The Bárbaro Machine Gun is a weapon in Just Cause 4.

Description

The Bárbaro is a light machine gun exclusively used by the Army of Chaos. This seems to be their counterpart to the Defender Machine Gun. The weapon closely resembles the Urga Vdova 89 from Just Cause 3, and has elements that resemble the real-world M60 and PKM machine guns.

It is in Army of Chaos colors. In short, it looks like the Urga Vdova 89 splattered messily with a bunch of brightly colored paint and graffiti.

Performance

More or less the same as the arguably superior Defender Machine Gun, without a secondary fire mode. The weapon has a noticeably faster rate of fire than that of its Black Hand counterpart, but lacks a deployable shield. The high fire rate is balanced out by the weapon's low damage per round and poor accuracy. While it does have an edge in fire rate, the below-average damage and accuracy make the Defender MG a more viable option in most combat situations. Plus, the Defender can deploy a bulletproof shield.

Locations

• Rico can pick one up off a dead Army of Chaos fighter. Usually this is more common near the front line.
• During Operation Thunderbarge, if you grapple Tom Sheldon out of the MG position, he will use one of these. However, there's no way to get it from him.
• Mira Morales wields one in Aeropuerto Scramble. However, she only briefly uses it during the mission.

Trivia

• Along with the Defender MG, this is the successor to the Urga Vdova 89 from Just Cause 3.

  

• Initially this weapon could hold 80 cartridges in a magazine and would allow the player to carry a total of 240. This was later increased in a patch that increased all ammunition numbers.
• This weapon was initially supposed to be capable of being dropped from Supply drop. This was cancelled before Just Cause 4 was released. See Cut game content from Just Cause 4.
• Bárbaro means "Barbarian" in Spanish.
• In Training: Bridge Defense, another weapon crate near the weapon crate containing the LRD-3 Sniper could contain this weapon. If so, this is the only known instance where an Army of Chaos weapon can be found in a weapon crate.
