Sledgehammer wants the KG M40 assault rifle to be a versatile option for players.

Vanguard Multiplayer and Warzone will get the KG M40 LMG at launch through the Battle Pass, which the devs are lauding as a “workhorse assault rifle.”

The M40 will have the second-best damage per shot among ARs with over 600 RPM to boot. If players can cope with its recoil problems, then it could be a great option for mid-to-long distance scenarios.
