The PKP Pecheneg (Russian: ПКП Печенег) is a modernized version of the PKM machine gun designed by TsNIITochMash to be more accurate with the use of a non-interchangeable air-cooled barrel while firing the same 7.62x54mm round of the PKM.
Named after a tribe of Altaic nomads who previously inhabited the steppes, as well as Moldavia and Wallachia, the Pecheneg is capable of mounting telescopic sights to further improve its accuracy over range. Unlike the PKM, the weapon's barrel is not detachable but can still use the same box magazines that can hold 100, 200, or even 250 rounds of ammunition.
The weapon also retains the same tripod mounting mechanism as the PKM, but is more suited in the light machine gun role.
Battlefield Play4Free
— In game description
The Pecheneg is a primary weapon for the Medic kit. This machinegun with its cost of 5,499 funds is currently the most expensive weapon in the game.

Battlefield 3
— Battlelog description
The PKP Pecheneg is a weapon featured in Battlefield 3. It was first seen used in the Operation Métro gameplay trailer with a PK-A 3.4x scope.
Singleplayer
It is first found during the single-player campaign in Operation Guillotine as the mounted weapon in the two PLR MG nests near the canal.
Several PLR insurgents are armed with the PKP in the mission Comrades to hold off both French police and GRU.
It can also be picked up from fallen bodyguards situated inside the villa during the mission, Kaffarov.
Multiplayer
It is the fifth unlock for the Support kit at 60,000 Support points. The Pecheneg is in the middle of the pack with the high damage machineguns, with a slower rate of fire than the M240B and faster than the M60. The recoil is also more than the M60 and less than the M240B. The M60 and PKP are quite similar with the main difference being their different rate of fire.
The PKP shoots at a faster Rate of fire allowing for a more aggressive play while the M60 and its slower rate of fire allow for longer suppressing fire without the need to reload as soon. The PKP fairs reasonably well in close quarters, having similar performance to the UMP as far as damage, but the low accuracy shared among LMGs makes close quarters engagements risky.
Battlefield Premium members can equip the Woodland Stripe Camo for the PKP, or a Tactical Camo by completing the Pecheneg Specialist assignment, though they are entirely optional and aesthetic.

Battlefield 4
The PKP Pecheneg is a Light Machine gun featured in Battlefield 4.
Singleplayer
In the singleplayer mission Tashgar, it can be found on enemy support gunners. After picking it up it can be equipped in singleplayer missions by a Weapon Crate.
Multiplayer
The PKP is the third LMG to be unlocked and functions in a similar manner to the Battlefield 3 counterpart.

Trivia
- The reload animation for the Pecheneg is much more akin to the belt-fed LMG reload animations from Battlefield 3, which has the player pull the charging handle first and then change the magazine. That is unlike the rest of the belt-fed LMGs in Battlefield Play4Free, in which their reload animations are akin to the belt-fed LMG reloads in Battlefield: Bad Company 2, which happen the other way around.
- Strangely, in single-player and co-op, the PKP rarely utilizes a bipod, unlike other LMGs in the game. However, this is compensated by its very high accuracy in campaign and co-op.
- In the singleplayer campaign it's used as a mounted weapon, but when picked up by the player it doesn't have a bipod.
- In the Beta, the PKP Pecheneg lacked "PKP" in its name.
- The PKP's belt feeds from the right side of the gun, unlike similar weapons that feed from the left side or from a magazine.
- In Comrades, the PKP is used by the GIGN as their primary MG.
