Description
Forged by the Wehrmacht, the Buzzsaw 42 Light Machine Gun was a 7.92x57mm Mauser general purpose machine gun that started being used in 1942. It supplemented and many times replaced other weapons on the battlefield. The Buzzsaw 42 is known for its reliability, durability, simplicity and ease of operation. Most notable of all is its to produce a high volume of suppressive fire, having one of the highest average cyclic rate of any single-barreled man-portable machine gun.

The Buzzsaw 42 is a light machine gun in PAYDAY 2, available to players who own the Gage Historical Pack DLC. It takes after the KSP, compensating for its lacking accuracy with an even more terrifying rate of fire.

Overview[]

The Buzzsaw 42 is, in many ways, comparable to the KSP, with certain advantages and disadvantages.

Damage-wise, the Buzzsaw deals the same amount per bullet, compounded with its blistering rate-of-fire makes for a terrifyingly high damage output. The Buzzsaw, however, has 50 fewer rounds per belt, meaning that the same rate-of-fire advantage will require it to be reloaded more often. 

Like the KSP, the Buzzsaw is highly appropriate for close quarter combat, having a very high rate of fire and high damage, alongside an enormous capacity of 150 rounds and a total ammo of 450 (563 with Fully Loaded). The weapon can be fired for several seconds before having to be reloaded, though this is usually not recommended. As a result, a single person can cover a whole room without much difficulty. At the end of a wave one can collect a large portion of their ammo back, as the weapon collects a large amount of ammunition back from pickups. This extreme room clearing power can be boosted even more with the Technician's Oppressor skill tree, as it offers more hip fire accuracy and damage. In an extreme situation one can use an ammo bag with the Bullet Storm skill or use Swan Song to get up to 15 seconds of continuous fire with no ammo loss. With the weapon's quick fire-rate, these 15 seconds can be used to deal massive damage.

Its extreme rate-of-fire makes the Buzzsaw an excellent choice for killing crowds of enemies or special units up close, barring Shields, which are immune to normal damage from the front. The Buzzsaw's high damage-per-second ensures that even the sturdiest of Bulldozers will fall after mere seconds, provided the player aims for the head and are well-complemented enough with armor and skill/perk bonuses to remain standing. Though somewhat difficult, it is also possible to take out Snipers with this weapon if one has a good feel for where bullets will land, or if their weapon is equipped with a laser sight or bipod.

Like most LMGs, the Buzzsaw's main weakness lies in its low accuracy. Without mods and skills to combat it, the weapon is barely useful at ranges exceeding a few meters. The weapon's recoil makes the low accuracy even more devastating, being hard to control outside of very short bursts. Both the KSP and Buzzsaw are equally accurate (48), though the KSP is much more stable during extended firing due to its lower rate of fire.

Summary[]

Pros:

  • Highest rate of fire and DPS of its class.
  • High per-shot damage up close combined with its fire rate makes it one of the best weapons for using Shock And Awe Aced and the Muscle Perk Deck's panic effects.
  • Large reserves, giving the player three spare magazines.
  • Has a dedicated stealth barrel which does not reduce damage.
  • Highest ammo pickup of its class, potentially negating its high ammo usage.
  • Can be modified and skilled for good accuracy and stability.

Cons:

  • Severe recoil, even when modded.
  • High rate-of-fire burns through ammo quickly if ammo pickups are not utilized, especially during protracted stand-offs.
  • No sight, aiming only provides a blurry "zoom".
  • Slow reload. (One of the slowest in the game, at 6.5 seconds, shared with the KSP 58)
  • Very small mod pool with only 2 unique mods. (Both being barrels)
  • Abysmal concealment that cannot be increased without a Boost or Optical Illusions aced.

Tips[]

  • It is barely usable beyond very close range without a laser gadget, not having any aim reticle and average accuracy.
    • A Flashlight is possibly better since it helps the user see the weapon's spread pattern more easily.
  • Zooming will tighten the spread, which helps with concentrated fire.
  • The Buzzsaw's recoil pulls the weapon up and to the right, so try and aim low to the left of the target to compensate for this. Though made difficult due to the weapon's blistering rate-of-fire, it is possible to "brace" the weapon by slowly pulling one's aim downwards to the left during a long burst to counteract the muzzle climb.
  • The recoil and threat reduction from suppressors as well as suppressor skills make it easier to consistently hit enemies since they will be less likely to dive for cover. At any rate, the extreme rate of fire of this weapon lends it more to direct combat compared to other LMGs with lower rates of fire and less frequent magazine changes.
  • Despite not affecting concealment, the Heatsinked Suppressed Barrel is a bad option as it prohibits the use of a barrel extension and therefore any extra gain to accuracy. Even when building the Buzzsaw to benefit from The Professional skill, it is better to use a separate suppressor instead to receive a larger net gain in Accuracy and Stability.
  • The Buzzsaw can reach an accuracy of 84 while retaining a decent stability of around 65. Helping to make the Buzzsaw's spread much more predictable and recoil easier to control.
    • Fire Control can further buff the Buzzsaw's accuracy from the hip, which helps a lot both up close and at range.
  • Shock And Awe and the "Disturbing the Peace" perk card from the Muscle Perk Deck turn the Buzzsaw into a crowd control monster. Since its absurd fire rate can quickly knock down shields and proc panic effects.
  • Bloodthirst Aced can alleviate the sluggish reload like with most LMG's. Provided you can safely find an enemy by their lonesome to kill with a melee weapon.
  • Having Aced Body Expertise and Berserker w/Frenzy basic enables much more liberal use with your ammo on practically all enemy types.
    • In conjunction with Shock and Awe and panic effects, you can shut down any enemy up close with ultimate ease.
    • A Shotgun with Overkill Aced is another strong option if you'd prefer saving skill points for other objective or support-focused skills.
    • However, its recoil and wide bullet spread will make Snipers a troublesome adversary on many heists, so bring a reliable answer to them.
  • Bipods are highly recommended for defensive heists or when you intend to defend a fortified position with plenty of sight lines, such as holding a position on Cook Off like the window or staircase, or when bunkering down in hallways and tight positions to shred law enforcement attempting to get close.

Trivia

Fire Breather Nozzle

  • The Fire Breather Nozzle is based on the Noveske KX3 "Flaming Pig" flash suppressor, which features an engraved image much like the Fire Breather.
  • Looking down the muzzle of a gun upgraded with Fire Breather Nozzle will often show the gun's original muzzle clipping through Fire Breather's model.

Marmon Compensator

  • The Marmon Compensator is based on the Kel-Tec KSG V6 muzzle brake. For some reason, it is treated as a general-purpose muzzle brake for non-shotgun "rifle-sized" weapons, despite being designed and made specifically for the KSG-12 which, strangely enough, isn't compatible with this specific item.

Trivia

LED Combo

  • The LED Combo is based on the Leapers, Inc. UTG LED Weapon light and Laser.
    • Although the main flashlight has a toggle switch, the laser sight component of the LED Combo is pressure-activated, meaning the laser will stay on as long as the pressure switch is depressed. This switch is not placed where it should be, however (on foregrips, magazine wells, etc...) and is instead ziptied to the main taclight, leaving no plausible mean for the user to toggle it without awkwardly moving their off hand off the weapon and gripping the attachment itself.

Trivia[]

  • The Buzzsaw 42 is based on the MG 42 (Maschinengewehr 42, or "machinegun 42"), widely known for its extreme rate of fire, reliability and service in the Second World War by the Wehrmacht, the Schutzstaffel's Waffen SS armed forces and other Nazi paramilitary groups. The "buzzsaw" in "Buzzsaw 42" came from one of the MG 42's real-world nicknames: "Hitler's Buzzsaw".
    • The Light Barrel modification gives the Buzzsaw 42 the barrel of an MG 34. The MG 34 is the precursor to, and base design inspiration of the final MG 42 (technical differences, if any, are mainly the frame's metalworking and adjustments to the belt-feeding system) so backwards compatibility is not unusual, especially so with the right modifications. Fitting the Heatsinked Suppressed Barrel on instead produces the look of the DLT-19 Heavy Blaster Rifle from Star Wars, albeit with a MG 42 receiver instead of the MG 34's.
      • When fitted with the Light Barrel, the Buzzsaw has the closest thing to a "true" ironsight system for an LMG, as its two visible posts seem to line up pretty closely when zoomed in. Do not be fooled by this, though, as the posts are not aligned in a straight line with the barrel, and the second one is actually an elevation gauge, not a rear sight.
    • The MG42's blazing rate-of-fire and overall reliability are attributed mainly to its roller-locked open bolt firing mechanism, which relies heavily on its extreme recoil to properly chamber and fire. Due to this, attempting to realistically remedy its high recoil via modification would potentially reduce its cyclic rate and interfere with the gun's performance.
  • As noted on the Gage Historical Pack website, the real-life Buzzsaw is considered a general-purpose machine gun, and not a light-machine gun. This is because it was designed to fulfill multiple roles without much modification. The MG42 was capable of being used as an infantry machine gun, being mounted on complex tripods in fixed positions for highly accurate fields of fire (in this role it was considered a heavy machine gun, and in infantry usage as a light machine gun).
    • The Buzzsaw 42 is one of three belt-fed Light Machine Guns in PAYDAY 2, the other being the KSP and the Ksp 58.
      • It is unusual that the Buzzsaw actually takes more time to reload than the KSP, seeing how the process has less steps to go through (the player character replaces the entire drum and seats the belt at the same time, unlike the KSP which has a separate belt-seating animation).
  • The Buzzsaw's in-game magazine size is unusually massive compared to its real-world counterpart (3 times as big). The real MG42 portable drum magazine is specifically designed to aid in rapid deployment and reload of the weapon on the move, and thus are only made to store a very small amount of ammunition so as not to add unnecessary weight to the weapon. The in-game ammo count was likely bumped up to make it more useful in combat, as a regular 50-round drum would be expended in mere moments given the blazing fast fire rate of the MG42.
  • On the side of the weapon its printed: 1943 M.G. 42 188 8T.
  • The "Bullet Hell" achievement is a reference to a genre of 2D shoot-em-ups known as bullet-hell (also known as danmaku, curtain, or manic) shooters. What sets bullet-hell apart from other shoot-em-up games is the sheer number of projectiles (or bullets) which tend to be on the screen at once, fitting with the Buzzsaw 42's sheer rate of fire.
  • In Update #83 the Buzzsaw 42s bipod was removed to make room for the Lion's Bipod. The inventory icon was not updated to reflect this change.
  • The real life MG42 uses the recoil to cycle the next round which reduces recoil; Some of the kinetic energy that would have gone into your shoulder, is instead absorbed by the moving bolt. Making its terrible stability quite strange.
