I think I've found the actual best gun in the Battlefield 6 beta, and it's not the M87A1
In the Battlefield 6 beta, while the M87A1 shotgun is notorious for its overpowered slug rounds, the real standout is the M4A1 carbine. Offering a blend of assault rifle range with SMG handling, it excels in medium-range combat. With a 900rpm fire rate and decent damage, it can outgun most SMGs, albeit with some recoil issues that can be managed. The early unlock of Soft Point bullets enhances its headshot damage, making it lethal in skilled hands. While the game’s maps favor close-quarters combat, the M4A1’s versatility shines through. Its attachments allow for customization based on playstyle, ensuring it remains adaptable. However, the fear of a potential nerf looms as EA tends to adjust balance frequently. Overall, if you master the M4A1, it can be a game-changer in your arsenal. Just keep an eye on those patch notes!
