Best Assault Rifles for Redsec

The best Battlefield 6 and Redsec Assault Rifles right now vary between game modes, but there are some consistencies. Versatility and accuracy over the mid-range dominate the meta, as the AR is basically meant to be something of a jack-of-all-trades when it comes to guns in BF6. Below we'll explain all the best Assault Rifles in Battlefield 6, as well as in Redsec, and what you need to know about them, all updated for Battlefield 6 Season 2.

Best Battlefield 6 Assault Rifles

For regular Battlefield 6 multiplayer, you can get away with using basically any of the ARs as they all kill very quickly at close-range, making some of them the best weapons in Battlefield 6. However, there are several that stand out depending on the map and mode you're playing on:

Kord 6P67: It's all about the Kord right now. It's right in the middle of control, range, and damage output, putting all other ARs second.
B36A4: Brought under control by updates, the B36 is a good weapon that excels at mid-range, and if you can control the kick even further, it can serve as a long-range rifle nicely.
M433: High rate of fire and recoil make it tough to control, but if you can use attachments that will placate it, it can shred opponents like it was an SMG.

Some of the best weapons in Battlefield Redsec right now are assault rifles, topping the meta for their versatility and damage output.

Kord 6P67: The undisputed superior AR right now, the Kord has great accuracy, good range, and a high fire rate, but still has a manageable recoil.
SOR-556 Mk2: A long range assault rifle that thrives at a distance, this is a great weapon for picking off foes from rooftops, even serving as a counter sniper.
NVO-228E: A punchy assault rifle with a bit of recoil on it, once you can control this beast, few can survive its attacks.

Ultimately it's all about the Kord 6P67 right now, which is the undisputed leader of ARs and top of the Battlefield Redsec weapon meta. Ultimately all of these weapons need to be specced for control and accuracy as a priority, building all those guns into beams with which you can make pinpoint shots.
