- "Fully automatic machine guns. Akimbo only. Increased fire rate and accuracy in lockdown mode."
- — In-game description
The XMG is a dual-wielded heavy weapon in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare; it is only available in multiplayer and Exo Survival.
Multiplayer
The XMG (referred to as exoxmg in the game files) is a pair of automatic heavy machine guns, one wielded on each arm. Their combined rate of fire allows for powerful close quarters firepower; however, without the laser sight attachment, the player will struggle to hit anything out of close quarters. A "lockdown" mode on the Exoskeleton is available to maximize stability and accuracy, as well as increasing the rate of fire, but at the cost of no movement, essentially making the user a human turret. The best position to fire without locking in is stationary crouching, which reduces spread. When the player entrenches the reticule tightens dramatically, allowing the player to out range SMGs, at the cost for movement, however the bullets can still stray off target even in entrenched mode. The November 20th update removed all recoil in the lockdown mode, further tightened the lockdown spread, and increased damage, making the XMG a much more effective weapon.
The XMG are mounted on the underside of the user's forearm. When entrenched, the barrels extend and fire faster. The weapon model shows an optic attachment on each gun, but they are unusable by the player, as the XMGs are always dual wielded.
It is possible to enter lockdown mode when in the air, which allows the player to move around freely until they land on the ground. As well, it is possible to go in Lockdown mode while using Exo Hover, making the player a floating turret.
It should be noted that the XMG will not reload faster when using the speed reload ability, but the current ammo in the magazine will still be discarded, wasting it on nothing.
