Best Battlefield Redsec weapons and meta tier list

The best weapons and guns in the Battlefield Redsec meta include good options across all the different types, from Kord 6P67 assault rifle and M4A1 carbine for strong assault options, the UMG-40 and PW5A3 SMGs for close quarters, or the M2010 ESR dominating sniping

Of course, you might have those weapons unlocked yet so it's helpful to know what to prioritize while you progress as, while the Redsec meta isn't broken by any means, it definitely seems as though there's a hierarchy in all the weapons at play that's worth understanding.

With that in mind, let's get into the best guns in Redsec, and what you should be looking for from the moment you drop in.

Best weapons tier list for Redsec

Below we've arranged all the best weapons in Battlefield Redsec into a full tier list for the current meta. Keep in mind that this won't necessarily sync up with the best Battlefield 6 weapons, as the different game modes and mechanics impact gameplay significantly. For example, the M87A1 shotgun is no longer capable of a one-shot kill now that armor plates are a factor, making it significantly less powerful than it was in Battlefield 6. With that explained, let's look at the tier list. We should also add that we haven't included pistols, as they're effectively all off the list, as they come so far beneath the rest of these weapons.

These weapons are the absolute best of the meta in Redsec at time of writing. They won't guarantee victory, but you won't have a better chance than when you're using these guns, so make sure you know how to get your loadout in Redsec and prepare to call them in.

What are the best weapons in Battlefield Redsec?

Right now the community around Battlefield Redsec is unanimous – the best weapons in the current meta are the Kord 6P67 assault rifle and the M2010 ESR sniper rifle, both of which can be game-changers if used right.

The Kord is a versatile assault rifle with good recoil control and decent range, meaning it can make accurate shots at a comfortable distance. Meanwhile, the M2010 is capable of huge damage over long distances, and considering that the Battlefield Redsec map is full of long sightlines, that makes sniping and long-range a major part of the meta.
