In The Division, we present the Light Machine Gun Hungry Hog. This is one of the new named weapons from update 1.2.
So far, there have been no weapon balance changes in The Division. However, the new gear sets from the Conflict update are intended to shift the focus towards other weapon types. The set “Lonely Hero” is specifically designed for shotguns and light machine guns.
A candidate for this is the new named LMG “Hungry Hog”. Is it worth keeping an eye out for this weapon?
This is what makes Hungry Hog special in The Division
You cannot acquire Hungry Hog from vendors or craft it at the crafting station. You obtain it as a random drop from elite enemies with unique names. A frequently mentioned source for the LMG are the enemies in the Dark Zone. However, there are also occasional reports of this weapon being spotted outside the Dark Zone in daily missions in Challenge Mode.
The Hungry Hog can fire 500 rounds per minute and has a base magazine size of 100. The stats are as follows:
Since it is a named weapon, you cannot apply other weapon skins to the Hungry Hog. Similarly fixed are the talents:
- Predatory: When you take down a target, health regenerates by 13.5% over 5 seconds. Requirements include all attributes: 1547 in firearms and electronics, as well as 2579 stamina.
- Stable: Stability is improved by 47% (Requirement: 1547 firearms, 2063 stamina).
- Meticulous: When you kill a target, you have a 23.5% chance that the magazine will be refilled. This talent is always active.
These talents are rather average. Unfortunately, the Hungry Hog is fixed to this.
According to Arekkz Gaming, it is incredibly fun to roam the post-apocalypse with this weapon. When you can extend the magazine and shoot 200 rounds without needing to reload, you feel like a Terminator.
However, light machine guns currently belong to the “Lower Class” of weapon types in The Division. Even the “Lonely Hero” set does not significantly enhance them. Therefore, it is not worth farming the Hungry Hog in the Dark Zone to boost your agents.
If you still want to approach the LMGs, the Hungry Hog is recommended as a fun weapon. After all, some players also report in the reddit forum that they are very happy with this weapon combined with “Lonely Hero.”
In this article, we provide you with an overview of all new gear sets in The Division.
