Source review — 10 November 2026: This is an original-game loadout from the dated guide below. Accessible source pages confirm the listed weapon attachment names. Perks and equipment retain their original dated attribution; the source review does not imply hands-on testing or a fresh balance-patch analysis.
The M240 is another Hardcore gun. Altered Gamer calls its damage stat depressing but says its high fire rate is great there, and it can't explain the late unlock. In Modern Warfare 2 (2009) multiplayer, the verdict is that it isn't worth the level 52 wait for core modes, though it has its niche.
Best M240 loadout
No major guide publishes a build for this gun, so this is our suggested setup from its available attachments. The attachment comes from a Steam guide's LMG list (11 June 2018), written per class; the perk advice is from Altered Gamer (30 January 2010).
| Slot | Pick | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Attachment | Extended Mags | Attachment slot; exact effect on this gun not listed |
| Perk | Stopping Power | Altered Gamer says normal modes always need it |
Why this build works
Altered Gamer says normal matches don't need Grip because the gun already has high accuracy, which frees your one attachment. That is unusual, because Altered Gamer's perk guide calls Grip all-important on LMGs. Extended Mags is our choice for that free slot, not a published recommendation.
How to play it
Use it in Hardcore, where the fire rate matters. Altered Gamer's perk guide says Stopping Power has no effect in Hardcore, so that perk only belongs on the normal-mode version of this class.
Unlock notes
Altered Gamer gives level 52. The Steam guide says Extended Mags on LMGs requires 40 bullet-penetration kills with FMJ attached. Altered Gamer's heading misprints the gun as M420, but its text says M240.
