The Belt-Fed Magazine was introduced with the Season 2 Reloaded TMNT event. At first glance, the attachment looked amazing. It allowed players to shoot all their bullets without having to reload. However, to counter it, an overheating mechanism was introduced, which limited how long one could shoot continuously. Unfortunately, it soon turned out to be a major con.

LMGs started heating up way too quickly, and the cooldown period was too slow for the attachment to be viable. Needless to say, it fell quickly from grace, and players stopped using it in-game.

However, Call of Duty addressed these concerns in the latest patch and buffed the attachment to ensure these issues no longer plagued it.

After the latest update, with the Belt-Fed Magazine attachment equipped, Warzone and Black Ops 6 LMGs don't overheat quickly, don't take as long to cool down, and the ADS firing movement speed penalty is no longer in play. This means that users can not only carry more firepower with LMGs but are also more mobile on the battlefield.
