Battlefield 6 tier list: Weapons ranked from best to worst

The Battlefield 6 weapon tier list divides the guns into four tiers: S, A, B, and C. Here's a breakdown of each tier:

  1. S-tier: This tier features the best weapons available in the game that are on top of the meta. These offer peak performance, are versatile, and can be used in different combat situations.
  2. A-tier: These weapons are not the apex predators like their S-tier neighbors, but are still highly effective in the hands of skilled players.
  3. B-Tier: The weapons in B-tier are the most balanced, and offer a solid damage profile and handling.
  4. C-tier: These firearms are highly situational and are easily overshadowed by weapons in the previous tiers. However, players who can adjust their playstyles can still pick these to rack up some eliminations in the multiplayer modes.

Here are all the S-tier weapons in Battlefield 6:

  • NVO-228E
  • SGX
  • M87A1
  • M433
  • AK-205
  • M417 A2
  • TR-7

The options in this tier will help you to top the leaderboard as they excel in their respective weapon VO. The NVO-228E offers versatility and is effective in medium to long-range counters. It has a manageable recoil and high damage, which makes it a perfect choice for aggressive players.

Another great option from the S class is the M87A1 shotgun, which can rip the enemies to shreds with a single blow to the head. It is a one-shot gun that is highly effective in close-quarters combat scenarios.

Here are all the A-tier weapons in Battlefield 6

  • M4A1
  • UMG-40
  • SVK-8.6
  • PW5A3
  • M277
  • SOR-556-MK2
  • USG-90
  • GRT-BC
  • M2010 ESR
  • PW7A2
  • RPKM
  • M1014
  • KTS100 MK8
  • M123K
  • AK4D
  • SV-98

The A-tier weapons are not on the top of the meta list, yet they can be lethal in the hands of skilled players. The M4A1, a carbine-type rifle, is the best A-tier gun, packing the damage output of an SMG with the adaptability of an assault rifle. It has fast TTK, which allows it to eliminate multiple enemies in short range instantly.

The SVK-8.6 DMR is another weapon in the A class that offers the perfect blend of power and precision. It is highly effective in long-range fights and can knock down enemies with a single blow to the head. It is limited by its mediocre rate of fire, which offers limited error windows even in the hands of skilled snipers.

Here are all the B-tier weapons in Battlefield 6:

  • M250
  • B36A4
  • M39 EMR
  • L85A3
  • L110
  • QBZ-192
  • SG-553R
  • SCW-10
  • SL9
  • PSR
  • DRS-IAR
  • M60
  • M240L
  • LMR27

The B-tier weapons are solid options for players who don't have access to S and A-tier guns. However, they are not at the top of the meta leaderboard. The B36A4 assault rifle is one of the most balanced AR's in the game. It has a decent range of fire and manageable recoil, which allow it to perform in a variety of combat scenarios.

The L110 is an all-around LMG that can provide continuous fire due to its high magazine capacity. It packs decent firepower, which players can use to defend areas. However, it has limited mobility, and might not be a suitable option for aggressive players.

C tier

  • SVDM
  • KV9
  • 18.5KS-K
  • ES 5.7
  • M45A1
  • M44

As mentioned before, the weapons in C-tier can be effective only in certain scenarios and must be avoided if not for clutch situations. However, they can be effective as secondary weapons. The KV9 is an SMG in C tier, which is easily outclassed by other SMGs like SGX or the UMG-40. It has a mediocre range of fire and mid damage output.

The M45A1 is like the other pistols, and can be used as a secondary weapon. It is weak against SMGs and ARs, and should only be used as a last resort if players run out of ammo on their primary weapon.
