A massive datamine from what appears to be an internal playtest build of Battlefield 6 has surfaced online, offering the most comprehensive look yet at the game’s weaponry. First uncovered by prominent dataminer Temporyal, the leak includes a staggering array of firearms spanning classic military staples, modern tactical options, and surprisingly—futuristic sci-fi weaponry.
The leaked list, which has been verified by multiple sources within the modding and datamining community, suggests Battlefield 6 is aiming for a hybrid combat experience that fuses grounded realism with speculative near-future tech. This supports previous rumors that the game is set in a “2030s-inspired conflict” and may be a spiritual successor to Battlefield 4 and 2042.

A Shift Toward Experimental Combat?
While many of the weapons listed above would feel right at home in a modern-day military shooter, the presence of weapons like a Railgun and Plasma Rifle is raising eyebrows. These suggest DICE is taking some creative liberties to move beyond strict realism—possibly blending gameplay elements from Battlefield 2042 with the grounded tone of earlier entries like BF3 and BF4.
The decision may reflect DICE’s attempt to innovate without alienating long-time fans of the franchise. Battlefield 2042 was heavily criticized at launch for its lack of traditional features and an overreliance on sci-fi tech. Battlefield 6, by contrast, seems to be rebalancing that formula.
What This Means for Gameplay
The inclusion of both NATO and Eastern Bloc firearms (like the AK205 and QBZ-192) suggests a faction-based system is returning. The variety of SMGs and LMGs also hints at deeper class customization, while the presence of sniper rifles like the MRAD and marksman rifles like the M39 EMR suggests that long-range playstyles will be well-supported.
It’s also worth noting the reappearance of iconic weapons like the MP5, SCAR-L, and M1014—all fan favorites from previous Battlefield games. Their return may be part of a broader effort by DICE to win back disillusioned players with familiar tools of destruction.
Take It With a Grain of Salt
As always, it’s important to remember that this information comes from a datamined build and has not been officially confirmed by EA or DICE. Weapon names, models, or even categories could change before the game’s launch. It’s also unclear if all the weapons listed will be available at launch or added post-release through seasonal updates.
Still, the scale and depth of this leak make it one of the most significant pre-release discoveries about Battlefield 6 to date.
When Can We Expect an Official Reveal?
Rumours point to an official reveal of Battlefield 6 at EA Play in June 2025, with insiders claiming the game is targeting a fall 2025 release window. Whether this leaked weapon list makes it into the final version remains to be seen—but it certainly sets the stage for what could be a massive return to form for the franchise.
