Battlefield 6 isn’t messing about in the weapons department, with EA confirming that the title will feature 40+ guns at launch. Veterans of the franchise will be familiar with the series’ arsenal, which includes classic Assault Rifles, punchy Carbines, explosive Shotguns, and satisfying Sniper Rifles supplemented by the aptly named ‘sweet spot’ mechanic. Following the announcement of the Open Beta, we’ve received confirmation regarding some of the weapons confirmed to appear in the game. So, here’s a look at all the Battlefield 6 weapons and equipment revealed so far.
All Battlefield 6 Weapons So Far
As mentioned earlier, the final build of Battlefield 6 will feature over 40 weapons. But for the time being, here are all the guns you can expect to see in the Open Beta:
Assault Rifles
Reliable, versatile, and consistent — these are the hallmark traits of Assault Rifles — a class built for engagements across all ranges. ARs typically shine at close-quarters engagements and mid-range scruffles. Their long-distance abilities can be improved by equipping the right attachments, making this class the most versatile in the game. Here are all the Assault Rifles in the BF6 Beta:
- NVO-228E – This powerful assault rifle chambered in 7.62 Soviet is a reliable weapon designed for mid-range encounters.
- B36A4 – A versatile carbine that can be modified to compete in both close-quarters and ranged encounters.
- M433 – Chambered in 5.56×45, this cutting-edge rifle is best suited for closer ranges due to its above-average rate of fire.
Carbines
Carbines are like Assault Rifles, minus the versatility. Their smaller frames make them more portable, and depending on the weapon, Carbines can also pack more power and range. But these perks come at the cost of accessibility, meaning this weapon class isn’t for every player. Here are all the Carbines in the beta:
- M4A1 – With its high cyclic rate, extending this carbine’s effective range requires competent recoil management.
- AK-205 – With an average cyclic rate and 5.45x39mm chambering, this rifle offers superior ranged performance.
- M417 A2 – Chambered in 7.62x51mm, this compact battle rifle offsets its high damage with a steady rate of fire.
SMG
Tailor-made for close-range engagements, SMGs are a force to be reckoned with when it comes to getting up close and personal. Their offer excellent mobility and handling, solid damage output, and a tinge of versatility when you need some range.
- SGX – A modern 9.19mm PDW suited for close-range engagements. It can be configured to improve its ranged capabilities.
- PW7A2 – A 4.6x30mm chambering ensures this PDW outperforms at range. Still effective in close quarters due to its high rate of fire.
LMG
Light Machine Guns are known for their vast ammo reserves and low recoil, allowing players to spray blindly for what may seem like an eternity. However, that ballistic bliss is handicapped by long reload times, which can leave you vulnerable for an extended duration. Here’s an overview of the LMGs in Battlefield 6:
- L110 – An all-purpose Squad automatic Weapon chambered in 5.56x45mm. Well-matched for most engagements.
- KTS100 MK8 – With low recoil and a steady RPM, this light machine gun’s moderate damage is offset by accurate suppressive fire.
DMR
Designated Marksman Rifles are precise weapons built for medium-range encounters. Their stopping power falls just short of the Sniper class, but the faster fire rate more than makes up for it. In the hands of seasoned players, DMRs can dominate servers effortlessly.
- M39 EMR – Chambered in 7.62x51mm, this versatile marksman rifle is a solid addition to any squad’s arsenal.
- SVK-8.6 – A precision rifle chambered in the powerful 8.6x70mm cartridge. Its lethality is offset by a lower rate of fire.
Sniper Rifle
Battlefield games have a reputation for satisfying sniping, and BF6 should be no different. These weapons are unbeatable at long ranges, offering unmatched accuracy and incredible power. If you see the muzzle flash of this gun, we recommend running for cover:
- M2010 ESR – This accurate Bolt-Action Sniper Rifle reaches targets at greater distances with its .300 WM chambering.
Shotgun
Clips of BF6 gameplay featuring a shotgun blowing enemies to smithereens have been doing the rounds online, which should give you an indication of what this class is all about. There’s no better tool to clear enemies hiding inside structures or lurking in close proximity than a loaded Shotgun. Here’s a look at the only Shotgun in the beta:
- M87A1 – A reliable pump-action shotgun chambered with 3″ shells for improved stopping power.
Sidearm
The Sidearm class is composed of Pistols of different shapes and types. The full release version of the game will likely feature a powerful Revolver and an Automatic Pistol, but for now, here’s the only Sidearm in the beta:
- P18: A reliable Sidearm able to meet the demands of almost any combat scenario.
All Battlefield 6 Gadgets and Throwables So Far
Gadgets in Battlefield 6 range from Grenade Launchers to Underslug weapons and serve as an extension of the player’s kit. The Beta will feature two Gadgets, both of which are launchers:
- M320AI HE (High Explosive Launcher): Fires impact-triggered explosives, designed for damaging structures and targeting infantry behind cover.
- M320AI THRM (Thermobaric Grenade Launcher): Fires impact-triggered Thermobaric explosives, ideal for targeting groups of enemies. The blast delivers limited initial damage but stuns and burns enemies for a short duration.
Throwables
Throwables are handy pieces of equipment that serve a lethal or tactical function. From drawing enemies out of cover to supplying smoke for quick rotations, these essential items can come in clutch during tricky situations. Here is every throwable featured in the BF6 Open Beta:
- Fragmentation Grenade: Equipped with an impact-triggered time fuse, this grenade is ideal for targeting enemies behind cover.
- Flash Grenade: This grenade emits an intense blast that temporarily blinds nearby enemies. Impairment scales with proximity and line of sight to the blast.
- Smoke Grenade: A grenade designed to deploy temporary smoke screens. Blocks the ability to spot targets and clears spotted markers from all infantry inside the smoke radius.
And that wraps up all the guns and equipment present in the Battlefield 6 Beta. We’ll be sure to update this article as new weapons are added. In the meantime, be sure to check out the game’s classes and their abilities to find the best fit for your playstyle.
