By Battlefield 6 presents numerous weapons and class items that you can access by fulfilling various tasks in the “Assignment” section of the primary menu. While some of these tasks are quite straightforward and simply necessitate you to achieve kills or points with what may be the finest firearms in BF6, other tasks can be exceptionally challenging and perplexing. A task that falls into the latter category is located in the “Bullet Storm” section of the Weapon tab, and this necessitates you to “suppress adversaries with LMGs” in Battlefield 6.
This task offers minimal guidance, which can leave you bewildered regarding how to fulfill it. Thankfully, our guide below has got you covered.
What is suppression in Battlefield 6?
To begin with, the term “suppress” may confuse you when attempting to accomplish this task. It’s a concept that isn’t clarified anywhere in Battlefield 6, and only series veterans will probably understand its meaning.
If you’ve never encountered “suppression” before, it is a term that denotes bullets being discharged in close proximity to you. When this occurs, you won’t sustain any injury, but being suppressed entirely halts your health regeneration in Battlefield 6. You won’t continue to regain HP until you’ve ceased being suppressed.
You can identify that you’re being suppressed if you glance just to the left of the center of your display and witness small “woosh” icons appearing. This signifies that an enemy is firing rounds closely enough for you to be suppressed. Alternately, you’ll realize you’re suppressing an enemy when you observe the phrase “Enemy Suppression” appear on your screen after discharging bullets.
Suppression is an excellent asset in Battlefield 6 that can be employed to great effect if utilized properly. However, attempting to complete a task solely based on suppressing foes is another matter.
How to suppress enemies in Battlefield 6
Now we reach the challenging aspect of suppression, which is trying to accomplish it 300 times with an LMG, as per the task in the screenshot above. To suppress an adversary 300 times with LMGs, you must utilize any light machine gun in Battlefield 6 and strive to miss enemies while shooting at them.
It seems counterproductive, but missing shots is the only path to successfully completing this task. The most crucial element regarding suppression is that an enemy is deemed suppressed if you fire at them within five meters in any direction.
Of course, if you strike an enemy with a bullet, that won’t count as a suppressed shot, since you need to miss them for it to count. However, any shot within five meters to the left, right, or above an adversary will qualify as suppressing them. You don’t even need to have a visual on the enemies you’re firing at; even discharging rounds at cover near enemies will count as a suppression shot as long as the bullet passes them within five meters.
The most effective way to fulfill the “Bullet Storm” task in Battlefield 6 is to jump into the Breakthrough mode. Ideally, you prefer to be on the defensive side, as this guarantees you won’t need to move excessively.
Once you’re established on defense in Breakthrough, choose a location where you can observe substantial enemy movement. It’s also advisable to equip a large magazine on your chosen LMG, a moderately-zoomed scope, and perhaps the FMJ ammo so you can shoot through any surfaces enemies are behind. From here, simply fire around any adversaries you see, doing your utmost to avoid hitting them. You might also discover some of the top BF6 Portal codes for game modes that facilitate suppressing enemies.
With sufficient time and dedication, you should gradually observe your task progress from zero to 300 suppressed shots. Completing this task, alongside inflicting hip-fire damage to foes with LMGs, will reward you the KTS100 MK8 LMG, a commendable choice in Battlefield 6. However, it doesn’t surpass one other LMG, which we consider to be among the finest firearms in BF6.
