Battlefield 6 Tier List: Which Are the Best Weapons in Early and Endgame?

Battlefield 6 is finally out, and as with every launch, the big question returns: which weapons truly dominate the meta? Whether you’re still in your first few hours or already deep into the endgame, some guns clearly stand out. Here’s a complete tier list to help you choose your arsenal based on your progression.

At the start, available weapons are limited, but a few already shine through their effectiveness. In early game, the SOR-556 MK2 stands as a reliable pick. It’s a stable, precise, and versatile assault rifle. Its consistent medium-range damage easily makes up for a slower rate of fire. Pair it with a long barrel and a bipod grip to gain better control and accuracy without losing much mobility.

Another strong early-game choice is the K30 SMG. Compact and fast, it excels in close-quarters combat. With low recoil and quick reload speed, it lets you chain kills easily in urban areas and tight interiors. It’s the perfect weapon to start with and progress quickly through challenges.

For players who prefer range, the MCS-880 remains a staple. Its semi-automatic mode and impressive reach for a shotgun offer a decisive advantage when defending objectives. Early on, it dominates indoor fights while still holding up against assault rifles at mid-range.

Once you unlock more weapons and attachments, the endgame meta changes drastically. The M8A1, already iconic since Black Ops 2, makes a spectacular comeback. Its ultra-precise burst fire can eliminate enemies in a single, well-placed burst. Combined with a 2x sight and a long barrel, it becomes deadly in both skirmishes and team fights. It rewards accuracy, and in the right hands, it’s clearly a Tier S weapon.

Another endgame powerhouse is the DRAVEC 45. This overpowered SMG combines insane fire rate with surprising stability, especially when fitted with an extended mag. It rivals most assault rifles in close combat and is essential for aggressive players thanks to its superior mobility.

As for heavy weapons, the PKP Pecheneg stands out with its sheer firepower. In endgame loadouts, with the right attachments, it becomes a wall of bullets. It’s particularly effective in defensive or siege modes where suppression plays a key role.

Finally, sharpshooters aren’t left out: the SVK DMR remains the go-to choice for medium-range precision. It delivers massive damage and allows for quick eliminations without needing to camp 300 meters away.
