The MG36 has fairly average statistics such as moderate rate of fire, recoil, and damage values. It does have one exceptional characteristic, however, sporting the fastest reload time of any LMGs.
The MG36 resets exceptionally fast after firing, so using fast single-shot bursts gives it very potent stopping power over medium to longer ranges. Fully automatic fire is not advised unless at very close range. With the grip attachment and/ or kick, the weapon gains much needed accuracy allowing more rounds to hit the target at a longer range. The weapon's lower rate of fire can be fixed by implementing the rapid fire attachment, however some accuracy will be sacrificed with the added recoil.

Description
|
Icon
|
|
Kick
|
Kick Reduces recoil by 20%, allowing for steadier full-auto and faster recovery from shots. |
 |
|
Impact
|
Impact grants maximized penetration for any weapon. This is especially powerful on Assault Rifles and SMGs, as LMGs already have strong penetration, and Sniper Rifles are difficult to use for intentional walling shots. |
 |
|
Attachment
|
Allows the use of 2 Attachments. It is a solid all-around Proficiency, useful in many situations. This Proficiency is also notably useful for stealth builds, as it allows you to use a Silencer alongside any other Attachment. The Attachment Proficiency is also helpful if you are still getting comfortable with iron sights, as it allows you to take and optical Attachment and a second utility Attachment. |
 |
|
Focus
|
Reduces visual recoil by 50% when you are hit. Focus is very effective for SMGs and Shotguns. It is also helpful for ARs, as it can keep your shots on target when you enter a heads-up one-on-one firefight. |
 |
|
Speed
|
Improves movement speed by 10%, or one step up on the mobility scale. Speed is an important upgrade for LMGs and Riots Shields. It is less critical for Sniper Rifles, excepting the Barret and AS50, which are heavier and slower than other Sniper Rifles. |
 |
|
Stability
|
Reduces idle sway by 25%. Consider this to be an 'automatic' Breath for long-range combat. It is most useful on LMGs, as they need the enhanced accuracy for long-range shots, though ARs also benefit from it. |
