Mini Scout is a new addition to the sniper rifles category in Battlefield 6 and is deadly and very effective for players who want sniper accuracy without compromising on mobility. It trades the heavy feel of long rifles like the M2010 ESR for fast handling, quick follow-up shots, and strong bullet velocity. With the right attachments from our best BF6 Mini Scout loadout, this sniper can handle short and mid-range fights while still performing well at distance.

Best BF6 Mini Scout Loadout Setup
- Muzzle: Lightened Suppressor (30 points) – This attachment keeps your shots hidden from the minimap and maintains high bullet velocity and aim stability. It’s the best balance between stealth and performance for this weapon.
- Barrel: 18″ Extended (15 points) – This barrel highly increases bullet speed, which lets you land consistent hits even on moving targets. It also tightens the bullet drop, so long-range shots will be easy to connect.
- Underbarrel: Slim Angled Grip (15 points) – It improves the stability of aim and the aim-down-sight switch that keeps your reticle steady when you snap between enemy targets.
- Magazine: 10RND Magazine (5 points) – The base ten-round mag is best to reload in quick time. Big magazines reduce weapon handling, which is against what makes the Mini Scout a powerful gun.
- Optic Accessory: Anti-Glare Coating (10 points) – It removes lens reflection so you stay concealed when scoped in. Although a small detail, it doesn’t let enemies spot you easily.
- Scope: S-VPS 6.00X (10 points) – We prefer this scope with it and don’t think any other is more reliable than that. It’s a clear, long-range scope that provides excellent target visibility and precision in mid and long-range fights, and also offers great magnification without excessive sway.
This setup keeps the rifle fast, silent, and reliable at all distances. The Mini Scout’s natural bullet velocity already outperforms most rifles in its class, and the 18″ Extended barrel pushes that advantage further. Combined with the Lightened Suppressor, it keeps your shots off the radar with no compromise on range. Furthermore, you can use the Range Finder if you want, but this rifle works great even without it.
How to Unlock the Mini Scout
The Mini Scout unlocks at Tier 21 of the Battle Pass. After unlocking it, level the weapon normally to access attachments. The early levels go quickly if you focus on active objective modes or large-scale maps with continuous engagements.

Our loadout for Mini Scout is strongest on mid-range and open-area maps, where you get cover to move and quickly engage from new angles. It supports both aggressive recon play and standard overwatch roles. The Lightened Suppressor and Anti-Glare Coating won’t reveal your position, while the fast ADS and recoil stability allow you to push closer with good level accuracy.
