"The VGO began life as an airplane-mounted machine gun. But it was soon adopted for land use. A high rate of fire made it a favorite among Allied commando units."

— In-game description

The VGO is a weapon featured in Battlefield V. It could be unlocked for the Support kit during the first week of Tides of War Chapter One - Overture.

A handheld machine gun variant of the VGO serves as an intermediate version of the MG34 and the MG42 with a 830 RPM,  With a basic 60 round magazine. 

The specializations that the VGO has access to increase its control and effectiveness. The left side of the tree has the Recoil Buffer, which reduces its vertical recoil; Flashless Propellant, removing muzzle flash allowing greater precision and increasing obscurity at a distance; and Light Bolt boosts the fire rate from 830 RPM to 981 RPM.

The right side of the tree improves reload speed by 15%, allowing one to go back into the fight quicker after each reload, especially with how fast one burns the ammo; Ported Barrel noticeably decreasing horizontal recoil; and Extended Magazine increasing the 60 round magazine to 100.

The last two specializations are Incendiary Bullets, which increases its damage versus air craft; and Chrome Lining, which increases the firing limit from 51 to 66 before overheating.
