The M250 LMG is a workhorse for players who want sustained fire and long-range presence without sacrificing too much control. With the right attachments this gun shines at medium to long ranges and becomes a suppressing nightmare for enemies holding chokepoints.

Below is a tested loadout that emphasizes bullet velocity, accuracy under sustained fire, and stealthy long-range engagements.

Recommended Attachments (mastery levels shown where applicable)

These are the attachments you provided and that the community testing also favors. Source references confirm this configuration is widely recommended.

Barrel — 556MM PROTOTYPE (Level 3)

Barrel — 556MM PROTOTYPE (Level 3)


Improves bullet velocity and long-range stability, making sustained fire more effective at distance.

Underbarrel — LOW-PROFILE STUBBY (Level 39)

Underbarrel — LOW-PROFILE STUBBY (Level 39)

Reduces recoil and keeps ADS slower penalties low compared to heavier grips, preserving mobility while stabilizing bursts.

Ammunition — FMJ (Level 5)

Ammunition — FMJ (Level 5)

Better penetration through light cover and more consistent damage when enemies use objects for partial cover.

Muzzle — LONG SUPPRESSOR (Level 32)

Muzzle — LONG SUPPRESSOR (Level 32)

Keeps you off the minimap for flanks and long-range positioning while still pairing well with the prototype barrel for velocity.

Magazine — 50RND BELT POUCH (Level 5)

Magazine — 50RND BELT POUCH (Level 5)

More rounds for sustained suppression and extended pushes without frequent reloads. Ideal for objective defense or area denial.

Scope — BAKER 3.00X (Level 2)

Scope — BAKER 3.00X (Level 2)

A clean mid-range optic that helps the M250 reach its effective engagement envelope while still allowing target tracking. Community builds commonly use the Baker 3.00X for long sightlines.

How This Build Performs

  • Best at: Medium to long range suppression and holding sightlines. The barrel + FMJ combo helps you land hits on moving targets across open terrain.
  • TTK and sustain: The LMG class trades mobility for a steady TTK under sustained fire. With a 50-round pouch you can suppress or finish multiple targets before reloading.
  • Recoil profile: With the Low-Profile Stubby and the M250’s inherent handling, recoil is manageable for players who practice short controlled bursts.

Recommended Playstyle

  • Role: Support
  • Range: Set up at medium to long sightlines and use natural cover. The Baker 3.00X gives you comfortable zoom for 30–80 meter fights.
  • Movement: Use mounted positions or slow advances behind teammates. The M250 excels when you can control a lane and force enemy repositioning.

Pro Tips

  • Burst discipline: Use short 3–6 round bursts when targets are moving at long range to maximize hit probability.
  • Suppressor trade-off: The long suppressor helps stealth but can slightly reduce audible range. If you need maximum raw range without stealth, swap for a compensator variant in aggressive pushes.
  • Positioning: Occupy elevated or fortified positions where the 50RND pouch can be fully leveraged to stop multiple pushes without reloading.

Why This Build Is Relevant in Week 2 Meta

Patch tuning in Week 2 favored weapons that pair high bullet velocity with controlled recoil. The M250’s prototype barrel and balanced grip make it an LMG that can compete with marksman-style rifles on long sightlines while retaining the sustained fire advantage of LMGs. Community resources and loadout aggregators show this M250 configuration consistently among top LMG picks for long-range maps.
