Battlefield 6 features a wide variety of weapons across a variety of classes, which include Assault Rifles, SMGs, Sniper Rifles, Shotguns, and LMGs. However, when you first pick up a weapon, it will have no attachments, and even the best one can feel underwhelming.
As you play with these weapons, they level up and you can add attachments, which significantly improve their performance. The good part is that, if you are looking forward to an attachment that improves your weapon massively, you can make the changes during a match. This is probably one of the best quality-of-life changes in Battlefield 6, and it makes loadout management very easy.
How to Change Weapon Attachments in Battlefield 6
You can change weapon attachments in Battlefield 6 by opening the Loadout manager and then selecting the weapon of your choice. However, this option does not appear right away. The first step to this is to open the menu during the match and click on Redeploy. Doing this will kill you and add a death to your KDA, but it’s worth the effort.
Once you die due to the Redeployment, you will then have the option to select a class between Assault, Engineer, Medic, and Recon. Regardless of the class you decide to use, you’ll notice a Customize button on the left side of the screen. You’ll need to press this button, and that will depend on the system you’re using. In the case of PC, it’s X, but it’ll be different for Xbox and PlayStation.
The Customize button will take you directly to the Loadout manager of the game. Here you will get to select the weapon of your choice and press Customize again. Upon doing this, the game will take you to a new menu, where you will notice all the attachments for your weapon, and you can select whatever you want out of that. Once the attachment is changed, the change will be reflected right away, and you can use it in the match you had been playing.
The attachment changing option in Battlefield 6 has a resemblance to how Call of Duty does it. However, instead of a limit of 10 attachments from Call of Duty, there is a 100-point system in Battlefield 6. This means you can use only 100 points’ worth of attachments on the weapon. If an attachment costs 10 points, and you place it on the weapon, you now have 90 more points left. As such, make sure you keep a note of what you’re attaching, so that you don’t run out of points.
How to Change Attachments From the Main Menu in Battlefield 6
You can change attachments from the main menu by selecting Loadout -> Select Class ->Weapons Menu -> Weapon Type. The class you select does not matter, as you can make attachment changes irrespective of what you pick.
Similarly, in the weapons menu, you’ll get to see all the major weapon classes, including Assault Rifles, SMGs, LMGs, Sniper Rifles, Shotguns, and DMRs. Simply pick any weapon you like, and you’ll be able to customize it in the exact same way as you did when changing attachments within games in Battlefield 6.
The advantage of changing attachments while in the menu is that you have a lot of time to think. You will be able to check how each attachment affects the stats, and depending on whether you prefer range, damage, or handling, you can upgrade your weapon. While you can make the changes during a match, it’s recommended you do so while in the menu, as every attachment you use has a significant effect on the performance of a weapon in Battlefield 6.
