Every Weapon Stat in Battlefield 6 is Important
To customize a weapon to your preferred playstyle in Battlefield 6, you need to understand how each stat affects your gun’s handling. Misunderstanding these stats can cost you during combat, while mastering them will let you dominate the battlefield and earn some well-deserved praise in all-chat.
Battlefield 6 Weapon Stats Explained
There are nine weapon stats in Battlefield 6 that dictate how your weapons behave. To better customize your loadout, it’s crucial to know what each stat does and which attachments influence them. The table below outlines the stats, what they affect, and the attachments that can enhance them.
| Stat | What It Affects | Attachments (Positive Effect) |
|---|---|---|
| Hipfire | The reticle bloom speed when firing full-auto from the hip. A better stat keeps the reticle tighter for longer. | Laser and Flashlight for Right/Left Accessory, some barrels. |
| Precision | The grouping of the bullet pattern and the accuracy of your shots. The higher the stat, the tighter the pattern. | Brake Muzzles, Converter Muzzle, Underbarrel Grips, etc. |
| Control | The movement of the reticle in any direction after firing. A better stat makes recoil easier to manage, especially when firing full-auto. | Brake Muzzles, Underbarrel Grips, etc. |
| Mobility | Your movement speed with the weapon equipped, including movement speed while firing (hipfire and ADS). The higher the stat, the faster you move. | Blue Laser, Ribbed Stubby Underbarrel, Smaller Magazines, etc. |
| Fire Modes | The ability to switch between fully automatic, burst, and single-shot. Not all guns offer multiple firing modes. For example, most Assault Rifles only have Single/Auto, while most SMGs have all three. | N/A |
| Reload Time | The time between initiating a reload and being able to fire again. Lower values mean faster reload speed. | Mag Catch, Smaller Magazines, etc. |
| Muzzle Velocity | The speed of your bullet. Slower bullets take longer to reach the target but generally deal more damage; faster bullets hit sooner but may have less damage. | Extended Barrel |
| ADS Time In | How long it takes to bring the scope up to your eye after pressing the aim button. Lower numbers mean quicker aim speed. | Stubby Grips |
| Headshot Multiplier | The damage multiplier applied to headshots. Multiply body shot damage by this number to get headshot damage (rounded up). | Hollow Point & Synthetic Ammunition |
Which Stats to Prioritize
Weapon customization in Battlefield 6 is a very personal experience, but here are some general tips on which stats to focus on when selecting attachments:
Hipfire
Usually important only for SMGs and Shotguns. Hipfire often pairs well with Mobility. Precision and Control can also complement hipfire builds.
Precision
Closely tied to Control — it’s rare to improve one without the other. Weapons with high rates of fire like Assault Rifles, SMGs, and LMGs benefit from better precision, which tightens bullet spread and keeps shots centered.
Control
Ideal for high-recoil or high rate-of-fire weapons. A better Control stat reduces the effort needed to keep your reticle on target during sustained fire. Without it, you’ll have to compensate more actively with your mouse or controller stick.
Mobility
Useful mainly for run-and-gun styles, particularly with SMGs and Shotguns. While less critical on Assault Rifles, high Mobility can help if you actively strafe during firefights.
Other Stats
The remaining five stats are important but generally less impactful for most players:
– Fire Modes: You can’t control which weapons have different firing modes, but switching between them in-game (B key on PC) is possible.
– Reload Time: Influenced by class effects, Mag Catches, and smaller magazines. Usually not worth heavy investment over other stats.
– Muzzle Velocity: Key for snipers and long-range shooters to improve bullet travel time.
– ADS Time In: Critical for players who prefer aiming down sights over hipfire. Faster aim speeds help engage targets more quickly.
– Headshot Multiplier: A bonus for skilled aimers, this stat can shave precious milliseconds off your time-to-kill by dealing more damage with headshots.
Summary
Mastering weapon stats in Battlefield 6 can dramatically improve your gameplay experience. Focus primarily on Hipfire, Precision, Control, and Mobility based on your preferred playstyle and weapon choice. Meanwhile, keep an eye on other stats like Muzzle Velocity and ADS Time In if you engage in longer-range combat or rely heavily on aiming down sights.
Customize wisely, and get ready to dominate the battlefield!
