Battlefield V
The Vickers is a stationary weapon featured in Battlefield V.
Singleplayer
The emplacement appears only rarely during the singleplayer War Stories, seen during the 1941 section of My Country Calling and used by enemy US Army troops during The Last Tiger. In contrast to multiplayer, the emplacement lacks a gunshield.
Mutliplayer
In multiplayer, the Vickers is the heavy machine gun emplacement of the United Kingdom faction, equivalent to Germany's Stationary MG 34. It appears pre-constructed on various multiplayer maps, but can also be built in specific areas by Support players as part of the Fortification system.
The emplacements are always tripod mounted and come with attached gunshields, which are impenetrable by all smalls arms fire, except for the Boys AT Rifle and Panzerbüchse 39 which can damage the emplacement as can explosive gadgets and vehicle ordnance. Vickers guns can be repaired using the Repair Tool and rebuilt by Supports when destroyed. It cannot be towed by vehicles.
In terms of performance, the Vickers has a lower rate of fire than the Stationary MG 34 in exchange for greater accuracy and a longer period of sustained fire before overheating.
