In multiplayer, it is the default light machine gun issued to the MEC Support kit. It features a 150 round box magazine (with 300 rounds in reserve). It has a good fire rate, range and power, but lacks in accuracy, so farther targets will be harder to kill. It can kill in about 10 or so hits. Like all LMGs, it has a long reload, but this is balanced by its large capacity.

In multiplayer, the Type 88 LMG is the third light machine gun issued to the Medic kit requiring 8,600 points to unlock. Its magazine is on the larger side, with 200 rounds in it. It has relatively controllable recoil and is a great weapon for continuous suppressing fire. The Type 88 LMG is extremely similar to and nearly outclassed by the PKM, which has a higher damage per shot at the expense of magazine size.

SingleplayerEdit
The Type 88 LMG is highly found in the campaign missions, Kaffarov and The Great Destroyer. It is very rare, but it does appear in other levels, and even frequently in some. One version of the Type 88 LMG in Kaffarov is prefered by many specialists for its Thermal Vision scope. This gun, along with the said specialization is found around the second concrete wall after you steal the Sniper from the guard on the first area. Several guards inside the pool house are also seen wielding this weapon, but without attachments.
Co-OpEdit
It is found on Co-Op mission The Eleventh Hour inside the first ticket booth.
MultiplayerEdit
In multiplayer, the weapon was only available through the Physical Warfare Pack, which was originally only for pre-orders, but is now a free download on all consoles. The weapon cannot be unlocked by any other means of normal progression in multiplayer.
Compared with the "starter kit" such as the M27 IAR or RPK-74, the Type 88 LMG has the advantage of being a "proper" machine gun, with 100 rounds standard and 200 with extended mag, ideal for suppressive fire role where a support class player can really shine, and even better for a beginner of the role.GalleryEdit

TriviaEdit
- It is unusual that the Type 88 LMG is the standard Russian machine gun in the campaign of Battlefield: Bad Company 2 due to the PKM - which is made and used by the Russian Military - fulfilling that role in the first Battlefield: Bad Company, considering it was the MEC's standard LMG in the previous game.
- In Battlefield: Bad Company 2, the weapon had the same damage as the PKM before a patch reduced it by two points.
