- "Full-auto LMG with moderate recoil and fast fire rate. Fastest aim down sight in class."
- — Description
The MG 81 is a light machine gun featured in Call of Duty: WWII. It was added with the Operation Shamrock & Awe event. Its supposed main perk is that it aims down sight faster than other LMGs, however it's the same as most LMGs.

The MG 81 is available from the Mystery Box in all maps for 1,000 Jolts and from the Light Machine Gun Waffenbox in The Tortured Path for 4,250 Jolts. When upgraded either by the Ubersprengen or via the Freefire perk "MK. II" it becomes the Spandau Serenade gaining an increased base magazine increase to 90 rounds, maximum reserve ammo count of 600, damage increase and the ability to create an explosion around the player, when they preform an empty reload. The explosion is like the one from the Pommel of Barbarossa.
