The legendary M98B PSR returns in Battlefield 6 — a fan-favorite from past titles known for its devastating power at long range. But unlocking it isn’t as simple as hitting max rank. Here’s a step-by-step guide to unlock the PSR as fast as possible while keeping your sanity intact.

Want to skip the grind entirely? The BF6 Sniper Farm (Week 2 Unpatched) lets you complete sniper challenges and level weapons in minutes — perfect for speeding through PSR unlocks before it’s patched.

Step 1: Reach Level 23

Before you can even start the assignment, you’ll need to hit Level 23.
The best way? Queue into Breakthrough or Conquest with high-XP weapons like the SGX SMG or M4A1. Play objectives and rack up squad assists to level quickly. Checkout out current SGX Meta Build Guide for Zero Recoil.

Step 2: Get 100 Headshot Kills with DMRs

Once Level 23, your first real challenge begins:

First objectives to clear for the next step
  • 100 headshot kills using any DMR.
  • Headshots only count if they’re kills — no partial credit.
  • Inflict damage over 75m with DMRs for 5,000 damage.

This milestone also unlocks the SVK, which you’ll need for the next objective.

  • Inflict damage over 75m with DMRs for 5,000 damage.
  • Play on maps with open terrain.
  • Aim for upper-chest hits.
  • Pair a high-velocity barrel with a compensator for better recoil control.

Once complete, you’ve cleared Part 1 of the PSR assignment.

Step 3: 150 Headshots Over 200 Meters with Snipers

Here’s where things get spicy — 150 headshots over 200 m.
Sounds easy until you realize half the maps aren’t even 200 m long.

Best Maps for Long-Range Kills

Operation Firestorm 🔥 (Best for PSR Unlocks)

Most Battlefield 6 maps don’t give you the distance you need for 200+ meter headshots. These are the few worth trying — and one that absolutely dominates.

Operation Firestorm is hands-down the best map for long-range sniping in Battlefield 6. Every engagement from spawn to objective easily surpasses the 200-meter mark, making it the ultimate spot for completing your 150-headshot assignment.

Queue into Operation Firestorm Conquest through custom servers and dedicate several hours of gameplay. Rotate between high-ground vantage points, adjust your FOV for maximum zoom, and you’ll be knocking out headshots faster than anywhere else.

New Sobek City

Sobek City’s dense layout makes long shots rare. You’ll get a few extended angles, but it’s not efficient for racking up headshots.

Mirak Valley

Mirak Valley Map

Mirak Valley has some open hills but lacks consistent 200-meter sightlines. Great for practice, not for grinding the PSR challenge.

Recommended Settings

  • Use an 8× or 10× scope.
  • Set your FOV to the lowest value for max zoom clarity.
  • Reach Mastery 20 with your sniper for scope unlocks.

These tweaks can drastically improve precision — especially when combined with the Auto-Zero Scope Trick from our guide,
Battlefield 6 Sniping Trick: Auto-Zero Your Scope for Every Shot.
Auto-zeroing ensures your bullet drop aligns perfectly every time, letting you line up 200 m headshots with confidence.

Step 4: Grind Efficiently

If you’re serious about speed-unlocking the PSR, queue custom Operation Firestorm Conquest servers and commit at least 6 hours.
Play patiently, rotate between vantage points, and use spotting gadgets to mark enemies.

Step 5: Tune Your Sniping Setup

Long-range consistency is all about sensitivity and stability.

This guide covers ideal scope sensitivities, FOV options, and the best loadouts for headshot accuracy.

Quick Tips to Save Time

  • Activate Double XP tokens before long sniping sessions.
  • Aim for stationary targets and defenders on objectives.
  • Use spotting tools to track enemy heads before they move.

Recommended Settings:
Play at 100 FOV only for close-range maps.
Lower to 70–80 FOV on long-range maps for extra zoom.

Final Reward

Once all requirements are complete, the PSR (M98B) unlocks in your Sniper Class.
It’s one of the most satisfying rifles in Battlefield 6 — insane velocity, minimal drop, and massive one-shot potential.
