Best benefits MG42
Our three favorite benefits to use with the MG42 are:
- Advantage 1: fortified
- Advantage 2: Insightful vision
- Advantage 3: Lightweight
Fortified is great for this loadout as it doubles damage reduction when a player is mounted, crouched, or prone. Piercing Vision brings out the suppressed players, which is the specialty of the MG42. Finally, the light weight increases the speed of movement, which will help compensate for the dragging of the heavy MG42 around.
