The M60 is a weapon featured in Battlefield Vietnam, as one of the loadouts for the Heavy Assault kit for all U.S.-aligned factions.

It has a 100-round capacity, high standing or crouching recoil, medium damage, high rate of fire and low accuracy. Prone decreases most of the drawbacks of this weapon, especially its recoil. It is the counterpart to the North Vietnamese RPD.

— 1.1 patch notes

The Stationary M60 is an emplaced weapon found mounted in bunkers, huts, towers, and crashed ACH-47s on the maps Defense of Con Thien and Fall of Saigon. They are used by all factions, and tend to be near control points, though some are scattered about.

These M60s have unlimited ammunition and otherwise have the same characteristics of the M60s mounted in vehicles.

The M60 is also mounted on several American and South Vietnamese vehicles, these being the PBR, the Huey and the ACH-47. It still has the same kind of performance damage- and accuracy-wise, though it has an overheat limit, a 400- to 500-round belt that never needs to be reloaded, and, since being mounted, has no recoil.
