In-game description


The Catara mo.II is a Colonial Light Machine Gun (LMG for short)

Description[ | ]

The Catara LMG is an infantry weapon that fires 12.7mm with a high rate of fire and high damage output. It has an effective range comparable to rifles. It is unable to get pinpoint accuracy, making it more suited for suppression and dealing with closer targets than precision shots. It deals the same damage as the Colonial KRN886-127 Gast Machine Gun and can damage weak defenses (Rifle Pillboxes, watch towers). Wielding it slows your movement, but it can be fired even when standing.

The Soldier Uniform reduces the Catara's Encumbrance by 25%.

When wielded, the gun reduces your movement speed by 15%, similar to Assault Rifles.

Tactics[ | ]

Since the Catara slows you down when wielded, it can be advantageous to switch to your secondary weapon when you want to move. The gun can deal meaningful damage at up to 35m, giving it an edge over regular rifles.

Best employed from a static, supported position like a trench or sandbag wall. The accuracy when firing full auto from a standing position is poor, but the massive damage per-shot and decent rate of fire means it can be an effective close quarters weapon in a pinch.

It is the only weapon using 12.7mm that can be used on an undeployed Barge.

Trivia[ | ]

  • Prior to the introduction of faction specific small arms in Update 0.42 the Catara was also used by the Wardens and was referred to simply as an "LMG". This version of the weapon used 7.92mm ammunition, a feature it retained until update 0.44.
  • The Catara seems to be a Lewis Gun Mark III, with its iconic pan magazine and deleted barrel shroud. The barrel and handguard portion of the gun seems to be based on a M1918 Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR). The Soviet DP-27/28 light machine gun may also have influenced the design.
  • The pan magazine is also very similar to that of the gas operated Vickers K machine guns of World War 2.
