Tactics[]

As in the previous games, it is capable of mowing down wave after wave of zombies with ease, thanks to a massive magazine, high RoF[1] and good damage per shot. However, once its magazine is inevitably emptied, it takes a very long time to be reloaded, leaving its wielder vulnerable to attacks. It would be wise to keep a survivor or two nearby to provide protection during this period, as well as ensuring it's always fully loaded by reloading between zombie attacks.

It is wise to give it to a Fighter, as the specialization will help improve the admittedly poor accuracy.
