Learn how to fall back to the MG42 and provide covering fire for your squad in Call of Duty Objective 3.
Captain Price will instruct you to fall back to the MG42 (a type of machine gun) set up on the bridge. Your task is to provide covering fire (shooting to protect teammates) for your squad. While using the MG42, you do not need to worry about snipers taking your head off (a shot to the head), so you can stay in position for as long as you need.
You might find the MG42 ineffective initially due to its muzzle flash (the burst of light from the gun barrel when firing) and recoil (the backward kick of the gun). To use it effectively, fire in short bursts of two to three seconds. Aim by centering the cross-hairs (the aiming reticle) on your target and fire. Repeat this process until you receive a new objective.
- Fire the MG42 in short, two to three-second bursts to manage recoil and muzzle flash.
- Center your cross-hairs on the target before firing.
- You are safe from snipers while manning the MG42 on the bridge.
