- While XDefiant does a solid job of displaying many of the weapon stats in-game, they don't show everything and it can be hard to directly compare guns so today, I wanted to share a full breakdown and comparison of all of the LMGs in the game (without attachments). What's your go to LMG so far in XDefiant?

Looks like I had some big rendering issues with my "Best Guns to Use Against Phantoms" video so here's a different one instead and I'll get that one fixed for a future date.
The best guns didn't exist
@TheXclusiveAce Did you possibly take the LMG stats with a barrel extender on them? I am seeing 10% less for all default ranges for these LMGs in game. M60: 34/45/300m, rpk: 32/43/300m, m249: 27/37/300m.
Side note... I actually had the same values written down as you and now I am seeing different defaults, so I'm wondering if I am going crazy or if the game changed.
Actually I think I figured out the issue... It appears that it is applying the range debuff that cleaners get, even outside of the game if that was the last class you used.
I was perplexed because I had just checked the numbers an hour or two prior and confused how I could have gotten them all wrong by 10%.
As a side note, this confirms your -10% for cleaners testing... If you pull up the detailed stats inside the practice area with cleaners, you can see there that the calculation is at -10%.
The TTK stats are wrong. 4 shots to kill are 457 not 5. I calculated it. It should be by the rpk 571 ms. I didn't calculated the other lmgs, but it should be the same
@@kenjieugeneventura9056 Hi -- are you removing the first shot from your calculation? The way he is looking at it is the TTK doesn't start until the first bullet hits, so he isn't counting the first shot.
M60, set it up for aimwalking speed and ads speed and put the rapid fire barrel on with a barrel extender
Shhhhhhhh
I'm loving the M60 with a full aim walking movement speed build, but I don't use the rapid fire barrel so the recoil doesn't hurt my ability to use it at longer ranges. I use that slot for a suppressor instead.
It's deadly one of my favourite guns even the m249 is a beast
Sounds nasty
Whats your class setup
I personally think that the m60 is one of the best weapons in the entire game if u put right attachments on it
Absolutely. What do you run on it?
@@dangerzone3470 Double rapidfire attachment red dot QuickDraw small vert. U could run strafe speed stock instead of red dot sight..
@@dangerzone3470 Build for ADS walk speed. Small Vert Grip, Fast or Quick Mag, Reflex Sight (optional) Lightweight stock, Leather-Wrapped Grip.
@@IZenoXIno fast mag??
@@BobbyBoushaayfast mag isn't worth it. I can get 8 kills a clip. I use 3x any map that has straight lines. The 3x build I use accuracy build, my run n gun build I use ADS.
Love to see your hustle and grind and expanding beyond CoD Ace. You're a gem in the CoD community as you will be in the xdefiant community.
Coming from tac shooters, where a 30 round mag is enough to down 5 enemies or more, it feels nice to have a 100 round mag and not be forced to reload after every other engagement.
RATATATATATATATATATATATA
From my perspective/experience, vertical recoil is easier to control than horizontal, so despite the overall smaller magnitude of recoil on the RPK, the fact that the others don't immediately start veering off to the side makes them easier to handle for me. And so, that being said, M60 all day.
I will say, for the types of players who don't want to bother with all the movement shenanigans in the game and just want to run around and shoot stuff, the LMGs are naturally very well suited to that playstyle. You definitely want to try to already be ADS'd in preparation for your gunfights with these.
M60 IS GOATED
Thanks for the video, its helpful and informative!
i wish you dropped some attachment videos for xdefiant. Is there any classes you’ve already tried that is good?
M60 close rage (collapsed stock, light weight barrel, super light front rail, quick draw grip and for the last you can use a muzzle booster or red dot depending on how good your aim is
M60 Long range: chrome lined barrel, vertical front grip, acog 4x, heavy grip and precision stock. Would only recommend for zone control and escort
@@SlanTheMan-bc5lk i noticed with the classes in this game every video people are using completely different classes. In cod their’d be more similarities. so i guess for now im gonna use the classes that feel best for me. such as focusing on ads walking speed with the ak and a mix of ads and ads walking speed for the ACR
My 1st gold lmg was the m249 strafe build .
Reflex sight
Leather wrapped grip
Lightweight stock
Chromelined
Quickdraw
The M60 just feels so good. It's my favorite gun in the game currently.
Let’s go! I need to work on my LMGs I finally unlocked them all last night
Consistent damage over range makes the RPK perfect for silencer builds. Iron sights are good so you can spec for accuracy with some ADS walking speed and you’re golden. Had some crazy games with this build
I use the m60 as a counter sniper due to accuracy and stopping power
I've been waiting for this one. Been liking the RPK over the default LMG and the ARs. Time to see if its placebo or not lol
The RPK is basically a long range AK 47, it's great.
went 46-8 with the rpk. i like it way better than the other lmgs it honestly feels more like an assualt rifle once you get ads speed attachments.
M249 SAW, this has been the only weapon i have been using since the start of the game, as it is featured in one of the default classes, the only one i have been using xD
hey great video. i was wondering what page/app do you use with all weapon stats?
Thanks. I do all of the testing and collect all of the data myself
@@TheXclusiveAce nice work
Hey ace would you pls make a comparison about rapidfire barrel vs heavybarrel and compare the ttk which is the better option thanks ❤
I believe the m60 with heavy barrel also decreases the number of headshots for a 3 shot kill to 2 headshots and 1 body shot
Is that worth the fire rate decrease is the question
@@spudmaster1793well the headshots requires are 1 less but the ttk would be definitely slower than 3h cus of slower firerate. But would still faster than 4 shots so it’s down to whether you can pull it off
With desync in this game and the M60s already slow fire rate, I don't recommend slowing it down even further. Rapid fire over heavy 10/10 times.
Hey Ace -- I think a good idea for a video would be going through various counters for different abilities. Like, what are the ways to defeat spiders, or ways to best stop certain ults, etc.
The m60 is one of the most fun guns I’ve ever used in a game. I run a mostly speed build with 8x scope. Used it until I got gold and now pull it out when I need to win a match.
Can you do a video of which guns is the fire rate barrel is worth using on?
M249 also got fast mags, turning it in AR/LMG hybrid, just like Bruen in MW2019
When are the best class class setups coming? Does the aiming feel clunky to you in xdefiance?
Love the RPK and M249 with cleaners. Fire rate increases on M249 feel soooo good
It's nice seeing an M60 with actually good iron sights when most of its CoD appearances have absolutely horrible iron sights. For my build, I stack heavy on aim walking movement speed attachments and do a lot of pre-aiming and strafing around corners.
The M249 is my 1st gold cammo...I love the LMGs in this game
I got the m60 gold, and it’s my favorite gun to use in the game! Just too fun to chain kills together. M1911 run in when I run outta ammo instead of reloading for 8 sec 😂
This might sound like I'm mental but LMG's are my favourite guns in the game. And I get on very well with them. M249 is my favourite for the reasons you mentioned.
Seeing the RPK getting a guaranteed 5 shot kill took my right back to CoD's glory days where LMGs didn't have damage drop off (with exceptions).
Id love a 2x sight to use with LMGs
Just had my best match so far in the game, first time ever using an LMG. The M249 absolutely rips and it's nice to not have to reload after every kill like some of the other guns (Vector, but really all SMGs due to the high TTK). I think I may start using the M249 a lot more lol.
I love the m249 Im able to always hit a headshot in the mix. How much does the ttk change on guns with the attachment that increases fire rate like on the ak47
try in shooting range. It will tell you ttk and shots to kill and a lot of other stuff
Attachment video soon?
M60 got a special place in my heart from older games. Gonna lvl that up first, when Im done with the ARs. Full move speed with rapid fire will be the way to go i think
I’m leveling up both the 249 n M60. One I feel semi mobile the other I feel like an elephant in mud.
Since the ADS speed is so slow to the point where it's almost unsalvageable, I think the best way to be "mobile" with the M60 is to load up on aim walking movement speed attachments and strafe around corners while pre-aiming. Sadly, the best attachments to improve aim walking movement speed aren't unlocked until like level 40, so you have to put up with it being slow until then.
M249 is my favorite so far. But I like all the lmgs. They seem to be best in modes like escort where you are defending a position. RPK should maybe get a slight boost to movement and handling in my opinion.
I love the m249 due to the sheer power it has
Honestly, big fan of the M249 and M60, not big on the RPK. I'm not too sure what it was but no matter how I built the RPK, it ALWAYS felt lackluster. On my journey to Lv50, the majority of my kills came from the Cleaner's fire damage after death.
I'm surprised the RPK ADS time is slower than the M249, I feel like that should be backwards, especially since the M249 can also get a 60 round mag instead of the painfully slow box mag.
I did some number crunching and personal testing of my own and I think there might have been an error on the TTK for the M249. With its 5 shot kill at 600rpm, the ttk should be 500ms to the body and 400ms with a headshot mixed in.
This is a common mistake when calculating TTK in an FPS game. The first shot starts the timer so it isn't included in the equation. A different way to look at it is you have to count the fire time between every required shot.
@@TheXclusiveAce Oh, ok I didnt think about it that way. That does sound like a bit of crucial information I missed. Either way love your videos and XDefiant. Keep up the good work :]
now is my kind of vid I rock lmgs in all games lol
M60 has been my Go to LMG since CoD4 lol
2 videos in one day?
I want the m240B or the L-SAT
gave teh m60 a shot and it rips super hard for me. only thing that holds it back is you cant get to the enemies quickly enough :D Insane damage output with nice accuracy
Perfect explanation. Thanks
The m249 with the 60 round quick mag and red dot easily makes it the best lmg
Be a beast and recall about that matter you’re only taking 45 maybe six shots to kill things your recoil it isn’t that important. I picked up the M 60 Jeff yesterday and it immediately improved my gameplay by 20 or 30%. I mean I’m getting I nearly wiped the team multiple times five people one time free and four multi kill other times, that 60 is a beat without any mods on it. It’s a beat.
Been using the m60 since the game came out. I got it kitted for accuracy with the 4x scope. Fucking laser if your aim is good
every weapon is a laser if you aim is good lol, saying a weapon is a laser means the weapon has no recoil.
The M60 is the only gun I have used in this game so far. It’s so good
Since youbcan break your reload by aiming, there isnt really any downside to reloading early with the box mags.
The empty reload on the rpk is significantly faster than its standard reload time, there basically isnt any downtime for firing and thats its best feature unfortunately.
RPK also has very good range
I love the m60. I feel like I'm a final boss in a videogame. And I always resort to say "ratatatataatatatata" when I shoot it for long periods of time.
noti ganggg
The M249 is my current go to but holy crap the iron sights are so bad
Getting it to level 2 to get the red dot was painful
So I generally lean towards really liking LMGs, especially belt-feds, in most FPS games so I generally leaned towards these pretty heavily outta the gate.
At first I felt pretty annoyed with the absurdly long reloads considering an LMG's intended use will have it burning through ammo pretty often, and prefering big belt-fed mags when I saw that the M249 couldn't improve that and keep that belt-fed I kinda felt a bit turned away from it, but still used it a decent amount regardless.
And honestly? For my preferred slower and more tanky support/crowd control playstyle (and a more aggro playstyle tbh) I really prefer the M60 over the M249. Despite it's slower handling stat I feel like I can land headshots consistant enough to get a decent benefit from the faster ttk when I need it in one on one fights. I also absolutely LOVE the M60's irons in most games it's in so I never really use sights on it so it saves me an attachment compared to the Saw and the RPK. And I just really feel like I can build it for most anything and really keep that big heavy LMG feel of it that I absolutely love.
Overall, I also am a fiend for the long range pressure you can apply with it. I could already catch out snipers who'd not expect that much damage that accurately from far away, but now with flinch I can be an absolute menace to them and give them a really hard time if they don't land that instant one shot, which isn't as often as other folk given I like to play phantom due to my ability to dig in and recap objectives.
Overall, despite the very minimal diversity in the LMG class compared to a game like CoD, I prefer the way they feel in this game and the way they really mesh with it so much more than a CoD game as in those LMGs kinda just feel out of place and outclassed due to the dominance of high mobility high firerate ARs and SMGs combined with the really quick TTK.
But point is, M60 is my go to without a shadow of a doubt and despite it being less forgiving overall I love it for that and it has so much LMG charm for me, for anyone who wants to try LMGs and get the full LMG experince I'd suggest the M60 of you're willing to take on a slower more supportive playstyle for the benefit of great crowd control and more long range pressure than snipers are comfortable with you having. If you however want something that still has that LMG feel to it but gives you better wiggle room to make errors and with some attachments allows a more aggressive playstyle then go with the M249 Saw. The RPK is also a really good pick for those who want something that feels more like an AR so potentially much more familiar but maybe still wants to get used to an LMG's slower nature overall, but I tend to not like it much as it's small mag even with the drum can result in me running outta bullets way faster than I'm used to and as a result getting caught out by a bigger group than I can handle with the amount of ammo it has. I really wanna see them add more LMGs aswell to the game, maybe something like the ALDA 5.6 from Siege that Maestro uses could be good as I absolutely loved that bullet spewwing monster of a gun in Siege and I feel like it'd be right at home in a game like XDefiant.
M249 is pretty nice, especially on escort and zone control.
❤ love that you still covering this game I hope it continues to thrive
M60 is a BEAST!
More xdefiant content!
M60 and m249 are both very strong, rpk could probably use a little buff.
Rpk easy from lil I use of it is just slightly slower than Assault rifle Yeah, it has more Ammo than the base assault rifles It's hinderling reminds me of the Rpd from cold war, which was my favorite gun in that game
i despise using lmgs in cod but the m249 is my fav gun in the game
They could at LEAST match the RPK's sprintout and ADS speads to the M249. Why is it lighter and yet still slower? Needs a little buff
Early 🙌🏼
M60 hits so nice.
Is this game hit scan or projectile?
RPK my beloved. Its an LMG you can run like a Assault Rifle. M249 is second place. M60 could be better tbh i need more attachments for it.
The highest level gun I have is the M249, it's a blast to use
Im shocked to hear that the m249 has significantly more recoil than the rpk. In my experience, the m249 felt like the most accurate auto in the whole game and the rpk felt less accurate than the acr
Probably has to do with visual recoil feels like the rpk has a little bit of side to side visual recoil where at the m249 feels a lot more stable
Fun fact: The M60 does 25 damage, so it should kill a Libertad in 4 hits, right? Wrong! In the time the M60 has shot off 3 bullets, the passive healing already has healed them for 2-4 HP so the 4th bullet wont kill them and you need a 5th bullet. Same shots to kill and TTK on the Phantoms as on the Libertad.
Recoil in this game is so easy
What screws me is- the aim slow down😂
I want full aim assist but then its hard to pull down.
I also keep my vert sens lower, ive raised it now so i can control recoil tho😂
They need to fix hit registration asap
Big fan of the m249 with the chrome lined barrel
Rpk hit like a semi truck
Thanks for the breakdown, appreciate all the xDefiant content 👍
I wish rpk got a buff
Rpk has all the negatives of a lmg with a base 45 mag, m249 is by far the best lmg due to handling and its rate of fire compared to the m60
I use m60 because it is cool
Honestly, I like the LMG's in this game. I feel like their scope is limited, but they're good at doing what they're made for: locking down lanes. They're awful for CQC, and they're not great for pushing any position. Sometimes you can take out snipers at longer ranges, but a skilled sniper will still get you. But for locking down lanes and holding choke points, they're great! I tend to lean towards the M60 for this.
For all the stats the RPK has in favor of it, it feels like the worst gun in the game next to the 870 pump action
M60 one tap fire snipers across map.
So the RPK has the slowest ttk, slower ads and sprintout than the m249, and the smallest mag but uh...
I reloades fast..??? Come ON game.
I use the M249 and it’s a monster 👿 😂
Imo rpk is the sleeper in the class
IMO, they're all slept on. I hardly see anyone using LMGs. I have the M60 to lvl 65 and I have tapped the ads speed out, and it's nasty.
Rpk has to be the most forgoten weapon in this game
M60 and m249 are both absolutely nuts once you get the higher level attachments. RPK feels pointless, one of the rare unbalanced guns in the game
Who hits headshots with slow firing lmgs when there's still abuse of the bunny rabbits hopping around 😂😂
I think the LMGs are all in a very good place in the metagame at doing exactly what an LMG should do
They’re niche picks, unideal for a lot of situations but if there’s an area that you really need to lock down or an area teammates need to be but can’t reach because of the crossfire, pretty much any of them should do the trick nicely
Even the M60, a weapon infamous for being terrible in pretty much any video game it features in, is actually quite cromulent and has a very valid, albeit uncommon usecase in the meta.
Which is really refreshing to say, I mean honestly, how many times have you ever seen a game that has such stable yet diverse weapon balance in your life? There’s a couple edge cases for unbalanced weapons, the MRs are ridiculously strong, the shotguns are ridiculously weak, pistols aren’t even worth thinking about, spiderbots are incredibly annoying and buggy, but as a whole, XDefiant honestly seems to have launched with a genuinely good metagame out of the box.
Shotguns next por favor?
What about the phantoms 💀
First
RPK is absolutley terrible. M60 is solid and M249 is a monster
Turn off cross play it’s a much better experience
M 60 is disgusting
LMG's are useless just use a sniper rifle.
M249 is a beast. RPK is horrible. M60 is meh.
The M60 is a beast too. 4 shots to kill?
@@dangerzone3470 I see a ton of people are saying that. I need to go back and try it again.
@@dangerzone3470 what attachments do you like?
@@Minx717 my bad work is crazy rn. I’ll give them to you when I get home in a bit . The SAW is more versatile but it almost feels like the m60 needs a nerf when you find a groove with it.
@@Minx717 rapid fire barrel, small vert on the front rail, reflex, quick draw rear grip, lightweight stock. Seen people recommend the chrome line barrel over the rapid fire
How about we just play the game and let people figure it out on their own
