Though classified as an assault rifle, the Battlefield 6 Boosting SOR-556 MK2 has an unusual trait: it can double as a DMR-style long-range rifle when built and fired correctly. This flexibility has made it especially appealing to players who prefer controlling the battlefield from a distance while maintaining the mobility of an assault class.

The first key to transforming the MK2 into a long-range beast is understanding its tap-fire potential. Unlike other ARs that bloom heavily when tapped quickly, the MK2 maintains extremely tight spread even during rapid semi-auto firing. This means you can land consecutive long-range shots faster than traditional DMRs—without suffering their slow handling.

To optimize this, choose a long-range optic such as a 3x combat sight or a hybrid 2–3.5x. These optics allow you to see targets more clearly across open environments without obscuring your view during close-range emergencies.

Next comes recoil tuning. For DMR-style play, focus on attachments that enhance bullet velocity and stabilize vertical recoil. High-velocity ammo becomes mandatory here, as it dramatically improves hit registration across distance. Pair this with a vertical-control muzzle or a stabilizing barrel attachment.

Positioning is crucial. When using the MK2 as a long-range rifle, avoid running with the front line. Instead, play slightly behind your squad, perch on rooftops, hilltops, or cliffs, and use the weapon’s reach to soften enemies before they reach your teammates. The MK2’s consistent hit markers and flinch pressure make it perfect for area denial.

Firing discipline is the heart of this playstyle. Always tap-fire. Never full-auto at distance. Keep your crosshair at head level and fire in sync with your recoil reset. The MK2 is especially lethal when you follow a steady rhythm—almost like firing a metronome.

With practice, you’ll find that you can compete with true DMR users while keeping AR-level mobility and reaction speed.

This hybrid playstyle makes the SOR-556 MK2 one of the most unique and rewarding rifles in Battlefield 6 service: a long-range powerhouse in disguise.
