Best assault rifles to use in Battlefield 6
Kord 6P67
The Kord 6P67 is the top AR pick for Battlefield 6 and REDSEC due to its high accuracy, low recoil, and fast fire rate (750 RPM). It features a two-round burst mode, making it extremely effective at distances up to 80 meters.
Its excellent accuracy and recoil control make it consistent in medium to long-range fights. However, the high fire rate can lead to ammo wastage, so you have to be a little careful about that.
