Best carbines for Redsec and Battlefield 6

The best Battlefield 6 and Redsec carbines can perform effectively in all sorts of situations as its one of the most versatile weapon categories in the game. Carbines sit between SMGs and assault rifles (arguably the two most effective weapon types in both Battlefield 6 multiplayer and Redsec battle royale) and whichever one you choose can be specialized for close, medium, or even longer ranges with the right attachments. With that in mind, here are the best carbines you should be using in Battlefield 6 and Redsec if you get the chance.

Best Redsec and Battlefield 6 Carbines

The good news is that all the carbines are pretty solid across battle royale and all-out warfare multiplayer – if you've read any of our other best weapon type lists (such as this best Battlefield Redsec assault rifles guide), you'll know we normally split up Redsec and regular Battlefield 6 multiplayer, but the carbines perform capably across both aspects. Here are the carbines that inch out the rest thanks to their best-in-class strengths and overall versatility:

• M4A1: An excellent all-rounder with solid damage and the highest fire rate of all carbines., it sits in S-tier of our Battlefield Redsec weapon tier list and meta. It's also versatile enough that it can be kitted out to suit many different combat situations – focus on mobility and hip-fire accuracy for a snappy, SMG-like carbine or go all-in on recoil and spread reduction with a higher zoom scope for something more like an assault rifle.
• AK-205: The AK-205 might have the lowest per-shot damage of all the carbines but it's by far the most accurate and controllable, which make it easy to use and reasonably effective at medium-long range.
• SOR-300SC: The SOR is another good medium-range carbine but thanks to its high per-shot damage and relatively good accuracy. The M417 A2 and SG 553R are solid alternatives, all dealing the same per-shot damage, if you don't have this Season 1 battle pass weapon available to you.

All of these will serve you well in Conquest, Rush, Breakthrough, and more, with the M4A1 being one of the best Battlefield 6 weapons overall. But I think carbines can feel a bit odd in Redsec because you aren't restricted to only one weapon. Instead, you can carry two specialized primary weapons, letting you fight enemy squads at pretty much any range rather than sticking to one good all-rounder gun like a carbine. Of course, you could just stick to one gun, but you might not be able to help much in certain fights. So, you might also want to look at the best Battlefield Redsec SMGs and the best Battlefield Redsec DMRs for some inspiration.
