LMGs

Light machine guns in BO7 Endgame are high-capacity weapons built for sustained fire. They sacrifice mobility compared to other classes but compensate with large magazine sizes and access to bonuses like Hip-Inferno and Free Fire that reward continuous fire without reloading. The Sokol 545 is one of the most discussed LMGs, with a named exotic version called the Hypersurge carrying the Shock affinity.
