Muzzle Attachment: MX Silencer. This attachment reduces the gun’s sound. Adding on it makes the machine gun more accurate as well. As a drawback, the time it takes to aim down sight is considerably longer.

Barrel Atachment: VDD 890mm 32M Luftschutz. This barrel modification is a boon to the player. It greatly reduces recoil and increases accuracy. The sway that occurs when zoomed in is also reduced. However, it negatively impacts mobility traits, such as aim down sight speed, overall sprint speed, and the sprint to fire speed.

Underbarrel Attachment: M1941 Handstop. This handstop does wonder for the gun’s overall recoil control and accuracy. As a necessary drawback, the gun has lower hip-fire accuracy. This gun is not meant to hipfire as it is so, no harm done.

Magazine Attachment: 8mm Jaeger 250 Round Box. The gun’s magazine capacity is greatly increased. This allows the player for sustained, consistent firing on a target. The drawback is, increase in reload speed and reduced mobility.

Ammunition Attachment: Lengthened. This allows a higher bullet velocity allowing the player to lead their targets lesser.

Rear Grip Attachment: Stippled Grip. This grip reduces the initial recoil of the weapon.
