    Before you throw rocks at me for using such a terrible weapon, listen: the Heavy Machinegun has very slightly worse DPS than the SPL (HMG: 1.40 VS SPL: 1.46 ) and despite the terrible range, it doesn't heat up, which makes them a nice addition for a build using stealth armor. Unless you are building heat while running, you can shoot your lasers until you are close to overheat and then keep on hammering with your HMGs without ever turning off stealth, which means you can't be spotted by a UAV or by your victim via the "spotted" option in the radial menu. EVER.

    Also, the normal small lasers generates less heat compared to the small pulses (1.5 VS 1.7) for a tiny increase in damage (3.5 VS 3.25), so why waste 2 more tons to upgrade your lasers to pulse if you are going to heat up quicker and have worse damage/heat ratio? With that said, IMHO the bonus at laser duration is not worth it since you can't cool yourselves in the middle of an engagement... Unless you use a coolrun, but then you will be screwed when you run out of them.

    You should play this build like any "leg eater" light, prioritizing those left behind or alone. You aim at the heavies / assults / fatties legs and slowly chew them.

    And if you are guessing how I chose the name for this build, yes: you probably guessed it right if everytime you read Heavy Machinegun you read it with this voice

    ALT: +0.5 HMG ammo, but no more armor on arms and head
