On August 6, 1909, American firearms designer Melvin Johnson was born. His most famous designs, such as the M1941 Johnson rifle and the M1941 Johnson LMG, are already available in the game. This time, however, we’ve brought you a less widely known weapon, which is a further refined version of the latter!

From August 6th (13:00 UTC) to August 12th (13:00 UTC), you can get rewards for completing tasks.

Rewards

For completing 8 and 10 out of the 12 tasks, you will receive a unique M1944 Johnson LMG!

Phase 1 (August 6th - August 8th):

  • Kill 40 enemies using a machine gun.

  • Kill 80 enemies using a machine gun.
  • Kill 50 enemies using a vehicle.
  • Build rally points and deploy APCs that will be used 30 times.
  • Complete 4 battles.

Terms

  • The tasks can be completed in the Squads mode.
  • The list of tasks is updated every two days at 13:00 UTC.
  • Tasks can be completed simultaneously.
  • Uncollected rewards will disappear when the tasks change.

Problem is that I think It is just a Johnson reskin unless It is the T48 that is the same but belt feed

Should be BRV rifleman weapon
Why we need 2 johnson as same role in BRIV

I hope it’s not a reskin of the base Johnson lmg

Like I would both of the opposite sides of the spectrum for these two want a slower firing lmg in br3 this johnson want a higher firing one in br4 the TT one but if they’re the same than why give us this?

like the japanese type hei lmg?

Oh great. Another glorified reskin that nobody wants and will inevitably bloat the silver box to an even more outrageous extent. We can’t give a damn about the Johnson '41 LMG since it’s completely overtiered for the role it holds in the BR4-5 landscape and you expect us to play the game for it? You’re lucky that I have to be an active player to post on this forum otherwise I would quit in protest
