Overview of the KTS 100 Mark 8 build, including attachments like the flash comp, heavy mag, rail cover, and sights, plus how the setup feels in practice.

BF6 fans, the KTS 100 Mark 8 LMG dominates with ridiculous TTK and controllable recoil, making it the go-to choice for mid-range spray and flank plays.

Summary

In this Battlefield 6 showcase, jackfrags declares the KTS 100 Mark 8 the best light machine gun in BF6, marking it as a standout pick after leveling it up to 12 and testing it on Eastwood. He highlights the weapon’s extremely low time-to-kill and surprisingly easy recoil control, even when the setup is not fully optimized with suppressors. The build uses the new flash comp attachment, a heavy 60-round drum, polymer ammo (once level 15), a faster-draw rail cover, and a two- to four-range sight consideration, with the two-range option initially chosen to gauge mid-range viability. Throughout the gameplay, he demonstrates aggressive, flank-heavy play, leveraging the LMG’s stability to trade well against an enemy SMG and even suppress enemy armor to steady his pushes. Jackfrags also takes moments to reflect on community feedback, spontaneous in-game moments, and classic gamer nostalgia, including references to GoldenEye and past BF titles. The session emphasizes map feel, map-specific gun fit, and the importance of not just raw damage but reliable control, which makes this LMG a strong pick for varied engagement ranges on BF6’s dynamic maps. Finally, he teases a more complete build guide by promising to share a full loadout on screen and hints at future testing with suppressors and polymer ammo as he levels the weapon further. This video blends hands-on gameplay with practical setup notes, offering both a verdict and a template for players chasing serious battlefield performance.

Bye-bye. He jumped. Not today, buddy. I think he had an M4. I beat him there. I mean, look at that. That's crazy. This thing here, the KTS 100 Mark 8 is the best number one light machine gun in Battlefield 6. And I've just noticed that. Look, you can actually see the bullet at the top of the magazine there. That's some cool attention to detail. So, I got this to like level 12. I hadn't really used it that much, but I went on the meta website and this is number one. Now, this build here, it isn't the best it can be. I mean, I don't have a suppressor with it being level 12, but cuz I've got this blueprint or whatever you'd call it. It's got some of the later attachments on it. And yeah, I was just having a little play around with this. The time to kill is ridiculous, especially when you consider how easy the recoil is to control on this. It's insane. So, we're going to use this today and see exactly how good it is. I mean, I realized, too, I don't think I've ever done a proper light machine gun video yet on BF6, which is an absolute travesty. And I'm going to put that right today. We're going to see if we can get some kills on the go, get some nice flanks, and murder people. In terms of this build here, we've got the new flash comp weapon attachment. We've got the heavy extended vertical 60 round mag. That's the drum there. Standard ammo. I think the meta is to run the polymer maybe. I need to be 15 for that. So, a few more levels. And then the rail cover, which is faster draw speed. Yeah, there we go. And the sight. I wasn't sure. So, I was thinking maybe if I go for like a one to 4x variable, which I could do cuz with an LMG, maybe you want to kind of be at that medium range more often than not. But I went for a two just to see. We'll start with the two and see how we go with that. With that said, let's jump into a game now. Drop me a like below, guys. Thank you. Let's get it. I really fancied playing Eastwood. I've not played that in a while. I've done a lot of Hogen base and Contaminated recently, but Eastwood, where is it? Saints Quarter. It's not a real map, is it? Let's be honest. I want to say thanks again, too, for all the great comments on the last few BF6 gameplay videos. So, you guys have been dropping your experiences, I suppose, with the channel and saying how long you've been watching for. And there was one from Timmy Mallet here who said, "I started watching you when my wife and I were in hospital with our first child. She's studying for her GCSEs now this week." So that's 16. So Timmy Mal has been around for 15 16 years cuz your GCSEs are the exams that you do at the end of school before you go off into like six formal college in the UK. So that's awesome. I'm glad that I could uh entertain you. Timmy Mallet. Timmy Mallet was like a TV presenter as well in the 80s or 90s or something. I remember watching it when I was a kid. Whatever. And there was another one from GoGo who said, "I think you're the first English-speaking YouTuber I subscribed to back in early BF3 days." So that would have been 2011. And because of that, you played a genuine big role in my English comprehension skills that I carried through all of my scholarship. That's really nice. And hopefully I could help in some way with your English comprehension. Yeah, it's been really nice, rewarding reading through all those comments. And yeah, really appreciate that. The last video was about the P92 and I mentioned in that video that the first time I saw that gun was probably Stargate and a lot of people agreed with me, but there were quite a few other people too who said the first time I saw it was in Golden Eye and I'd completely forgotten about this. The Golden Eye is one of my favorite games ever, but Golden Eye had something in it called the RCP90. Where's this guy going? He's going backwards. So, it was called the RCP90 and it was a very fast firing submachine gun and you could actually dual wield it. And if you had that, it was game over. The time to kill on that was just crazy. So, shout out to Golden Eye for that one, too. Oh my god, that helicopter's come down quick. The match is only Look, we haven't even Okay, there's the first tickets. Maybe I jump out here. So, with this LMG, I mean, look at that. It barely moves, man. It barely moves. I thought this could be a good map for it, too, cuz of all the different engagement ranges. What are these lads doing? El Roberto 666. What's going on? I feel like I need to watch this guy. He's off into the war. Is that enemy helicopter or friendly? I can't see it, man. Imagine if this map had jets on it. Maybe that'd be a bit too much. Not quite big enough for that, is it? Little pro tip, too. I don't know if they've actually sped up the speed of the sledgehammer, but if they haven't, if you've got the sledgehammer, you can get your class gadget out. In this case, engineers, the repair tool, and that's the same speed as the knife. Where do we go? We got a tank here. So, I know I've got a bit of armored support on this side of the map. That's going to be crazy in there with the LMG. If I can get some flanks on the go. Couple guys here. Is there anyone there? Right there underneath. I mean, that's very quick. Really quick. I could read this tank a bit. Getting past that mark there. Oh, watch out. They got that objective. No, everything is exploding right now. Shall I go underneath and around? Oh, attack. Where's he? Okay. I mean, that's an easy kill. Is he trying to repair it? Yeah, now he's dead. Bye-bye. Two guys down here. I mean, that's nice. I mean, I want to get the res here, but no smoke. Let's give it a go. Drag him back. Stay down, buddy. Not sure where those shots were. Guy right there on the stairs. Did he kill him again? Yeah, he did. Okay, not a bad start so far. I feel like it's quite a comfortable gun this I feel quite comfortable with it. Going to attack heroes back up. Oh, just missed the tail there. Close. We're losing B. The traverse is in. The traverse is out. Is it dead? Yeah, it's just bugged. Okay, they had the icon stayed on the screen there for a second. There's someone on the mini map. I set myself ablaze. I'm going to put a mine down here just in case. This guy here, very fast. Very, very quick. Friendly. Oh, come on. Did he jump out? Wait, I can beam that guy surely. He was trying his best to avoid me. Jesus, that's a rocket. Where's that come from? I'm staying down here, mate. Is it gone? It might have been a vehicle back there. I'm going to go back to the point. Gunfire up ahead. Uh-oh. Yes. See there? I feel like I almost lost that, but the KTS outperformed. I reckon that guy had an SMG. What is it? Yeah, SMG. And here's someone on the other side of this wall. There's the reload. Where is he? Hello. Got to be here. Peekaboo. I'm not sure if you heard me. Anti-air there. Try and hit that. Yeah, got it. Jeep here. Oh, I'm enjoying this gun, man. This suits my play style perfectly on this map. Level 15 as well. So, I can put the polymer ammo on it now, too. I'm just constantly looking at the mini map and what the hell just remember no information is information on the mini map. I do need ammo though. He just jumped up. There's another one. Fishing. I was completely off with the tracking though up here. Friendly enemy. Oh, little duck there. Throw him off. Are we all friendlies here now? I don't want to get murdered by that attack helicopter. I would love some ammo. Can I get some ammo, please? See proximity chat. Ammo. Thank you. Sometimes you don't need proximity chat to convey a message. Often you do. Right. They're pushing in. Hold this angle. Maybe there's a Jeep. God, that's fine. I'll try and res. There's an IFV coming though. And we're back in the cover. Yeah, we're back in cover. More rockets. Mine down If that hears the IF, it's going to go off. I'm just trying to hold the front line here while they're pushing. Play an angle. Squad's pushing in a bit. They're dying. Probably a lot of enemies then. Yeah, behind. No, I'm going to move. I'm changing position here. Don't like this. I'm going to go to the low ground and see if I can flank them. Push down here. Little bit of cover. I'm sure there's someone on the right though. Traverses there. There's a little pocket here. Look at the man. He's dead. He's gone there. Nah, not going to win that. Let's get some hard cover. Chill here for a sec. Watch out, mate. Transport's on the way. Right there. I was saved by a gray. I mean, can I hit this? Oh, why did I hit fire? Oh, he's firing at me. I mean, this is what you can do with the LMGs, right? You can just shoot the helicopters. Sustain fire. It's going to put him off at least. Did he get with the rocket? Oh, nice shot, mate. Very good. And even if you're not killing them, you're putting down a lot of suppression there. So, they can't heal. They can't auto heal. That's how suppression works in this game. Anyway, something else I forgot to mention at the start. Apparently, War Thunder's got infantry combat now, but I don't know how to play it. How do I actually get that? So, I want to try that out and see if it's any good. He is a weird flag, isn't it? Just nothing here. Is there something here at the start? Uh-oh. Ow. I'm showing them how D is a weird flag. I'm just being annihilated by the attack helicopter. Come on. Come on. Come on. Someone else got it. If he's coming. Yes. Come on into my web. Come on. Bye-bye. You jumped. Not today, buddy. I I mean, look at that. That's crazy. We have lost C though when I came to D. I'll try and get this traverse. Bosch. Very nice. Move in. I thought we had C lock down. Obviously not. I mean, you throw in a couple of head shots there and it's over. Friendly. Let's push in a bit. Oh, just deleted. There's still a guy here, isn't there? Yeah. I don't like that flashlight. My teammate got my back there. They're going to come through there. The shining carpet. THERE'S A MINE THERE. NO. OKAY, I got that shot then. SCW10. Don't know if I can beat that. Might get a res though. Cesco, if you just look down to your left, buddy. Frog King. Frog King, you're a legend. Love you. And we got C back, too. Nice. I want to really test the range of it. What's the limit? What is it? Cuz you can always tap fire. God. Rockets coming in here. No, I think the vehicles are just camping by there, right? That's why they're losing though. You got to be careful, Mikey boy. Is he going to make it? Oh, he's going for it. Go on. No, I'm scared. Oh no, he didn't make it. We live though. That poor soul did not rip. We got a GP we can use as cover. Just checking the angles. There's definitely a vehicle back there somewhere. Push in. Nobody here. What about if we go on the roof? Nice. Get on the point. I hit them. There's one. Oh no, I stopped shooting. I thought I'd killed him. Ah, I transferred too quick. Look at this AA and tank. These guys should be pushing up. I mean, the traverser is right here. Fair play to that guy. Wonder why I threw the grenade. If he stays there, there's a guy that's going to push around the corner in a sec. And I'm going to prone. You need to watch out. Frog King. Okay, Frog King absolutely annihilated him. Frog King doesn't need to watch out for anything except other frogs that might be coming after his territory. Not easy being a frog king. Oh, they flanked. Little jump there. There's another one. Oh, man. You're an enemy. Are you resing? You are resing. Clear. Yeah, we're good. Oh, I could have got the frog king. I think he skipped. I mean, that's showing the potential of the gun right there. That AA vehicle. Can I give him a little boop? Ah, I wasn't reloaded. I'm going to give you a boot, mate. Blow. And the RPGs in this game travel so quick. I mean, I know that's a hit. Yeah. On your head, mate. Even in that close range, you know, that last engagement I had, it outperformed a lot of those players, though. Going to meet some enemies head on here, I think. Use this tree. I mean, I'm not even Okay. Yeah, this this is the best LMG in the game by by far. That is wild. Like, I wasn't even tap firing or anything there. There's a guy here I mean, maybe the DRS, but that I know it's in the LMG category, but it's kind of like an assault rifle, isn't it? That enemy. I'm not hearing things. I thought I was hearing things on the rock. Where'd you go? Cat and mouse. I'm assuming he's here. I don't There's a tree stump. I don't know where that guy went. I mean, I'm not hearing things that aren't there, but maybe I'm seeing things that aren't there. I'm sure I saw a guy on that rock. Never mind. Come on, boys. Yeah, we're going to go to E. I couldn't do it as an infantry man. I'm going to see if we can do it in this thing. That a toe. A tow rocket. Uh-oh. Okay, that's done. Sorry guys. Gave us a bit of cover. Bro's just been sat there the whole game living the dream. I'd love to get some C4 and just sneak up to him, blow him up. That'd be good. The AA vehicle there. See him on the mini map. He's like there somewhere. I don't think you can destroy that wall, mate. I think it's over. We got the point. Come on. There we go. Oh, no, buddy. That's an easy one. Not going to miss that. Wait, they're taking it back. There's one ticket. Ah, I know. I wanted a scrap. Last minute scrap on the point. Yeah, that LMG is ridiculous. Really, really good. Very good. Easily the best LMG. They weren't lying. I really like that map, too. I think it's a fun map. We got it up to level 19. So, I've almost got the suppressor. Yeah, you get the suppressor at 23. Yeah, I'd whack the polymer ammo on there. I think you'd want the slim hand stop, too. I just unlock that. Lightning suppressor tends to be the meta. I think that's about it. Like I said, I'll put the full build on the screen so you can see it. But that gun is nuts. Very, very good. I mean, I wasn't charging in like crazy there. You know, I was trying to think about my engagements a little bit more. I don't know if that came across in the game play, but as long as you're aware of your limitations when you're using an LMG, you can dominate with this easy. Anyway guys, thank you so much for watching. Appreciate you being here. Absolute beam this. Look at this. Yeah, drop me a like below. Thank you. And a comment. That would be incredible. Subscribe if you're new here. And I'll see you next time. Bye-bye.
