The PW7A2 is Battlefield 6’s MP7‑style submachine gun built for speed. It fires at 947 rounds per minute with very low recoil, which lets you delete targets quickly without fighting the sights. The right attachments push that advantage: fast aim‑down‑sights, excellent hip‑fire, and just enough stability to stretch into short‑mid range when you need it.

PW7A2 close‑range flanker (point‑efficient baseline)

This build leans into the gun’s native control and handling, spending points where they matter most for aggressive play.

Slot Attachment (Cost) Focus
Muzzle Single‑Port Brake (5) Small recoil cut without heavy point spend.
Barrel 180mm Standard (10) Keep snappy ADS; no need for heavier prototypes here.
Underbarrel Slim Angled (20) Improves ADS speed and adds a light recoil benefit; ideal for fast entries.
Magazine 30RND Magazine (5) Preserves mobility and budget; reload often, win more gunfights.
Ammunition Hollow Point (20) Slight headshot damage increase that can shave a bullet off the kill.
Optic Mini Flex 1.00x (10) Clean sight picture for chaotic close fights (iron sights are serviceable).
Top accessory 120MW Blue (30) Large hip‑fire accuracy boost and a minor bonus to ADS while moving—perfect for run‑and‑gun.

Notes:

  • Use Alloy Vertical until you unlock Slim Angled at Mastery 17.
  • Skipping the heavy 180mm prototype barrel (Mastery 14) preserves faster ADS.
  • If you want more rounds, free points by dropping the muzzle or optic, or by swapping 120MW Blue to a cheaper laser.

PW7A2 steady short‑mid build (recoil focus)

Pulls horizontal wiggle out of the pattern and adds a touch of reach without giving up close‑range speed.

Slot Attachment (Cost) Focus
Muzzle Convertor (10) Reduces horizontal recoil to keep the gun tracking straight.
Barrel Basic (10) Balanced handling—no penalties you don’t need.
Underbarrel Alloy Vertical (20) Simple, effective recoil tightening for controlled bursts.
Optic OSA‑7 1.00x (10) Clean, low‑magnification framing for heads‑up fights.
Ammunition Synthetic (30) Increased headshot damage (1.75x); rewards precision in tighter windows.
Magazine 30RND Fast Mag (10) Quicker reloads keep you in the push on objective fights.

PW7A2 hyper‑aggressive sprint/hip‑fire build

Built for players who live in the objective, pre‑aim corners, and start shooting the instant they break sprint.

Slot Attachment (Cost) Focus
Optic Sight of preference (10) Stay at 1x–1.25x; anything higher pushes you into hip‑fire more often.
Top accessory 5MW Red (10) Improves hip‑fire without broadcasting a visible beam.
Muzzle Convertor (10) Keeps recoil largely vertical for easier correction.
Underbarrel Handstop (10) Allows firing while sprinting—often wins surprise mirrors by a split second.
Magazine 30 Fast (10) Slight reload speed bump that pays off in multi‑kill chains.
Ammunition Synthetic (30) Headshot multiplier to 1.75x, synergizes with the PW7A2’s stability.
Accessory (alt) Flashlight (10) Minor hip‑fire bonus and situational blinding; optional if you have points.

When to pick bigger magazines, lasers, and optics

Extended mags are tempting at this fire rate, but they are expensive in point budget and can trim mobility. If you constantly die mid‑reload, drop the muzzle or choose a cheaper laser to fund a 40‑round option—otherwise, the standard 30 keeps you quicker on your feet.

Lasers are your most efficient way to supercharge hip‑fire. A 120MW Blue delivers the largest accuracy bump (with a small ADS‑while‑moving bonus), while lower‑power options save points if you’re stretching to a larger mag. If you prefer stealth and tighter rooms, the 5MW Red improves hip‑fire without exposing a visible beam.

Optics are personal. The PW7A2’s irons are usable, but a clean 1.00x or a light 1.25x keeps your view uncluttered in frantic pushes.

Class pairing and role

Engineer is the default home for this SMG: the class bonus improves hip‑fire control, which directly complements all three builds. On maps and modes without vehicles, Assault is a strong alternative thanks to the assault sling—carry a carbine or DMR for reach, while the PW7A2 handles everything inside a point.

Bottom line: keep the gun light, bias your points toward hip‑fire and simple recoil tools, and let the 947RPM work for you. Whether you favor a budget flanker, a steadier short‑mid setup, or an all‑in sprint build, the PW7A2 thrives when you stay moving and keep fights inside its comfort zone.
