CAC4 - LIGHT MACHINE GUNS - 4 WEAPONS - RUN SPEED PERCENTAGE: 87.5%

Explore Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare's Light Machine Guns, including the HK21, RPK (unlocked at Level 5 for $2000), M60, and Stoner63.

HK21

The HK21 is a full-auto light machine gun available from the start. It is powerful and hard-hitting, but suffers from a very long reload time. Hipfiring is strongly discouraged due to unpredictable spread; always Aim Down Sights (ADS) unless absolutely unavoidable. The Extended Mags attachment is recommended as it increases the magazine size to 80 rounds with no noticeable increase in reload time.

RPK

The RPK is a full-auto light machine gun unlocked at Level 5 and costs $2000. It fires at a good rate with good damage. The reload time is long, making Sleight of Hand a recommended perk for aggressive play. Recoil is manageable for medium range, but full-auto fire beyond Nuketown range is inadvisable. The best attachments are Dual Mags and a Red Dot Sight, though Sleight of Hand is considered a better perk than Warlord for combining attachments.

• Damage: 40

• Mag Size: 40
• Empty Reload Time: 5.5 seconds

• Multipliers: Head - 1.4%
• Attachments: Extended Mags (75 Rounds), Dual Mags, ACOG Sight, Red Dot Sight, Reflex Scope, Infrared Scope

M60

The M60 is a full-auto light-medium machine gun unlocked at Level 21 and costs $2000. It has high damage and good recoil for an LMG, but features the longest reload time in the game with no reload cancel ability, slow movement speed, and terrible hipfire. It is best used situationally, particularly on maps like Jungle where you can utilize cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects) and foliage for choke point defense. Recommended attachments include the Grip, Extended Mags, and Reflex Scope. Warlord can be used to combine attachments to enhance its choke point holding potential.

• Max Damage: 50
• Min Damage: 40
• Rate of Fire: 535 RPM
• Range: 250 meters (50 damage) / 375 meters (40 damage)
• Mag Size: 100
• Empty Reload Time: 9.7 seconds
• Add Reload Time: 7.5 seconds
• Recoil Values: Up - 60, Left - 80, Right - 80
• Multipliers: Head - 1.4%
• Attachments: Big Ammo (200 Rounds), ACOG Sight, Red Dot Sight, Reflex Scope, Grip, Infrared Scope

Stoner63

The Stoner63 is a full-auto light machine gun unlocked after purchasing all other LMGs and costs $2000. It performs more like an assault rifle with high power. Slower movement speed and poor hipfire make it less suitable for close-range combat. Recoil when firing full auto can cause shots to miss if not controlled. However, it has a quick reload for normal magazines, high power, and a fast fire rate, making it excellent when paired with the Lightweight perk. Extended Mags (100 Rounds) is the best attachment, allowing for more kills before needing to reload.
