Best DXR-1 loadout and attachments in Battlefield 2042

Attachments
Sight BKS 8X
Ammunition High Power
Underbarrel Factory Mount
Barrel Extended Barrel

The DXR-1 Sniper Rifle is a great weapon to utilize and can be made even more powerul – especially when utilizing the following attachments:

  • First off, you’ll want to equip the BKS 8X sight, as this is still one of the fastest scopes when it comes to ADS within Battlefield 2042.
  • To complement the quick ADS speed, make sure to use the High Power ammo, as this will decrease bullet drop and increase chest damage.
  • Because of the other attachments we’re utilizing, you can leave the Underbarrel unchanged with its default Factory Mount.
  • Choose the Extended Barrel, as this will increase the DXR-1’s Velocity, and combined with the High Power ammo, packs a serious killing blow.

The Recon Specialist is for those who prefer to remain in the shadows and scout ahead.
  • Specialist: Wikus ‘Casper’ Van Daele
  • Gadget: OV-P Recon Drone
  • Trait: Movement Sensor

Now you’ve got the perfect DXR-1 ready for battle, your choice of Specialist is just as important. We recommend using Wikus ‘Casper’ Van Daele, who is a Recon Specialist equipped for dealing death from the shadows and hidden vantage points.

His Ghillie Suit may stand out on maps like Breakaway, but as you can unlock more skins for Casper – you’ll have camouflage for every occasion.

Equipped with the OV-P Recon Drone, this is a fantastic gadget to scout out far away gunfights and unsuspecting enemies. This drone can tag rival players, as well as use EMP Darts to neutralize equipment.

If you’re worried about enemies flanking your sniping spot, Casper also has the Movement Sensor trait, which will warn you of nearby foes.
