Best weapons you can use to dominate in Battlefield 6 Open Beta weekend two
There are seven different weapon classes in the game, and naturally, each of them has its very own meta guns in the mix. Depending on which character class you are choosing and the kind of playstyle that suits you, we have curated a list of the best weapons from different classes that you can use in BF6.
Here is a list of all the meta weapons in Battlefield 6 Open Beta right now:
- NVO-228E - Assault Rifle
- PW7A2 - SMG
- L110 - LMG
- M4A1 - Carbine
- SVK-8.6 - DMR
- M87A1 - Shotgun
NVO-228E - Assault Rifle

Assault rifles serve as the jack-of-all-trades. Amongst the different ARs available in-game, we believe that the NVO-228E is the best meta assault rifle currently during the weekend two of the BF6 open beta. Its high rate of fire, accuracy, and consistency across medium-range combat make it the perfect pick for all players. The gun also offers great mobility, allowing you to quickly reposition during gunfights.

PW7A2 - SMG
When it comes to choosing the best SMG, we believe PW7A2 is the right pick. It outperforms other guns in its class. Its close-range capability is terrifying. It's an extremely high rate of fire that shreds through enemies, eviscerating them from sight with ease.
L110 - LMG
If you're a Support player, LMG is going to be your best friend. The L110 is, in our opinion, one of the weapons to use in Battlefield 6. Its suppressive fire capability is great, but better yet, it can dish out some serious damage in mid-range combat.
M4A1 - Carbine

The M4A1 Carbine has a high fire rate and is a fantastic weapon to use for close-mid range combat. It does have a strong recoil kick, but if you can master it, it arguably snatches the top spot when it comes to choosing the best weapons in Battlefield 6.
If you can withstand its strong kickback, you can easily shred enemies from far away. Its versatility makes it meta-tier in the game. Grinding a few matches with this gun can easily help you unlock some of the better attachments, which would also help you tame this gun.

SVK-8.6 - DMR
If slow and precise gunplay is your forte, the SVK-8.6 is the perfect pick for you. Offering more mobility than a sniper rifle but packing a much stronger punch than an AR, Designated Marksmen Rifles, or DMRs, fill the vacuum between the aforementioned weapon classes.
The SVK-8.6 is smooth, stable, and extremely precise. If your shooting approach is slow and calculated, this weapon can net you some easy kills across quite long distances.
Although DMRs are for ranged situations, you can run around with them in the Assault class to one-shot weakened enemies with ease. It is a risky playstyle that puts you in an unforgiving scenario more often while making you a key piece in conquering objectives in the frontlines with high damage output.
M87A1 - Shotgun

The M87A1 shotgun is arguably the best weapon to use in Battlefield 6. It is the strongest shotgun in the game. A default accessible weapon for the Assault class, you can easily plough through enemy forces with this weapon. Being a shotgun, it of course dominates in close-quarter gunplay, but is versatile enough to be used for medium-range combat if necessary.
