"Compact version of the XM8 rifle. Very light weight and designed as a personal defense weapon."
— In game description
In Battlefield: Bad Company, the XM8C is issued to the Specialist kit, and is classified as a compact assault rifle. It is fitted with a suppressor, and has a 60 round magazine with 180 rounds in reserve, as with many other weapons that can be used in the Specialist class. Aiming down the sights in BFBC with any submachine gun is not possible, including the XM8C, instead the view zooms in a slightly and the reticle becomes tighter.

In singleplayer, the XM8C can be found as a collectable in the level Crossing Over. It will be located on the roof of a building in the Harbor.

Possibly one of the best Specialist small arms in the game, it has a high rate of fire, decent damage, and can even be used effectively at longer distances. Due to its relatively medium range based stats, this weapon can over-power many weapons even from a distance, especially shotguns or other weapons from the Specialist class, although perhaps worse than other SMGs or shotguns at close range. Another one of its main downsides is that it has a slow, cumbersome reload much like the XM8 whereas other weapons will have slightly faster reloads which can make a major difference when caught in a hot zone. It is therefore probably a good idea to try and deal with any threats before taking cover and reloading. An interesting note about the weapon is that when you walk over an Assault Kit with this weapon, it replenishes your ammo. The XM8C is unlocked at the final level, 25, General of the Army, or included with the Gold Edition.

"This compact variation of the XM8 was designed by H & K for personal defense during close quarter battles. It also boasted modularity options allowing for repairs and barrel changes."
— In-game description

Only available in multiplayer, the XM8 Compact requires 2100 points with the Engineer kit. It can be equipped with a Red Dot Sight or a 4X Rifle Scope, although it has very clear and effective iron sights. It has moderate recoil, and comes equipped with a suppressor and 30 round magazine.

Its high rate of fire and moderate damage make it extremely effective at close range. However, if the weapon is fired in short bursts or single shots, it can be used very effectively in medium to long range firefights. When firing at medium range, it is recommended to aim for the chest as the recoil will track upwards to the head of the player's target, almost always resulting in a head shot.

The XM8c is the compact version of the XM8 assault rifle useable by the Engineer. It does not have the short range power of other SMGs, but the XM8c delivers both range and accuracy with moderate recoil.
