The XMG-155 is a light machine gun available to Nanite Systems Operatives. It is unlocked through purchase with Certification Points or Daybreak Cash.

The XMG-155 is the highest-capacity machine gun available to operatives. Alongside its large magazine size, the XMG-155 also totes a far more favorable damage fall-off than the XMG-100 before it, although this comes at the cost of hip accuracy and rate-of-fire.

A flash suppressor makes the shooter less visible to the enemy, but increases the range at which you appear on enemy minimaps by 15 meters.
Heavy Barrel

49 OR 100
A heavy barrel reduces cone of fire bloom by 20% while aiming down sights, but reduces aim down sights movement speed by 20%.
Short Barrel

49 OR 100
This shortened barrel reduces cone of fire bloom by 40% when firing from the hip, and increases vertical recoil by 20% while aiming down sights.
Rail
Angled Forward Grip

49 OR 100
An angled forward grip reduces the vertical recoil of the first shot in a burst by 60%, but increase the side to side recoil of a weapon by 10%.

49 OR 100
A forward grip increases control of the weapon, reducing horizontal recoil by 25%, but increases equip time by 0.15 sec.
Laser Sight

49 OR 100
A laser sight increases the user's hipfire accuracy by 33%.
Ammo
High Velocity Ammunition

49 OR 100
High Velocity Ammunition increases the weapon's projectile velocity by 10% and minimum damage range by 20 meters, but reduces the weapon's maximum damage range by 2 meters.
Soft Point Ammunition

49 OR 100
Soft Point Ammunition increases the weapon's maximum damage range by 5 meters, but reduces its projectile velocity by 10%.
