## About APOC-338 and FiNN LMG

### APOC-338

Belt-fed LMG with devastating firepower, a slower cyclic rate and punishing recoil.

Apex Attachment, APOC-338 Praetor: Ten-round high-grain belt replaces the box feed and locks the gun to semi-auto: lighter profile, heavier hits. It blocks magazine attachments.

### FiNN LMG

Open-bolt, belt-fed LMG that is light, mobile and stable, with a high fire rate and strong recoil control.

Apex Attachment, FiNN Adverse: Tempest Armament modification that unthrottles the rate of fire. Sustained fire overheats the gun until it cools down. Activision lists no blocked attachment types for it.
