Best Weapons by Class

Assault: The M4A1 Carbine and NVO-228E dominate Season 1 with perfect balance of damage, fire rate, and accuracy. The Kord 6P67 is also excellent for players who prefer laser-accurate weapons.

Engineer: SGX (starter SMG) and PW7A2 are the top SMG picks, while the M87A1 Shotgun absolutely dominates close-quarters combat with one-shot potential.

Support: PKP Pecheneg is the undisputed LMG king with devastating damage and suppression. Support is arguably the strongest class in Season 1.

Recon: M2010 ESR for traditional sniping with one-shot headshots, or SV-98/SVD for more aggressive playstyles.

Season 1 Meta Overview

The Season 1 meta favors high fire rate weapons with good accuracy. Assault rifles dominate medium-range engagements, while SMGs excel in close-quarters. Snipers remain strong for long-range control. The Support class has been significantly buffed, making LMGs more viable than in previous Battlefield titles.
