To successfully use the M2010 ESR in Battlefield 6 to your advantage, you will need to be patient, accurate, and smart with your positioning. This guide will break down optimum attachments and set-up slots to help you get long-range shots consistently, reduce weapon sway, and engage with targets quickly. Whether you are sniping from the nest or have mobility on the map, these tactics and suggested loadouts are about to make your rifle a high-damage, and a reliable kind of weapon.
Key Focus Areas
When using the M2010 ESR, focus on three key things: keep your shots firm by reducing sway, increase speed to bullets to perform well at long ranges, and follow up quickly with quick rechambering to finish tagged targets.
It differs from other weapons where recoil control is not the main concern. Instead, you will require attachments that are stability- and speed-enhancing so that each long-range shot is justifiable.
Recommended Loadout
| Slot | Attachment | Points |
| Barrel | 26” Carbon | 15 |
| Muzzle | Compensated Brake | 20 |
| Underbarrel | Bipod | 10 |
| Ergonomics | DLC Bolt | 30 |
| Ammo | Long-Range | 10 |
| Magazine | 5 RND | 5 |
| Scope | SSDS 6.00X | 10 |
Why This Setup Works
The Compensated Brake is more effective than the Single Port Brake in keeping the rifle steady and is worth the points, while the 26″ Carbon Barrel first available at Mastery 16 gives a great boost to the bullet speed for long-range shots which are more effective. The Bipod does a great job of rifle stabilization when you’re prone and it even permits scoped reloads, although aiming vertically becomes limited.
A 5 RND Magazine is more than enough for most encounters, making the extra three rounds less desirable. Long-Range Ammo increases accuracy by cutting down bullet drag, and the DLC Bolt, which you can get at Mastery 13, allows rechambering while scoped, which is perfect for finishing off tagged enemies. The SSDS 6.00X Scope is a matter of personal choice to a large extent, but any 6X scope will do just fine.
Tips
- Pick elevated positions for your sniper nest.
- Move after 1-2 kills to avoid revenge seekers.
- Use Recon’s Claymore for added security if you plan to hold your spot for a while.
With this setup, the M2010 ESR isn’t just a starting sniper rifle, it’s a precision tool that rewards patience, positioning, and smart play. Focus on hitting your targets, controlling your environment, and following up efficiently, and you’ll make your presence felt from afar.
