It’s defined by an extreme fire rate, shredding enemies with a constant storm of bullets. While its per-shot damage is modest, its sheer output makes it one of the most feared mid-to-late game crowd control weapons in DEAD.<br /> <br /> == Beast Upgrades ==<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Spintastic&#039;&#039;&#039; – Faster fire rate and bigger magazine. <br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Whirl of War&#039;&#039;&#039; – Adds even more sustain, with reduced reload downtime. <br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Meat Grinder 3000&#039;&#039;&#039; – Final form; absurd rate of fire that melts enemies into paste. <br /> <br /> == Tips ==<br /> * Best used for horde clearing — accuracy isn’t the point. <br /> * Short reload cycle makes it easier to keep pressure compared to other LMGs. <br /> * Pair with an accurate weapon for bosses or elites. <br /> <br /> == Trivia ==<br /> * Originally given the MG42’s real nickname, “Hitler’s Buzzsaw,” but changed to fit DEAD’s humour... for obvious reasons.</div>
