Battlefield 6 B36A4 loadouts that tame recoil and extend range
Battlefield 6Three proven builds for medium-range control, stealth flanking, and fast close-quarters play.

The B36A4 is a G36-style assault rifle that looks ordinary at first and then quietly becomes a problem for the other team. Out of the box it kicks more than it should, but a few smart parts turn it into a low-drag, mid-range workhorse that lands strings of hits at speed. Expect a slower cyclic rate (about 720 RPM) and strong consistency once you’ve stabilized recoil and boosted bullet velocity.
Best B36A4 loadout for mid-range recoil control
This build does one thing: keep the sight steady so you can hold angles and win 20–40m fights. It favors brakes and vertical control over concealment.
Slot | Attachment | Why it’s here | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
Muzzle | Double‑Port Brake | Cuts climb and horizontal wiggle during bursts. | Compensated Brake is a fine swap if it’s what you have. |
Barrel | Extended 510MM Fluted | Improves ADS snap and raises bullet velocity for cleaner tracking at distance. | Expect velocity around 975 m/s with this barrel. |
Underbarrel | Ribbed Stubby | Excellent recoil control with a snappy ADS feel. | Use Alloy Vertical until this unlocks. |
Magazine | 36RND Fast Magazine | Gives forgiveness on multi-peeks with quick reloads. | Standard 30RND is fine if point budget is tight. |
Ammunition | Standard | Keeps handling neutral and cost low. | Save points for recoil parts. |
Optic | Mini Flex 1.00x or CCO 2.00x | Clear sight picture for head-high tracking. | Pick 1x for mixed maps, 2x for longer lanes. |
Accessory | 50MW Blue | Better hipfire and steadier ADS bloom. | 5mw Green is a lighter, low-cost alternative. |
How it plays: hold positions, feather the trigger in 3–5 round bursts, and let velocity and low jitter do the work. You’ll lose pure face-offs to faster rifles up close, so pre-aim and pre-fire corners when you can.

Best B36A4 loadout for stealth flanking (suppressed)
When you’d rather disappear off the minimap and chain picks from awkward angles, go quiet. This setup trades a little range and raw control for concealment and all-around stability.
Slot | Attachment | Why it’s here | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
Muzzle | CQB Suppressor | Hides shots and eliminates bright muzzle flash. | Plan routes that capitalize on silence. |
Barrel | 480 MG | Balances handling with sustained accuracy while suppressed. | Alternatively pair the suppressor with 510MM Fluted if you want more velocity. |
Underbarrel | Stippled Stubby | Reliable recoil control without heavy mobility penalties. | Downgrade to a cheaper grip if you need optic budget. |
Magazine | 30RND Magazine | Lightweight default works well for rotating and re-engaging. | Keep reloads disciplined between picks. |
Ammunition | Full Metal Jacket | Slightly stronger through light cover at mid-range. | Standard ammo remains a safe, low-cost choice. |
Optic | SU‑123 1.25x | Minimal visual clutter with a touch more precision than 1x. | Switch to a 2.0–2.5x if you hold longer sightlines. |
How it plays: work the edges, suppress an opening pick, then break contact and re-engage from a new lane. With this build, muzzle velocity typically lands around the high‑700s m/s, which is still comfortable at typical flanking distances.

Best B36A4 loadout for fast close‑quarters maps
Here the goal is SMG-like response. You’ll sacrifice reach, but the rifle becomes quick on the draw and controllable in short bursts while moving.
Slot | Attachment | Why it’s here | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
Muzzle | Flash Hider | Conceals muzzle flash without the point cost of a suppressor. | Saves budget for ADS-focused parts. |
Barrel | 391MM CQB | Faster ADS and better hipfire for tight spaces. | Accept the drop in bullet velocity. |
Underbarrel | Low Profile Stubby | Recoil help without gutting ADS speed. | Classic Vertical is steadier if you can eat the mobility hit. |
Magazine | 20 Fast | Rapid reload cadence for constant churning through fights. | Mind your round count; commit to target deletion, then reload. |
Ammunition | Standard | Best balance of cost and consistency for CQC. | Soft Point is viable if you lean into close-mid fights. |
Optic / Accessory | 1x reflex + 5mw Green | Clean sight and tighter hipfire when you have to shoot from the hip. | Keep magnification low; you’ll be sprinting and sliding into gunfights. |
How it plays: pre-aim common entries, commit to 6–10 round bursts, and use the faster reload loop to chain duels. If the lobby stretches engagements, swap the barrel back to 510MM Fluted and a 30‑round mag.

Early unlocks and smart substitutions
- Grip pathing: until the Ribbed Stubby or Classic Vertical unlocks, run Alloy Vertical or any basic vertical grip to start flattening bounce.
- Muzzle options: if the Double‑Port Brake isn’t available, the Compensated Brake is an easy, low-cost recoil fix. For stealth, the CQB Suppressor is the cleanest minimap solution.
- Barrel choices: 510MM Fluted is the most “free” performance at mid range thanks to velocity and ADS gains. Short CQB barrels are for map‑locked CQC.
- Optics: 1.0–1.25x for hybrid play, 2.0–2.5x when you’re anchoring longer lanes. Pick by map, not habit.
B36A4 handling profile (what to expect)
The rifle leans on control and precision rather than raw time‑to‑kill. You’re rewarded for centering and stringing shots without overflicking.
Rate of fire | ~719–720 RPM |
ADS time | ~250 ms |
Default mag | 30 rounds |
Reload | ~2.4 s |
Muzzle velocity (with 510MM Fluted) | ~975 m/s |
Head/body lethality | Consistent four‑to‑five shot outcomes at close‑mid with disciplined bursts |
Tip: fire in short, rhythmic bursts at 25–50m to maintain precision. The B36A4’s recoil pattern settles quickly when you don’t mag‑dump.
One fast way to kit the B36A4
If you’re planning a campaign run, there is a B36A4 weapon package tied to beating the story on its hardest difficulty. It’s a straightforward way to jumpstart attachments without the usual multiplayer grind.

Pick the build that matches the map and your role, then adjust the optic and magazine to taste. The B36A4 shines when you play to its rhythm: steady recoil, predictable bursts, and enough velocity to make medium‑range fights feel simple.
