The HMG is a large two-handed automatic firearm. It can be crafted by a Security Officer with the Warlord talent unlocked.

Function

The HMG functions as an automatic, large, two-handed ranged weapon, shooting rounds from a detachable Magazine. The HMG needs an HMG Magazine to function, each of which contains 100 rounds. As for all firearms, ammo cannot be recovered. The HMG possesses a great amount of firepower (each round being comparable to an SMG round, while having twice the firerate), it slows the wearer down when held in hands, has an extreme amount of recoil, rendering the weapon nigh unusable for underskilled characters and being capable of pushing the player back with considerable speed when in water, but considering it's firerate and size is fairly accurate for Characters with an adequate Weapon Skill.

It can be crafted by a Security Officer with the Warlord talent unlocked, or alternatively can be bought on Outposts with a difficulty of at least 65.

Due to the HMG's size, it cannot be carried in the hotbar. It can only be held in both hands, or in the Gear slot, which hangs it from the character's back.

Using the HMG without having fullfiled the skill requirement is not advised, as the extreme recoil renders the weapon completely uncontrollable.

Usage

The HMG is held with both hands and must be loaded with an HMG Magazine to be used. As with all weapons and tools, using it is done by holding the Right-click to take aim, then by Left-clicking to shoot/use. Being an automatic weapon, the HMG can be fired continuously until the Magazine runs out of rounds by holding . Depleted magazines cannot be refilled.

Trivia

• Magazines don't actually contain 100 rounds, instead they spawn bullets on demand as long as the Magazine has enough durability (-1 durability per bullet in this case), like the Coilgun.
• The HMG uses 5.56mm Cartridges, meaning it actually classifies as a Light Machine Gun.
