All Battlefield 6 Weapons So Far
As we mentioned, the final version of Battlefield 6 will host a staggering collection of over 40 weapons. Here’s a preview of what to anticipate during the Open Beta:
Assault Rifles
Assault Rifles are recognized for their reliability, versatility, and performance across various combat ranges. Whether you’re engaged in close-quarters combat or mid-range skirmishes, these rifles can be equipped with appropriate attachments for long-distance effectiveness. Here are the Assault Rifles you’ll discover in the BF6 Beta:
- NVO-228E – A robust assault rifle chambered in 7.62 Soviet, fantastic for mid-range confrontations.
- B36A4 – An adaptable carbine that can be tailored for both close-quarters battles and longer engagements.
- M433 – Chambered in 5.56×45, this advanced rifle excels in close-range scenarios with its rapid rate of fire.
Carbines
Carbines bear resemblances to Assault Rifles but typically come in smaller packages. Although they’re more portable and can deliver potent firepower, they require skilled handling. Check out the following Carbines available in the beta:
- M4A1 – Known for its high cyclic rate, effective range can be extended with proper recoil control.
- AK-205 – With a balanced cyclic rate and 5.45x39mm caliber, it performs admirably at long distances.
- M417 A2 – Chambered in 7.62x51mm, this compact battle rifle combines high damage with a consistent firing rate.
SMGs
SMGs are engineered for those up-close encounters, boasting impressive mobility and handling. These weapons deliver solid damage while maintaining a sliver of range versatility. Here are the SMGs available:
- SGX – A modern 9.19mm PDW that excels in close quarters but can be customized for longer ranges.
- PW7A2 – Featuring a 4.6x30mm chambering, this PDW offers excellent long-range performance while remaining effective in tight spaces due to its quick firing rate.
LMGs
Light Machine Guns (LMGs) are designed for sustained fire with ample ammunition and manageable recoil, allowing players to unleash a torrent of bullets. However, their long reload times can leave you vulnerable. Here’s what’s in store for LMGs in Battlefield 6:
- L110 – A versatile squad automatic weapon chambered in 5.56x45mm, perfect for a range of combat scenarios.
- KTS100 MK8 – This LMG combines low recoil and accurate suppressive fire, with moderate damage output.
DMRs
Designated Marksman Rifles (DMRs) are perfect for players who crave precision at medium range. With a stopping power that nearly rivals Snipers, they compensate with a quicker firing rate. Seasoned players can dominate games with these rifles:
- M39 EMR – A versatile marksman rifle chambered in 7.62x51mm, this weapon is a must-have in any squad.
- SVK-8.6 – Known for its 8.6x70mm cartridge, this precision rifle balances lethality with a manageable fire rate.
Sniper Rifle
Sniping in Battlefield is an exhilarating experience, and BF6 stays true to form. If you spot a sniper, you’d better take cover fast. This class nails long-range precision and power:
- M2010 ESR – An incredibly accurate Bolt-Action Sniper Rifle, it targets enemies from extreme distances with its .300 WM gauge.
Shotgun
The Shotgun class is expertly crafted for quickly dispatching foes in close quarters. Videos circulating online really showcase the raw power of this class. Here’s the only Shotgun featured in the beta:
- M87A1 – This reliable pump-action shotgun, chambered with 3” shells, delivers impressive stopping power to clear out enemies.
Sidearm
Sidearms offer flexibility in combat, and while the full release is expected to feature an array of Revolvers and Automatic Pistols, the beta currently includes:
- P18: A dependable sidearm that meets diverse combat scenarios with ease.
All Battlefield 6 Gadgets and Throwables So Far
Gadgets in Battlefield 6 provide extensions to your combat toolkit, enhancing tactical capabilities. In the Beta, you can expect two types of launchers:

- M320AI THRM (Thermobaric Grenade Launcher): This launcher fires impactful Thermobaric explosives that, while delivering limited initial damage, stun and burn enemies on detonation.
Throwables
Throwables can turn the tide of battle, serving tactical or lethal purposes. Whether you need to flush out foes or create cover for quick repositioning, these tools are invaluable. Here’s what you’ll find in the BF6 Open Beta:
