Battlefield 6 Weapon Stats Explained
There are nine weapon stats in Battlefield 6 that dictate how your weapons perform. To better customize your weapons, you need to know what these stats do and which attachments influence them. Below is a breakdown of each stat, its effects, and the attachments that positively affect 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 (Right/Left Accessory), some Barrels |
| Precision | The grouping of your bullet pattern and accuracy. Higher stat means a tighter pattern. | Brake Muzzles, Converter Muzzle, Underbarrel Grips, etc. |
| Control | The reticle movement in any direction after firing. Better control makes recoil easier to manage, especially full-auto. | Brake Muzzles, Underbarrel Grips, etc. |
| Mobility | Your movement speed while the weapon is equipped, including while firing (hipfire and ADS). | Blue Laser, Ribbed Stubby Underbarrel, Smaller Magazines, etc. |
| Fire Modes | The ability to switch between fully automatic, burst, and single-shot fire modes. Not all guns have multiple modes. | N/A |
| Reload Time | The time between initiating a reload and being able to fire again. Lower number means faster reload. | Mag Catch, Smaller Magazines, etc. |
| Muzzle Velocity | Bullet speed. Slower bullets take longer to hit but may deal more damage; the inverse also applies. | Extended Barrel |
| ADS Time In | Time it takes to bring the scope up after pressing the aim button. The smaller the number, the quicker the speed. | Stubby Grips |
| Headshot Multiplier | Multiplier for headshot damage. Multiply body shot damage by this number for headshot damage, rounded up. | Hollow Point & Synthetic Ammunition |
The Four Main Stats You’ll Focus On
The first four stats—Hipfire, Precision, Control, and Mobility—are the primary ones you’ll consider when selecting attachments. Here’s a quick guide to prioritizing them:
- Hipfire: Usually important for SMGs and Shotguns. This stat typically pairs with Mobility. Precision and Control can also help.
- Precision: Closely tied to Control. Better precision benefits weapons with a high rate of fire such as Assault Rifles (ARs), SMGs, and LMGs by tightening the bullet grouping.
- Control: Often targeted alongside Precision. Essential for weapons with high recoil or rapid fire, making it easier to keep the reticle on target. Low control means more manual adjustment is needed.
- Mobility: Ideal for run-and-gun builds. Mainly useful on SMGs and Shotguns if you move a lot; less necessary on ARs unless you frequently strafe during fights.
Other Stats to Consider
The remaining five stats remain important but usually to a lesser degree:
- Fire Modes: You can’t control which weapons have different firing modes but can switch between them in-game (press B on PC).
- Reload Time: Mostly influenced by class effects, Mag Catch, and smaller magazines. It’s often better to invest points elsewhere.
- Muzzle Velocity: Important for snipers to help hit long-range shots more reliably.
- ADS Time In: Critical if you prefer aiming down sights over hipfiring. A faster ADS time means quicker aiming.
- Headshot Multiplier: Increases the damage boost from headshots, helping reduce time-to-kill, especially useful for precision shooters.
Conclusion
Understanding and optimizing weapon stats in Battlefield 6 can significantly improve your performance. Focus primarily on Hipfire, Precision, Control, and Mobility based on your weapon and playstyle, and don’t overlook the benefits of the other stats for specific situations like sniping and quick aiming. Customize wisely and dominate the battlefield!
