Some fun facts about the FG-42: It was designed for use by German paratrooper units called Fallschirmjager, hence Fallschirmjagergewehr 42 (paratrooper rifle 42). It was more or less intended as a universal weapon that would fill the roles of both an infantry rifle and light machine gun. The Luftwaffe required that it have a bayonet, but the designers, like you, thought it would be unnecessary, so the bayonet they used was just a small spike largely copied from the French MAS-36 rifle, that fit the minimum requirements set for the gun. Sort of an interesting parallel between real life and BF5 I thought I'd share.
I can't wait until a bipod fix rolls out. MMG's are already my favourite guns to play with, and I expect the MG 42 to be even more deadly once I can reliable deploy the bipod
ive only got the 34 and its an absolute animal, i easily get over 20 kills a game just by using this and im not really the good with it....it just shreads....but you are right, the bipod is glitchy (bipods have always been like this in BF games in my opinion) but also annoying is the issue where there appears to be nothing in front of you but your bullets are hitting the ground, its so annoying and has got me killed so many times
I Like the MMGs I'm on level 10 with the MG 34 and also on level 19 on Support Class. So i should unlock the MG 42 today. It's a pity you can only use the MMGs with a bi pod and they don't work half of the time. Also shooting the window sill or the ground when the bi pod does deploy is really annoying! Plus a zoom lense or hip fire specialisation would be nice for these weapons too. So you're not as vulnerable when you use them.
Bit late to the party but if you are having trouble with the MG42 at range then try doing bursts just squeeze 3-5 shots and wait a pinch in between them I have had a lot of success doing that
The bren is quite a good medium-longrange option when equipped with a scope, the steady rate of fire and good tap fire capability makes it suprisingly nice to use (basically you can treat as an mmg)
I'm planning to get it actually, just not now, gameplay looks amazing and solid so, just waiting for more stuff to do, aka more guns and locations to fight in
You should try the Bren with the 3x scope. Fixes the visibility problem and the slower rate of fire makes the 30 bullets magazine perfect for multi kills. I love the FG 42 but you’re usually quite at a disadvantage against multiple close range targets..
3 Views? Ayyyy that timing tho. Jack, loving the videos lately, wouldn't mind just seeing some chill footage of you playing, even if it's not a tips and tricks video, it's just enjoyable to watch regardless.
The Bren gun is really nice with a 3x scope, as it's accurate by default, there's a nice specialization path that heavily favours stationary accuracy as well as improved bipod, and having the top-fed mag doesn't matter for visibility purposes when you're looking through the scope
@rabeh el houjeiri arguably the smg class needs a buff. But for me sten is good for its accuracy and its ability to pick off targets at longer ranges because I do it often!
@@nikolasbogoguenther4878 I know exactly how you feel... on this matter. Yeah it happens to me so often that I cannot kill my prey, because they run away with 3hp left while I have to reload or they kill me instead. In some of my recent matches I was absolutely frustrated, because I lost almot all of my 1v1 because of this. I think it is also weird that the opponents can survive multiple headshots + regular hits. DICE has to tweak this a little.
I really love the Lewis this time around. However, I go with the bigger mag. Having almost a hundred rounds makes it great for suppression and holding down positions. You can shut down approaches in a lot of maps.
I feel like mmg are a bit redundant with the supression mechanic removed. Snipers have an easy time headshotting you and there is nothing you can do about it.
Kar Lead yeah flich or scope sway, no increased spread like in Bf1. But they shouldnt be able to just not react to someone friring 16 bullets a second at them
I thought so too. But once you drastically change your Playstyle it can be the most satisfying weapons class in the game I've had multiple matches on devastation where I got 55+ kills with the mg34, it's so fun honestly
I guess. But i think that snipers should rule the long range fights, and be able to pick unaware machine gunners. Saying so, i think that in the medium range, the machine gun fire should kill a sniper, so i propose a slower aiming time while being shot at with the mmg.
@@claymeistereu I agree.. with the unaware part. But when I start shooting at a sniper thats unaware of me and they just snap my head off its more than a little frustrating
When i was in the army, i was an LMG shooter. And our weapons was the MG42, its still in service in some departments in the danish army. And the 1200 rate of fire is the actually rate of fire on them :) It is impossible to burst less then 2-3 shots :D it comes with an extra barrel, and you change it by hitting the right side of the barrel incasement, and the barrel pops out, your helper then graps it with a speciel heatresitant "glove" and replace with a cool barrel, ready for 4-500 shot more ... In the ammo belts, every 5 round is a tracer round, so it can make quite the light show when its dark outside. Love this gun!
Great guide Jack, since Battlefield Vietnam my "go to" class has always been Support. Loving the Lewis with medium range scope and high velocity rounds in Battlefield V. I've almost unlocked the FG42, but really looking forward to getting my hands on the MG42. A bit disappointed with the gadgets, a mortar would have been nice - maybe in a future update?

Jackfrags I did find the increased rate of fire for the MG42 to be very useful with the incendiary rounds to shoot down planes. It helps you keep up with the planes speed and get some good hits. It’s a shame you can’t get the big belt as well with these two
This is the one class I have neglected to use. I am working on leveling it up this weekend. I want my MG-42. Already using the MG-34 and loving it. KE7 is good but it's so good it feels like cheating.
well, in my case, it was the mmg's that were adjusting to me, not the opposite. I had never tested those before and they fit perfectly to my style of play. thanks for the guide, great content !
For the MG 34, if you're the type to set that baby up and hold a location, and not run and gun as much as Jack does, go down the right side instead of the left. The better weapons cooling and the faster reloading magazine (that also gets 25 more rounds) are the most important upgrades to note. You'll be able to keep actively holding the position with as little downtime as possible, to reload or cool the weapon. Plus, I'd not opt for the faster fire rate, in this case. It's already more than capable of killing faster than any gun that tries to challenge it with bipod set up. If you pick it, you just unnecessarily chew through ammo faster.
I use the Bren 70% the time I play Support. Once you get past the magazine visibility issue its laser accurate and has very controllable recoil when standing (if you specializing with the decreased vertical recoil). I like using it in longer range combat maps like Twisted Steel or Hamada. But to each their own.
lol i actually maxed out the bren gun, and got the gold plated set for it :p got gold plated set for medic mp 40 and assault m1a1 carbine... prob not the most popular weapons but just what i liked.. the bren gun though is kinda annoying to use.

Eenmies stand out much less in BFV than BF1. DICE did that on purpose. It also means that if you stand still, most people wont notice you as easily. unfortunately, this encourages camping sooo.... not a major fan
@@avaliantsoul5408 makes sense, because I'm always trying to pay attention to where and what I'm doing and for example I stare at some corners for 5 seconds, I move forward someone was actually standing there.... I hate it
@@simplyPANDA787 yep. btw, the Axis usually blends in better. especially the default skins. I have the 8special skins and they stick out horribly, but oh well, they look dope :)
The ones currently on offer are arguably more so GPMGs (General Purpose), but it's kind of a grey area and the Browning 1919 (Definitely an MMG) has been datamined so I guess for simplicity it's better for them to fit under one category.
One of my favorite aspects of the KE7 is the sound design of rounds firing. You can hear that scratchy metal sound as it pops rounds off. Fantastic sound design
I really wish the reflex sight wasnt tinted at all, like the Nydar sight. I still find it hard to use, compared to the Nydar, and often choose iron sights over it, simply because visibility thorugh it is difficult
Almost all I’ve played since release is support, Lewis gun is by far my favourite out of the LMG’s. It’s an animal at close and medium range especially with the 3x scope and extended mags
Lewis gun is perfect in all scenarios. It seems when you put a scope on any weapon other than carbines and snipers the weapon becomes inaccurate but the Lewis gun is a monster.
Gunners Game Because it kinda deserves it, I mean the game isn’t finished, some of it is locked and it’s got a bunch of pussy politics behind it, the game will be better in a few months when they release the full experience
I enjoy the KE7 but it's overpowered in my opinion. The reason why I say that is because it's an assault rife with a bipod. If we combine that plus unlimited ammo (by resupplying) and a skilled player it's a monster. Yes I had good games with it here and there but they need to nerf it or remove the bipod(in my opinion).
I believe our games are somehow different.. I couldn't wait to get rid of the KE7. I almost feel unarmed if I come across more than one enemy with it. Or someone outside of 25m. The recoil and damage is unbearable. Aside from the gewehr 43, the Lewis gun is my favorite. It's a monster compared to the KE7.
@Pig in shit I'm glad you have good luck with it, it's just a hitmarker machine for me. Seems like 5-7 shots per kill and the accuracy is horrible. The lewis and bren are far better in my own experience. Just like that m1a1 carbine. Jack destroys with it, mine is absolute trash. Also taking 5-7, sometimes more at medium range. The gewehr 43 is the beast.
One of the specializations should be a tripod to allow you to use the bipob when crouched by just setting it up on the ground. But maybe you could only hip fire when bipoded like this with a little bit of a accuracy penalty over bipoding it normally, it would really make mmgs more useful.
Yeah been struggling with the "kills while attacking an objective one" rock up to objectives and no ones there to kill then as soon as it flips and they show up to stop you the kills don't count anymore.
@@User-gx3sr Yeah did the 20 hs for the turner smle on that map. The m1a1 seems to be a lot harder you need 3 headshots for a kill and for some reason like 50% of the time it only counts as a normal kill when i go for them. I dont know whats up it might be me might be a bug.
@@peterwatson2830 Lol ikr ! Snipers getting sprayed by 1200 7.62 rounds and still being able to take their time and shot you in the head with out even flinching its RETARDED AF !
I've gotta say, I've never been excited for unlocking so many weapons in a battlefield game! In all the previous games there where only one or two guns I really wanted but in this one I want almost all of them because they seem so much fun and quite different :)
I think if DICE made the MG42 a 100 round belt by default, the increased rate of fire upgrade would be much more viable without diminishing the value of the extended belt upgrade.
m1a1, suomi (semi auto taps decent 15-20m with headshots(next patch they are upgrading drop off rate for smg dmg to 25m I believe up from 20m), thompson, lewis gun, m1907. Mostly my favorites at this moment.
Finally the support is getting some serious love, machine guns finally playing the way they should, never felt at a disadvantage playing support in BFV like I've felt in other titles.

I actually like the FG42's bayonet. Especially with that small magazine. It saved my life numerous times in CQB. Enemy was reloading, so was I. So I just charged at him and spiked him up. :D
Nikita Krylov it does. I’m currently using the left side of the skill tree because I’m so addicted to the 1200 rate of fire but I really want the 250 rounds.
If you mean shredding like shooting down aircraft like in bf1 then unfortunately your in for a bit of a disappointment. Mg42 is an absolutely fantastic gun to use but the incendiary ammo doesn't really do that much to aircraft. I sort of gave up because the pilots know to swoop low after you start firing at them and if they are over a certain angle you can't fire at them with any accuracy. I'm sure it will be fixed.
FG-42 is my shit. Currently working to get full gold plate, only got two parts left. On a different note the epic grear for support looks awesome. The Axis Hades outfit is particularly badass.

Would you guys say this is an incomplete game? Because we all know more maps and guns are coming but would it be best to wait for all of that to drop then buy this?
The game is fantastic. Youre doing yourself a disservice by not trying it out imo. Sure more content would be great, but whats already there is very good imo
MG42 works suprisingly well as an all rounder. Using it highly aggressive and placing down on vantage points is really brutal and flanking with it can recreate a sideways D-day in Grand Ops.
How on earth does the way they "treat their customers" have an effect on whether you enjoy a game or not? It's not like you're buying bread from the local baker...

If I am a fan of a product and want to have a professional Conversation with the creator and listen to me as a consumer I would want them to here me out instead of brushing me off, and calling me stuff I am not and siding with people (sjws) that don’t even play their games.
“What’s not to like about the ke7” the fact that it is the only gun that ever kills me in bfv and that people who use the support class choose only to use the ke7 instead of any other mg.
For the mg 34 I like to run the chrome lining and drum mags because those two upgrades synergize and you won’t ever over heat while firing until about the last 5 rounds

@@avaliantsoul5408 makes sense, because I'm always trying to pay attention to where and what I'm doing and for example I stare at some corners for 5 seconds, I move forward someone was actually standing there.... I hate it
@@simplyPANDA787 yep. btw, the Axis usually blends in better. especially the default skins. I have the 8special skins and they stick out horribly, but oh well, they look dope :)
xPuertoxRicox01 Plays I have the exact same issue when I play on Xbox one
@@ryants1 🤦♂️ is shit hole man
The Lewis Gun is what I’ll be using permanently in all honesty . It’s so versatile . Even close range hip fire is pretty reliable
I always thought MMG meant "Mounted machine gun" guess you learn something new every day
The ones currently on offer are arguably more so GPMGs (General Purpose), but it's kind of a grey area and the Browning 1919 (Definitely an MMG) has been datamined so I guess for simplicity it's better for them to fit under one category.
It's massive machine gun
One of my favorite aspects of the KE7 is the sound design of rounds firing. You can hear that scratchy metal sound as it pops rounds off. Fantastic sound design
I really wish the reflex sight wasnt tinted at all, like the Nydar sight. I still find it hard to use, compared to the Nydar, and often choose iron sights over it, simply because visibility thorugh it is difficult
Almost all I’ve played since release is support, Lewis gun is by far my favourite out of the LMG’s. It’s an animal at close and medium range especially with the 3x scope and extended mags
Thank you for not only using the KE7 :)
you should remake these for the new players
Lewis gun is perfect in all scenarios. It seems when you put a scope on any weapon other than carbines and snipers the weapon becomes inaccurate but the Lewis gun is a monster.
Why this game is so much underrated.
Gunners Game Because it kinda deserves it, I mean the game isn’t finished, some of it is locked and it’s got a bunch of pussy politics behind it, the game will be better in a few months when they release the full experience
@@kajjeekanalenfan72 Basically, the same as bf4.... I predict a good future for this game
DXT0anto Me too, basically just gotta wait for it to get good, not giving them a full price for an unfinished game
@@T0anto sorry but, no because
it's ded
@@leadpiperI know, I know
And I've been sad about it already :/
I enjoy the KE7 but it's overpowered in my opinion. The reason why I say that is because it's an assault rife with a bipod. If we combine that plus unlimited ammo (by resupplying) and a skilled player it's a monster. Yes I had good games with it here and there but they need to nerf it or remove the bipod(in my opinion).
Tbh I'm weird I'm doing really well with the bren. Just seems to handle well to my style
Same
the bren is very accurate in fullauto. i like it too, but i don't use it cause i like to see the actual game, not a magazine :D
Agreed support is the most fun and mist variety class. Ke7 is my least played weapon. Love Adolfs buzzsaw and shotfuns:)
I believe our games are somehow different.. I couldn't wait to get rid of the KE7. I almost feel unarmed if I come across more than one enemy with it. Or someone outside of 25m. The recoil and damage is unbearable. Aside from the gewehr 43, the Lewis gun is my favorite. It's a monster compared to the KE7.
@Pig in shit I'm glad you have good luck with it, it's just a hitmarker machine for me. Seems like 5-7 shots per kill and the accuracy is horrible. The lewis and bren are far better in my own experience.
Just like that m1a1 carbine. Jack destroys with it, mine is absolute trash. Also taking 5-7, sometimes more at medium range. The gewehr 43 is the beast.
One of the specializations should be a tripod to allow you to use the bipob when crouched by just setting it up on the ground. But maybe you could only hip fire when bipoded like this with a little bit of a accuracy penalty over bipoding it normally, it would really make mmgs more useful.
@Lorenzo Spitaleri the perino 1908 defensive in bf1 had a tripod and it wasnt all that large.
It’s so weird to see a reflex sight on the Lewis.
It’s honestly really fun to find some fortifications overlooking an objective and just setting up an MG nest.
MG42=BRRRRRRRRT
3x sight on the Lewis is terrible now. They added a bar on the ammo drum which blocks off some visibility when aiming down the scope.
Stuck on the 20 headshot kills in objective areas for the M1A1 carbine.....
Same chief
Just play inside the cathedral on devastation on breakthrough or grand operations, should be doable.
Yeah been struggling with the "kills while attacking an objective one" rock up to objectives and no ones there to kill then as soon as it flips and they show up to stop you the kills don't count anymore.
@@User-gx3sr Yeah did the 20 hs for the turner smle on that map. The m1a1 seems to be a lot harder you need 3 headshots for a kill and for some reason like 50% of the time it only counts as a normal kill when i go for them. I dont know whats up it might be me might be a bug.
Really ? Wen i get killed by it feels like a 1-2 headshots kill
I recently got 98-12 on Hamada with the MG-34 using all left-hand stats. My favorite is still the MG42 because "buzzsaw".
Got the mg 42 and wow what beast!!
And aren't those snipers just great...
@@peterwatson2830
Lol ikr ! Snipers getting sprayed by 1200 7.62 rounds and still being able to take their time and shot you in the head with out even flinching its RETARDED AF !
It’s kinda all over the place but I’m going to try the 1200 version just to hear it.
@@vegadog30 brrrrrrrt
I'm in love with the M30 Drilling !
Can't wait for that ke7 nerf. Scrubs better use it as long as they can this week >:)
I've gotta say, I've never been excited for unlocking so many weapons in a battlefield game! In all the previous games there where only one or two guns I really wanted but in this one I want almost all of them because they seem so much fun and quite different :)
Im really loving this game, but i feel like if it was slowed down a little it would be way better
I think if DICE made the MG42 a 100 round belt by default, the increased rate of fire upgrade would be much more viable without diminishing the value of the extended belt upgrade.
Really struggling to find my class and gun so far. Was mainly assault in bf1.
Justin Pullin try the mp40 in domination. I was struggling until I started using this weapon.
m1a1, suomi (semi auto taps decent 15-20m with headshots(next patch they are upgrading drop off rate for smg dmg to 25m I believe up from 20m), thompson, lewis gun, m1907. Mostly my favorites at this moment.
starting assault gun is pretty good
Justin Pullin Ahhhh.... you were that pussy with 50 service stars with the hellriegel
I hipfired a Stuka with the MG42, equipped with the higher rate of fire and incendiary rounds. That was my favourite Battlefield V moment so far.
Some specializations trees are changed with new update.
Finally the support is getting some serious love, machine guns finally playing the way they should, never felt at a disadvantage playing support in BFV like I've felt in other titles.

This is the map rotation for now, this may change after the December update.
Went 66-6 in Devastation with the MG42 its a beast, get the 250rnd belt and the overheating reduction you can put up a wall of lead on the C objective
They should put Bren as the starting Support gun.
preach
Obviously they should put the m30 drilling as the starting weapon lel
For the mg42 I went with 1200 rpm for the memes, it does not disappoint. Just melts people
Why use any other gun when you have a MG42 with 200 rounds
250
Play style, map layout ?
Because the mg42 is a lvl 20 gun?
Because you cant aim with it if you hate camping?
I actually like the FG42's bayonet. Especially with that small magazine. It saved my life numerous times in CQB. Enemy was reloading, so was I. So I just charged at him and spiked him up. :D
I bet the mg42 shreds through aircraft though with that perk
Nikita Krylov it does. I’m currently using the left side of the skill tree because I’m so addicted to the 1200 rate of fire but I really want the 250 rounds.
If you mean shredding like shooting down aircraft like in bf1 then unfortunately your in for a bit of a disappointment. Mg42 is an absolutely fantastic gun to use but the incendiary ammo doesn't really do that much to aircraft. I sort of gave up because the pilots know to swoop low after you start firing at them and if they are over a certain angle you can't fire at them with any accuracy. I'm sure it will be fixed.
McCready 747 I don’t know about you but I can shred plains quickly with it
FG-42 is my shit. Currently working to get full gold plate, only got two parts left. On a different note the epic grear for support looks awesome. The Axis Hades outfit is particularly badass.
How do you have 11 k company coin even after you've upgraded so many guns
Jerome Thompson Play time, assignments & levelling. I’m injured & all I’ve been doing is playing this game. I have 22k & I’ve upgraded a lot of weapons.
Connections, baby. Jack got that DICE juice
@@scootmgootc814 what assignments? I went through all the ones that gave coins, now i only unlock clothes and xp from assignments. How do i get more coins?
@@Teletubees1 from what i have seen, the last Prof and Mastery challenges for the Weapons give you CCs as well as the weapon part.
Another great tutorial video Jack, well done! I’ve definitely been enjoying the KE7 so far. Trying to master the MG’s is definitely been a challenge!
Puts 6x scope on shotgun
am i the only one who enjoy your videos? :D
15 days until i see you guys on battlefield..
I thought the BAR would be in this game
It is in the game
scp 096 thanks, I meant b4 it was announced Ps4 or xbox trying to play with someone tired of playing alone , leave ya name tags that way we play together🕹
KE-7 is my go-to, but I LOVE the M30 drilling, absolutely a joy to use
Still using that horrible reflex sight I see. No iron sights....very weak jack.
Eli Nelson yes. I remember, that was pathetic. Lol.
They were available...
REAL MEN USE DEFAULT IRON SIGHTS
My favourites are the MG42, FG42 and then the Bren for longer range maps. Love the support class, they've been my favourite since BF3 🤘
The ke7 is a glitch gun it needs to be nerfed
The Bren gun is great jack, it barely has any spread compared to the lewis gun but you have to use the 3x so you don't see the magasine, it lasers people at range!
How dare u diss the bayonet on the fg42 lol
Ikr??? No one expects a bayonet charge from a support XD
@@fenfrostpaws2000 i dont expect it from anyone. In my 80 hours lf Battlefield V, i have had 2 people try to bayonet charge and both times i dropped them with my Thompson.
I confess I have actually glossed over the KE7 on rout to the Bren.
I'm in the process of ranking up all my overlooked weapons at the moment.
Next stop, KE7 for sure🤔☺️
reflex sight on infantry weapons in WWII..
They were available.
Matthew Weston ...to an engineer testing it for bird hunting.
4:39
[Taking faster firing rate over extended mag for the Auto-5]
To borrow a British colloquialism: "u wot m8? U avin' a giggle?"
Would you guys say this is an incomplete game? Because we all know more maps and guns are coming but would it be best to wait for all of that to drop then buy this?
Wait until the 4th of the next month so DICE fix the mayor issues
The game is fantastic. Youre doing yourself a disservice by not trying it out imo. Sure more content would be great, but whats already there is very good imo
I will wait till March when the BR-mode comes out and more maps. Furrhermore the game will be much cheaper and more stable.
I love it, really cant wait for the December 4th update
you could argue that most games are "incomplete." as long as future content is being made it's technically not finished.
The Ke7 is great with the added ROF, if you don’t have that you find yourself running outta mag real quick
You are great sir... Like here all.. If you are not bot..
The Bren I think is the best gun!! Fully pimped out, don't care if a gold shiny mag is covering half screen.. It's so good with the right sight...
BF4 plz
MG42 works suprisingly well as an all rounder. Using it highly aggressive and placing down on vantage points is really brutal and flanking with it can recreate a sideways D-day in Grand Ops.
KE7 REEEEEEEEEEEE
That first ten seconds. Wow. Now THAT is Battlefield.
game looks fun but still not buying it. they need to change how they treat their customers
How on earth does the way they "treat their customers" have an effect on whether you enjoy a game or not? It's not like you're buying bread from the local baker...
Ethan [][] u may see it to be lame but I have standers. If I am a fan of a product and want to have a professional Conversation with the creator and listen to me as a consumer I would want them to here me out instead of brushing me off, and calling me stuff I am not and siding with people (sjws) that don’t even play their games.
Then tf are you doing in the here
You must be fun at parties.
@@bull-sama6369 You people have some some very severe victim complex, DICE doesn't owe you shit so quit acting so fucking entitled.
Bro...you are so quick. Wished I could do that on ps4. Sadly my pc gaming days are over.
6:00 I love this clip of you sniping with the Lewis gun, because whenever I use it I have Stormtrooper aim lol
“What’s not to like about the ke7” the fact that it is the only gun that ever kills me in bfv and that people who use the support class choose only to use the ke7 instead of any other mg.
The bren is by far my favorite! Love the reload animation and it's mega accurate with the 3x zoom. Scope
For the mg 34 I like to run the chrome lining and drum mags because those two upgrades synergize and you won’t ever over heat while firing until about the last 5 rounds
