M249 SAW with Magnified A, Compensator and laser for an LMG that rewards controlling the vertical climb yourself, the Super Shorty as a fully fixed backup, and Frag Grenades for direct damage on anchors and utility.
Expert recommendation
Written and reviewed by hand for this patch. This is an opinion, not a win-rate measurement.
Why it works
Compensator is the pick when you already keep the M249 SAW controlled vertically and horizontal drift is what actually costs you through a long burst — it's less forgiving than Flash Hider, but the LMG's sustained fire rewards that control. Magnified A gives Gridlock the reach to use it at range rather than just up close, and the laser sharpens hip-fire for closer trades. The Super Shorty only offers Iron Sights and nothing else, so it's mostly a fixed pick with a laser on top.
Who it is best for
Players who want Frag Grenades as the default utility — direct damage against anchors and utility that pairs with the caltrops Gridlock is already dropping to control space.
