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.  

SA87 Weapon Information with 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.
