A whole new battlefield has arrived. Welcome to Fort Lyndon, the battle royale map in Battlefield REDSEC.
When you drop into Fort Lyndon, you will need to be geared up to take on the enemies around you, on top of the wall of fire that is ever-encroaching and looking to kill you in one hit. That's why you need to be equipped with the knowledge of the best guns and loadouts in Battlefield REDSEC.
Here are our picks for the best guns to use in REDSEC depending on your class.
Battlefield REDSEC weapons meta
To get your custom loadout weapons, you can earn a Custom Weapon Drop during a match or find them as they will sometimes land around the map periodically in each game. But first, you need to find some ground loot to keep yourself prepared to deal with oncoming attackers.
In REDSEC, just like BF6, weapons are not restricted to your class, but each class specializes in different weapons. This means that the best weapon to use depends on what class you're using.
Complete Battlefield REDSEC weapons tier list
REDSEC offers all 45 weapons that are also present in Battlefield 6. However, the meta for the battle royale will be different due to the nature of the mode itself. That said, you'll once again want to use really meta choices to defeat your enemies and become the last team standing.
To separate the weapons, I have used four tiers.
- S-tier weapons are the best choices for the current meta.
- A-tier weapons are good choices that have slight limitations compared to the options in the S-tier.
- B-tier weapons can be decent options if you can bypass their weaknesses with the correct attachments.
- C-tier weapons work poorly in the current meta, and it's best to avoid them unless you don't have an option.
The table below has every weapon classified according to its respective meta rating.
| Tier | Assault Rifle | SMG | Sniper | LMG | Carbine | Shotgun | DMR |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| S | Kord 6P67 M433 |
UMG-40 SGX SL9 (only if you can control its hit registrations) |
M2010 ESR SV-98 |
L110 RPKM |
M4A1 QBZ-192 |
N/A | SVDM |
| A | Sor-556 Mk2 Nvo-228E B36A4 |
PW5A3 KV9 |
PSR | DRS-IAR KTS100 Mk8 M60 M123K |
SG-554R AK-205 |
M87A1 | LMR27 M39 EMR |
| B | AK4D | SCW-10 PW7A2 |
N/A | M240L | M277 GRTZ-BC |
M1014 | SVK-8.6 |
| C | L85A3 TR-7 |
USG-90 | N.A | M250 | N/A | 18.5KS-K | N/A |
The only category of weapons missing from the table above is the Handgun. You can use any that you find, and they will hardly make much of a difference in my experience. In REDSEC, just like BF6, weapons are not restricted to your class, but each class specializes in different weapons. This means that the best weapon to use depends on what class you're using.
Best Assault loadout in Battlefield REDSEC
The Assault class is perfect for opening up new paths on the battlefield. With the Assault class, you can reach areas that will otherwise remain inaccessible, setting up new strategic benefits for yourself and your squad. Your gadgets also work well with most weapons inside the game, which acts as a bonus.
| Category | Choice |
|---|---|
| Primary Weapon | KORD 6P67 |
| Secondary Weapon | M45A1 |
| Gadget 1 | M87A1 |
| Gadget 2 | High Explosive Launcher |
| Throwable | Frag Grenade |
Best Engineer loadout in Battlefield REDSEC
With REDSEC getting a tank, it becomes pretty important for the Engineer to take all kinds of enemy vehicles down. The Engineer has gadgets and abilities that do bonus damage to vehicles, including tanks. If you're uncomfortable with default weapon choices, just switch to an LMG.
| Category | Choice |
|---|---|
| Primary Weapon | SCW-10 |
| Secondary Weapon | M45A1 |
| Gadget 1 | MAS 148 or RPG-7V2 |
| Gadget 2 | AV Mine |
| Throwable | Frag Grenade |
Best Support loadout in Battlefield REDSEC
The Support is a powerful class, as you can provide your team with more ammo and armor. You will often become the difference between your squad running out of supplies and having enough bullets to shred the enemies. Your proficiency with the LMGs means that it's your job to lay down suppression fire.
| Category | Choice |
|---|---|
| Primary Weapon | SCW-10 |
| Secondary Weapon | P18 |
| Gadget 1 | Defibrilator |
| Gadget 2 | Grenade Intercept System |
| Throwable | Smoke Grenade |
Best Recon loadout in Battlefield REDSEC
The Recon's primary role is to hit from a distance with the help of sniper rifles. Your gadgets are also focused on creating a veil so that you can stay hidden for a longer period of time. In REDSEC, your primary task is to scout the enemies from a distance and mark them for your team.
| Category | Choice |
|---|---|
| Primary weapon | M2010 ESR |
| Secondary weapon | M45A1 |
| Gadget 1 | C4 Explosives |
| Gadget 2 | AP Mine |
| Throwable | Frag Grenade or Proximity Detector |
