Just can't seem to find a build that's effective enough on Heroic with lmg as a primary weapon. Seems lmg are outclassed by smg, rifle and assault rifle completely, especially now hunters fury seems the meta for pve.

Actually if you have the right Providence pieces and Contractor's gloves, you can build a crazy effective crit LMG build that melts. Depending on my mood, I either use Bullet King or an Infantry MG5 with Fast Hands which rips hard. It's an all red DPS build with Gunner as the specialization for the large magazine pouch.
I'd do screenshots for you right now but I'm on the road till Sunday Night or Monday Morning. I'm certain other LMG lovers will chime in though with their specific builds. :)
Thanks, I've looked at providence pieces before but will take a nose again today. My base damage is 160k on m60 with chc 47 and chd 107 at the mo
With those numbers have you tried the Pestilence? if you have one.
The after de-buff damage tick should be very high on top of it's base damage, it can go upto 600K to a mil extra damage.
As for builds. as above poster has said if you want pure damage and Crit Providence.
Also (contractors gloves and Walker harris )Walker harris gives an extra 5% weapon damage on top of the 15% max roll on it for one piece and for 2 piece you get a +5% damage to armour.) so that pairs up with contractors Gloves that has +8% damage to armour.
You also have Groupo and Ceska (both either CHC or CHD pieces) good thing is you only need one piece for those.
Then look at damage/Crit dealing Talents, Obliterate/Vigilance/Composure etc etc.
PS: If you like the M60 then the Named Good Times is one to get as well (Perfect Fast hands i think)
I've had zero luck with the pestilence drop and it's driving me nuts lol. I do heroic missions all the time and zippo, get a bunch or tartigrade and other nonsense but pestilence nope, lady death nope. I have all the stuff for smg build that crits for 1m but just don't like smgs, just curious how lady death works really.
Bullet King with a 3pc Strikers is my go-to raid build. The 3pc gives you a 15% RoF increase and with BK you don't reload, so its DPS is very high. Running a Petrov (10% LMG dmg) backpack with Companion (15% weapon dmg boost when within 5m of an ally) with a fixer drone for one skill to both proc Companion and give me some minor healing, and also a restorer hive that I toss out near where I am to give even more healing. Vest is also a Petrov, with Unbreakable for whenever you make a mistake, and the 2nd pc of Petrov gives me 10% weapon handling, which is very useful for an LMG that sprays a lot.
If you feel you don't need the safety net of Unbreakable, feel free to substitute Braced on the vest instead, so that you land a LOT more of your rounds from the Bullet King. I added a Coyote mask to get my CHC/CHD #s up, and its by far my fave LMG build that I've managed to put together.
Cheers guys, some good ideas and I do have an almost god roll bullet King so will have a play around later and post back.
my best LMG build is a negotiator dillema one with a stoner lmg , 200 bullets of pure stability that does average 3 x 500k damage a bullet , its the one i use to kill the hunters solo on summit.
i have another one with a 3 piece striker gear set and the pestilence , not as good but also fun to play.
Stoner LMG with 4 piece True Patriot and Coyote mask is my go to. 260 rounds in the mag can put out some damage.
