Strategic Analysis: MG3 in PUBG
In the current meta, the MG3 occupies a dominant position. Its fast time-to-kill of 0.343s at close range makes it a top-tier pick for aggressive players. The weapon requires 5 shots to eliminate a full-health target at close range, 6 at medium range, and 7 at long range.
With 700 rounds per minute and a 75-round magazine, the MG3 can secure kills within a single magazine. Its headshot multiplier of 2x means skilled players can reduce TTK to 0.171s with consistent headshots.
Range performance sees damage drop to 85% at medium range and 70% at long range. Players should prefer close-to-medium range encounters.
