- As with the MA5D Assault Rifle, the player must fire the M739 SAW in short, concise bursts to allow for all rounds to inflict maximum damage on intended targets. This strategy also reduces recoil.
- With the strength of the light machine gun combined with the large magazine size, the M739 can serve as a portable turret. While participating in game types such as Team Slayer or Capture the Flag in which vehicles are involved, a teammate can ride on the back of a Mongoose with the SAW; converting the Mongoose into a downsized Warthog. Another advantage to this method is the increased looking mobility which is twice than that of a Warthog turret.
- This same principal of a "mobile turret" can be employed defensively as well. A M739-armed player can effectively single-highhandedly protect an objective from any small assaults and seriously cripple larger ones, allowing the rest of their team to focus on dealing with the enemy and their own objective.
