BuFf m249!!!!!!! You pointed out all of its pros but none of its big cons. It does need a buff. It slows you down considerbly and has a long reload that you cannot sprint away from zombies while doing. Every other gun in the game, besides Minigun, you can sprint away from zombies while reloading. To be able to reload, a M249 user is going to have to sacrifice a considerble amount of health especially towards the end of a round where zombies do significantly more damage being leveled up. Then theres a lot of things in the game that can stop a M249 user from being able to reload like diggers, leapers, and edgars. Whenever I get digger I pop out from under the ground to ragdoll a reloading M249 user and make it so they have to do the animation all over again. Unlike other guns in the game, it requires team support in teammates protecting you from zombies while you reload. If its toward the end of the game where alot of players are pretty much dead than a M249 player is at huge disadvantage as they do not have people to cover them during that reload phase. The gun should be buffed 75/1 ammo so that its a longer time span before a M249 user needs to reload. You are forgetting the fact that the m249 weighs around 7kg. You cant be like 'bUfF M249' when it weighs THAT much. If anything the walkspeed should be slower as IRL this gun requires 3 people to shoot it. This guns pros easily wipe the cons. The DPS this gun puts out is enough to keep all zombies at bay so walkspeed doesn't really matter. And as for the reload you are literally heaving a 7kg monster whilst similtaneously dragging its heavy ammo from your POCKETS using ONE HAND for both of these actions. Not to mention that if you have an m249 you've probably been able to protect nearby players so I'm sure they'll be able to return the favour, (I know I do) and they'll cover for you whilst you reload. This gun is fine, its op, the dps is insane, Its a god dang reloadable minigun for crying out loud. It's not your average SCAR-L ('L' meaning light) that you can pick up. Stop complaining and learn how to use the gun properly because Ik I sure can.
