Season 2 shook up the gunplay in Battlefield 6 with big recoil changes and weapon buffs. The result? Some weapons that now feel way stronger than the rest, and they’re worth picking up if you want to dominate on the battlefield.
1. M123K – Heavy Hitter That Never Stops
This light machine gun is a monster after Season 2 adjustments. It fires around 830 rounds per minute and has a massive 100-round belt, so it chews through enemies in close fights. Its aim-down-sight time is crazy fast for an LMG, so you can react almost as quick as if you were running an SMG. Very good for suppressing enemies and holding positions.
2. M277 – The Carbine With New Life
Once overlooked, the M277 carbine got a big boost in Season 2. It now hits consistently at medium range with stable recoil and flat damage that’s easy to work with. If you like flexibility and don’t want to swap guns when fights change pace, this one feels great.
3. AK-4D – Punchy Assault Rifle With Tamed Recoil
This assault rifle used to kick like a mule, but Season 2 calm-ed that down. The base damage is strong and now it’s smooth enough to control at mid-range. It’s slower than some rifles, but each shot hits hard, making it a favorite for players who take the time to aim.
4. TR7 – One-Tap Threat
Season 2 changed this one into a headshot machine. With high headshot damage and manageable recoil, players who hit their shots can take down foes fast. It’s ideal for aggressive moves and flanking. Attachments that help stability and precision make this one lethal.
5. M433 – A Hidden Beast (Community Favorite)
This isn’t always on every “OP” list, but players on forums say the M433 is strong once you learn its recoil pattern. It packs serious damage at most ranges and pairs well with attachments that tame horizontal kick.
Honorable Mentions:
Season 2 also added new weapons you might want to try out, like the VCR-2 assault rifle and M121 A2 light machine gun from the battle pass. These aren’t on every “most overpowered” list yet, but some players test them and find them fun and strong in the right hands.
Quick tip: Season 2 made recoil easier to manage overall, so weapons that used to be hard to handle are now much smoother. That’s part of why guns like the AK-4D and TR7 climbed so fast in the meta.
