Battlefield: Bad Company 2[]

"Utilizing design elements from the WWII MG42, the M60 was introduced in 1957 and has been the workhorse of every branch of the US Military. It has gone through several modifications but is slowly being phased out by the M240."

— In-game description

The M60 LMG is a weapon featured in Battlefield: Bad Company 2.

Singleplayer[]

The M60 is always used by Terrence Sweetwater, and can be found in its normal state on Sangre del Toro, in the fountain when the two Hinds drop in troops at station B.

A variant with a 4X Rifle Scope can be found to the south of the bottom of the lighthouse in Sangre del Toro, and by a destroyed wall on the last slope before the player faces the two Havocs at station C. Both variants of the M60 are collectibles.

Multiplayer[]

The M60 is the 4th light machine gun issued to the Medic kit requiring 25,000 points. It has a belt length of 100 rounds and has the highest damage per shot of the LMGs, equal to that of the PKM after multiple patches.

As with the other light machine guns (and the G3), the M60's recoil decreases with each successive shot, making recoil easier to control allowing for better accuracy but not effecting the weapons natural spread and deviation.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2: Vietnam[]

"Utilizing design elements from the WWII MG42, the M60 was introduced in 1957 and has been the workhorse of every branch of the US Military. It has gone through several modifications but is slowly being phased out by the M240."

— In-game description

The M60 is a weapon featured in the Battlefield: Bad Company 2: Vietnam expansion for the Medic.

Its appearance, like all other Vietnam weapons, is more battle-worn than that of the base game's. It has stats similar to its base game counterpart, except in terms of damage, but the iron sights are cleaner and less obstructive, most likely to balance out the lack of attached sights available to the player.

The M60 is also mounted on UH-1 helicopters for use by passengers. The only difference between the M60 on the UH-1 and the Medic's M60 (other than ammo count and overheating) are the rear aperture sights, the UH-1's having a circle (although it is unusable) and the Medic's having a vertical rectangle.

Among its rusted and battered appearance, the M60 also boasts woodland camouflage and is one of only two weapons in Battlefield: Bad Company 2: Vietnam to use camouflage, the other being the M79.

Trivia[]

  • When Sweetwater is firing the M60 during the campaign of Battlefield: Bad Company 2, it has the same firing sound as the PKM.
  • When Bad Company 2 was first released, the M60 did 25 - 20 damage. Amidst complaints and balance issues, it was reduced to 20 - 16.7. Amidst more balancing issues, it was finally reduced to 16.7 - 14.3, the same as the PKM. This effectively means the PKM is now more powerful as it has the same damage and a higher rate of fire, but the M60 is still more accurate.
