Call of Duty Modern Warfare Remastered Multiplayer Guide

Light Machine Guns

Light Machine Guns are often used as support weapons. Their high ammo capacity and damage makes them perfect for laying down a ton of fire, but their low accuracy can make it tough to get kills. Since these weapons are so massive, the mobility is very low compared to other classes.

M249 SAW

The M249 Squad Automatic Weapon has a high rate of fire and great accuracy for a light machine gun, though the power is the poorest of the group.
