Battlefield 2042 is no longer a live-service game as the developers have officially announced that Season 7 is the final update. While you may see some maintenance and game mode rotation updates, don’t expect a major content drop. With no weapon reshuffle expected, it’s safe to say that this is the definitive Battlefield 2042 weapon tier list.
Top 3 Weapons for Each Category in Battlefield 2042
I've divided the weapons into five different tiers: S, A, B, C, and D, from best to worst. Each tier contains weapons from different categories that I think belong in that class based on the following description.
Even without attachments equipped, you can dominate your opponents with ease because these weapons have a fast TTK (time-to-kill) and an easily controllable recoil plot, making them the best of the best. If you were expecting one of your favorite weapons and you can’t find it, you’ll probably find it in the A-tier list. Pick a weapon from the table above and you’re all set to dominate lobbies.
Most Assault Rifles and Submachine Guns (SMGs) fall into these two tiers, as they are versatile weapon classes in Battlefield 2042. These weapons are fully automatic, fun to use, and easy to master for most players. Additionally, I've added some great Shotguns (Tactical), DMRs (Marksman), and Sniper Rifles that are near-equal to the S-tiers.
