Players should have no problem getting from Point A to Point B with the UGM-8. It won't slow them down too much compared to the other light machine guns found in COD: Vanguard.

With that mobility, the UGM-8 can be treated just as if it were a large assault rifle. The weapon can beam opponents from long range and will have no problem wiping out a group of enemies with the right attachments.

Here are the attachments to place on the UGM-8:

• Muzzle: Recoil Booster
• Barrel: Bernard XL214 736mm
• Optic: Slate Reflector
• Stock: Bernard Forte VII
• Underbarrel: M1941 Hand Stop
• Magazine: 6.5mm Sakura 125 Round Box
• Ammo Type: Lengthened
• Rear Grip: Fabric Grip
• Proficiency: Tight Grip
• Kit: Fully Loaded

Recoil control has always been an issue in modern Call of Duty games. Some weapons have awful accuracy, while others have no problem picking off enemies with pinpoint precision.

The UGM-8 falls somewhere in the middle, but as a larger weapon, it is best to remove as much recoil as possible. Vanguard players can keep it steady with the Tight Grip, Bernard Forte VII and M1941 Hand Stop.

The Fabric Grip attachment also helps with recoil control and provides the added benefit of mobility. It lets players move quicker with the LMG and aim down the sights with hardly any delay.

As a light machine gun, players expect the UGM-8 to have a high fire rate. It isn't bad, but it could definitely use some work. That's where the Bernard XL214 736mm barrel and the Recoil Booster muzzle come into play.

Both attachments increase the fire rate of the gun. This allows eliminations to come much quicker. This is especially true when paired with the Slate Reflector, one of the best optics in Vanguard.

Everything else focuses on the ammunition in this Vanguard light machine gun. Lengthened ammo gives the weapon higher damage at longer distances, and the 6.5mm Sakura rounds ensure that players won't have to reload in a fight.

Lastly, the Fully Loaded kit attachment puts an entire reserve of ammunition in the weapon the minute the player spawns. This gives it the capacity to take out a ton of opponents without having to worry about ammo whatsoever.
