Battlefield 6 is the newest chapter in EA’s series, and folks have big expectations. Battlefield 2042 didn’t quite hit the mark like classics such as BF3 or BF4, but early buzz on X and Reddit suggests this one’s getting a warmer welcome.

The beta has a smaller weapon lineup, but EA says there’ll be over 40 guns to unlock when the full game drops in October. For now, here’s the rundown on the weapons in the Battlefield 6 beta and how to snag them.
