It's no secret that the M87A1, the only shotgun in the Battlefield 6 open beta, is completely broken, especially with slug rounds that let it cross-map players in one tap. In fact, Battlefield community lead Kevin Johnson has confirmed that this weapon has already been toned down on the latest internal build. Ignoring the elephant in the room, I've found the real best gun so far in BF6: the M4A1.
This is one of three carbines in the Battlefield 6 open beta, and all of them are incredibly strong, giving you the best of both worlds between the range of an assault rifle and the rapid handling of an SMG. To the dismay of many, most of Battlefield 6's beta maps are small or medium. In other words, they're perfect for carbines. Oddly enough, though, the M4A1 is the first, most basic one you have access to, but it has some advantages over the M417 and the AK-205.
