The TMG-50 is a light machine gun available to the Terran Republic. It is unlocked through purchase with Certification Points or Daybreak Cash.

The TMG-50 is an interesting departure from the typical Terran design philosophy. Trading raw fire-rate for increased damage-per-bullet, the TMG-50 becomes deadlier at range in the hands of a skilled sharpshooter, but also sacrifices magazine size for this privilege. Essentially serving as a scaled-up variant of the HC1 Cougar, the TMG-50's higher calibre round is capable of killing with headshots faster than most Terran weapons, and at longer ranges, but the weapon's minimum hip cone-of-fire values are unfavourable at the best of times, and its slower rate-of-fire punishes the weapon in close-quarters engagements.
