Battlefield 1
— In-game description
Singleplayer
The M1909 Benét-Mercié is one of several weapons equipping the Harlem Hellfighters during the campaign prologue, Storm of Steel.
Multiplayer
Three variants of the M1909 Benét-Mercié are featured in Battlefield 1 for the Support kit, both of which retain much of their damage over distance, and are accurate and controllable. Additionally, the reload of the M1909 is very quick compared to other LMGs. This is offset by a somewhat slower rate of fire compared to other LMGs. Selective fire is available, although LMGs in Battlefield 1 benefit from increasing accuracy with sustained fire.
M1909 Benét-Mercié Storm
The M1909 Benét-Mercié Storm variant is operated with a foregrip attachment and iron sights. Like all Light Machine Guns in Battlefield 1, the M1909 has the ability to equip Anti-Aircraft sights in place of normal iron sights.
M1909 Benét-Mercié Telescopic
The Telescopic variant is fitted with a tripod for supported shooting, in addition to a medium-power scope. This grants the weapon superior accuracy at a distance compared to its other versions.
M1909 Benét-Mercié Optical
The Optical variant is fitted-with a foregrip and a medium-powered scope. It also has lower spread increase per shot than other variants.
