Battlefield 6 Open Beta Attachment System Explained

Here is a guide on what you need to know about the new attachment system in Battlefield 6 Open Beta, including the class-based perk system.

The Battlefield 6 Open Beta showcased its new weapons system, including the attachments. Instead of swapping out attachments on the fly, the new system features a pick-100 loadout mechanic. Each attachment now has a respective point value. You then need to build your loadout without surpassing the 100-point threshold for each weapon. On top of that, the class system also incentivized players to stick to their specialized weapons without forcing them to do so.

There is a lot to unpack, so here is a guide on how the attachment system works in the Battlefield 6 Open Beta.

How Does the Attachment System Work in Battlefield 6?

Battlefield 6 ditches Battlefield 2042’s Plus System and goes for a more tactical “Pick-100” loadout system. This means players now choose attachments with a limited allowance.

Each attachment in the game has its own point value, and players will need to choose wisely to avoid going over the 100-point limit. This compels players to make difficult choices about whether to focus on range, recoil management, or mobility.

This layout change promotes reflective customization over mid-match improvisation. For example, if you equip your rifle with a long barrel and heavy optic, you may have to give up quick ADS speed or hip-fire stability. It is less flexible now compared to earlier titles. However, it adds another element to consider before you join the match.

What Are Signature Weapon Perks in Battlefield 6 Open Beta?

On top of the new attachment system in Battlefield 6 Open Beta, there is also a class-based perk system. This means players gain bonus buffs if they use their class’ designated weapons. Keep in mind that the game does not force you to use a specific weapon for your class. You can always use other weapons based on your preference. However, using a signature weapon for your class does give you a slight advantage in the game.

With that said, here is a list of all classes and their signature weapons and perks:

Class	Signature Weapon	Perk
Assault	Assault Rifle	Faster weapon draw and swap, along with faster recovery after sprinting.
Engineer	Sub Machine Guns (SMG)	Enhanced hip-fire accuracy.
Support	Machine Guns	Can sprint with a weapon in hand without reduction to sprint speed.
Recon	Sniper Rifles	Can hold breath for steadier aim and cycle to the next shot faster.

The buffs do not provide massive advantages in the Battlefield 6 Open Beta. However, they can be a nice bonus if you specialize in those weapons with your class. That said, you can always use other weapons, especially with how powerful the M87A1 shotgun currently is.
