Use SMGs For Close Quarters
While the SA87 can boast accurate shots over long distances, it can be pretty weak when used in CQC. Use your SMGs when confronted by enemies at close range.

Long-Range LMG Setup
| Attachment | Reason |
|---|---|
| Muzzle Brake | Redirects gasses outward to stabilize the weapon for better control of sustained fire. |
| SA87 25.4 Factory | Longer barrel increases muzzle velocity and extends range. Additional weight stabilizes shots, but hinders mobility. |
| Merc Thermal Optic | 3.25x scope with thermal imaging highlights targets and provides visibility in all lighting conditions. Not compatible with NVG goggles. |
| Ranger Foregrip | Standard foregrip improves vertical recoil and stabilizes weapon while aiming for improved long range combat. |
| 60 Round Mags | High Capacity magazines hold 60 rounds of 5.56 NATO ammunition with a moderate weight increase. |
Thermal Optic + Smoke = Kills
The Merc Thermal Optic can see through Smoke and can also highlight hard to see enemies. This makes it easy to root out enemy troops in either side of the smoke. Use Smoke Grenades to either cover your escape or at enemies to obscure their vision, then rattle them with the SA87.
Good Recoil Control & Range
This setup boasts good accuracy and range while also having good recoil control. This makes the SA87 quite handy when fighting in either mid or long-range encounters.

High-Speed ADS
| Attachment | Reason |
|---|---|
| Muzzle Brake | Redirects gasses outward to stabilize the weapon for better control of sustained fire. |
| SA87 25.4 Factory | Longer barrel increases muzzle velocity and extends range. Additional weight stabilizes shots, but hinders mobility. |
| XRK SA87 Heavy Stock Pro | Heavy weight stock attachment provides stability while aiming. |
| Ranger Foregrip | Standard foregrip improves vertical recoil and stabilizes weapon while aiming for improved long range combat. |
| 60 Round Mags | High Capacity magazines hold 60 rounds of 5.56 NATO ammunition with a moderate weight increase. |
Get 60 Round Mags
As an LMG, the base ammo capacity SA87 is comparable to that of an AR. Make it into a full-on LMG by giving it a 60-Round Magazine for better sustain.
Decent Accuracy & Recoil Control
This setup also boosts the SA87's accuracy, control, and range. Use it well by hunkering down and covering a position or chokepoint.
Not A Mobile Build
Do not run around or try to use quick ADS with this setup as you will likely be outclassed by SMGs and ARs. Use this one to defend objectives and key points instead.

Trading Damage For Control
SA87 trades damage and rate of fire for lower recoil and better control. It can perform steadily in most situations to full effect.
Effective Even At Longer Ranges
Good control allows SA87 to reliably hit targets further away then most weapons. In maps that require you to scout, suppress from afar or take care of snipers, Sa87 can be helpful.
