Battlefield Play4Free
In Battlefield Play4Free, the M240B is a purchasable Elite light machine gun for the Medic Kit. It features the largest magazine out of any infantry weapon in the game, as well as the longest range and highest accuracy, tied with both versions of the M249. However, for an Elite weapon, the M240B lacks in firepower, as is damage is about the same as the base M60 or the Veteran's PKM. It also has a high price at 980 for unlimited use. However, due to it having a very large magazine, the weapon is very good at providing suppressive fire. The weapon also features a tan paint scheme along much of the upper and lower receivers, but unlike most Elite weapons, its appearance is more worn.
