I am making this guide on my favorite LMG, the RPD. I has a huge ammunition, high accuracy, great firepower, and it is unlocked at level 4.
Attachments
Grip is by far the best attachment for the RPD. It helps with the bounciness of the gun and it is a guaranteed help in those spray n pray situations.
Silencer is something only to be used when camping. It takes you off the Radar when firing and it reduces range and damage by just a bit.
I believe the red dot is not a great attachment for this gun, because i believe the iron sight on it is already good and you can use a much more valuable attachment like Grip or FMJ.
Never use the ACOG scope. It ruins the gun and makes it almost useless.
This is the only sight i would use with the RPD. It gives great vision and it makes it, to me, very accurate.
FMJ is a great attachment for this gun giving it slightly raised power and it helps kill people who hide in cover.
I did not include thermal, because no one can handle it.
PERKS
The best perks are Sleight of Hand Pro to help you win a quick draw with fast ADS. It is also very useful to reload faster with this guns horrible reload time. Use Stopping power or Cold Blooded Pro as it is already very powerful, but you can make it a little more powerful or take yourself off the radar and have no crosshair on you. You decide. Ninja Pro is great to help you stay hidden from anyone with a Heartbeat sensor while keeping your footsteps silent.
Use Sleight of Hand Pro, Stopping Power or Cold Blooded Pro, and Commando or Ninja Pro. The best attachments are FMJ, Grip, and Holo sight.
MAPS
the maps i like to use this on are:
rundown-great views all around from the second floors of most buildings
afghan-again clear views all the way round the map
wasteland is good again for unobstructed view but because the RPD isn't very mobile it could take along time running from place to place
derail has some good camping spots although i may get flamed for saying. you can get some very good killstreaks with RPD with grip and silencer with ninja and a claymore.
the best thing to do is not completely camp but not run and gun either you need to be both offensive and defensive like moving round the map slowly but every so often holing up in a building for a safe and stable firing position
Rust some people have posted saying rust is good with the rpd and it its in terms of getting a long killstreak but the reload time even with sleight of hand is too long for a fast paced map like rust for me but each to his own.
BASIC STRATEGYS
Use this gun on more medium sized maps such as invasion or rundown, as it can help in taking out groups of people or stragglers. It is not to be used for running around like its a SMG. Treat it like a turret gun you can run around with.
