The Finals Lewis Gun vs M60: Which weapon is best for Heavy builds
EMBARK STUDIOSIt’s been over a month since The Finals’ launch and the meta in Season 1 has all but shaped up. Heavy build offers you six weapons to choose from, so if you’re wondering about the best weapon to carry, here are the differences between the Lewis Gun and M60 for Heavy builds.
Season 1 is in full swing in The Finals, with over ten million players diving into the servers to try out the action-packed FPS by Embark Studios. The game features four maps, and unique Specializations and Gadgets for the three builds.
While Light boasts an impressive movement speed, Medium is a bit slower and Heavy is the slowest of the three. However, the former makes up for the lack of speed with its huge damage-inducing and tanking abilities like fast-firing LMGs, 350 HP, and shields.
So, if you’re looking to play the Heavy Contestant, here’s all you need to know about the Lewis Gun and M60 in The Finals, including which weapon is the best in Season 1.

The Finals Lewis Gun vs M60: Which weapon to pick?
The Lewis Gun might appear to be the better weapon when compared to the M60 for Heavy builds in The Finals. Lewis Gun and M60 in The Finals are similar in all aspects except magazine size, fire rate, and potential DPS. However, there’s one crucial aspect to consider, which is the recoil for both the weapons.
EMBARK STUDIOSAs evident in the image above, the Lewis Gun has a better recoil pattern, allowing you to control it and hit most of your shots. Using the Lewis Gun, you’ll be able to beam opponents across the map with relative ease, considering you simply drag your mouse down slightly during the first 10-15 rounds.
Additionally, the iron sight on Lewis Gun is significantly better than the M60, which allows you to have a better sight while ADS. Bear in mind that the hipfire recoil is similar for both weapons.
All in all, many in the community believe that the Lewis Gun feels a bit better, however, we recommend you try both the LMGs before coming to any conclusion.
It’s only been a few weeks since The Finals launch, so new weapon metas and playstyles will keep emerging, and you can complement your weapon picks using the right loadout.
