Tier Breakdown

S Tier

NVO-228E and M4A1 are top performers. They shred at mid-range and handle well under pressure. They work in any map, any mode.

A Tier

Strong weapons with slight drawbacks. PW7A2 is unmatched in close fights. M39 EMR is consistent and easy to use. L110 works great in Support builds.

B Tier

Good choices with flaws. Still viable with the right attachments. These weapons start strong but lose value against top-tier setups.

C Tier

Too situational or underwhelming without upgrades. Best used as placeholders until you unlock better options.

D Tier

Lowest performers from the beta. Struggle across most ranges or feel bad to use. Not recommended unless rebalanced at launch.

Final Blurb

This tier list ranks Battlefield 6 weapons based on current beta stats and real-match feedback. Top-tier guns combine low recoil, high versatility, and fast kill times. Expect some shifts after launch patches, but this list gives you the best starting loadouts to dominate early matches.
