## Gameplay Information

The **"The Pig"** is a Primary weapon introduced in the 15.6.0 update.

## Appearance

It is a general-purpose light machine gun (based from M60) with a predominant desert tan all over its body. It is equipped with a 150-round player-side magazine box, front grip under the barrel, iron sights and a lifting handle grip. (The last two of which serves no use for gameplay purposes)

## Performance

It is a light machine gun that fires 10 rounds per second and has 150 rounds on use. With a very good accuracy, this weapon can target snipers if the user is skilled enough in doing so. However, the absence of scope requires the user more practice and precise aiming skills.

Its large capacity, tied with a very good damage allows this weapon to be used as a crowd controller.

## Strategy

It deals great damage and has high fire rate, massive ammo capacity, fairly-low mobility and an outstanding accuracy.

### Tips

* Aiming for the head is key for additional damage on enemies.
* This weapon is good for siege attackers, so keep moving on top of the ram while shooting at the opponents.
* This weapon is good overall, and you can rack up a decent amount of kills by just spamming it the entire match.
* Use these against cat spammers, because of its high damage and fire rate.
* You are unlikely to run out of ammo very often so use this to your advantage, but keep in mind that when you do have to reload it is quite slow, so remember to not reload out in the open when possible.
* In Team Fight, pick off key targets (i.e. Ghost Lantern users) to prevent enemies from getting fast easy kills.
* It IS an endgame weapon. Obtain this, and you'll never need another primary.
* This weapon's fire rate is really good so if you miss you still have a lot of shots. On the flip side, the high fire rate will deplete ammunition fast if opponent circle strafes.
* Spam this weapon whenever possible.
* Its high magazine capacity allows you to shred multiple enemies at once until it runs out of ammo.
* pair this with the Upgrade trigger module for its fire rate to be augmented.
* Treat like the Assault Machine Gun with a capacity increased threefold but without a scope.
* If fighting against a 3 category spam player, this weapon is a good one to perforate them to death.
* Its 65 mobility (legacy 110) is not enough for fleeing purposes, so use high mobility weapons to compensate for this average mobility.
* It does not have a reserve capacity upon spawn or respawn, so find for more ammo pickups to survive when firing.
* It features an outstanding accuracy, so you can use this in medium to long ranges.
* Using the Explosive Rounds gadget can make this a devastating weapon in all ranges. However, this additional feature being given by the said gadget sacrifices headshots for splash damage, since the explosion is a primary focus for that gadget, so do not use it if you are into headshots.
* It has a somewhat long reloading time. Hide in hidden areas to reload.
* Strafe, while firing, to ensure you are not easily hit by the enemies.
* Its rapid damage can severely tear down enemy armor easily.
* While its great accuracy seems too alluring, make sure to aim very well so as not to waste its precious ammo.
* Switch to low-weight weapon if you wish to move around with much ease.
* This weapon is multipurpose that it can be used to back up your teammates in an offense or defense mode.
* This weapon is very useful in long ranges.
* Pair this with certain module combinations to watch its sparks fly!
* Useful for targeting snipers, if mastered or used correctly.
* It is useful for guarding the flags in Capture the Flag mode, due to its offensive abilities.
* Use this to finish off/weaken opponents.
* It is recommended to make burst shots to make sure that you can aim very well, though the accuracy when holding fire is quite alluring.
