The M4A1 is the first carbine available in Battlefield 6, and although it's an early unlock, this weapon appears to be one of the most well-rounded and viable in the game's initial meta. The weapon is very effective for short and medium-range engagements, making it reliable in most scenarios.
If you are starting to grind the multiplayer and want to run an effective loadout for the M4A1, we have prepared a small guide for you.
Best M4A1 loadout in Battlefield 6
Once you level up a bit and unlock some attachments, here is the loadout we recommend for the M4A1 in Battlefield 6:
- Scope: Baker 3.00X
- Muzzle: Standard Suppressor
- Barrel: Extended
- Underbarrel: Classic Vertical
- Magazine: 30 Fast
- Ammunition: Penetration
- Ergonomics: Mag Catch
The barrel will increase the bullet velocity for the weapon, making it more deadly, and although this is an easy-to-control rifle, both the standard suppressor and the Classic Vertical underbarrel will keep the recoil under control.
The Baker 3.00X is an optic that will work well for medium and short-range engagements, where the weapon is more effective.
We will update this guide whenever a better attachment combination gets discovered or if a future update brings significant changes to the current meta.
