Warzone Meta Ranking for LMGs in Battle Royale Season 1

#1 DG-58 LSW

The DG-58 LSW ranks at the top of our LMG list. It's a lightweight squad weapon that excels in controlling zones and laying down suppressive 5.8x42mm fire. Ideally, it has the upper hand in both closer and medium-range engagements, making it a suitable weapon for both aggressive and tactical players.

#2 Bruen Mk9

At rank 2, we have the Bruen Mk9, a fully automatic, air-cooled light machine gun chambered in 5.56. It supports your team by pinning down the enemy with a high fire rate and overwhelming covering fire. This LMG is great for those who like to hold down positions while disorienting the enemy.

#3 Holger 26

The Holger 26, ranking at #3, is another fine choice. As a highly modular light machine gun, it can be adapted to most combat scenarios. It's chambered in versatile 5.56 ammunition, offering a flexible option for a variety of encounters. It's well-rounded in terms of both performance and adaptability.

#4 Pulemyot 762

Beyond the top 3, at #4 we have the Pulemyot 762. This belt-fed heavy machine gun provides excellent suppressive fire, dealing a massive amount of damage at long-range. Despite its destructive powers, it does struggle a bit with mobility, making it a better choice for those who prefer to dig in and defend rather than charge into the action.

#5 Rapp H

At rank 5 we have the Rapp H. This gun boasts a powerful fire rate, making it the fastest time-to-kill in the LMG category. However, high power comes with slow mobility and ADS speed. It should be ideally used for holding down long corridors of fire.

#6 TAQ Eradicator

Rank #6 yields the TAQ Eradicator. This LMG is unique in the sense that it begins by firing rapidly and then slows down, becoming more accurate. Its notable speed & accuracy trade-off might require a bit of strategy to use effectively but once mastered, it can be a formidable weapon.

#7 556 Icarus

Number 7 in the list is the 556 Icarus. As an M4 LMG platform, it offers a fast fire rate and quick time to kill. The trade-off is its slower mobility, which may be a drawback for players who prefer getting up close and personal.

#8 Sakin MG38

At #8 stands the Sakin MG38. This LMG commands a ridiculously low time to kill with a very low recoil. It's offset by poor mobility and higher-than-average ADS times, painting the Sakin MG38 as a heavy killer, great for defending.

#9 HCR 56

Ranking at #9 is the HCR-56. This LMG has a good time to kill for both short and long ranges but suffers from huge recoil and slow mobility. Because of these drawbacks, it's a challenging weapon choice but can prove rewarding for right strategies.

#10 RPK

Finally, at #10 we have the RPK. Despite its long-range effectiveness and low recoil, its slow mobility and ADS speed might make it a challenging weapon to operate, particularly in high-octane scenarios.
