Battlefield 6 PW7A2 loadout – The fast paced SMG shredding CQB fights

With the close-range intensity of the Battlefield 5 beta, it turns out there’s much more room for close-range weapons. While the SGX wins as the long-range and accurate weapon for an SMG, the PW7A2 is the fast-firing weapon. Its low damage yet high rate of fire gives it a decent time-to-kill thanks to muzzle velocity and rate of fire from its magazines. So, if you want an incredibly fast-paced SMG, this Battlefield 6 PW7A2 loadout is one to watch.

PW7A2 Loadout & Attachments

  • Optic: Any close-range optic
  • Ergonomic: Improved Mag Catch
  • Ammunition: Soft Point
  • Magazine: 30RND Fast Mag
  • Underbarrel: Ribbed Stubby
  • Barrel: 180MM Standard
  • Muzzle: Linear Compensator
  • Right Accessory: 5MW Green

The idea behind this attachment setup is creating a close-range weapon that excels at fast reloads, good hip fire, and quick ADS with control and accuracy when it matters. Due to the abundance of short-range sites and maps in general in the beta, and even in the full release, a close-range, all-around weapon is ideal. The PW7A2 has low damage, but one of the fastest muzzle velocities and fire rates in the game. So, being able to control every shot matters in the game.

In addition, the fast mag and ergonomic attachments ensure your downtime is minimal. Being able to reload almost instantly means you can maintain pressure and move around as needed. This makes it a very strong close-quarters threat for clearing out sites or controlling short-range angles and pushes. Sites include the B site in Cairo, the thin pathways on both Cairo maps in Rush, and the alleyways near the apartments on Iberian Offensive.

In open playlists, any class can run this weapon. For closed playlists, only Engineers can use this weapon. Engineers can utilize it for close-range pushouts or to finish off damaged players after RPG attacks on tanks, eliminating repair attempts, or pushing defensive gadgets on site after RPG damage.
