This article describes a Pixel Gun 3d weapon. If you are looking for the same weapon in Pixel Gun World, see Best Friend.

The Machine Gun, formerly known the "Simple Machine Gun", which was formerly called the "Best Friend", is a Primary Weapon. As of 8.2.1, the Machine Gun can be utilized in multiplayer and is now used as a starter primary for beginners. Earlier, it could only be accessed in Arena, Campaign, and Deadly Games modes.

Appearance

It is a synthetic black submachine-gun, with a red firing selector near the center. It has a shoulder stock and a straight magazine. 

Strategy

It has low damage, high rate of fire, medium capacity and average mobility.

Tips

  • Aim for the head to maximize damage.
  • This weapon is fairly accurate, back off to avoid anyone attacking back.
  • The Simple Machine Gun has a small magazine size. Take cover when reloading or finish off the target with a secondary weapon, such as the Pixel Gun or the Signal Pistol.
  • Try to replace this weapon as soon as possible as this is very underpowered when going against armored (steel or above) players

Counters

  • Jump and run around to avoid getting hit by too many shots while trading blows with an SMG or rifle.
  • Alternatively, this weapon deals low damage per shot, so charge the user with a close-range weapon, such as the Simple Shotgun.
  • Users of the Simple Machine Gun won't have very much staying power, as the small magazine size will impede them from entering too many fights. Retaliate when they reload.
  • Pickoff its users from long ranges.
