Island hopping is back in Battlefield along with the long-awaited naval warfare gameplay. The release of Tsuru Reef takes players out of densely populated city centers and into a coastal paradise. Players participating this season will be faced with long sightlines, coastal flanks, and lots of sniping. Because of these new challenges, players need to adapt their loadouts to match the environment. This guide details the best weapon to use for each class and why, along with the reasons behind the choice of attachments.

The M16A4 is heralded as one of the best weapons in the game for a while now. It's accurate and capable of performing excellently at all ranges.

While it may seem counterintuitive to have a long-range SMG, the P90 was designed exactly for that purpose. Thanks to its naturally high bullet velocity and amazing fire rate, its TTK is amazing regardless of range. The only challenge when using this weapon is landing your shots consistently. With these attachments, landing headshots in close to medium engagements won't be a problem.

The RPK-74M is a dual-purpose squad support weapon. It can be customized for sustained fire over a large area or for precision targeting. For Tsuru Reef, this build focuses on precision targeting and headshots. The RPK has seemingly low stats: 20 damage and a 685 rate of fire can make the weapon seem underpowered. However, with Synthetic Tips, it bumps the headshot multiplier up to 1.80x. Paired with a medium range scope, headshots at long ranges are possible thanks to the massive bullet velocity boost given by the barrel.

Snipers in BF6 depend mostly on the user. However, many consider the M2010 ESR to be the gold standard for sniping. It has amazing bullet velocity and can be fired fast enough to make follow-up shots.
Weapon Loadouts Explained
Tsuru Reef is a large map with tons and tons of open space. Multiple sightlines, angles of attack, and boats deeper in the map necessitate lots of range. Because of these factors, the weapon attachments prioritize stability and accuracy. While the weapon loadouts have been optimized for medium- to long-range combat, these loadouts can still be taken into any regular map. They generally have little to no recoil, allowing for easy follow-up shots at a distance or just lasering them down when in close.
