The MG-H1 Watchman is a light machine gun available to the Terran Republic. It is unlocked through purchase with Certification Points or Daybreak Cash.

The MG-H1 Watchman is a light machine gun released alongside the MGR-L1 Promise and VE-H Maw as part of a new series of empire specific weapons. Each seek to fill a gap in that faction's LMG lineup, and come with unique attachments. For the Watchman, this is Impact Ammunition.

Fulfilling a similar role to the TORQ-9 assault rifle, the Watchman is a highly accurate, fast firing machine gun that sacrifices raw damage to provide a far faster headshot time to kill over 143-damage light machine guns in the hands of a skilled shooter.
