In multiplayer, it is the default light machine gun issued to the MEC Supportkit. 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.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2Edit
In Battlefield: Bad Company 2's singleplayer, the Type 88 LMG (in-game name) is quite common among Russian Army soldiers and Bolivian Militiamen, and is very effective due to its low recoil and large magazine.
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.

Main weapon |

The Type 88 LMG is a Light Machine Gun featured in Battlefield 3. It can equip the same series of attachments as the other light machine guns, and like all light machine guns, it comes default with a Bipod.
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. It is also known to spawn on a body at the first multi-level section on Hit and Run.
MultiplayerEdit
The Type 88 LMG has medium damage, a medium rate of fire and manageable recoil, as well as clear iron sights. Even without the foregrip, the player can play with the Type 88 on the move effectively due its good capacity and controllable recoil, and with bipod deployed remains still effective, but not as effective in such manner as other machine guns like PKP Pecheneg or M249 that are better suited for suppressive fire.
Compared to the other two weapons unlocked at the beginning of the support kit, the M27 IAR and RPK-74, the gun has the advantage of having a larger magazine, with 100 rounds standard and 200 with extended mag, ideal for suppressive fire role where a support class player can really shine. That being said however, the Type 88 is relatively ineffective for suppressive fire compared to either the M249's higher rate of fire or the medium machine guns higher damage and suppression rates. It's main advantage lies in being the most controllable beltfed machine gun when not having the bipod deployed.

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.
- In Battlefield 3's 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 platforms.
