Battlefield 4[]
The M240B is a weapon featured in Battlefield 4.
Singleplayer[]
The M240B is found as a collectible in Singapore. It is found on top of the parking garage by snaking around the thing, stone awning on the side closest to the sea. It is equipped with a HOLO, Muzzle Brake and Bipod. It sports an Atomic Autumn finish.
Multiplayer[]
It performs similarly to its Battlefield 3 counterpart, having a moderate rate of fire, but high stopping power being able to kill most opponents within 4 shots. It has the highest damage counter of all the LMGs doing 33 damage per bullet at close range and 21.6 at long range. However the M240B also suffers from having one of the highest vertical recoils of any automatic weapon in the game, alongside with the highest spread increase per shot, making sustained bursts without making use of a bipod a less viable option than most other LMG's.
Since the summer patch, the M240B's long range effectiveness has been decreased dramatically since the original 0.5 1st shot recoil multiplier has been increased to 1.4. As such, Barrel modification is more or less now just a toss up between opting for lower recoil at the cost of increased spread or decreased spread and increased. Both of these negatives contribute to the M240B's most significant weaknesses, and a most sensible solution would be to use the M240B with neither Compensators, Heavy Barrel or Muzzle Brakes in order to maintain a fair balance between spread increase and recoil.
Regardless of barrel modification, being the weapon with arguably the worst hip fire spread and mobile fire ADS accuracy, players should stay away from using the Ergo/Angled foregrip on the weapon.

Trivia[]
- As of March 2014, there is a glitch that allows one to attach a Magnifier with a PRISMA (3.4x) or M145. But in order to do it, one needs to equip a 1x optic, then the 2X magnification, then attach the PRISMA/M145 sight. Using it is very difficult, due to the misalignment of the crosshairs of the sight when the magnifier is aimed down, as the player has aimed the Magnifier instead of PRISMA/M145 sight. In addition, the Magnifier's toggling animation will clip through the PRISMA/M145 sight. However, it will give the player a higher-than-usual magnification of 5.4x. As of an unknown patch, this has been fixed.
