In-Game Description

The PKM makes a return in Far Cry 4.

It has heavy damage, a large magazine, and a high fire rate, along with decent accuracy. However, it has massive recoil, which, when combined with its obtrusive iron sights, makes aiming very difficult. As such, it is recommended to hipfire at closer ranges, and try to burst-fire at longer ranges. Its reload is a little bit longer when compared to the other LMGs, though not by much. It can be found on Heavy Gunners or bought from the store after the tutorial. Overall, this gun is an excellent early-game choice.

The signature version of the PKM is called the Driller, which is only available with the game's season pass. If the player has the season pass, the weapon is unlocked after the player is able to start exploring Kyrat at the beginning of the game. The Driller has improved damage capabilities over the regular PKM and comes equipped with an extended magazine, and an optical sight, which makes the weapon easier to use as well compared to the regular version. Because the Driller is unlocked at the start of the game, it is essentially a poor man's Buzzsaw. While not being the instant-kill death machine the Buzzsaw is, the Driller still holds it's own in combat, being a truly fearsome weapon until the aforementioned Buzzsaw can be obtained in the north. The Driller is arguably one of the best weapons in the entire game, delivering massive damage with a huge amount of ammo and range to boot, only being held back by the lack of a suppressor, and long reload times.
