The LSAT is a light machine gun that appears in Call of Duty: Black Ops II, Call of Duty: Strike Team, and Call of Duty: Ghosts.

Call of Duty: Black Ops II[]

"Fully automatic LMG. Versatile and strong overall."

— Description.

Multiplayer[]

The LSAT is unlocked at level 13.

At any range short of 35 meters, the LSAT will deal forty damage per bullet, needing three shots to kill. At any range between 35 and 75 meters, the LSAT will deal 33 damage per bullet, needing four shots to kill. At any range past 75 meters, the LSAT will deal 24 damage per bullet, needing five shots to kill, or two in Hardcore. The LSAT does twenty percent extra damage on a headshot. Headshots are useless at all ranges in Hardcore, and headshots in Core are only helpful past 35 meters, where a single headshot will reduce the number of shots needed to kill by one. The LSAT has high penetration power.

The LSAT fires fully automatically, at a rate of 750 RPM.

The LSAT has recoil values of 47.5 to the left, 47.5 to the right, 55 upwards, and 35 downwards. The LSAT has a centerspeed value of 1750 when standing, 1925 when crouching, or 2100 when in the prone position.

The LSAT allows users to move at ninety percent of the base movement speed, or strafe at 32% of the base movement speed. The LSAT takes 450 milliseconds to aim down the sights, and the hip-fire accuracy is poor. The LSAT's reload animation is seven seconds long. The user can perform a Reload Cancel after 4.8 seconds.

The LSAT has a belt capacity of 100 rounds. The LSAT has a starting ammo loadout of 300 rounds.

A unique aspect to note about the LSAT is a digital ammo counter. It is located near the belt, and is visible whenever the user has the LSAT out and is not aiming down the sights. This ammo counter always shows the correct amount of bullets remaining in the belt, and is active even when the user is suffering from the effects of an EMP. This ammo counter is extremely useful in Hardcore as it provides a key contextual HUD element the player otherwise does not have access to.

The LSAT has the standard assortment of LMG attachments available to it. All attachments work as expected on the LSAT.

The LSAT appears in the pre-made class "Heavy Gunner", with a Target Finder, FMJ, and a Quickdraw Handle.

Zombies[]

It can be acquired through the Mystery Box in Nuketown Zombies, Mob of the Dead, and Cell Block for 950 points. The LSAT appears in Buried as a wall weapon for 2000 points. Like the multiplayer version, the LSAT retains its high ammo capacity (which is increased from 200 to 400) and high damage. These traits are offset by the weapon's long reload time. As such, Speed Cola is a useful perk if being pursued by a large horde of zombies. Because of the lack of Stamin-Up in both Nuketown Zombies and Mob of the Dead, one must switch to a lighter weapon in order to be at a distance from zombies due to its low mobility rate. In Buried, however, Stamin-Up is now featured, which now benefits increased mobility speed with the LSAT without the worry of switching to a lighter weapon. Consequently, this makes Electric Cherry another good choice when swarmed, as it gives some protection from zombies. Even though it has exceptional range in terms of damage, it is not recommended for close quarters engagements as zombies can easily overwhelm the player if they are not able to avoid them in time.

When Pack-a-Punched via the Pack-a-Punch Machine, it becomes the FSIRT. It retains its 100-round magazine with an increased reserve ammo capacity of 600. It is also one of the weapons that can be Pack-a-Punched multiple times to cycle through attachments such as the Target Finder, ACOG Sight, Foregrip, and Reflex Sight.

Location in Buried[]

In Buried, the LSAT is located on a catwalk above the initial starting area. A precisely timed jump is required to climb up onto the catwalk. The LSAT costs a hefty 2000 points, and can only be purchased by a player precisely once as the catwalk will collapse soon after climbing it. The player must rely on Max Ammo power-ups and the effects of Vulture Aid to manage the high ammo capacity of the LSAT. If the player manages to hold on to the LSAT long enough to Pack-a-Punch it into the FSIRT, they will unlock the FSIRT Against the Wall achievement/trophy.

Call of Duty: Strike Team[]

The LSAT reappears in Call of Duty: Strike Team.

Gallery[]

Call of Duty: Ghosts[]

"Fully automatic. High rate of fire with advanced recoil compensation."

— Description.

The LSAT returns in Call of Duty: Ghosts.

Campaign[]

The Federation troops wield LSATs throughout the campaign. Logan Walker uses the LSAT in "Severed Ties" without attachments.

Multiplayer[]

The LSAT costs 8 Squad Points to unlock.

At any range short of 22.5 meters, the LSAT will deal 38 damage per bullet, needing three shots to kill. Damage decreases linearly until 44.8 meters. At any range past 44.8 meters, the LSAT will deal twenty damage per bullet, needing five shots to kill. The LSAT has a three shot kill range of 27.5 meters, and a four shot kill range of 38.6 meters. In Hardcore, the LSAT has a one shot kill range of 35.8 meters. The LSAT deals 35% extra damage on a headshot. Due to how the damage benchmarks play out, the LSAT will need multiple headshots to gain the benefit of a headshot, but they are normally helpful. The LSAT has high penetration power.

The LSAT fires fully automatically at a rate of 800 RPM.

The LSAT has recoil values of 50 to the left, 50 to the right, 50 upwards, and 15 downwards. The LSAT has a centerspeed value of 1300. The LSAT's recoil values are made 30% smaller on the first three shots in a burst. The LSAT is one of a few weapons in Ghosts that will make a distinct visual sway when transitioning from sprinting to aiming down the sight. It is extremely notable on the LSAT as the entire gun twirls around visually for about a second before the user can clearly see their true point of aim. Using Ready Up can alleviate this partly, although it will still be present.

The LAST allows users to move at 80% of the base movement speed, or strafe at 32% of the base movement speed. The LSAT has an aim down sight time of 350 milliseconds, and the hip-fire accuracy is poor. The LSAT's reload animation is 8 seconds long, or 8.7 seconds long on an empty belt. In either case, the user can Reload Cancel after six seconds.

The LSAT has a belt capacity of 100 rounds. The LSAT has a starting ammo loadout of 200 rounds total.

The LSAT has the standard assortment of LMG attachments on offer. All attachments work as intended on the LSAT.

Extinction[]

The LSAT appears in the maps Nightfall and Mayday. On both maps, it costs $3000.

It has a very high damage output, good accuracy, and a large 100 round belt to work with, but it overall handles very sluggishly, so players that don't use the Weapon Specialist may find less use for this weapon overall. Its only competition on either map as far as LMGs go is the Chain SAW. Compared to it, the LSAT will have more ranged effectiveness and ranged precision, but the Chain SAW has better handling characteristics, vastly improved hip-fire accuracy, and a faster fire rate. The LSAT is the better choice for medium range combat and beyond, whereas the Chain SAW has the upper hand in CQC.

On Mayday, the LSAT can be of highly elevated importance due to the lack of medium-range weaponry on the map and the nature of the Kraken fight calling for medium range weaponry.

In the heat of battle, reloading the LSAT can be quite dangerous, and as such, one should be prepared to switch to his/her alternative weapons should a cryptid endanger the player mid-reload.

Locations[]

Nightfall: In the first area, inside the control room that is blocked by a Hive.
Mayday: In the second area, on a catwalk that's opened by side doors (either the optional door or the mandatory door). In the third area, in the back corner of the bio lab. If a hive is present in this corner, it must be destroyed first before the LSAT can be accessed.

Trivia[]

Call of Duty: Black Ops II[]

The digital ammo counter is not affected by EMP.
