"Experimental US weapon system based on the German G36 assault rifle. A highly accurate and dependable weapon with many "in the field" modification options. Despite its great performance, it never left the experimental phase."

— In game description.

The XM8 is an assault rifle featured in Battlefield: Bad Company.

Singleplayer[]

The XM8 is mostly used by the Legionnaire Mercenaries. It is first encountered as a collectible in Welcome to Bad Company, where the rest of the squad suggests Marlowe looks inside a small house. After that, it can be picked up from dead Mercenaries or in weapon collectible crates.

Multiplayer[]

The XM8 is issued to the Assault kit as an unlockable. It is fully automatic and its stats are seemingly average except for above average accuracy, making the XM8 very balanced. The weapon's only major downside is it's longer reload compared to the other assault rifles, but this can be mitigated by preforming a weapon switch to cut off the cocking animation. The XM8, like many other Assault Rifles, has open sights. It uses a 50-round magazine, with 150 rounds in reserve, and has a specialized grenade launcher, the XM320, attached to the weapon. It normally takes about 7-8 body shots to kill.
