Demolition HMG

The Demolition HMG is a heavy machine gun chambered in Heavy Rounds, positioned as the hardest-hitting sustained-fire weapon in the machine gun class. With 31.5 damage per shot at 225 RPM, it trades fire rate for exceptional per-shot power, giving it the lowest RPM among machine guns but a damage output that demands respect. The 20-round magazine is compact for an HMG, keeping the weapon manageable without letting runners spray carelessly. Effective range is 33 meters and accuracy sits at 47.4%, making it a mid-range suppression tool rather than a long-range option. The 1.5x precision multiplier is the highest in the machine gun category, rewarding precise headshots with significant lethality bonuses.

The Demolition HMG's DPS of 118.5 is achieved through heavy individual hits rather than volume, which means it punishes heavily armored and shielded targets disproportionately compared to lighter alternatives. Handling sits at 31, one of the lower values in the game, reflecting the weapon's heavy frame and deliberate character. Recoil at 57.5% is moderate given the low fire rate. Reload time is a lengthy 5.46 seconds with a slow equip speed of 1.2 seconds, demanding that runners plan their engagement timing carefully and ideally switch to a secondary before the mag runs dry. Aim assist of 1.78 is solid and helps compensate for the handling penalty. The weapon uses full-auto hitscan detection, ensuring reliable hit registration. The Demolition HMG rewards runners who establish strong defensive positions, hold corridors at medium range, and want maximum damage per trigger pull rather than sustained volume fire. Heavy Rounds are shared with weapons like the Bully SMG and Impact HAR, making multi-heavy-round loadouts a viable configuration.
