Battlefield 6 is the craze right now, dropping to a wildly successful launch, with players all around the world booting up the game for some epic action. From large-scale battles on modes like Conquest and Escalation to quick and more intense battles in the Close-Quarters Battle or CQB: Attrition playlists, there is no shortage of unique experiences to try out.

As players jump in, finding the right weapon for the job is definitely the focus. While many may be going for the first weapons they have available, like the M433 or even the M4A1, one Submachine Gun seems to be dominating the close-quarters competition. For those running the PW5A3, here is the best loadout to use.

This first build for the PW5A3 is sure to tide players over until they level up the weapon a little further. All the attachments in the build below can be unlocked through Mastery levels 1 to 8, making it an excellent choice for beginners With this PW5A3 build, players are granted much more control over their recoil, improved hip-fire accuracy, and a faster reload speed to make those CQB fights that much easier to deal with.

For more experienced players who have pushed through their PW5A3 Mastery well into the high ranks, this build is for you. The attachments in this build cap out at Mastery 28, so you will have to grind a little more to get them all equipped for your gun. However, the grind is well worth it.

This build aims to boost the PW5A3’s damage range potential, improve its hip-fire accuracy, and provide a larger magazine size paired with a faster reload speed. It's definitely a solid build to use for clearing the opposition up close, so be sure to run it when you need a steady close-quarters weapon.

Unsure of which Class to use with the PW5A3? Both the Recon and Engineer Classes are good matches due to the equipment they provide. For those on Closed-Weapon Playlists, however, you may have to stick with the Engineer Class.
