Rusty M60
| « | This gun is understated, and also deafening. | » |
|
In-Game Description | ||
The Rusty M60 is the first Light Machine Gun that the player acquires, and the least powerful of the other weapons in the Light Machine Gun category. It's a Rank 1 weapon and quickly becomes of little use. Perhaps due to its decayed nature, the reload is noticeably longer than normal.
Makeshift M60
| « | A great gun if you love bone-shaking kickback and mowing targets down like grass. | » |
|
In-Game Description | ||
The Makeshift M60 is the second Light Machine Gun the player acquires. It is a Rank 2 weapon, and is stronger than its rusty counterpart. This gun appears to be held together by a rope tied around the middle of its body with metal fixtures holding them in place, including a paperclip, an elastic band and duct tape on its stock, as well as a makeshift scope.

Trivia[]
- The text of the M60 makes a reference to Sylvester Stallone's titular action movie character John J. Rambo; notably the film Rambo: First Blood, Part 2.
- The M60 V was added to the Far Cry 5 base game at the release of the Hours of Darkness expansion as an ownership reward.
- The text of the M60 V mentioning the Medal of Honor is a nod to how many of the Vietnam-era recipients of the medal used a machine gun - both the US M60 and Viet Cong machine guns - in the actions that earned them the medal. As with many recipients of the medal, many of them were posthumous.
- The M60 used in the base game is actually based on the E4 variant while the M60 V is based on the original M60[1]
