Stalcraft Wiki: MG 3

Expert Opinion

Pro Tip

"The MG 3 is a high-speed machine gun that delivers a staggering 1200 RPM, the highest fire rate in its category. This extreme volume of fire is balanced by extreme recoil, making the weapon very difficult to keep on target despite the lack of recoil buildup. It is highly effective at suppressing healing when paired with incendiary ammunition, as the sheer number of hits ensures debuffs are constantly refreshed. It is an elite, high-skill weapon for players who can manage its violent handling to overwhelm opponents at close-to-mid range."

I've played Stalcraft for over 8,000 hours on the NA server, mostly in high-tier competitive subdivisions. During that time, I spent a lot of my own time figuring out how to get the most out of my gear. I used my background in software engineering to build Stalcraft Meta, turning those calculations into tools others can use. You can find me on Reddit, YouTube, Twitch, or the official Discord (milkdud.).
