Top 3 Weapons For Each Category In Battlefield 2042

[@Cos_]

I just started playing a few days ago and this is a huge help. This is my first battlefield game since BF4 so I’m really excited to get back into the franchise! Thanks dude!

[@M107Gaming]

Glad i could help boss✌️

[@StayProteus]

I stared playing bf with bf1 and honestly my favorite is still bfv but I haven’t played it at all in the past year or two until like a week ago and this time I tried it on pc and my ping was crazy so I didn’t play much but if you buy the EA pass or whatever for like $12 a month you can play I think all bf games so if you can get it with low ping and everything I think you’d like it way more than 2042. bf 1 is also great I just prefer bfv, the only issue with both of them is that if you play it on pc or with cross play enabled you’ll get hackers every so often but it’s not too bad, also with bf1 you’ll have to look at a video on how to find servers because the automatic match making doesn’t really work well anymore and the server browser isn’t intuitive at all and if you try and use it the way common sense would tell you to then you won’t find any servers because it’s just stupid the way it’s designed

M5A3 definitely deserves a spot on this list because of its versatility. With a CQ, extended and high-powered mags, also access to a 6x scope, also having shortened and extended barrels this gun can be used as an SMG, an AR and a DMR, so you can always adapt to any range.

[@M107Gaming]

What do you think about The M5 with short barrel and standard issue? I guess it's the most versatile setup for an AR...

[@FurballGamer]

@@M107Gaming I mostly use the short barrel with the CQ mag and muzzle break/compensator with the extended mag, because the CQ mag and short barrel is pretty good even at short-mid range. But yeah, can also work that way. This is why this gun so good, because of the mix-matching all the options it provide.

On small maps, the RPT LMG with short barrel and standard ammo is insane

i run the rpt with short barrel and highpower on every map, its a great mix of being able to put alot damage out at range and high enough fire right that with the blue laser you can mop people at close range too

I don't know if they secretly buffed the aek recently but it seems to be my best ar at the moment

[@M107Gaming]

Yeah AEK has always been a beast. The problem with it as I've mentioned in the video, is the inability to engage with medium range targets compared to MTAR.

[@eelnikar]

@M107Gaming I would have agreed with you a few months ago but I was switching between the two guns in matches and the aek was more consistent with burst firing at longer ranges which is not what it did a few months ago.

[@M107Gaming]

@@eelnikar I'll give it a try but i think AEK is a close range weapon only. Don't think people who play it actually expect it to do great in range

[@Crash915]

Great guide. Is there any advantages to not filling all of the weapon attachment slots or was that purely for the video?

[@alkoholikerensnill6810]

No advantages, just for the video. Fill them slots out

[@grimnir27]

I run as few attachments as possible. Cycling through them is faster that way

[@M107Gaming]

Thanks mate. To be honest, i usually just max out on the mags with every gun, but i only use one Underbarrel and one Barrel attachment. I've seen people maxing out every attachment slot but that's not what i usually do. It really depends on your play style. For the AK-24, when i play i just use the underbarrel grenade launcher and that's it, but when i play let's say a sniper rifle, i usually max out on both magazines and scopes. So it's really just a matter of one's playstyle and preferences. I also have a 3X scope on all my ARs as a secondary option alongside the Red Dot Sight to be able to engage with targets at longer ranges if need be. If you feel like you need more attachments, then feel free to use all the slots. Cheers...

Another really good SMG is the AC9. It’s not very versatile, but it absolutely shreds in close quarters. I believe it as the fastest possible ttk among the SMG’s.

[@parkaller7959]

Also, I recommend filling out underbarrel and barrel slots for almost every gun. Switching to a suppressor or a long barrel can be real helpfull at times. Same thing goes for underbarrel. Especially If the gun has underbarrel grenade launchers. Fill out with every grenade launcher. The more, the better.

[@M107Gaming]

I agree AC9 is also a DEMON in close range arguably better than K30

It could be very useful for beginners like me that just picked it up after the sale

[@M107Gaming]

Sure man. Some muzzle attachments actually increase ADS accuracy in the expense of hip fire accuracy so some people use those kinds of attachments on some weapons. Some under barrel attachments also increase accuracy but It depends mostly on your playstyle so you must choose one fitting yours. For example if you tend to move a lot while shooting, the LWG Grip is a better choice for you whereas if you stand still while shooting, then go for the Cobra Grip. Hope this helps! Check the description for attachments in-game. those might help you choose the better ones! @@Zero05550

I don't remember the PP-29 being nerfed lately... The thing is, PP-29 is generally a fast weapon. The tactical reload takes like 1.5s. Take a look at the stats of other SMGs.
