MG36

:For the assault rifle variants, see G36C, G37H and Holger 556.
The is a light machine gun featured in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Call of Duty: Mobile and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III.
==Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3==
===Campaign===
The MG36 appears in the mission "Persona Non Grata" with a Grip, found on the ground as soon the player takes control of Yuri. It appears somewhat differently from its multiplayer version, as it has a considerably smaller magazine, lower rate of fire, lower recoil, and decreased reload add time (meaning the magazine is refilled when the new magazine is about to be inserted to the weapon), making it effective for reload cancelling. However, it can run out of ammo rather quickly, depending on how much the player uses it.
===Multiplayer===
The MG36 deals forty damage at all ranges, needing three shots to kill, or two shots to kill if one bullet hits the head. The MG36 is a one shot kill at all ranges in Hardcore game types, unless shooting through heavy cover. The MG36 has high penetration power.
The MG36 fires fully automatically at a rate of 769 RPM.
The MG36 has recoil values of 80 to the left, 80 to the right, 50 upwards, and 10 downwards. The MG36 has a centerspeed value of 1500. Like with all other LMGs in Multiplayer, the MG36 has a small amount of shot spread when aiming down the sights. The MG36 has a moderate amount of idle sway and a fast swaying speed.
The MG36 allows users to move at 80% of the base movement speed, or strafe at 32% of the base speed. The hip-fire crosshairs are large. The MG36 has a slightly faster aim down sight time than most other LMGs, aiming in 380 milliseconds. The MG36's reload animation takes 3.73 seconds if the drum is not empty, or 4.53 seconds if the drum is fully empty. The MG36 has a Reload Cancel time of 4 seconds. For partial reload animations, the user must wait 270 milliseconds after the partial reload animation ends before the reload is completed, effectively making it impossible to reload cancel a partly depleted magazine with the MG36.
The MG36 has the standard LMG capacity of 100 rounds. The MG36 by default gets one drum in reserve, giving a starting ammo loadout of 200 rounds. 
The MG36 has the standard assortment of attachments and weapon proficiencies on offer. All attachments and weapon proficiencies work as expected on the MG36.
Due to a recent update, all light machine guns kill in a minimum of three shots against a normal opponent unless shooting through cover, Therefore, the only negative aspect about using a Silencer with this gun is the opportunity cost of not using another attachment.

===Survival Mode===
The MG36 is available in Survival Mode at level 48 and costs $7000. It is an effective weapon, with good damage, a large magazine, decent rate of fire, and a rather fast reload for light machine guns, which makes it probably the best choice of any LMG to purchase. The player should beware when adding the grip attachment to the MG36, as it will lower its rate of fire.

==Call of Duty: Mobile==
The MG36 returns in Call of Duty: Mobile as the Holger 26. It was added in June 2021 as part of the Season 4: Spurned & Burned update.
===Multiplayer===
The Holger 26 is a unique LMG, that directly clashes with the M4LMG in terms of modifiability. Both feature magazine conversions that increase ADS speed, and reload time, and both feature only one attachment that can increase range. However, where the M4LMG takes advantage of higher damage with less mobility and a lower fire-rate, the Holger makes use of consistent damage, with no multipliers to any part of the body other than the head, and a higher fire-rate in combination with higher mobility.
Players running the weapon with the magazine conversion can play with this gun as if it was an assault rifle, with slightly-below average mobility. In this role, it is quite viable, the consistent damage making it quite easy to use.
Of course, as an LMG, it also fairs well, despite not having an increased drum magazine like other belt-fed or drum-feds. Its consistent damage, high fire-rate, accuracy, recoil, and mobility allow players to hunker down and if needed, swap to various enemies charging down a lane fairly easily.
Despite not having the attractive damage output of other LMGs, the Holger sports high consistency, allowing for both aggressive play with magazine conversions, and excelling in the traditional post-up role of an LMG.
===Battle Royale===
The Holger 26 can be found on the floor, and can be equipped in the player's personal loadout. A Mythic variant can be found in Airdrops, and comes pre-equipped with a suppressor, laser sight, stock, and grip tape.

==Trivia==
===Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3===
*It appears that the MG36 model in singleplayer and on Create-a-Class image has two iron sights attached, one pair of sights is flipped down. This can be easily seen in "Persona Non Grata", where the MG36 is available at the beginning.
*In third-person, the MG36's iron sights are not removed when optics are attached.
*When camouflage is applied to the MG36, the right side of the gun only receives a simple color of the camouflage applied. For example, when the Snake Camouflage is applied, it will only look brownish on the right side. This is can be seen when viewing in third person.
*Prior to a patch, adding the Grip attachment significantly reduced the weapon's rate of fire in multiplayer; this is still present in Survival Mode.
===Call of Duty: Mobile===
*The Holger-26 has an integrated bipod but it is not used when the Bipod attachment is equipped.
