Deployed by all branches of the US military.
How to obtain
- It can be scavenged during Level 30+ missions.
- Level 31 High Capacity variants can be crafted using a M-240 and 14 Machined Parts at a Level 11+ Weapons Bench for 19
. - Level 31 High Capacity Quick Load variants can be crafted using a M-240 and 42 Machined Parts at a Level 11+ Weapons Bench for 38 . Also requires a Level 31+ Engineer.
- Level 31 High Capacity Scoped variants can be crafted using a M-240 and ? at a Level 11+ Weapons Bench for ? . Also requires a Level 31+ Engineer and Fighter.
Recycling products
- Barrel x 1
- Firing Pin x 1
- Return Spring x 1
- Trigger System x 1
- Machined Parts x Variable (dependent on the item's Level and attachments/conditions)

- Ammunition Mods to further increase its already high damage, making it more efficient.
- Glasses to improve range, with some variants also increasing accuracy.
- Bandoliers/Ammunition Pouches/Carrier Harnesses to compensate for its slow reload.
