Ghost Recon Wildlands – The best weapons – Light Machine Guns – MK249
The M249 is a light machine gun and a modified version of the FN Minimi. The rifle is used by the U.S. military as the standard LMG and impresses with its compact design and ease of handling.
In Ghost Recon Wildlands, the MK249 is a brutal device that can unleash a seemingly endless hail of fire with its 150(!) round magazine. Each hit inflicts a lot of damage, and the weapon is still quite handy. The MK249 also has an impressive range.
This makes the weapon ideal for providing fire support for your team from a distance. Just hold down the fire button and shower the enemy with bullets. However, due to the strong muzzle flash, you can hardly see where you are shooting.
Location – Where to find the MK249?
The MK249 can be found in the region of Malca, which is not particularly difficult. There, it lies in a base on the east bank of the lake north of Icoya. The YouTuber StreamerHouse has already found the weapon and shows you the location as well as the attributes of the weapon in the embedded video.
