History of Machine Gun

Overview

A machine gun is a heavy weapon that fires sustained automatic bursts and carries a large magazine. In Destiny 2, machine guns use heavy ammunition. They are effective for clearing groups of enemies and applying sustained damage, though they generally spend heavy ammo less efficiently against bosses than burst-damage heavy weapons.

Use

Machine guns are often chosen when a loadout needs reliable add clear or a weapon that can engage many targets without frequent reloads. Archetype, range, perks, and sandbox tuning affect their role.
