Light Squad Weapon is a heavy machine gun in Wasteland 3.

Description

A powerful European design that handles as easily as a much smaller weapon.

Characteristics

Damage can be increased from various bonuses. However, it is not recommended to waste high-tier mods on this weapon, due to low damage output. Especially not recommended to use rare and expensive damage type conversion mods.

Physical damage maximization example +8 Damage from Titanium-Cobalt Barrel +8 Damage from Toxic Linkage or Crippling Linkage or Razor Linkage +33% Ranged damage from Sadomasochist quirk at the cost of +33% Received damage +35% Ranged damage from Awareness at level 10 +25% Ranged damage from Threat Intelligence helmet modification at the cost of -6 Armor Applying all bonuses (+16 Damage +93% Ranged damage) leads to the following result: 67 - 81 x9 (603 - 729) damage in weapon stats. The damage dealt to targets will depend on the armor they are wearing and the armor penetration rate on your character.
