Trivia[]
- The M249 costs $190 000 to fully upgrade, meaning that its total cost, not including ammo, is $265 000.
- Fully upgraded, it has an accuracy profile of 65% -> 95%, 100% ammo efficiency, 760 damage, 700 max ammo, 150 magazine size, 5.115 s reload speed, and 5 weight.
- The M249, along with the DMR, are the only two weapons with 7 upgrades.
- This weapon should do less damage and have more ammo efficiency than the Minigun, due to using a smaller cartridge. However, this is not the case.
- The damage and ammo efficiency would be expected from the M240, a GPMG (general purpose machine gun) using 7.62 x 51 mm.
