The MG42 is one of the most iconic World War II-era weapons that was included in Call of Duty: Vanguard. Unfortunately, like most LMGs in recent Call of Duty games, the MG42 has largely been overlooked by players in favor of lighter, more mobile options. Although the MG42 may initially seem inferior to other options in Call of Duty: Vanguard, players can find plenty of success with it after equipping a few of the most effective attachments and making minor tweaks to their playstyle.
