Top Weapon and Loadout Picks for Every Class

Select Language:

One of the best things about Battlefield 6 is the wide range of weapons you can choose from. This variety allows you to customize your gunplay to match your personal style. While nearly every weapon can be effective with the right setup, some stand out as better options for general use.

To get the most out of your weapons, make sure to pair the right gun with the appropriate class. Although the new open-weapon system lets you use any weapon with any class, each class has perks that work best when you use certain weapon types more often.

Best Weapons & Loadouts for the Assault Class

The Assault class is ideal for fast drew times with rifles and quicker firing after sprinting. The KORD 6P67 is a great choice, combining fast damage with good accuracy at longer ranges, which some aggressive rifles might lack.

Underbarrel: Stippled Stubby – 35
Magazine: 36 Round – 15
Ammunition: Lightweight – 10
Scope: CCO 2.00X – 10
Left Attachment: Green Laser – 10

Adding a secondary weapon like a shotgun increases versatility. The default M87A1 shotgun offers a good balance of capacity and damage, even compared to higher-rate-of-fire shotguns unlocked later.

Best Weapons & Loadouts for Recon Class

The Recon class excels with sniper rifles, especially since they reduce weapon sway, improve breath control, and allow opponents to be marked at long range. The starting M2010 ESR sniper rifle is hard to beat for versatility.

Barrel: Extended – 15
Underbarrel: Angled – 5
Magazine: 5 Round – 5

Using the Range Finder allows you to instantly set your shot drop when aiming, making sniping easier.

For closer combat, the SVK-8.6 is a top DMR, offering high damage output. Its attachments boost damage and accuracy.

SVK-8.6 Weapon Setup

Muzzle: Compensated Brake – 20
Top: Red Laser – 10
Barrel: Short – 15
Underbarrel: Classic Vertical – 35
Magazine: 10 Round – 5
Ammunition: Standard – 5
Scope: LDS 4.50X – 10

While the SVDM is versatile for various ranges, the SVK-8.6 can kill in two shots body shots or one headshot, making it deadly in skilled hands.

Ultimately, choosing a weapon depends on your style and preferences. Any of these options can be effective, especially when equipped with the right attachments to enhance their strengths.
