BAR M1918

The Browning Automatic Rifle M1918 is a LMG added in the "Into the Woods" update on October 18, 2018. It is the only weapon so far to stay after an event, along with the MIRV Grenades. The BAR is relatively rare, only known to be found in airdrops and in the Hatchet Crate in the Hydra Bunker.

Being an LMG, the BAR M1918 does 75% extra damage to structures.

Strategy

 * This weapon, like all the LMGs in the game, deals extra damage to obstacles, which is very helpful, especially considering that the Autumn map has considerably more trees than the basic map.
 * This weapon can be compared to the SCAR-H in the map, as the two weapons perform similarly, and use the same ammo type. Think of the BAR M1918 as a SCAR-H with slightly increased damage, the increased damage to obstacles boost of a LMG, such as the DP-28, but with a lower damage per second thanks to a slower rate of fire. (About 20 less DPS)
 * Despite being a LMG, this gun has a surprisingly low capacity of 20, the lowest of its class; however, it compensates with the lowest reload time of all LMGs.
 * This weapon is extremely effective with a 15x Scope, due to it's moderately high firerate, being auto, and being extremely accurate. You can stand still and take out enemies from the edge of the range almost without fear of retaliation.

Trivia

 * It's the second American WW2-era firearm to be added in the game, with the M1 Garand being the first.
 * It's also the second WW1-era weapon to be added in the game, with the Mosin-Nagant being the first. Unlike the Mosin-Nagant, which was used by the Russian Empire as the standard issue rifle, the M1918 BAR was deployed in limited quantities by the US army during it's involvement in WW1 due to being introduced late in the war.
 * The pickup icon seem to be based on the original M1918 version, as it lacks the bipod and adjustable iron sights of the M1918A1 or M1918A2 variants that were issued after WW1.
 * It's the oldest weapon of the LMG class, starting production in 1918, right at the last days of WW1, around nine years before the DP-28.
 * The M1918 is the only LMG in the game that doesn't have a visible magazine.
 * The reload sound of the BAR indicates that the player racks the bolt before replacing the magazine. This is possible to do on an open-bolt weapon such as the M1918.
 * The reload sound is similar to the QBB-97's and the M4A1-S's reload sound.
