The M433 is one of the first guns you’re likely to be using in Battlefield 6. It’s the first Assault Rifle on the list, and it’s unlocked for all players by default. The M433 is a solid all-rounder that works great as an introduction to ARs.
While Assault Rifles are mainly designed for the Assault class, any player can use them if they’re playing in Open Weapons Playlists. Assault players get certain benefits for sticking with ARs, of course, but you can ignore those if you simply want to use an AR with any other class.
Before we dig into the nitty gritty, it’s worth having an understanding of how loadouts work in Battlefield 6. The game uses a 100-point system where each weapon attachment is weighed differently depending on its effectiveness.
Not every sight or magazine will be worth the same amount, which is going to greatly affect your build. As you may have seen in our Battlefield 6 tips, weapons take a whiiile to level up in this game. You’re going to find that suppressors, and some of the fancier scopes, are towards the back of the line, making you grind for them.
Weapons typically have ten attachment slots, but it’s okay to not use up all points/fill up all slots. Only do so if you think the attachment is worth it, such as when it offers an objective upgrade. We also recommend testing your builds in the Firing Range to see if you’re comfortable with them.
Now, so you can dominate your next match of Conquest, here are our recommendations for the best M433 loadouts in Battlefield 6.

What makes this the best BF6 M433 loadout for early-game MP?
For this build, our goal is to do well in close-range engagements. The M433 is generally accurate, but can sometimes suffer from side-to-side bounce in its recoil. Sight choice is incredibly important for the M433 as a result, and we think the R-MR 1.00X is great because of its clear sight picture and low profile.
As you’re going to find yourself in CQC situations, the 5 MW Laser will help with your hipfire accuracy, even if it’s going to be visible to other players. The standard 14.5” barrel is a nice middle ground for this build that won’t take us over budget, while remaining consistent in most situations.
We use the Flash Hider on most classes because it helps ward off 3D spotting and reduce the range of minimap spotting. The Alloy Vertical grip is great for this build because it cuts down on recoil without any disadvantages.
30RND is the standard magazine, which we’re sticking with. The same for FMJ ammo, as most others are late unlocks. As a bonus, if you have it unlocked, you should also use the Magwell Flare because it lets you reload while aiming down sights.
Best M433 loadout for the mid-game
- Optic: CCO-2.00X (10P)
- Top Accessory: 5 MW Red Laser (10P)
- Barrel: Extended 18.9” Prototype (15P)
- Muzzle: Convertor Linear Comp (10P)
- Underbarrel: Classic Vertical (35P)
- Magazine: 36RND Magazine (15P)
- Ammunition: Standard FMJ (5P)
What makes this the best BF6 M433 loadout for mid-game MP?
This M433 build extends the effective range of the AR to its maximum realistic value (and uses all 100 points). We love the CCO-2.00X sight because its zoom level and picture are perfect, but you could also opt for something like the BF-2M 2.50X, though it’s going to take you a while to unlock that.
The 5 MW Laser stays (though now we’re going with Red) simply because we have the points for it, in case you get cornered and have to fire from the hip. The most important piece of this puzzle, of course, is the 18.9” barrel, which is what enables the desired range effectiveness.
We’re going to try and compensate for that barrel’s downsides through other attachments, starting with the Convertor Linear Comp, which stabilises recoil. The Classic Vertical grip further helps with our recoil control without messing with accuracy too much – or at least more than we can handle through other attachments.
You’ll mostly be posted somewhere taking shots at ranged targets with this build, so we’re going with the extra ammo of the 36RND mag. It’s going to slow down your reload speed, sure, but the six extra rounds are worth it when you’re tap-firing.
Best M433 loadout for the late-game
- Optic: CCO-2.00X (10P)
- Top Accessory: 5 MW Red Laser (10P)
- Barrel: Extended 18.9” Prototype (15P)
- Muzzle: Standard Suppressor (20P)
- Underbarrel: Alloy Vertical (20P)
- Magazine: 30RND Fast Mag (10P)
- Ammunition: Lightweight Polymer Case (10P)
What makes this the best BF6 M433 loadout for late-game MP?
This build is designed for players who have levelled up the M433 considerably, and are looking to explore the rest of the ARs characteristics. The Phantom Edition of Battlefield 6 comes with a pretty decent, pre-made build that you can start with.
If not, you can always replicate it (minus the looks). We’re sticking with the CCO-2.00X sight once again because it has adequate zoom and a small profile. The 5 MW Red Laser is a gimme at this point because of its cost vs effectiveness. We’re keeping the Extended 18.9” Prototype Barrel from the previous build, too, as the M433 shines at range.
Our grip choice this time is the Alloy Vertical which helps tame the recoil without messing with anything else, such as ADS speeds. The 30RND Fast Mag is perfect for this build as it has a faster reload speed and the same ammo count.
This is the only M433 build where we’re going to go with the Lightweight Polymer Case ammo. It does not offer any penetration, but it makes up for it by allowing you to move a little more freely when you ADS.
