The Bipod is a highly specialized and effective weapon attachment in Battlefield 6, designed to improve the player's weapon stability significantly. This underbarrel accessory gives certain classes a major advantage, allowing Light Machine Guns to deliver sustained, accurate fire, and helping Recon snipers by reducing scope sway.
Using the bipod unlocks high precision and greatly reduces recoil for engagements at long range. However, this boost in performance requires that players accept certain limitations regarding movement and positioning. The guide below offers information on how to use the accessory and more on what it does in Battlefield 6.

How to Deploy Bipod in Battlefield 6
To deploy a bipod, players will first have to equip it on their weapon. Not every weapon type can be equipped with a bipod, and only Snipers and LMGs have the bipod already unlocked at the start of the game. For DMRs and Assault Rifles, players will have to increase mastery of those weapons. Select the weapon that you want to equip the bipod on and customize it. The accessory is in the Underbarrel category, and with it equipped, you are ready to take it into combat.
Once a Multiplayer map loads in and the player spawns, they can immediately lie down and press the designated button on their controller or keyboard. On the left side of the screen will be a pop-up saying that you need to press R3 on the controller or V on the keyboard. This will set up the bipod, and if you try to stop the ADS and look around, you will be locked into a position until you decide to get up.
What Does the Bipod Do in Battlefield 6?
A bipod is an accessory that allows players to place their weapon on the ground or a cover to reduce recoil. This heavily increases accuracy because if the player is using a sniper while crouched, there will be weapon sway that must be taken into account before taking the shot. The bipod removes that and makes holding down sights much easier.
Players who are fond of playing the Support class can use the bipod on the LMG and take out multiple enemies with ease. The LMG already has a high magazine size, so you can basically treat your weapon as a mounted turret. However, there are drawbacks to using the bipod, such as standing or lying down in a stationary position. This makes you an easy target for snipers if you are out in the open. The bipod also causes a limited field of fire, which means that the player can aim their weapon in a horizontal arc and cannot look behind them unless they get up.
Taking all this into mind, the bipod is a great situational accessory to have, which can change the outcome of some battles, but is also not a necessity for a loadout.
