The PKM machine gun, while it may appear bulky and sluggish like other light machine guns (LMGs) in Delta Force, proves to be a formidable weapon for engagements at close to mid-range. Its hard-hitting rounds, fired at a deliberate rate, allow for impressive control while delivering significant damage to opponents.
Initially, players may find the PKM unwieldy. However, like the top assault rifles featured in Delta Force, this weapon transforms into a ruthlessly effective firearm once fully upgraded. Below, we outline an optimal configuration for utilizing the PKM effectively in both Warfare and Operations modes.
Optimal Low-Recoil PKM Loadout
A significant challenge with the PKM is its substantial kick when unmodified. However, by employing the right attachments, this recoil can be greatly reduced, allowing for a smoother shooting experience. This build focuses on enhancing control and stability, making the PKM more effective in close-quarters and dynamic firefights.

PKM Extended Magazine (Optional) |
This configuration shines in close-range engagements, particularly within a distance of about 30 meters. However, skilled players can extend its effectiveness up to 50 meters with precise control and discipline. The loadout is particularly suited for clearing confined spaces such as small rooms and tight hallways, especially if the extended magazine is utilized, making it user-friendly for newer players in Delta Force.
The attachments chosen aim to bolster vertical recoil control and firing stability. While the PKM does exhibit a slight tendency to veer left during firing, traditional horizontal recoil attachments like the Bastion compensator have minimal impact. Players are generally better off managing the leftward ascent while minimizing vertical movement.
To streamline the process, players can directly import this build by entering the following code in the Loadouts menu: PKM General Machine Gun-Warfare-6EPJKF006GGSVELMFER1R
Weapon Calibration for Enhanced Performance
Calibrating your equipment in Delta Force allows for a custom fit, enhancing weapon effectiveness. For the recommended build, consider the following calibration specifications:
- Barrel: +50g Weight (+4% Firing Stability, -4% ADS Movement Speed)
- Foregrip: +7 Slot Placement, +20mm Thickness (+16% Stability while Moving, +3.92% Extra Control, -4% ADS Movement Speed, -3.92% ADS Speed)
- Rear Grip: +50g Weight (+6% Extra Control, -18% Aiming Stability while Breathing)
- Stock: +3 Slot Stock Pad Placement, -3 Slot Cheek Pad Placement (+3.84% ADS Movement Speed, +3.84% Firing Stability, -4.80% ADS Speed, -15.36% Aiming Stability while Breathing)
