The NVO-228E is one of the most stable assault rifles in Battlefield 6. It's designed for medium-range engagements, where players can leverage the rifle's steady fire rate and relatively low recoil. This rifle is somewhere in between the SOR-556 and the AK4D, and if you're a fan of either of these weapons, the NVO-228E could be a nice alternative.

Considering the average engagement distances across the game's maps, players will want a primary weapon that can handle threats near and far, and that's what makes the NVO-228E an appealing choice. The following is a build guide for Battlefield 6 meant to help players with low and high-level versions of this weapon.

The NVO-228E (otherwise known as the Galil ACE) fills a similar role to the B36A4 — it is an adaptable rifle that's good for close-medium-ranged combat. While the game says that the gun deals 33 damage, this value is actually 33.4, which means you can take a player out using the NVO-228E with only three shots to the body. However, you'll experience damage drop off at around the 5-meter mark, so don't expect this rifle to shred your enemies all the time.

One of the greatest strengths of the NVO-228E is its recoil. Despite packing such a strong punch, it doesn't shake around as violently as something like the M433 or the B36A4. You can comfortably shoot long bursts with this rifle and still keep your reticle on-target. Nevertheless, you'll still need to worry about accuracy bloom, so don't hold that trigger down for too long when firing.

Admittedly, you don't need much to make the NVO-228E work. Like the Kord 6P67 in BF6, this gun's base performance without attachments is quite good, and if you feel like it's not enough, then the attachment setups above should do wonders for you.

The Compensated Brake does an excellent job at keeping your barrel pointed at the enemy. With it, you'll be able to fire even longer bursts without your reticle going all over the place. Pair this with the Canted Stubby Grip to further reduce your recoil significantly while also improving ADS speed. The grip will reduce your ADS accuracy while moving, though, so keep that in mind.

If you just got your NVO-228E, then we suggest using attachments that provide no drawbacks, such as the Alloy Vertical Grip and the Flash Hider. If you think the gun's recoil is too shaky, replace the Flash Hider with the Single-Port Brake.
