The best Battlefield LMGs across Redsec and regular multiplayer are the same, with the KTS100 coming out on top. The LMGs category in general is quite varied, both in terms of how each gun feels and how they actually perform. Some are made for sticking in one spot for extended periods to defend objectives while others are much more run-and-gun friendly, behaving more like hefty assault rifles. This disparity means choosing the right gun for your loadout is crucial, so if you're dead set on lugging around a light machine gun in Conquest, Rush, or Redsec, here are the LMGs that we reckon are best in Battlefield 6.
Best Battlefield 6 LMGs
If you want to use an LMG in Battlefield, whether that's regular Battlefield 6 or Redsec, you should definitely be playing as the Battlefield 6 Support class to benefit from the minor Signature Weapon buff. Otherwise, there are several great options to pick from in the LMG category during Battlefield Season 2 – a couple even shine as some of the best Battlefield 6 weapons:
- KTS100 MK8: The KTS100 is the most accurate and controllable of all the LMGs, making it very easy to use. It's not the most lethal but you will be able to accurately fire upon enemy squads from all sorts of ranges, making it a great in any situation with the right attachments. It's also easily one of the best weapons in the game right now, topping the meta.
- DRS-IAR: If you're a support player who wants to run around the frontline a bit more, the DRS-IAR's assault rifle-like form helps with this a lot. It's similarly versatile to the KTS100 and can be kitted out with various attachments to suit all sorts of situations.
- L110: The bog-standard LMG of the bunch – a solid gun capable of dealing hefty damage or just suppressing enemies thanks to its large magazine, making it excellent for holding down objectives and fending off attackers.
- M250: This LMG has excellent range and is worth using for that alone, but it's high initial kick and relatively small magazine aren't ideal. However, the right attachments can significantly improve the M250 to the point that it's one of the best LMGs out there.
- RPK: Like the DRS-IAR, the RPK is one of the more mobile LMGs. It's got a slow fire rate and a small magazine but high damage per shot and good accuracy to compensate.
For Redsec specifically, LMGs aren't always the best option, and the Battlefield Redsec weapon meta is very much assault rifle and SMG-focused anyway. Obviously, if you're desperate to get rid of your LMG but can't find a better replacement, your best option is to call in a Battlefield Redsec loadout weapon.
