Battlefield 6’s Multiplayer Beta has entered its second open Beta weekend, and fans all around the world are jumping in to try it out. While the full launch is not until October 10, and fans do not have long until the Beta is over for good, this weekend is definitely packed with action for those diving in. From rushing around battlegrounds like Liberation Peak, taking to the skies in fighter jets, and gunning down opponents on foot in classic infantry combat, Battlefield 6 may be the FPS to look out for this year
As players jump in and progress through the Beta, they can earn a variety of unlocks and kit out their different classes. A big focus this Beta weekend is on the weapons, and while players can absolutely run any gun they want, some definitely stand out more than others. Here are the best weapons and builds for the Battlefield 6 Multiplayer Beta.
Best M433 Build
First up is the M433, the default Assault Rifle that all players will have access to when loading into the Beta. The weapon itself offers a middle-of-the-road level of control compared to the other options, but it can feel a bit shaky when it comes to recoil. However, with the right setup, the M433 excels in medium-range encounters and serves as one of the more reliable all-around choices in Battlefield 6.
Here’s the best setup:
- Compensated Break (Muzzle)
- 16.5” Rifle (Barrel)
- 6H64 Vertical (Underbarrel)
- 40RND Magazine (Magazine)
- OSA-7 1.00x (Optic)
Best M2010 ESR Build
Serving as the only Sniper Rifle available in the Battlefield 6 Multiplayer Beta, the M2010 ESR is the go-to weapon for players who prefer to set up on a hill or rooftop and eliminate enemies from a distance. Its exceptional damage and range make it a formidable choice for aspiring marksmen, though it heavily relies on accuracy to be effective. Naturally, it pairs best with the Recon Class, which grants faster rechambering speed and the ability to steady your aim by holding your breath.
Run the following attachments:
- 26” Carbon (Barrel)
- Low-Profile Subby (Underbarrel)
- DLC Bolt (Bolt)
- S-VPS 6.00X (Scope)
- Tungsten Core (Ammunition)
- 50 MW Blue (Laser)
Best M87A1 Build
The M87A1 is easily one of the most overpowered weapons in the Beta right now, especially when paired with the Assault Class and equipped in the Gadget Slot. This pump-action Shotgun delivers immense stopping power at close range, making it perfect for clearing out buildings and holding key chokepoints with reliable one-shot kills. While its range is naturally limited, it remains surprisingly forgiving even in more open areas.
Here is the optimal setup:
- 20” Factory (Barrel)
- Ribbed Stubby (Underbarrel)
- 5 Shell Tube (Magazine)
- Flechette (Ammunition)
- 5MW Red (Top Accessory)
Best M4A1 Build
Up next is the M4A1, a Carbine that excels in close-quarters to medium-range encounters. With a solid time-to-kill, fast fire rate, exceptional handling, and surprisingly accurate hipfire, it works well as a main weapon or as a Sniper support option for the Assault Class.
Recommended setup:
- Compensated Brake (Muzzle)
- 11.5” Commando (Barrel)
- Ribbed Vertical (Underbarrel)
- 30RND Magazine (Magazine)
- Soft Point (Ammunition)
- 5 MW Green (Top Accessory)
- OSA-7 1.00x (Scope)
Best M417 A2 Build
If you want a powerful, heavy-hitting weapon, the M417 A2 is a strong choice. This Carbine works well across multiple classes, capable of killing in as few as three shots. With the right attachments, it can be tuned for low recoil, making it ideal for medium-to-long-range engagements.
Recommended build:
- Shortened Suppressor (Muzzle)
- 16.5” Rifle (Barrel)
- 25 RND Magazine (Magazine)
- Full Metal Jacket (Ammunition)
- 6H64 Vertical (Underbarrel)

Best KTS100 MK8 Build
Last up is the KTS100 MK8, the second Light Machine Gun available in the Battlefield 6 Beta. This weapon excels at long range, offering strong suppressive fire and extremely fast eliminations. While its bloom and vertical recoil can be harsh, the right attachments make it surprisingly accurate.
Here’s the recommended build:
- 508mm MK8 (Barrel)
- Shortened Suppressor (Muzzle)
- Folded Vertical (Underbarrel)
- 60RND Magazine (Magazine)
- PVQ-41 4.00x (Scope)
