Battlefield 6’s Signature Weapons System to Be Similar to BF4 Confirmed
Earlier today, Electronic Arts (EA) officially confirmed the new Battlefield game will be titled “Battlefield 6” with the reveal trailer hitting on Thursday, July 22, 2025.
Not only that, but yesterday, the Battlefield 6 open beta was announced, where DICE revealed that players will be getting two separate playlists where they can test signature weapons locked behind classes, with one being open (meaning all classes can wield any weapon).
If you’re wondering what signature weapons are for each class, it seems DICE is following Battlefield 4.
Battlefield 6’s Signature Weapons and Classes Will Be Familiar for BF4 Players
Over on X (formerly Twitter), Battlefield 6 Lead Producer David “tiggr” Sirland confirmed that DMR’s, shotguns, and carbines will be available to all classes, and the signature weapon means the following:
- Locked Assault Rifles to Assault
- Locked Submachine guns to Engineer
- Locked Lightmachine guns to Support
- Locked Snipers to Recon
As you can see, this is exactly the way BF4 did it back in 2013. Given how Battlefield 4 is considered one of the best — if not the best — Battlefield games in franchise history, it’s hard to argue why DICE followed this route.
Bear in mind, there will be two playlists, so the other one will feature all weapons available to all classes. So, there is a chance DICE opts for this one, since it all depends on the players and I assume, the data DICE collects during the open beta.
So far, based on what we’ve seen from BF Labs, Battlefield 6 is headed in the right direction with character skins that don’t look goofy, and even the gun customization looks to be a natural evolution.
Are you happy with this news, or would you rather DICE shake it up a bit?
