Understanding The MG-94 Machine Gun
The MG-94 Machine Gun is a formidable weapon in Helldivers 2, offering high accuracy and a generous magazine at the cost of reduced firing mobility. Its stats include:
- Damage: 112
- Magazine Capacity: 20
- Max Magazines: 8
- Recoil: 35
- Fire Rate: 350
- Firing Modes: Semi
- Viewfinder: 25m, 75m, 150m.
Mastering Firing Modes
The MG-94 Machine Gun has a semi-automatic firing mode, which can be set to its highest rate of fire setting for burst firing at range or full auto when the swarm is in your face. Crouching and laying down can lower recoil, and reloading is faster if there is still one round in the magazine.
Optimizing Loadouts
The MG-94 Machine Gun takes up the back slot and a stratagem slot, so players should be mindful of their loadout and choose other weapons and stratagems that complement the machine gun.
Primary guns, sidearms, and grenades all have their own stats and special traits, so grab the right gear for each mission.
