The modified WWII machinegun equipped to deal with vehicles and armor that weren't around in Hitler's days. Learning how many shots the different body areas the various enemies can take would help the user become more efficient at knowing how many to lay into an enemy before moving or changing targets. What the MG42 lacks in overall shot power and damage, it compensates with the obscene amount of lead you can throw down range.
When fired from the hip, the MG42 has a notably low recoil and accuracy bloom, making it a good 'shoot and scoot' weapon. As the weapon has two mod slots, and only two kinds of mods available, it is optimal to fit both. The weapon can be fitted with one of several optical sights as well, including a Reflex, Red Dot, Optical, or Marksman sight.
The extended magazine upgrade doubles the magazine size from 100 rounds to 200, effectively doubling the amount of 'buzzing' through enemies you can potentially do in one load of ammunition. The MG42 is unlocked after completing the mission Payback, and can be fitted with two attachments. As with its real-world counterpart, the MG42 features a notably high rate of fire, being able to put several hundred rounds down-range in a few moments. The MG42 first appears in Far Cry 4 in Kyrat.
A relic from WWII, this German machinegun has such a high-rate of fire that it shreds enemy soldiers and has earned the nickname: Hitler's Buzzsaw.
