It’s finally here! Sledgehammer Games‘ Call of Duty Vanguard is out right now and we can’t wait to jump into the fight. The only problem we have is… We don’t know what gun to us! If you’re looking for something that deals a lot of damage, may we recommend the Type 11? It’s a Light Machine Gun, but don’t let that put you off. Here’s the best Type 11 loadout available at the moment and why you should use it.

Vanguard’s Type 11 – Light Machine Gun

The Type 11 is a new weapon for Call of Duty, so you might be a little at odds with it. How does it perform against the series regulars and is it worth checking out? Yes. The Type 11 is a Light Machine Gun, but it’s lighter than the others in its class – no pun intended. This means you’re going to be quicker on your feet and it should naturally feel more like an Assault Rifle – although it won’t be quite as quick.

Being a Light Machine Gun does come with benefits too. It fires fast and hits hard – the base Magazine is naturally a little larger than other fully automatic weapons. Of course, there is room to adapt with the attachments on offer… But, at its base level, it is quite good at killing people.

With that in mind, here are the best Type 11 loadout and class build on offer at the moment. It should help negate the weaknesses of the weapon with its obvious strengths.
