Default Secondary for LMG class?

Been using the LSW alot lately just because (I know, RPD is better).

Anyway, what's a good secondary? I've been using a launcher but the AT-4 sucks balls and I don't have stinger yet. Is there really any need for a second gun? You can take people out at range easily and just spray like a lunatic when they get in close.

thoughts?

I messed around with a few before settling on a handgun. Reason being the quick draw time helps negate the slow LMG base speed, switching to a shotty or machine pistol can be tortuously slow and has killed me many times. If you manage to unlock any akimbo handgun then you're laughing.

I often use Akimbo m93 Rafficas on my LMG classes. They have a very quick draw time, are very powerful at close-medium/close range and work even better with SoHp, which I'm guessing your using as your 1st tier perk anyway.

My RPD class is probably my favorite. I've got to about 4000 kills with it in the last 2.5 prestiges alone. I use RPD with grip, SoH, SP, and SA. With SA hip firing at close range is pretty effective, though there is the luck factor. The RPD fires slow, which is it's close range weakness. That being said, it is good enough when hip fired. the L86 fires faster and is better than the RPD close range. Both have plenty of ammo so you won't have to depend on your secondary seeing as you probably won't run out. For these reasons I think a launcher is the best choice as a secondary. The RPG is the best, but the AT4 works pretty well in its place. It's good for clearing rooms, taking down UAVs, and can take down harriers in one shot + a few bullets from your gun. It's also good for spawn kills and defending flags.

I say you would rather have a close range weapon to resort to. LMG's are effective, however close range is pretty bad. Shotguns I recommend.

G18s are pretty good, although I either use Akimbo Rangers or Akimbo 1887s for my sniper and LMG classes.

I find you can get a lot of insults from having Akimbo G18s, but that's one of the main reasons I use it.

Also assuming you're using steady aim, the M93 or G18 akimbo would be good.

Either raffica akimbo or AT4. I rarely use the secondary due to long switch time and high ammo of the LMGs, but i kinda hate using a rocket with a bling class

I use the AT4 or RPG. Prefer the AT4. I just don't see the need for a gun secondary if you use SoH Pro and SA.

I'm curious as to why you don't like it. It weakens Harriers to the point where you only need a few SP Pro bullets to take it down. It's also a lot more accurate than the RPG for some nice rranged rockets through a window/doorway.

A real machine gun is big and typically mounted, like the mounted guns in the game. So even though they are heavy, they are relatively light.

I guess I just don't like that it doesn't take down a harrier in one hit. I'm using SP as my red perk to take advantage of two hit kills, so I can usually wait for the harrier to turn, shoot a rocket at it, and then duck back inside a building. At that point the harrier stays focused in my direction for awhile so its hard to finish it off with the gun.

I almost always take down the harrier before it kills me with the AT4. For one I'll shoot it as soon as it comes into the map. Also I duck behind cover for the couple of seconds it takes to switch weapons. After one hit with the AT4 it takes like 6 bullets to down the harrier.

I find myself using the lmg soh so sometimes if im outta bullets I perhaps need one more kill for a streak. I dont want to be too close to guy so I have my trusty TMP at hand, its accurate at distance and pretty fast. Granted its weak but Its normally just for one kill. The TMP gets a lot of grieft but its basically a little uzi imo, just have to make sure you dont miss.
