Battlefield 6 has a ton of weapons to pick from, and choosing the right setup can make or break your firefights. If you’re looking to dive into the action up close, the SGX SMG is a solid choice. Here’s how to make it shine.
The Best SGX SMG Setup for Battlefield 6
The SGX is a beast for close-quarters fighting. This setup makes it a headshot machine, dropping enemies in just three shots within about 15 meters. It still packs a punch at longer ranges if you tap the trigger carefully, letting you chip in during midrange battles to help your squad. It’s not the main goal, but it’s nice to not be totally out of the game at a distance just because you’re built for close-up action.
I’ve had a blast using this gun across all classes. It’s a lifesaver for Support players stuck in the chaos of frontline revives and works great for Recon when sneaking around to place beacons or flank enemies. It’s no surprise it’s the go-to weapon for the Engineer class—it lets you dominate anyone trying to mess with you while you’re fixing tanks.
Best SGX Attachments
Here’s the attachment setup I think works best for the SGX, focusing on making it a close-range monster. It uses 95 out of 100 attachment points. I stick with Iron Sights since they’re clean and clear, and I’m usually firing from the hip anyway. The ammo choice is what really boosts this gun, giving a x1.7 headshot multiplier for that deadly three-shot kill.
The rest of the attachments tighten up hipfire and control. For the magazine, I went with more rounds to keep fighting longer before reloading, but you can swap it for a faster reload (closer to two seconds) if you’re okay with losing six bullets.
