As a gun, the Heavy Machine Gun can shoot enemies from a distance (targets within range will be automatically targeted). It has high damage output and a long attack range. A Heavy Machine Gun has a total of thirty shots, and once those run out, it becomes useless. However, it can be reloaded with another thirty shots by picking up another Heavy Machine Gun.
Trivia
