Sniping might not be everyone’s forte in Battlefield 6, but it can be yours if you know the loadout, the settings and some tips and tricks involved in mastering the sniping experience. If you want to become better at sniping and one-shot your targets, you’ve come to the right place. Here’s everything you need to improve your sniping in Battlefield 6.
1. Best Sniper Loadout in Battlefield 6
The M2010 ESR Sniper is truly the king of all snipers in Battlefield 6, and the best part is you don’t even need to grind to unlock it since it’s your starting sniper rifle. However, make sure you level it up and max out, so you can equip all attachments that will improve your gunplay on the battlefield.
Let’s start with the 26″ Carbon Extended Barrel. This extended Barrel increases projectile velocity, allowing you to aim down your sights quicker than before. For sniping, aiming down your sights is crucial, and anything that helps you scope in faster is always welcome. Deliver a headshot before your opponent pulls the trigger with a faster transition to ADS.
Next, we have the Low-Profile Stubby Grip Underbarrel, and like the 26″ Carbon, this one also offers a quicker transition to ADS. Hence, pairing both of them will allow you to scope in faster on your enemies. When it comes to Magazines, you’ll start with the 5RND Magazine, but the more you level up the M2010 ESR, the better attachments you’ll unlock in Battlefield 6.
The 5RND Magazine will work initially, but once you max out the sniper, equip the 8RND Magazine. Increased capacity offers more chances to take out enemies, and the only thing it costs is a slight hiccup to movement speed while aiming down sights. However, that’s where the Barrel and the Underbarrel come into play.
For Ammunition, aim for Match Grade Long-Range Ammo to reduce projectile drag and increase penetration and longer ranges. Helps you take on fights from farther distances. Scopes are the bread and butter of sniper rifles, so select the SSDS 6.00X scope for the M2010 ESR, which is probably the best scope in Battlefield 6. It offers the perfect balance for taking on enemies at mid to long ranges.
Finally, for the Ergonomics, select the DLC Bolt/ADS Bolt, which enables rechambering while aiming down sights. This means you can stay in your scope, shoot your shot and never have to leave aiming down sights to rechamber the next round, offering more stability and precision. Overall, this M2010 ESR loadout is about accuracy, smooth handling, snappy gunplay and quicker ADS.
2. Best Battlefield 6 Controller Settings for Sniping
Simply creating a great sniper loadout won’t cut it in Battlefield 6. To get better at sniping, you need skill, a bit of luck, and a bit of tweaking your controller settings to make your sniping experience more fluid and accurate. Here’s what your controller settings should be:
Changing these settings to the specific values offers a more controlled, accurate and precise sniping experience in Battlefield 6. However, if you want to go the extra mile, change your Zoom and Shoot button mappings on your controller from L2/LT and R2/RT to L1/LB to R1/RB.
Triggers are more immersive, sure, but bumpers are more responsive, especially when you’re using the M2010 ESR or any sniper, for that matter. You want to get your shot off as quickly as you can from the moment you press the buttons on the controller. You can also change the Crouch to R3/RSB since you will be crouching more when sniping for stable and precise shots in Battlefield 6.
3. Best Battlefield 6 Graphic Settings For Sniping
Graphics settings may seem unimportant when you’re sniping in Battlefield 6, but some of them may lead to unnecessary clutter on-screen, leading to a less-than-stellar sniping experience. Here’s what you should turn on or turn off to see everything clearly:
Less sway, less clutter, and more precision; that’s what these graphics settings aim to offer in Battlefield 6. Destruction is everywhere on the map, and it gets hard to see sometimes, so make sure your graphics settings don’t play a part in it.
4. Best Battlefield 6 HUD Settings for Sniping
HUD becomes very important during sniping in Battlefield 6, especially with crosshairs and indicators. You want to get a good look at every enemy that wants to gun you down before you take the shot. Here are the settings you should change when it comes to HUD in Battlefield 6:
Heavy emphasis on color, especially Color Profiles, which is accessed via the Accessibility Tab in Battlefield 6. Always make sure that your Friendly Color and Enemy Color are bright enough to be noticed in the midst of all the chaos and destruction on the battlefield. By default, they’re set to dull colors, so head to Color Profiles and turn them bright to be aware of everyone’s position and movement when sniping.
