MG-105 Stalwart

The MG-105 Stalwart is a light machine gun (LMG) filling the role of fire support without being as heavy as an MG-94 machine gun. The Stalwart is part of the Demolitionist equipment kit.

Due to its lighter weight, the initial spread is quite wide but the weapon is easily controlled once the user settles into the recoil. In other words, this weapon becomes more accurate when the trigger is held down for a short time, firing full-auto.

A great alternate starting weapon that is easier for new recruis to handle than the standard-issue AR-19 Liberator assault rifle, the Stalwart's usefulness can drop off on higher difficulties. This is caused by its wide initial bullet spread and lack of armour-piercing ammunition, decreasing the solo Helldiver's odds of eliminating enemy patrols before they have time to raise the alarm.

Helldivers start with 4 magazines of MG-105 ammunition, and can carry up to 8. Each magazine contains 75 rounds (doubled to 150 with the Extended Magazine upgrade). A 'low ammunition' warning sound will play if the weapon is fired with less than 15 rounds remaining in the magazine.

Reload time is 3.5 seconds if the magazine has been fully emptied, otherwise 3 seconds.
