Source review — 10 November 2026: This is an original-game loadout from the dated guide below. Accessible source pages confirm the listed weapon attachment names. Perks and equipment retain their original dated attribution; the source review does not imply hands-on testing or a fresh balance-patch analysis.
The GPMG is the Winter Siege LMG in Call of Duty: WWII. Activision says it fires faster than the MG 15, has tighter hip-fire spread than the MG 42, and delivers reliable four-shot kills at any range. Our verdict is that it is a flexible LMG that can also run and gun. The advice is from 23 December 2017, before the April 2018 Division overhaul.
Best GPMG loadout
This comes from Activision's official Winter Siege post, the only source we could read with this gun's attachments.
| Slot | Pick | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Attachment | Grip | Activision's top recommendation; effect not listed |
| Attachment | Quickdraw | Activision's top recommendation; effect not listed |
| Attachment | Full Metal Jacket | Extra damage against Scorestreaks and through walls |
| Division | Armored | Bipod at the time, reducing recoil and reload speed when deployed |
| Basic Training | Hustle | Faster reloads, including while moving |
Why this build works
A consistent four-shot kill means you don't have to adjust for range. Grip and Quickdraw then help you get on target and stay there, and Full Metal Jacket makes the gun useful against Scorestreaks. Hustle covers the moments you can't sit behind a bipod to reload.
How to play it
Use the bipod on a lane you have already chosen, or switch to Airborne to run and gun, a route Activision itself suggests. That Airborne use relies on the hip-fire spread being tighter than the MG 42's. Since April 2018 the bipod is standard on LMGs, so Armored is no longer needed for it.
Alternative setups
- Rapid Fire: Activision lists this as optional, warning that it increases recoil.
- Launched: Activision's alternative Basic Training for carrying a launcher, which it says is best for taking out Scorestreaks.
Unlock notes
During Winter Siege it came from a Major Howard Special Order requiring 50 Multiplayer matches, with Orders rotating on a five-day cycle. Check your game for current access.
