Stats

 *  Call-in Time : 8 seconds
 *  Uses : Unlimited
 *  Cooldown Time : 480 seconds (8 minutes)

Gameplay Tips

 * The heavy machine gun tears through medium armor with ease, making enemies such as Scout Striders and Hive Guards as easy to kill as the typical low tier enemies.
 * The HMG does not have crosshairs when the player is using it in third person view. While the player can still use the weapon in third person, it's strongly recommended to aim down sight paired with being crouched or prone for full effectiveness.
 * If you must shoot on the move, the recoil is manageable when lowering the fire rate to 450 rpm.
 * Sporting armor that features the Fortified or Engineering Kit passive abilities helps tremendously as these both make the recoil reduction effects of crouching or going prone 30% more effective than they already are.
