PKP Pecheneg
Talk5this wiki
Redirected from Pecheneg
Added by PresidentEden78The PKP Pecheneg is a modernized version of the PKM machine gun, designed to be more accurate with the use of a non-interchangeable air-cooled barrel while firing the same 7.62x54mm round of the PKM. Named for the ancient settlers of Russia, the Pecheneg is capable of mounting telescopic sights to further improve its accuracy over range. Unlike the PKM, the weapon's barrel is not detachable, but it can still use the same box magazines that can hold 100, 200, or even 250 rounds of ammunition. The weapon also retains the same tripod mounting mechanism as the PKM, but it is more suited in the light machine gun role.

Main weapon |
In Battlefield 3, the PKP Pecheneg is first seen used in the Operation Métro gameplay trailer with a PK-A 3.4x scope.
SingleplayerEdit
It is first found during the Singleplayer campaign in Operation Guillotine as the mounted weapon in the two PLR MG nests near the canal.
Several PLR insurgents are armed with the PKP in the mission Comrades to hold off both French police and GRU.
It can also be picked up from fallen bodyguards situationed inside the villa during the mission, Kaffarov.
MultiplayerEdit
It is the fifth unlock for the Support kit at 60,000 Support points. It is best used with the bipod deployed, as without it, the PKP Pecheneg has some noticeable vertical recoil. However, recoil can be countered by firing the weapon in bursts or by attaching a foregrip, which dramatically reduces vertical drift. The PKP's iron sights are quite obstructive; optics are recommended for cleaner shots.

TriviaEdit
- The Pecheneg in multiplayer has different ironsights than that of singleplayer and co-op, the sights being more aligned in multiplayer than in the other modes.
- Strangely, in single-player and co-op, the PKP never utilizes a bipod, unlike other LMGs in the game. However, this is compensated by its very high accuracy in campaign and co-op.
- In the singleplayer campaign it's used as a mounted weapon, but when picked up by the player it doesn't have a bipod.
- In the Beta the Pecheneg lacked the 'PKP'.
