The B-36A4—better known by players as the G36C—is quickly becoming the go-to rifle for players who want laser-beam accuracy without sacrificing mobility. It hits hard at long range, stays consistent in close quarters, and rewards precision over spray-and-pray tactics.

After weeks of meta testing, this loadout setup gives the B-36A4 the balance it needs to compete with the top rifles. Whether you’re playing Conquest or locking down objectives in Domination, this build will keep you steady and lethal.

Recommended Attachments (Fully Leveled Build)

Each attachment below is tested for recoil control, ADS speed, and mid-range consistency. Replace any with lower-level options if you haven’t fully unlocked the weapon yet.


Optic — A-P2 1.75X (Level 35)

Optic — A-P2 1.75X (Level 35)

A clean, versatile scope that provides excellent visibility in medium-to-long engagements. The 1.75X zoom hits the sweet spot for precision while keeping target acquisition fast.
Players who prefer tighter maps can swap for the Mini Flex 1X, but for balanced play, the A-P2 1.75X dominates.


Muzzle — Compensated Brake (Level 15)

Muzzle — Compensated Brake (Level 15)

This attachment cuts horizontal recoil down significantly, keeping the B-36A4’s already smooth pattern nearly flat. Combined with the vertical grip, it turns the weapon into a laser beam, ideal for holding long sightlines.


Barrel — 510MM DMR (Level 26)

Barrel — 510MM DMR (Level 26)

The heart of this build. The 510MM DMR barrel massively boosts bullet velocity and improves sustained accuracy during long bursts. This makes it perfect for dueling enemies across open areas.
Players reported that rounds hit faster and more consistently—especially when tap-firing or maintaining pressure on moving targets.


Underbarrel — Classic Vertical Grip (Level 13)

Underbarrel — Classic Vertical Grip (Level 13)

This grip stabilizes vertical kick, giving the B-36A4 unmatched recoil control even when firing full-auto. It synergizes beautifully with the Compensated Brake, resulting in almost zero screen shake at mid-range.


Magazine — 36 RND (Level 18)

Magazine — 36 RND (Level 18)

More bullets, less downtime. The 36-round mag extends your kill potential during aggressive pushes or multi-target fights without noticeably slowing reload speed. Especially useful when flanking or suppressing.


Ammunition — FMJ (Full Metal Jacket)

Ammunition — FMJ (Full Metal Jacket)

FMJ ensures that even cover doesn’t save your enemies. Expect tighter bullet penetration through obstacles, perfect for holding choke points or suppressing enemies behind light cover.


How the B-36A4 Performs In-Game

With this configuration, the B-36A4 excels in hybrid combat roles—capable of clearing rooms while maintaining surgical accuracy at range.

Here’s what stands out:

  • Exceptional long-range accuracy: The 510MM DMR barrel and Compensated Brake combination lets you beam targets even past 60–70 meters.
  • Consistent time-to-kill: The rifle maintains solid DPS without excessive recoil spikes.
  • Easy recoil pattern: Beginners can pick this up and instantly feel the difference in control.
  • Flanking potential: Add a suppressor variant if you prefer stealth routes in large maps.
  • Competitive meta pick: In the current Week 2 meta, the B-36A4 rivals the M5A3 and SCAR for top-tier AR dominance.

Recommended Playstyle

  • Range: Medium-to-long engagements.
  • Role: Frontline or anchor position.
  • Best Game Modes: Conquest, Breakthrough, Hazard Zone.
  • Pair With: High-mobility secondary (like the X9 SMG) and an EMP grenade for breaking vehicles or cover.

Pro Tip

Try using controlled 4–6 round bursts at longer ranges. The B-36A4’s recoil is minimal, and burst-firing will land near-perfect groupings on distant targets—especially if you crouch or go prone.


Why It’s Rising in the Meta

After the Week 2 balance patch, many fast-firing rifles saw a reduction in bullet velocity and recoil smoothing. The B-36A4, however, remained untouched—making it one of the few ARs that feel “buffed by comparison.”
Its all-round reliability and consistency mean it’s quietly becoming one of the most underrated meta rifles in Battlefield 6.
