In Battlefield 6, your weapons are one of your greatest assets. As you rank up and complete all the given assignments, you will unlock a total of 45 weapons spread across eight different categories: assault rifles, carbines, SMGs, LMGs, DMRs, sniper rifles, shotguns, and pistols. Each weapon has its own strengths, and your choice should match your playstyle and the map. There are many weapons, so it might be confusing for you to determine what works best for you, but in this Battlefield 6 Weapons Guide, we will discuss them according to their weapon types, so that you can easily remember them.
All Weapons in Battlefield 6
Below, we have detailed every weapon according to its type in the game:
| Weapon Type | Description | Best For | Weapons In this Category |
| Assault Rifle | Assault rifles are balanced weapons that will work well in many situations.
M433 is considered to be the best assault rifle in Battlefield 6. If you are unsure which AR to use, consider using M433. |
They are usually most effective when used in close to mid-range fights, but we can use them even in long-range fights. But you should use them whenever you are in close or mid-range fights.

|
| Carbine | Carbines are a mix between assault rifles and SMGs. They have the accuracy and range of an assault rifle, and also the fast fire rate and easy movement of an SMG.
M4A1 is the most popular one among the carbines. |
They are the great weapons for short to mid-range combat | · M4A1
· M277 · AK-205 · M417A2 · GRT-BC · QBZ-192 · SG 553R
|
| SMG
|
Submachine Guns (SMGs) are fast and easy to handle. They let you move quickly and take down close enemies. However, their short-range focus means they have low accuracy and power at longer distances, so they’re not ideal for players who prefer to stay back. | Ideal in short to mid-range fights. | · SGX
· PW5A3 · PW7A2 · UMG-40 · USG-90 · KV9 · SCW-10 · SL9
|
| LMG | Light Machine Guns (LMGs) are big, powerful weapons that can deal heavy damage from a distance. Because of their weight and size, they’re slower to move and take longer to reload. | Ideal for those who like to hold positions and stay back. Mid to long-range. | · L110
· DRS-IAR · M60 · RPKM · M123K · M250 · KTS100 MK8 · M240L |
| DMR | Designated Marksman Rifles (DMRs) sit between assault rifles and sniper rifles. They have better range and damage than assault rifles, but aren’t as strong at long distances as snipers. They’re also a bit heavier. | Best for players who like to hold their position and take out enemies from medium to long range. | · M39 EMR
· LMR27 · SVK-8.6 · SVDM
|
| Sniper Rifle | Snipers offer excellent range and high damage, though they’re a bit heavier and slower to handle compared to other weapons. | They’re the top choice for long-range players. | · M2010 ESR
· SV-98 · PSR
|
| Shotgun | If you like getting up close and dealing massive damage with a single shot, shotguns are the perfect choice. Because of their very short ranges and slow reload times, you’ll need to stay near your target and make every shot count. | Close-range fights beast. | · M87A1
· M1014 · 18.5KS-K
|
| Pistols | When you run out of ammo for your main weapon or need to finish off an enemy quickly, pistols come in handy. | Reliable Backup for you, that can save you in critical conditions. | · P18
· ES 5.7 · M45A1 · M44 |
