Best M2010 ESR loadout in Battlefield 6

Everyone needs to start somewhere.

Recon class has always been about standing in the back lines and picking enemies off with a sniper rifle. Battlefield 6 may have a lot of focus on close-quarter combat, but you can still find a good sniping spot. And to make it work, you need the M2010 ESR sniper rifle.

M2010 ESR is the default sniper rifle in Battlefield 6. It kills with two shots to the body and one to the head – a classic weapon type in Battlefield. There’s not much special about this weapon, but due to limited choices, there’s no choice but to make it work.

Here are the best attachments for the M2010 ESR:

AmmunitionFull Metal Jacket
ScopeS-VPS 6.00X
Optic AccessoryAG Coating

26″ Carbon is the barrel of choice for faster aiming speed and muzzle velocity for quick and hard-hitting shots. Much like on assault rifles like the M433, the Compensated Brake reduces recoil. In the underbarrel slot, the QD Grip Pod is the best across the board, as it both allows for a supported shooting stance and improves aiming speed. This comes at a slight cost of aimed accuracy while moving. The default ammunition type and the scope are both already good. Although you could swap the scope for something close range, depending on the mode.

The big question to answer is whether you need the DLC Bolt. By default, to rechamber the sniper while aiming down sights, you need to press the fire button again after shooting or exit ADS. DLC Bolt allows for automatic rechambering after shooting. It’s a quality-of-life feature, but it costs 30 Attachment Points.

Without the DLC Bolt, you can equip the AG Coating to narrow down the scope glint’s visible cone, and a larger, eight-round mag. You could also replace the magazine with a Range Finder, but it may not always be as useful due to map sizes.

Best M2010 ESR gadgets and throwable

M2010 ESR is best on the Recon class because you can hold your breath while aiming down sights. Other classes can’t do that, making sniper rifles less effective. But you can still run it on an Assault, for example, and pair it with an assault rifle to cover more ranges.

Here’s the best Recon class loadout to run with the M2010 ESR:

  • Field Specs: Sniper
  • Primary: M2010 ESR
  • Gadget one: Demolition Charge
  • Gadget one: Deploy Beacon
  • Throwable: Smoke

There aren’t that many options to choose from, with only two gadgets available. The grenade is the only thing you can customize, and smokes are much more useful to escape from the enemy’s sight, unless you’re rushing in.
