The GPMG-7 is a fast-firing LMG you’ll earn fairly late inBlack Ops 6’sprogression system. It’s top of its class in terms of raw fire rate, but it has a small magazine size, poor damage per bullet, and a sizable amount of recoil that you’ll need to fix with attachments.

Once you do, the GPMG-7 turns into a powerhouse of a weapon. You can lock down rooms, hallways, and critical objectives with an unrelenting hailstorm of lead. It’s a great weapon to use if you prefer to anchor near objectives, especially if you use the build we’ll be showing you today.

To improve the anchor-heavy playstyle LMGs promote, we’re going to use anExtended Mag IIattachment to increase the weapon’s magazine size to 100 rounds, doubling the number of bullets you have between reloads. AQuickdraw Gripis nice for improving the gun’s sluggish ADS speed. Complete the build withyour favorite optic.
