Using a LMG I have come to realise requires no skill at all  
Definitely a low skill weapon for those that can’t play

Do you have an example of a weapon in BFV that isn’t low skill?

Medic bolt actions do need some skill tbh. That might be the reason why nobody is using them

Good point.

Although I’m not sure if no ones using them also because I just don’t see them being all that much use to a Medic whose in the thick of it fighting and reviving.

Fun in TDM though

Don’t understand this post.  
if they don’t require any skill does that mean you whent 20-1 first time you used it?  
That would tell me you were skilled not that the weapon didn’t require skill.

They don’t shoot themselves last time I checked, its all about game sense and positioning then aim and reactions come into it and lastly the weapon choice.

I find that hard to believe, if you can do well with a LMG, you’d do several times better with an AR. LMGs seem easier to use because their lower RoF and steady recoil, but unlike ARs they don’t have a regulated burst at the beginning that recoils exactly the same every time.

MMGs are a bit of a toss up, they perform remarkably but require you to remain stationary and turn you into sniper fodder, when mobile (or just not bipoded) they lose to just about everything.

I suppose he means he find no challenge in playing this game, goes 50-2 on a regular base and controls the mouse or controller with his elbow.

An example

[![Video: Turner SMLE death](https://battlefieldforum.co/uploads/default/original/3X/6/f/6f63e261cb21016f482812988abc99f0a0457d64.jpeg "Turner SMLE death") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xm1kJ_ttciE)

It is cute that in comparison people complain about shotguns and snipers giving no time to react while this is also giving no reaction time in spite of being spammable AF

I dont understand what this thread is about. What constitutes a high or low skill weapon? Place cursor on target and fire, taking into account movement and kick.

What would need to be changed in the weapon set in the game to make it high skill? Randomly reversing controls or something 😑

LMGs on consoles might be better but on PC they require good positioning or flanking because of ROF. You get outgunned by literally every weapon in close quarters. LMGs gives reaction time because of damage model. Its literally support weapon. As someone said, if you master LMG you can excel with every weapon in game. And imo thats true. As support player, every time i use assault, i feel like god.
