The Portable Heavy Machine is a Hybrid Heavy Weapon that uses Bullet Ammo, and was introduced in the Ultimate Soldier Update; it is most achieved by buying the Mobile Assisted Unit R.I.
Strategy[]
Because of its unique design, this bulked up assault rifle is actually classified as a heavy weapon, and with that, it shares many similarities, a fast firing rate, large ammo pool, and moderate damage, all of that combined make it well off on its own, but as the meta has shifted this weapon has very quickly slipped under the radar due to more viable Heavy Weapons, as well as other Assault Weapons. Before the introduction of anti-equipment this weapon's Active Skill could kill an enemy in a single shot, now not anymore.
With its mostly agile hold and great range and accuracy, this weapon works great in a Camping strategy, where its user can lay low dealing damage from afar without being targeted to quickly, however it can also be played highly offensive in a Run And Gun, so long as the player remembers to reload when necessary; but up against tank and anti equipment mains this weapon can easily be put asunder. Although it shares its strengths with Heavy Weapons, it also shares their weaknesses as well, so avoid encounters with Water Weapons, Shotguns, and Assault Weapons.
