Dead Rising 2 | Dead Rising 3 | Dead Rising 4 |
The Light Machine Gun, or LMG, is a weapon in Dead Rising 2 and Dead Rising 2: Off the Record.
With its power, fire rate, and ammo count, it is capable of clearing zombies and Psychopaths with ease.
The LMG can be combined with:
- A Robot Bear to create the Freedom Bear
- An Electric Chair to create the Blitzkrieg
- A Dirtbike to create the Machine Gun Bike
It is used by Dwight Boykin, and its ammo count is doubled if the player is wearing the Soldier of Fortune Skills Pack. The Soldier of Fortune Skills Pack also increases Chuck Greene's accuracy and adds a unique firing animation when fired while stationary.

Trivia[]
- The LMG is one of 6 weapons that does not spawn if the player is already carrying one. The other weapons are: Magician Sword, Shopping Valuables, Giant Pink Chainsaw, Rocket Launcher (from World's Most Dangerous Trick), and the Six Shooter. All magazines also have this restriction.[4]
- In spite of this, a loophole exists allowing two LMGs to be carried at once. Because two spawn in the Yucatan Casino and picking up one will not despawn the other, both can be taken when Case 4-2: Run for the Money has been reached.
- As survivors will use the LMG and the game does not check if a survivor is holding one, the 1 item limit of the LMG, Six Shooter, and Magician Sword can be circumvented by giving it to a survivor, leaving & re-entering the spawn area and picking up another one. This allows the player to have up to 9 of either weapon (10 in Dead Rising 2 if the LMG's Yucatan spawns are used).
- The LMG is modelled after the M249 PARA, an American variant of the Belgian FN Minimi.
- The items.txt game file for Dead Rising 2 refers to the LMG as the M249.
- Boykin's machine gun will not spawn if Chuck has one of his own, even after defeating him.[4]
- In Dead Rising 2: Off the Record, the spawn point at the top of the center pyramid now has an assault rifle and the one above Cash Gordon is replaced by a sniper rifle. The spawn points in the Palisades grotto and Yucatan vault have been removed. The LMG's location in the Yucatan is moved to the elevated shrubbery between the Food Court exit and Baron Von Brathaus.
