A concise setup for the M4A1 in Battlefield 6 that focuses on controlling recoil and extending uptime in fights. The M4A1 is familiar from many shooters, and the right attachments make it reliable at close and mid range while keeping shots off the minimap.
Here is the best attachment setup for the M4A1:
-
- Muzzle: Long Suppressor – 25 points
- Barrel: 12.5″ Mid – 10 points
- Underbarrel: Stippled Stubby – 35 points
- Magazine: 36RND Magazine – 15 points
- Ammunition: FMJ – 5 points
- Optic: OSA-7 1.00x – 10 points
The Stippled Stubby significantly reduces the M4A1’s wild recoil. Aim corrections will still be necessary beyond roughly 50 meters, but the grip makes longer bursts more manageable. The Long Suppressor keeps shots hidden from the minimap and helps with recoil control, while the 36RND Magazine provides enough rounds to finish fights without frequent reloads.
Best M4A1 class setup
Here is the best class setup for the M4A1:
- Class: Assault
- Field Spec: Breacher
- Secondary: P18
- Gadget One: M87A1
- Gadget Two: Assault Ladder
- Throwable: Frag
- Melee: Sledgehammer
Using an Assault Ladder with a Sledgehammer opens unconventional approaches to fights and can catch opponents off guard. Carrying a Frag Grenade helps shift engagements, while the M87A1 shotgun is a dependable close-quarters option if a secondary is needed.
