The M/60 is one of those classic heavy-hitting LMGs that truly is best served with patience and positioning. It’s a Support-class gun by design — for dropping suppression, clogging up lanes, and holding anchor positions.
It has a wallop, but it is not very nimble. However, with the right attachments and an even-keel way of playing, you can turn this clunky wrecking ball into a surprisingly nimble giant. Let’s talk about how to play the best M/60 build in Battlefield 6 to maximize its brute-stopping power.
How the M60 Plays
The M/60 is giving up mobility for sheer damage output. You won’t be dashing about clearing out buildings with it — at least, not effectively — but you’ll be excellent at area control and sustained fire. Once you’re dug in and laying down fire, it’s hard for opposing forces to breakthrough your line of sight.
This build attempts to add a touch of mobility without giving up the M/60’s greatest asset: constant mid-range firepower.
Best M/60 Build
| Attachment | Cost | Stats / Effect | Why It’s Worth It |
| Scope 3.00X (Scope) | 10 | 3x Magnification | Use whichever 10-cost optic appeals to your eye. The 3x is great at maintaining long lines of sight, and pairs well with a canted sight for close quarters combat. |
| Sight 1.00X (Optic Accessory) | 10 | 1x Magnification | Great for flicking between close targets — invaluable when the bad guys close in. |
| Convertor (Muzzle) | 10 | Reduces horizontal recoil | Horizontal recoil is the real enemy here. This trades some vertical kick (which is easier to manage) for a much steadier horizontal spread. |
| 17″ Fluted (Barrel) | 20 | Better ADS accuracy while moving, faster ADS transition | A great balance between control and flexibility. You’ll lose a bit of bullet velocity compared to longer barrels, but you’ll hit more shots while strafing. |
| Slim Angled (Underbarrel) | 25 | Less recoil, faster draw, quicker ADS | Costly but effective. This attachment reduces the M/60’s weight and makes it more responsive without compromising mid-range accuracy. |
| 50 RND (Magazine) | 5 | Better reloads, movement, and ADS | The 100-round pouch is tempting, but this 50-round belt doubles the reload speed and improves handling in general. |
| Hollow Point (Ammunition) | 20 | Heads up multiplier increase (1.5x → 1.34x) | Doesn’t cut your TTK as much at mid-range, but helps you win close duels or finish off low-health opponents. |
Why This Loadout Works
This setup transforms the M/60 from a slow, static weapon into a more versatile, lane-clearing machine. You’ll trade some sustained firepower for mobility and responsiveness, which makes a massive difference in dynamic fights.
It’s not about hiding behind cover and spraying anymore — it’s about owning your space and being able to push or reposition confidently when the fight changes.
