What’s the point of using the M60?

[FireWolfBoy]

In comparison to the other Special Tier weapon (my “Baby” grenade launcher), I don’t see it being particularly useful aside from the fact that you can fire 150 rounds continuously. One other use is to combine it with frag rounds then stun every Special that you encounter (with the exception of the Tank) using just 1 round—including the Witch.

Other than that, it’s like firing a Negev then throwing it away afterward.

Even with laser sight and infinite ammo I find this gun point less compared to other ones..

Only potential useful part would be in versus against a tank in a close combat area and only if there is no T2 weapons..

I admit it’s fun in Gib Fest, but other than that I don’t see any proper use for it.

For Versus, it can definitely destroy a player Tank in close combat scenarios without having to reload. I think I’ve done it a few times in The Passing and Cold Stream where the M60 usually spawns. Rarely will a decent player Tank put himself/herself in that situation though.

it’s basically inaccurate version of 47 but you don’t reload with it

Its definitly the most situational special weapon. I only realy grab it when i know there will be panic event or some new weapons soon, whitch is rare. Only situation i can think of right now is on cold stream when you blow the barrels and need to rush the tunnel, there is m60 under the bridge. If you dont get messed up too mutch getting you can get to safehouse with ease.

Ironically on the subject of the reload, if you do have the script for it the vanilla M60 uses the AK-47's reload animation or at least that's what most of the programmers used.

How else are you to live out Rambo dreams?

It is great for destroying a tank with hitscan. Much better then Nade Launcher for it cause you don't need travel time, or to arc shots, or to reload. Better for Chargers over the Nade Launcher too. Much like the Nade Launcher, you'll want Dualies or a Magnum with it and to only whip it out for specials, really large hordes, or times when you need to go fast.

I think of it as a burst damage weapon to pull out in bad situations, usually just an AK or even just a M4 or SCAR are good enough and are much easier to work with. However M60 is really useful in Versus, namely No Mercy 2 if there is a tank, and even if there isn't a tank it helps clear specials very fast when you are close. It can be decent on Realism modes too if you conserve ammo well but just a magnum works better.

When theres fire or explosive ammo it works good too but definitely situational.

Only real use I can think of for the M60 is the fact that you can mow down a tank quickly with it.

Here's a reason to not stop using m60 XD

I think the M60 and chainsaw are both designed to be throwaway, good in some scenario weapons... Like when a panic event starts and you need to push through the horde to turn off an alarm, not having to reload and blasting through zombies would be useful... But you'd have to use a secondary weapon and/or rely on your team to carry you to said event. Overall I'd say those 2 and the grenade launcher aren't worth using, they're mostly just for fun.

They are pretty good if you get fire and explosive ammo to get 150(?) special ammo, rather than the 40 or so you get with a normal semi-auto gun.

I think the m60's generally used for shooting.

Crescendo events?

tank and events ... beside that: most useless weapon

M60 is more powerful than even AK-47, and is guaranteed to kill any Common/Uncommon in one hit (excl. riot zombies due to body armor). This makes it extremely effective when dealing with larger or modded hordes, like a swarm of Jimmy Gibbs.
