Best Meta Weapons for Battlefield 6 Season 2

Excellent and easy to use rifle. Relatively low recoil and stable for medium to long range.

A fast-killing SMG with a blistering fire rate. Almost no vertical recoil and doesn't suffer from small magazine size like some other high DPS SMGs.

The fastest-killing LMG is up close and carries a solid TTK at long range. It does flower a fair amount though.

Very easy to control with predictable recoil patterns. Boasting a solid TTK and is a heavy hitter. Ideal for long distance engagements.

Relatively low damage drop-off at long range, with a big buff to control in Season 2. However, it still needs some improvement to reduce its upper kick.

Arguably the fastest-killing SMG is close if all bullets hit their mark. Incredibly high skill weapon, thanks to its low magazine size.

Medium fire rate with high level of damage. Although mostly a sleeper, it's an excellent close-to-mid-range carbine that can outgun most SMGs and ARs.

Excellent DMR that is new in season 2. While not the hardest hitter in the category, it boasts a solid fire rate, excellent accuracy and fast recoil.

Very controllable recoil, mostly upward kick, and an excellent TTK.

Still a top class carbine. Fast fire rate and a decent level of control. Ideal for medium-range gunfights.

Excellent close-to-mid range assault rifle with fast TTK. Limited only by its small magazine size.

There is no damage drop-off at long range, and while the damage itself isn't the highest, the fact that it doesn't drop makes it one of the best LMGs damage-wise from a distance.

Excellent sniper rifle for all scenarios. The bullet has the second-best level of velocity, is decently fast, and is excellent for 75 to 120 meters.

The best secondary in the game so far. Slightly less damage than M44 but better rate of fire. A reliable two-shot kill and holds more rounds.

Arguably the second-best secondary. Excellent stopping power and can one-shot to the head. Stiff recoil and low fire rate, however.

The easiest full-auto weapon to use in the game. Boasting almost zero recoil and can be used for all ranges. The only caveat is its relatively low damage compared to faster kill options.

A powerful long-range carbine that packs a serious punch. However, less suffers from magazine size.

Comparable to QBZ-192 and often faster kill. The great hipfire is spread, but bounces back and boasts the spread. More suitable for close-range shooters.

Boasting a fast TTK and a decent amount of recoil control to boot. Also, it has the largest magazine in the category, perfect for taking on multiple opponents.

Excellent beginner LMG. Middle of the pack TTK but very easy to control. Excellent for crowd control at medium range.

Boasting the second-best level of damage in the shotgun class, but a high rate of fire. One of the best TTKs is close range and has comparable damage range to the M87A1.

Best damage-per-shot of the shotgun class. Consistently achieves one-shot kills at close range and provides the best range.

Mathematically, this is the second fastest killing SMG in the game. Limited by its small magazine size, its extended magazine attachments provide very few ammo boosts. An incredibly highly efficient weapon.

Stable assault rifle with a decent level of control for medium to long range. However, its damage is on the low side and most assault rifles outclass it.

Very low recoil and accuracy, but its damage and rate of fire are on the low side compared to most Assault Rifles.

The sniper rifle has the best muzzle velocity of the category. It is ideal for extreme long ranges, but has less control and speed than other options.

A remarkably decent DMR. Slow firing and hard-hitting, and very easy to control thanks to the slow rate of fire, it's a guaranteed two-shot kill at all ranges. Ideal for long range, but not great up close.

The slowest fire rate of the semi-auto secondaries, but it packs a punch with serious damage.

It boasts the lowest rate of fire of the carbines, but is tied with many for high damage. Decent for close range fights due to its low velocity, but not exactly a standout gun for the class.

Relatively low damage-per-shot coupled with a high rate of fire. Low recoil and extremely accurate, but it is outclassed by a fair number of other SMGs in the TTK.

Extremely low recoil. Great versatility at medium range for an SMG, but not exactly a quick-kill option, ranking behind several options, including the PW5A3.

A heavy-hitting LMG built for long-range gunfights. However, horizontal spread of arms is difficult to control, requiring attachment overhauls to minimize it.

Low recoil and ideal for long distances. Although the LMG is the slowest kill of the category.

Has a slightly better TTK than alternatives like the UMG-40 and is very accurate for mid-range. However, its hipfire accuracy and precision take a hit.

Boasting a solid TTK for the LMG. However, its rebound is decidedly on the stiff side, with very little climbing and horizontal stretching.

It has the highest fire rate of the shotgun category. Excellent TTK at close range, but second-poorest at range.

Not a bad sniper rifle by any means. It's more suited to short-range fights, but that niche is filled by the Mini Scout. It does boast good damage-per-shot though.

Easily the best DMR for mid-range fights. However, many fully-auto weapons are particularly beat.

High damage coupled with a faster than average fire rate. Very difficult to use remotely, though.

Excellent bullet velocity in secondary class and superfast fire rate. Not exactly the best secondary option, but still a decent idea.

Better damage range than ES 5.7 and dishes out slightly more damage, but with a slower rate of fire. Significantly lower bullet velocity, however.

It has a faster rate of fire than other pump shotguns thanks to the fact that it fires two rounds before re-chambering. However, this category has the lowest range.

Second-best bullet velocity. Decent for long-range encounters and a good magazine size to boot. However, it aims to fill the space already taken.

Similar damage profile to ES 5.7, but with a significantly slower fire rate. The quick damage fall-off, and the fact that it aims to fill a contested slot, hold this secondary back compared to other options.
