Built on the bones of the first automatic weapons introduced to the Legion, the “Lamentum” mm.IV is still quite an intimidating force to encounter on the battlefield. Boasting a large magazine and impressive active range, this mounted machinegun excels at laying down consistent suppressive fire.
In-game description

A Tripod Mounted Machinegun for the Colonial faction. It fires 12.7mm.

Description[ | ]

The Lamentum mm.IV has best in class damage per-shot and magazine capacity, but a slow rate of fire. It has a high-velocity barrel that deals 50% more damage than normal 12.7mm Machine Guns and excels at eliminating infantry, although it is just as effective against light vehicles and some structures.

Tactics[ | ]

The Lamentum's main counters are Sniper Rifles, Mortars, and Artillery. Due to its fixed firing arc the gun's operator is susceptible to flanking. This weapon benefits greatly from pre-prepared positions and can annihilate entire attacks single-handedly if deployed in a fortified location.

A Motorcycle is an excellent way to improve the mobility of a gun team using a Lamentum: the combination of low cost, high speed, and just enough inventory slots for the tripod and gun make it well suited to shifting between positions.

Trivia[ | ]

  • The Lamentum mm.IV is based on the Maxim Gun, one of the most widely used machine guns designs in history and more distinctive from its lighter variants due to the water-cooled barrel. It mostly resembles the MG-08.
