News - 556 Icarus Warzone 2 Guide. Class Setup (fightlite Mcr)
Though in typical LMG fashion, you could always stick a bipod on there if you plan on defending and holding down areas that are failing. Something to complement that would be something like the Aging Grip, which could also be a good one to use for offensive tactics. Standard iron sights are manageable, though I'd probably go for a reflex or holographic site personally with this gun just to make it easier to line up your aim with other players over medium distances, which can be especially beneficial if you've reduced the recall first and extended its range with other attachments.
Unlike the real-life weapon, it's based on the MCR. The Icarus isn't compatible with the detachable Max, but you do have access to a 100-round belt; is this a good thing to equip? Well, not in my eyes, as 75 rounds should suffice in most situations, and that larger belt is just going to reduce mobility even further and take even longer to reload, so I'd probably prioritize another attachment to reduce recoil or something instead, though I'll leave this one up to you.
I guess when it comes to lasers, I mean lasers. I'mlasers The Icarus might seem better suited than some of the other LMGs down to it being somewhat effective within earlier distances and with it also having some decent hit fire spread, so making this even tighter with the PEC beam 5 or using something like the Lads 44v3 to counter some of those mobility nerves caused by other attachments might seem like a good choice for a lot of players, Anyway, in conclusion, the 556 Icarus is a fairly versatile LMG.
Conclusion
which in a way sort of acts like a bit of a hybrid between the assault rifles and light machine guns, offering increased maneuverability and better hit fire than the lmgs, along with more firepower than the assault rifles generally given equalities, which shine through when looking at the automatic weapons as a whole; its fast fire rate can help to compensate for its lower than average bullet speed, which is only really going to be problematic over longer distances; up close, the Eucharist does a really good job of tearing through enemies in quick succession, having loads of ammunition to burn through before you'll need to see out a long-window reload.
It fares well as an aggressive weapon so long as you're careful and quick to the trigger, perhaps a bit more so than a few of the other light machine guns that attempt to perform better over range instead, but the 556 Icarus's high fire rate can lead to high recall buildup, so this along with lower bullet damage is another thing to go against it being an effective long-range lmg at least in its base form without the right attachments.
But, overall, the 556 Icarus is a decent option for those who want an LMG with a bit more in common with assault rifles, being a pretty well-rounded gun for early mid-range use. That's it for this one, folks. I hope you enjoyed the guide.
