Best Recon class build and loadout in BF6

Battlefield 6 is finally here, and you know what that means: you can now camp to your heart’s content, clicking heads no matter what’s happening to your objectives.

Ignoring the fact that you’re actively losing the game means nothing, even if professionals have standards. The only standard you’re following is the one keeping you at the top of the scoreboard (in no other category but the K/D ratio, of course). So, if you’re one of many playing as a Sniper Recon in Battlefield 6, this is the loadout guide for you.

Most optimal Recon loadout in Battlefield 6

The beauty of the Recon class is that it starts with its best weapon, the M2010 ESR. Whether you want to go for one of its many presets unlocked by playing and killing enemies, or to customize it yourself, the gun remains the top priority for the Recon. It’s fast, easy to use, and hits super hard, giving one-shot kills to the chest or head consistently. It has a wide array of attachments you can use to make it fit your playstyle, which can be either mid-range quick scoping or hard-scoping from distance.

As for the gadgets, it wouldn’t be Recon without C4 Explosives, which you can tack onto enemy vehicles in the absence of a good Engineer, or put on your own expendable crew’s jeep and send them to their (and the enemy’s) demise. To help protect you and your immediate surroundings, the Anti-personnel Mine (Claymore) is the perfect choice, and you can plant them at door entrances or other choke points and prevent enemies from sneaking up from behind.

A Proximity Detector can also help spot enemies that are nearby, though I prefer the Frag Grenade for its anti-personnel utility much more.

Of course, you’ll want the Sniper Training Path selected, as it gives you a host of bonuses for, as the name implies, sniping, which is probably the most common thing you’ll be doing as a Recon. With the loadout above, you should be able to maximize your output. Just make sure to aim well and take your time with each shot.
