This article is timeless and should be accurate for any version of the game.

| — In-game description |
The DAE 1b-2 “Serra” (also known as Emplaced Machine Gun or EMG) is a Colonial Emplacement equipped with a 12.7mm machine gun.
Crew
It has no AI and must be manned by a player with Q. It has two seats:
- Gunner (Right Seat)
- Rotates the turret by aiming with
RMB - Fires and reloads the machine gun
- Rotates the turret by aiming with
- Passenger (Left Seat)
- No purpose
The large front shield protects well from small arms incoming fire but the gunner is susceptible to sniper rifle fire and gas.
Armament
It's armed with one armament:
- 12.7mm Machine Gun
- Mounted on the emplacement (can rotate 360 degrees, turns 30° per second)
- Ammo Used: 12.7mm
- Effective Range: 35 meters
- Maximum Range: 40 meters
- Reload Duration: 6 seconds
- Fire Rate: 300 rounds per minute
- High velocity barrel increases damage by 20% (66-99 damage)
- Magazine Size: 300 rounds
- Accuracy: very high
- Stability: Can fire nonstop without losing accuracy
It has a dedicated ammo slot that can hold 40 magazines.
Interactions
It can be interacted with either on foot, or in a vehicle by pressing E. The enemy players cannot interact or use it.
Transportation
As an Emplacement it cannot move on its own, and must be packaged and lifted by Shippable#Cranes in order to be moved anywhere. It can be transported by shipping vehicles.
Placement
It can be placed pretty much anywhere on land, even on top of other structures. It can be placed within 60 meters of a region's border ("no build" zone), however it will still quickly decay there. The only notable place where it can't be placed is Bridges.
It can also be placed inside a Trench Emplacement. Doing so quadruples its health and doubles its rotation speed. However if the Trench Emplacement is destroyed, the Emplacement goes along with it.
Visibility
It is invisible at night, just like infantry. It can also be hidden by being placed inside large bushes, but is revealed to people within 10m. Only its firing effects (smoke and flashes from the barrel) will betray its presence. This only works if it's not packaged.
