If you’ve ever jumped into a firefight in Battlefield 6 and felt like you were down before you even had a chance to react welcome to the world of lightning-fast TTKs. In this article, we’ll break down the Top 10 Fastest TTK Weapons in Battlefield 6 (up-close scenarios) and what that means for you as a player.
“If my weapon kills you faster than your weapon kills me, I think I’m gonna win.”
That sentence nails it: if you’re shooting second, you’re already behind.
We’ll go from #10 up to the absolute fastest gun, and also pull out some lessons you can apply to your load-outs. Let’s dive.
Light Machine Gun: DRS IR
At number ten is the LMG known as the DRS IR. With a fire rate of ~771 rounds per minute and a four-shot kill up close (under ~20 m), it delivers a kill in roughly 234 milliseconds. What makes it stand out: excellent accuracy and bullet velocity for its class. Trade-offs: It’s an LMG, so while it tears people down fast, close-range, handling and mobility are lower than an SMG or carbine. If you can lock down a corridor or objective with this, you’ll feel the power.
Tie: G3 & M60
Tied at #9 are two very different weapons that share the same close-range kill profile: the G3 and the M60. Both deliver a three-shot kill up close and hit a TTK of about 233 ms.
Bonus: With special ammo (hollow-points), they can dip into two-shot kills (~100 ms) in ideal conditions. These are big-hitting weapons you’ll either dominate or struggle with, depending on your target and range.
Triple-Tie: SGX, GRT BTC & RPK MSX
Moving into #8, three guns share this slot: the SGX, the GRT BTC, and the RPK MSX.
They all kill in four bullets at about 830 RPM up to ~10 m, thus matching the TTK.
However:
- The SGX is a more close-range specialist (very good hip fire).
- The GRT BTC has better damage fall-off, making it slightly more flexible.
- The RPK MSX has a slower fire-rate (but still three-shot kill), yet struggles more at mid-range.
Choose based on whether you expect ultra-close fights (SGX) or a bit of mid-range flexibility (GRT).
Tie: M433 & M123K
At #7, we’ve got the M433 and the M123K. Both hit a TTK of 217 ms up to ~20 m away. The difference: M123K is a heavier-handling version of the M433 (extended mag trade-off). It’s assault-rifle grade performance in a fast-kill package, but you’ll feel the spread at longer ranges, so it shines when you’re comfortable up close to mid-range.
M4A1
Coming in at #6 is the legendary M4A1. It nails a 200 ms TTK. This carbine gives you the performance of a close-range monster, yet remains very viable mid-range thanks to its handling and attachments. If you’re looking for a “go-to” that doesn’t force you into ultra-close fights, this is it. Pro tip: Buff it for handling, aim-down-sights (ADS) speed, and moderate range to maximize its edge.
M240L
Number five is the M240L LMG. It keeps that ~200 ms TTK out to ~220 m (yes, that far) due to its high damage and decent fire-rate (600 RPM). This one’s underrated. If you can handle the slower ADS and heavier weight, you’re getting a “sniper-friendly” LMG that can mow down officers in objective modes. Ideal for holding positions and long sight-lines.
Tie: N VO228-E & M417-A2
At #4 are the assault rifles N VO228‑E and M417‑A2. Both fire at ~653 RPM and achieve a 3-shot kill up to ~10 m (TTK <200 ms). Beyond that, the kill count jumps (4-shot, then 6-shot), which affects TTK. These are skill-guns: you’ll want to aim smart, close the distance, and choose your fights wisely. If you’re confident with recoil and positioning, they reward you.
Tie: KB 9 (Vector) & SG-553-R
Now we’re in the top tier. At #3, we have the SMG KB 9 (Vector) and the carbine/SMG hybrid SG‑553‑R. Both hit a blistering ~167 ms TTK up to ~10 m. Vector has an insane ~1080 RPM fire-rate. SG-553-R gives you a 30-round mag, better damage range, and more versatility. These are the “sweat-guns” of the game. If you use them well, you’ll be winning nearly every close-quarter fight, but if you miss a few shots, you’ll be punished.
TR 7
The silver medal goes to the TR 7. Same ~167 ms TTK as the #3 weapons, but it maintains that TTK out to ~20 m and carries a high-damage profile (M60 damage model). Downside: only 20 rounds in the mag, plus more recoil and handling penalties. If you’re confident, this gun can dominate: out-gunning many assault rifles at 20 m while they would beat you at 10 m.
CW 10
The champion: CW 10. This gun boasts a ~150 ms TTK and, with hollow-point ammo and headshots, can drop someone in ~75 ms. It uses the same base model as SG-553-R (but with higher RPM ~80 more) and is designed for close-to-mid range supremacy. If you master it, you’re basically walking into fights with the fastest kill speed in the game. Just remember: the downside is range/handling trade-offs, so you’ll want to pick your engagements.
What This Means for Your Playstyle
- Positioning matters more than ever. With TTKs this low, you might be dead before you even finish ADS if you’re caught out in the open.
- The first shot advantage is huge. Whoever lands the first shots wins. Prioritize aim, attachments that speed ADS, and reduce spread.
- Class & role implications: Support/LMG can still hold objectives; SMGs dominate close; carbines rule mid-range fights. Use the right tool.
- Range awareness: Many of these fast-TTK weapons only hit the numbers at very close range (5-10m or 10-20m). Beyond that, you’ll suffer damage, fall-off, and slower kills.
- Mag size & ammo matters: Some of the fastest weapons (like the TR 7 or Vector) trade large mags for speed. Reloading at the wrong time loses you fights.
- Attachments & ammo types (like hollow-points) matter: they can push your TTK even lower or extend effective range.
In Battlefield 6, milliseconds matter. If you’re not using one of the fast-kill weapons — or aren’t positioning yourself to win that first exchange you’re at a major disadvantage. The top guns listed above define the meta for a reason.
