Bothering mod authors will lead to warnings and repeat offenses will lead to bans.
The WTT team brings you the iconic 5.56x45 NATO light machine gun to Tarkov. Over the course of the last several months, we have had some of the best talent on our team working on this weapon to make it look beautiful, sound powerful, and feel fun to use 
This project would not have been possible without the following , very talented individuals:
Choccster - Animations/Rigging - SPT weapon container modder who created the beautiful animations and rigged the weapon to the skeleton.
EpicRangeTime - Sound Design/ Attachment Creation - WTT's in-house attachment modder, also known for creating "Epic's All In One" which adds hundreds of unique attachments to the game.
GrooveypenguinX - NLA Baking/ Blender Exporting/ Tool Creation - One of the founding members of WTT, lead developer, and jack-of-all-trades who learned NLA Baking and proper exporting of the weapon container within Blender so that the process of implementing this weapon could move into Unity. Groovey is also known for developing the Punisher Boss mod - Rogue Justice, Small Cases mod, WTT- WAAC (the mod that adds women PMCs to Tarkov), WTT- Head and Voice Selector... and the list goes on. Most importantly, Groovey developed the tools that our team uses to make these crazy mods. Without that tooling, our project would be 1/4th of its current size in custom content.
Moloc - Balancing and Testing - WTT's in-house balancer who carefully balances all of our weapons, attachments, items, and equipment to ensure that they feel good to use in-game.
MoxoPixel - Texturing and Graphical Art - A master texturer and graphics artist who has all but mastered Substance Painter and Unity's material/shader systems. Known for the SPT Trader "Painter", as well as TGC - Tactical Gear Component, Mag Tape, and the "Core" mods, Moxo is responsible for creating WTT's logo that is used on all of our renders. He has also provided texturing for several of WTT's weapons, including doing the final pass on the M249 and its attachments.
Rexana - Sound Design and Texturing - WTT's weapon workhorse and my partner for new weapon container creation for the WTT-Armory mods, weapon sounds, and texturing. If it's weapon related, there's a good chance Rex has worked on it.
Myself - Unity Prefab and Bundle Creation - Over a year ago, I developed a passion for modding this game and formed WTT alongside the other co-founders of this project. I have put a majority of my time to working with adding custom assets - weapons, attachments, items, and equipment.
Ehtacs - Ehtacs, a member of WTT's discord community who helped with final balancing and testing.
I can whole heartedly say that without all of the individuals above, this would not have been possible. 
The weapon and associated parts are available from Peacekeeper at Loyalty Level 4
CMDR_Tank
so i install it on 3.10 and the gun bugged like this https://files.fm/u/6hgugkex2t does that happened to some people?
CMDR_Tank
i delete it and redownload it again and install it and didnt work until...
i just realize that i download and install realism mod in spt so you need a patch for 249 and lucky there is a mod called : Realism compatibility patch pack
so yeah after i put it in its work well so yeah
Sptarky_001
Can you make an animation for the bipod or is it not possible?
Springski
A LMG BSG should've added a while ago, this is hands down my favorite WTT weapon by far, sounds just like the real thing too. Well done.
dankmemes8187
updated to 3.10 and downloaded some mods including this one! downloaded perfectly fine appears in game, but it is bugged and i cant edit the gun build. any help or insight would be appreciated, i didnt see any mod dependencies but i couldve missed something
Tron Author
Sounds like a mod conflict. No one else has reported this issue thus far. Try removing mods or reordering load order.
dankmemes8187
thank you for the fast reply, ill test out my new load order. love the mod dude
TooDangerousForPants
Any plan to add the functionality to load the steel stanag mags into the side of the weapon?
Tron Author
Hello! This was requested a few times below in the comments. We've had some of the most experienced weapon modders from both within our team and externally looking into making this a reality. Unfortunately, it's extremely difficult with how BSG has their animation system set up. Unsure still if it will be a thing. We'll see.
TooDangerousForPants
Thanks for the response! I hope you excellent folk manage to figure it out! Thank you all for your excellent work
SaadKUS
Does not work with FIKA
Tron Author
It does. Our team plays with it on a regular basis, as do many other server owners we know of.
SaadKUS
My friend just gets endless loading to the game, even can't get to menu screen
Tron Author
Give your friend your bundles in cache folder and the json files in cache folder as well.
deadlyboom3
I Don't know if it is for just this mod but the M249 does not produce any sound or projectiles. I have a similar issue with the Painter edition weapons but there is no error log and idk why its happening.
cptbetty
Awesome mod. With native bipod support recently added with 3.10, are there any plans to include a bipod for this?
MoxoPixel Author
I don't think so. It will probably be added when the full WTT mod is released.
_ANUBIS_
Hi guys. You are doing an amazing job. You are the one who makes the game so interesting. thank you for that.
have you thought about creating OC14 GROZA? This weapon fits the game setting as much as possible. And I have never seen anything like it. Thank you for your work.
Juulcat
Great gun love using it, the recoil can get low enough to use long range sights and be able to mag at enemies with missing 2/3s of the mag. cant wait to see more guns come from you
AaronSam23
Aim gets stuck at ADS when quickly releasing right click after firing one or more shots, resets when right clicked again. (Using hold to aim)
justiceLeague
The weapon looks AAA. Insane quality.
Liquidmantis
nothing feels better than unloading 50 rounds of this bad boy into killa

Can we have mg4?If I could see it appearing in Tarkov, my goodness, that would be great！
AngryOwl51
Please bro, no one else has done it and its not appreciated enough. Please consider adding the F2000 to Tarkov!
burlyot
Please dont add the Plastic alien gun F2000.
Roush7n6
Ignore burlyot. Please add the tactical tuna
Forzero
awesome work. have 1 question how to make same shaders and textures like on screenshots, looks fire. can't find anything from moxoPixel
MoxoPixel Author
It's just a mod, freecam by Terkz. It's just from the game but I play on max settings. I also added blur in the background with Photoshop.
Unknwndog
Was happy to see this and added it to the list, but the game refuses to get past loading the bundle now.
Are there any compatibility issues with Fika or Swag/Sain etc.?
Tron Author
Shouldn't be any compatibility issues. All WTT armory mods are pretty lightweight and don't usually have any conflicting mod issues besides needing a realism patch. This would be the first case I am hearing about loading issues for this one.
Unknwndog
Ah I see. No idea then, since I've used several of your mods with an SPT install without Fika and had no issues.
Haven't found a way to fix it sadly and my friend had the same issue, when trying to launch the game after installing the mod.
MGeezy89
i Have this same problem. my server console says "Realism Mod: Failed To Find Custom Preset For Bot marksman At Tier 2. Do not panic, read the warning, do not report this.Weapon 5ae08f0a5acfc408fb1398a1 was generated incorrectly, falling back to weapon preset see error aboveRealism Mod: Failed To Find Custom Preset For Bot marksman At Tier 2. Do not panic, read the warning, do not report this.Weapon 5ae08f0a5acfc408fb1398a1 was generated incorrectly, falling back to weapon preset see error above" Apparently its somehow conflicting with the mosin. Thats what the "5ae08f0a5acfc408fb1398a1" id comes back to on the database search.So i may have figured out why it wasnt loading for me. I had the trader called Yilmaz and the dependency called Traps - Custom Quest installed. I had them both installed for a long time or so I thought since i never had a quest from Yilmaz. I downloaded traps mod and installed it today and then installed the m249 and thats when all of the WTT mods stopped working, even ones that ive been playing with for a while now. Uninstalled both and i still get the same error as stated in my strikethrough but the game loads and everything is usable again.
SaadKUS
I had the same issue. My friend and i (as host with FIKA mod) tried to play with m249 and he just could not load his game. Tried several times. Last what we got on server was "weapon_m249.bundle" and nothing afterwards.

the m240b would be epic!
cajunchickenpasta
Hello.
Thank you and your team for your mod.
As usual, the WTT team delivers with a fantastic end product.
I saw below how there was a problem with finding quality kits for the M249.
I will scour myself and let you know of any good findings.
I really like the 100 and 200 round boxes for the weapon.
Would it be possible to add functionality to use the M4 STANAG and its' variants?
Tron Author
Hey Cajun. Thank you for the kind words. Stanag compatibility is something we had considered, but due to the complexity, ultimately decided against it.
SinkSankSunk
Aw I wanted to use clipazines in my fully semi automatic gun with the shoulder thing that goes up
11thSOG_Linda
This was my personal weapon for 7 years in the Dutch Army. But the PARA version, with cllapsable stock.
And i love that you bring it to Tarkov!
ShearedLugs
WTT is my favorite mod line

How to attach the Mod optic C79 to it?To mock up the M145 MGO of course.
Seryy
Load whatever mod adds the C79 after the M249.
876891062
But it seems this weapon doesn't compatible with any mod optic at all
Ktown
I dunno if anybody brought this up but the 249 has a second feed that can take M4 magazines in emergency situations. It's very unreliable but I would like to ask if it's possible to add?
Spirus Dragovich
Please. This would be so cool. A belt then having a mag or two as backups. Buddy of mine is also really looking forward to something like this.
TheMutedBalaclava
He answered this 2 comments up. Basically: too complex to be done.
I still love this guys for bringing in the goodies!

How do I get the Long barrel? I can only get the standard and para ones
Tron Author
Those are the two barrels it comes with.
ax23
Suppressed M249, that's some good stuff.
Kaganari
I sometimes get those empty belt's parts flying slowly from the weapon and in exactly that position. It happens 1-2 times through the whole 100-round box. Not a huge deal, but a bit annoying)
Other than that it's amazing work, it's a thing of beauty, thank you!
Tron Author
The belt is designed to shed off pieces as links are fired. I'm assuming you might be running something like declutterer with its performance physics option turned on? Normally these belt pieces will just fly off very quickly as you're shooting the weapon. They are affected by gravity. So it would seem that something that is changing physics in your game is affecting that.
Kaganari
Yeah, I do run the Declutter, but no physics changes. See the settings under the spoiler.
I turned off the Declutter altogether and restarted the game to check if it is the reason (that's why it is turned off on the screenshot, it was ON when I wrote the original comment) and, well, I can see small pieces of belt flying off, but the big chunks are still there. They are now moving faster, but still, couple of them appear anyway. See the first screenshot under the spoiler.
Are they intended? Because they kinda look weird flying without changing it's orientation in the air at all)
Tron Author
Hmm. Yeah they are intended to fly off very quickly in an actual raid, so it should be harder to notice. And they shouldn't be getting stuck like that. Could be hideout thing. Either way, not entirely sure that's something we can fix on our end unfortunately.
