Half-Life: Opposing Force Hints
M-249 SAW Light Machine Gun
The M-249 is the new powerhouse weapon in OpForce. It is very powerful, but at the expense of accuracy. Use it on larger aliens like shocktroopers and particularly voltigores. The kickback from the weapon will drive you backwards and throw off your accuracy, but when something is caught in the M-249's line of sight, it won't survive very long. The M-249 runs through 50-bullet clips very quickly at any time and can have 4 clips max (4 * 50 = 200 bullets) in reserve. The M-249 does not work underwater.
