Suppression in Battlefield 6 is credited when your LMG rounds narrowly miss an enemy, and the on‑screen “Enemy Suppression” prompt appears. You don’t need to land a hit; you need repeated near‑misses that pass close enough to flag that target as suppressed.

Once you see the prompt for a specific enemy, switch to another target. The challenge tracks unique enemies suppressed, not a running suppression score on the same player.

Bullet Storm 1 challenge requirements (what counts)

Bullet Storm 1 advances when you:

  • Suppress 300 enemies with LMGs (one count per unique enemy you suppress).
  • Deal 10,000 hip‑fire damage with LMGs (tracked separately from suppression).

Completing Bullet Storm 1 grants access to the KTS100 Mk8 and opens the door to the next assignment in the chain.

Positioning and firing technique (repeatable method)

Make suppression predictable by creating space and working from stable sightlines:

  • Set up at medium range (roughly a building’s width or more). Distance gives you time to walk rounds around targets without immediate trades.
  • Go prone on a roofline or behind cover and stabilize with a bipod where available.
  • Paint near common cover edges: doorways, windows, head‑glitch railings, and corner peeks. Aim slightly off the player model and trace the edge with short bursts.
  • Use controlled bursts rather than holding the trigger down. You want consistent passes near the target, not wild spray that lifts off the sightline.
  • Watch for the “Enemy Suppression” prompt. When it flashes, stop wasting rounds on that target and pivot to the next body on screen.

Loadouts and settings for reliable suppression

Build for stability and sight picture first, then sustained fire. You’re optimizing to place near‑misses on demand, not to delete targets immediately.

Slot Priority for suppression Why it helps
Optic 3x medium‑range scope Gives enough precision to walk shots around heads and cover edges.
Underbarrel Bipod or stable grip Locks down recoil when prone or mounted; keeps near‑miss lines tight.
Barrel/Muzzle Recoil control over raw velocity Smoother tracking along doorframes and windows for repeatable prompts.
Magazine Default 100‑round or extended Fewer reloads while you rotate suppression across multiple enemies.

If you’re also chasing the hip‑fire portion, keep a second LMG setup tuned for close quarters (tight hip‑fire spread, mobility‑friendly attachments) and swap between builds depending on the map segment you’re playing.

Map picks and angles that make it easy

High, long sightlines make suppression effortless. Rooftops and long lanes on New Sobek City and Mirak Valley are especially forgiving. From these positions you can track clusters as they cross open space, tap bursts around them to trigger the prompt, then immediately move your aim to the next silhouette.

Faster completion in Portal servers

Dedicated XP‑farm Portal servers that spawn bots or funnel players through predictable choke points speed this grind considerably. The flow is straightforward: hold a stable angle, sweep short bursts around each target until the prompt appears, then cycle to the next. You’ll register far more unique suppressions per magazine than in chaotic mid‑range duels.

What suppression actually does in Battlefield 6

Suppression in this game is subtle by design. The system registers when rounds pass close to a player and can impose background penalties like delaying healing and limiting spawn‑on access while the effect is active. There’s no dramatic blur or heavy visual shake like older titles, so the main feedback you’ll notice is the “Enemy Suppression” message and assist ticks. For this assignment, treat the prompt as the only thing that matters and keep your cadence focused on rotating through new targets.

Quick checklist to finish 300 suppressions

Do this Outcome
Hold medium‑range sightlines with a 3x optic Lets you place deliberate near‑misses safely.
Stabilize prone with a bipod Reduces recoil, keeps bursts skimming cover edges.
Burst around each enemy until the prompt appears Registers one suppression per unique target.
Immediately switch targets after the prompt Maximizes unique suppressions per magazine.
Use Portal servers with bots or chokepoints Accelerates both suppression and hip‑fire damage.

If you’re planning beyond Bullet Storm 1, expect the follow‑up to lean on damage with the KTS100 Mk8 and multi‑kill streaks in busier objective modes. For now, keep your routine simple: stable angle, short bursts near bodies, watch the prompt, rotate. Repeat that rhythm and the 300 comes quickly.
