We already know which modes and maps will accompany the launch of Battlefield 6 , but there’s another equally important aspect: the arsenal. The game launches on October 10, 2025 , and although the official list hasn’t yet been released by EA, dataminers and the community have already managed to anticipate it with considerable accuracy.

Thanks to the work of BF Labs and the analysis of the multiplayer trailer, we know that there will be more than 40 weapons available from day one . But it’s not just about quantity: each weapon has its own personality, and choosing the right one will depend heavily on your play style. In our hands-on preview of the game last Thursday , we were able to try out some weapons, so we’ve put together this short guide to help you see which weapon style best suits your playstyle.
