## About FiNN LMG and Type 73

### 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.

### Type 73

Heavy Korean LMG inspired by Soviet designs; slower to handle but hard-hitting at medium and long range.

Apex Attachment, Type 73 Assault: Top-mounted magazine kit loaded with explosive rounds: limited capacity, very high stopping power. It blocks magazine and ammunition attachments.
