The '''M739 Light Machine Gun''' is a [[Wikipedia:Squad automatic weapon|squad automatic weapon (SAW)]] used by the [[UNSC Armed Forces]]. Designed and manufactured by [[Misriah Armory]], the M739 is used in protracted engagements where sustained or suppressive fire is required. The weapon is fed ammunition by a 72-round belt in a drum magazine.<ref name="bulle"/> | |||
The '''M739 Light Machine Gun''' | |||
==Overview== | ==Overview== | ||
SAWs increased in usage over the 22nd century during the first major colonial conflicts. In response, Misriah Armory began development of light machine guns that could serve in a SAW role. The M739 is the most recent addition to this, being introduced during the late years of the [[Insurrection]], and continuing on into the [[Human-Covenant War]]. As of 2558, the UNSC continues to use the M739.<ref>'''[[Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''page 67''</ref> It is classified as a Common REQ and can be summoned in [[Warzone]] at Level 4 energy.<ref name="H5G"/> | |||
==Gameplay== | |||
===Changes from ''Halo 4'' to ''Halo 5: Guardians''=== | |||
*Can now utilize the [[Spartan abilities#Smart Scope|Smart Scope]] feature to decrease reticule bloom. | |||
*Increased or decreased damage, killing in 12-14 rounds instead of 13, depending on the headshot bonus. | |||
==Variants== | |||
*'''Appetite for Destruction''': The ''Appetite for Destruction'' features a larger magazine and increased ammo capacity. It features [[Stabilization Jets]].<ref name="H5G">'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'''</ref> | |||
*'''The Answer''': While ''The Answer'' fires at a slower rate than other M739s, It features projectiles with proximity-fused high explosive warheads. It has also much less recoil and greater accuracy, to the point of minimal reticule bloom even when fired full-auto. It takes 6 rounds to kill a Spartan in [[War Games]]. It is classified as a Rare REQ and can be summoned in Warzone at Level 6 energy.<ref name="H5G"/> It can also be found in the [[campaign]] on the level [[Genesis (level)|Genesis]].<ref>'''Halo 5 Guardians''', ''campaign level [[Genesis (level)|Genesis]]</ref> | |||

==Trivia== | ==Trivia== | ||
*The '' | {{Linkbox|gameplay=yes|gallery=yes|gallerypage=Images of M739 SAW}} | ||
* | *The SAW has the same damage properties as the Assault Rifle in ''Halo 4'' multiplayer, with 10 rounds to disable shields and 3 rounds to the body for a kill. This effectively makes the SAW an overall upgrade to the Assault Rifle with its higher rate of fire, higher accuracy, and higher magazine capacity. This similarity makes canon sense as both weapons use the same 7.62x51mm round FMJ round. | ||
*Earning four kills with the SAW without dying in Majestic DLC matchmaking will unlock the [[Last Man Grinning]] [[achievement]]. | |||
