Why is the M60 such a rare spawn??

[Blek]

When I first started playing (sometime in 2012) the m60 was in all maps, I used to see it on Mercy Hospital Finale all the time. But now I'm lucky to get it in Cold Stream (I have yet to see it in any other map.). Is there a way I can manually set the spawn rate/locations for the m60? Like do I have to edit the maps themselves? or is there a console command?

Thanks.

the M60 has limited ammo so it's a sense a power weapon of Left 4 Dead 2 along with the Grenade Launcher the only reason why the Grenade Launcher is more seen than the M60 is because it has a reserve of ammo compared to the M60

It will always spawn in cold stream, the map before the finale

There's the console command "give m60", but if you want to spawn them in locations you have to edit the map manually.

How would I go about doing that?

I always see it on the map before going up the elevator...Im guessing no mercy..

you would think after a few hours I would know the maps..not.

Either in the room that everyone camps while the button is being pused or left of the reception area near the other elevator.

Again, how would I change the weapons spawns in the map editor. I have extracted the VMF files from the BSP map files and I have it loaded in the Hammer Wolrd Editor, but I haven't the slightest clue where to begin.
Would you be willing to help me?

Not worth it, decompiled maps are broken AF and you wont able to play your map online once you change anything.

A much better option would be to install sourcemod and use a plugin to spawn m60

Since it's DPS is only 8 more than the AK-47 (454 compared to the AK's 446) it doesn't worth much UNLESS you find special(explosive/incendiary) ammunition for it, and even then you have to consider ammunition management as it goes trough its 150 rounds pretty fast. Without special ammo, it cant even kill a Tank on Advanced or higher difficulties.....
Also, it only spawns in certain campaigns.
The grenade launcher is another story. It's not always useful (for instance on maps where you are mostly indoors...) and friendly fire is a problem (GoldenCumfart approves! HAHAHA), especially on higher difficulties.
On the other hand, it deals 1000 dmg to the tank with a direct hit(otherwise its base dmg is 400), and can be dismiss crowds pretty fast, not to mention it can kill or at least stun specials (except the Tank and the Charger, but including the Witch[only for the first hit])
