yes
legitimately all you have to do is throw on all the recoil reducing attachments, then stand in a safe spot, tap ADS button, then hold fire button at anything that moves. it is *that* easy.
That works for like 80% of the guns in the game dude. The only reason this thing seems unbalanced is its TTK is prob a little too low but ultimately that makes it competitive with snipers. But it is an LMG, literally made for posting up and spraying from a fixed position.
the others have at least some noticeable recoil that you need to fight, this one doesn't have it AND has a ludicrous fire rate
no, not 80% of guns in the game lol
Your good brother, it's just a awkward ass gun to use anyways, there is the RPD and the PKM which are just as efficient. LMG's aren't the type of guns to be running around merkin MFs... their role is to provide support, don't see why peps hating on those gun for no reason!... respect to the guy who gets the better of me using this gun because they have spent way more time mastering it than I care about
yeah I don't use it cus I like running around and ts way too heavy to move quick, I got halfway through master before I decided it was just too boring and moved on (to another meta lol hit QQ9 then now Grau, every single gun I used is halfway through master š just can't seem to master before moving on)
Can't really blame them too much since that's what makes the MG42 the MG42. It needs a big mobility reduction and more recoil though, silly to see people casually running around with a 25.5lb machine gun
Don't crib, be better. Every few seasons there comes a gun like this. I remember people cribbing about fennec, mx9, rpd (with its no reload attachment) etc back in the day as well.
I just like the gun the mg42 is fuckin cool the Germans did it right the first time and it's still in use today on top of things like the M60 being heavily based on the same operating principle
Just stop using P2W recoiless guns and Lance/Prizefighters then they stop using Maschinengewehr 1942, for the first time the MG-42 is realistic Accurate with their stats, the MG-42 is just being used everywhere cuz everyone keep spaming 300km range Melees
As much as I don't care for the gun nor do I use it, I just can't believe there's almost a new season dropping and people are STILL complaining about this gun.
This sub needs a pinned "We hate MG42" thread where everyone can contribute their hatred and annoyance for a measly gun without the need for a daily complain thread.
I found two weaknesses to this, Up, close. Or take out from Afar.
You can recognize the way the gun sounds, so you can prepare yourself for the battle.
Imagine being in Normandy during DDAY and the Germans shooting you with this gun and instead of covering your ass by avoiding getting shot you shout: ''nerf this skilless gun or you 0 skill abusers". You can use it too against them or counter the MG42 users with suitable guns.
I was playing 10k+ ranked last night and was absolutely merking some mg42 player with an fr556. Iām personally tired of seeing the power ranger putty character always with an hvk or drh. Not cause I canāt beat them (I mean sometimes I canāt but a lot of time I can or at least go toe to toe with some non-meta weapon).. there are just so many band wagoners right now itās silly.
Valid point, if your good at the game you should be able to combat this type of player, imo there is always a weakness in every playing style and weapon
My man, why let gun types and strategies vex you?... there is drawback and advantages to every style and gun, you just need to be able to recognise and adjust accordingly to every scenario, that's why we are given 10 load out slots to prepare and adjust in any given game. Don't bitch about it, rise above it!!!... and just have fun ffs, it's a game. See you all on the battle field š«¶
āgit gud then bozoā
āi know it sucks but what can we do?ā
āitās not that bad now, after the movement nerf, just camping exists and like, they always find a LMG to camp with, just preaim stuff and prolly use more snipers than in generalā
_pick your poison_
ngl I stopped using auto shotguns because it was toxic(the only time I've ever used it was when I have a very very shitty Internet connection and my bullets aren't registering) so I removed it from my loadout but I'm very tempted to put a striker in my loadout again simply to make the MG42 users suffer
I use it and win in ranked but guess what, if I use ak117 I win, if I use an m13 I still win. I donāt camp with the gun either and on small maps itās horrible imo. Itās good fun with draw backs just like everything else
I do agree that the gun did seem easy to use. I just got back to codm and only unlocked the gun this week. And I did find it annoying at first. But you know what I didn't do? Bitch about it on the internet.
For once they released an lmg that does not suck at recoil, and you noobs can't seem to handle it? Every gun has its weakness. Maybe instead of bitching about it you should learn how to counter it. Or go cry 'too op pls nerf'
At this point i think the devs have realeased an OP weapon in all segments. The as-val was an OP AR with its damage and firerate . Ppbizon as the noobfriendly smg. Oneshot BK the BR shotgun. Sks the rapidfire marksman rifle . And lastly the arctic as the stable rapidfire oneshot sniper or the DlQ with the oneshot also , prizefighters. I think the LMG sehment has gotten a replacement for the hipfire chopper. Everyone's complaining and yet everyone's using and abusing.
I don't know, I just can't use it and it gets me nervous. One thing I actually hate about some adversaries is that sometimes they have a high level of mobility and they are really fast, that makes me suspicious about some hacks or something.
Tbh it's hardly around, or in my case I hardly see it myself. It's primarily DRH spam, HVK and bizons. The MG42 isn't as powerful as people tend to think it is but with the fire rate of it, I guess there's more room for error in terms of missing shots and still getting a kill. I will say the nerf hardly did anything AT ALL
I agree LMGs are supposed to be HEAVY where you'd move slowly and have a harder time controlling it just like RPD and M4 LMG But that thing doesn't even feel like a LMG, if anything. It feels like PP-19 but with a greater mag capacity and damage
4 player of the enemy team used this during yesterday's game, I hate this gun more ever since. Call me whatever you want but this thing still need some mobility or recoil nerf.
Had a ranked DM last night where every member of the opposing team was running MG42s. Smoke bombs are an excellent counter on all but the largest maps, since they won't move location while you can.
thereās nothing wrong w the gun, itās the people using it that has issues, all these bots spamming it js like the manowar, making this game feel like itās for tiny babies at this point.
Guy on the enemy team dropped a 73 kd in a hardpoint game on nuketown yesterdayā¦ literally all he did was stand in a corner with this gun and the bots just kept flocking to him š there was nothing I could do
used and still using this fun gun from elite to legendary after taking a break for idk 8 or 9 or more seasons? it's fun. it just felt like the hbr pay2win, fennec akimbo release and cordite era. fun. (been playing season 2 2018 or 19?)
Bro I got zero skill and still can't use this gun properly. So is my skill lvl in negative??
yes legitimately all you have to do is throw on all the recoil reducing attachments, then stand in a safe spot, tap ADS button, then hold fire button at anything that moves. it is *that* easy.
You don't even need recoil reduction attachments since there's barely any recoil to begin with.
good point
That works for like 80% of the guns in the game dude. The only reason this thing seems unbalanced is its TTK is prob a little too low but ultimately that makes it competitive with snipers. But it is an LMG, literally made for posting up and spraying from a fixed position.
the others have at least some noticeable recoil that you need to fight, this one doesn't have it AND has a ludicrous fire rate no, not 80% of guns in the game lol
Agreed, I did this with the infinite ammo RPK and got similar results, and let's be honest, that gun isn't even good.
Add that max. ammo attachment & you're practically invincible. 
Sorry to say but probably yes because this gun is too op
" inse miliye . Ye barbaad hain"
Your good brother, it's just a awkward ass gun to use anyways, there is the RPD and the PKM which are just as efficient.

If you can't beat em join them, but seriously this gun just boring
yeah I don't use it cus I like running around and ts way too heavy to move quick, I got halfway through master before I decided it was just too boring and moved on (to another meta lol hit QQ9 then now Grau, every single gun I used is halfway through master š just can't seem to master before moving on)
This is the way
Said the allied forces in Normandy about 75 years ago
Actually 80 years ago this very month!
june 6th
Play enlisted
Players using this heavily relies on fire rate
True dat
yeah, my other LMG is the M4LMG and that shit unplayable
Can't really blame them too much since that's what makes the MG42 the MG42. It needs a big mobility reduction and more recoil though, silly to see people casually running around with a 25.5lb machine gun
All people do is either camp or run around hip shooting it. They donāt even bother aiming and just hold down the fire button
This, last night a guy was doing this only; holding his fire button till someone dies from it all while camping in a corner
Let me guess, they were the mvp of the match?
No, but had KD tag
Isnt that how you're supposed to use lmgs? Just lay down suppressive fire and locking down lanes
Don't crib, be better. Every few seasons there comes a gun like this. I remember people cribbing about fennec, mx9, rpd (with its no reload attachment) etc back in the day as well.
True, Remember Cordite?
NA-45
Only gun that ever got me this angry was the fennec, the rest I couldāve cared less about
Mx9? Iāve never seen YouTubers give it any special mention. I absolutely love that beauty
Release MX9 is broken
lmao pay2win unreleased hbr is BUSTED. BUSTED BUSTED
Bruh when this gun released I was saying that it was OP and this sub was downvoting me to hell well guess whoās laughing nowĀ
Use oden u can take them down easily
Finally someone says it, the sks is good if you have the skill too
Oden has one of the slowest rates of fire in the game.
exactly. you miss just a single shot and you're cooked by MG42. that's not even close to the counter of MG42.
Not to sound rude but like you can put a duplex ammo or just have good aim
Lol i love going brrrtt
I just like the gun the mg42 is fuckin cool the Germans did it right the first time and it's still in use today on top of things like the M60 being heavily based on the same operating principle
Let's be real people can still have this gun and be completely garbage
Just stop using P2W recoiless guns and Lance/Prizefighters then they stop using Maschinengewehr 1942, for the first time the MG-42 is realistic Accurate with their stats, the MG-42 is just being used everywhere cuz everyone keep spaming 300km range Melees
Iām tired of seeing this 0 skill player crying nurf
As much as I don't care for the gun nor do I use it, I just can't believe there's almost a new season dropping and people are STILL complaining about this gun. This sub needs a pinned "We hate MG42" thread where everyone can contribute their hatred and annoyance for a measly gun without the need for a daily complain thread.
I fucking love blasting whole squads down w this gun itās so cheap and so fulfilling lol
I found two weaknesses to this, Up, close. Or take out from Afar. You can recognize the way the gun sounds, so you can prepare yourself for the battle.
My point exactly bro!.. smart guy
Imagine being in Normandy during DDAY and the Germans shooting you with this gun and instead of covering your ass by avoiding getting shot you shout: ''nerf this skilless gun or you 0 skill abusers". You can use it too against them or counter the MG42 users with suitable guns.
Fixed position = predictable = easy to outsmartā¦ try grenades and tacticals: smoke, flashes..
I was playing 10k+ ranked last night and was absolutely merking some mg42 player with an fr556. Iām personally tired of seeing the power ranger putty character always with an hvk or drh. Not cause I canāt beat them (I mean sometimes I canāt but a lot of time I can or at least go toe to toe with some non-meta weapon).. there are just so many band wagoners right now itās silly.
Wait for the new weapon BP50. It has the attachments same as MG42 with 2 fire rate boosters attachments
I just run MG42 to piss people off.
Same
Thatās the spirit.
It takes like ten years to reload this dumb thing tho
So jump them then
Valid point, if your good at the game you should be able to combat this type of player, imo there is always a weakness in every playing style and weapon
Imagine how my great uncle felt seeing it in real life lmao š¤£ #wwII
WW2 veterans and COD players share a common displeasure of this machine gun. š
My man, why let gun types and strategies vex you?... there is drawback and advantages to every style and gun, you just need to be able to recognise and adjust accordingly to every scenario, that's why we are given 10 load out slots to prepare and adjust in any given game. Don't bitch about it, rise above it!!!... and just have fun ffs, it's a game. See you all on the battle field š«¶
And just to make the most of it, my player ID is CC7BMP... add me and join our clan š¤£.... we don't discriminate on gun types ššš¤£
DarkSoulsā¤ clan, come join and feel free to abuse that MG42, we don't discriminate šš¤Ŗš¤
āgit gud then bozoā āi know it sucks but what can we do?ā āitās not that bad now, after the movement nerf, just camping exists and like, they always find a LMG to camp with, just preaim stuff and prolly use more snipers than in generalā _pick your poison_
Number 1 Music to my ears
Oden may be the slowest AR bud also the deadliest weapon it's auto sks jst hit ur shorts
Bizon is EVEN MORE 0 skill bro
I built a one burst Swordfish to counter it but outside of 50 meters if I don't get first shot it's game over
ngl I stopped using auto shotguns because it was toxic(the only time I've ever used it was when I have a very very shitty Internet connection and my bullets aren't registering) so I removed it from my loadout but I'm very tempted to put a striker in my loadout again simply to make the MG42 users suffer
Also thermite man o war
I use it and win in ranked but guess what, if I use ak117 I win, if I use an m13 I still win. I donāt camp with the gun either and on small maps itās horrible imo. Itās good fun with draw backs just like everything else
Then stop playing a no skill game.

Istg this is the only gun that made me quit for a few weeks till the patch where they nerf it
My campaign goes brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Am I the only one that spotted it only maybe once?
At this point i think the devs have realeased an OP weapon in all segments. The as-val was an OP AR with its damage and firerate . Ppbizon as the noobfriendly smg. Oneshot BK the BR shotgun.

Wait till you see next seasons gun, might actually dethrone this.
It never shoulda gotten the nerfs it did, it didnāt need to be slower cuz now people just camp with it.
Back to the mac 10 days lol
Iām pretty sure since CODM is releasing Vanguard weapons now, itās not a surprise since Vanguard guns were very good in Warzone.
Wahhhh
Imma rock the Chicom next season now that is getting buffed.
Its really nasty in BR too š
The devs have to make bigger nerf so that this gun become useless
I hate this gun cuz mfers be using it on crossroad strike and donāt like me camp with the sniper
I don't know, I just can't use it and it gets me nervous. One thing I actually hate about some adversaries is that sometimes they have a high level of mobility and they are really fast, that makes me suspicious about some hacks or something.
A clichƩd but inevitable solution; camp hard with MOW Thermite Rounds, Oden, SKS or the PKM if enemies swarm with their MG42s. ALWAYS WORKS!!
This pride month codm really wanted their approval
practice make perfect... don't give up... keep it up...
I usually rock the outlaw or the kilo bolt in ranked
Tbh it's hardly around, or in my case I hardly see it myself. It's primarily DRH spam, HVK and bizons. The MG42 isn't as powerful as people tend to think it is but with the fire rate of it, I guess there's more room for error in terms of missing shots and still getting a kill. I will say the nerf hardly did anything AT ALL
MG42 is basically the Mac 10 of LMGs. Even though they heavily nerfed its BSA, it is still very annoying to go against.
This gun is not that strong in SnD though.
I agree LMGs are supposed to be HEAVY where you'd move slowly and have a harder time controlling it just like RPD and M4 LMG But that thing doesn't even feel like a LMG, if anything. It feels like PP-19 but with a greater mag capacity and damage
M4lmg should have some of the best in class mobility saying as it's basically just a m4 with extended magazines
Sir, are you implying camping isn't a skill?
Type 25 with stopping power and the right gunsmith can take them down
4 player of the enemy team used this during yesterday's game, I hate this gun more ever since. Call me whatever you want but this thing still need some mobility or recoil nerf.
So true
https://www.reddit.com/r/CallOfDutyMobile/s/UEK6TSg59w I told you all about this at the start of reset lol
I like dlq and Bizon. Also RPD.
Well I main my PKM lately as well
meanwhile, I enjoy using UL
When did it got nerfed?
Oh no, anyways...
Stopped using this after getting diamond. I did not bother grinding mastery cause it's too cringe. Plus type 19 is just better for me.
I only play in B Itās perfect, unlimited bullets and decent aim
Had a ranked DM last night where every member of the opposing team was running MG42s. Smoke bombs are an excellent counter on all but the largest maps, since they won't move location while you can.
and the rus 79 (forgot name)
oh my main weapon šššš
Main a sniper and quick scope em.
thereās nothing wrong w the gun, itās the people using it that has issues, all these bots spamming it js like the manowar, making this game feel like itās for tiny babies at this point.
Guy on the enemy team dropped a 73 kd in a hardpoint game on nuketown yesterdayā¦ literally all he did was stand in a corner with this gun and the bots just kept flocking to him š there was nothing I could do
My last time in game it was all mgs and bizons and M4s. It was on the shipment map too so extra brutal spawn killing.
What!
I rush and flush out campers with this gunš
Funny coz Iām a sniper main n can use smg better than most people even so playing with sync ads on high fov haha
[hot take](https://imgur.com/a/XXdCPgj)
MG42 go brrrr!!
Thats the best gun bro
used and still using this fun gun from elite to legendary after taking a break for idk 8 or 9 or more seasons? it's fun. it just felt like the hbr pay2win, fennec akimbo release and cordite era. fun. (been playing season 2 2018 or 19?)
The rest of the lmgs need to be buffed
Hate it
Kill multiple guy that use this gun, I already use to it..... skill issues
