SA87
Hey gamers, today we are looking at the SA87 Light Machine Gun for Modern Warfare.
The SA87 unlocks when your player rank reaches level 24 and has a weapon max level of 56. It for a long time was considered a bottom tier weapon, but with the damage increase it got with the 1.14 patch, it is now a semi-reliable LMG.
Included in the Infographic are the general details, camo unlock requirements, base stats, some loadouts, and a listing of the Attachment Unlock Levels.
As for the Loadouts, they vary depending on your playstyle. Currently we have an assault rifle style loadout, and a standard LMG loadout if your looking to hang back and just lay down fire from a distance.
The second infographic below has additional details on the loadouts, more advanced statistics as well as information on some of the specialized SA87 attachments.
Below is a Summary of some of the info if the Graphic isn’t working for you.
