Attachments listed for TTK and BTK were tested on a player with no body armor and no additional attachments on the gun.

PKP-BP Time to Kill (TTK)

PKP-BP TTK

View Full PKP-BP TTK Image

The TTK was computed by using the following formula: (60/Rate of Fire)*(BTK-1).

The Standard ammo type exhibits strange properties in that it gives the fastest TTK in both very close (0-10m) and long ranges (40-100m), while the High-Power magazine is the fastest in between. This makes it quite a hassle to swap in between the two magazine types if someone would want to get the most out of the gun.

Best Attachments for Close to Mid-Range

The PKP-BP is already an excellent close to mid-ranged weapon option, so the only real improvement that you could provide the weapon is to replace its sights. The XDR Holo is a good choice to go with, zooming it just enough to allow players the flexibility to target opponents from close to mid-range with clear sights.

Going prone to deploy the weapon's Factory Mounts will help to stabilize the weapon even further, turning a player's position into a veritable fixed position capable of holding down map crossings with ease.

The High Power is the best ammo type for the PKP-BP since it gives the best TTK at mid-range while not falling behind compared to the Standard ammo at close range.

Best Attachments for Long Range

Without sacrificing any of the weapon's stats or firepower, the attachments needed for long-ranged combat are mainly focused on increasing the player's ability to see enemies clearly while also increasing its handling. The Maul Hybrid 1.5-3x is the perfect sights for players that wish to be able to deal damage from a distance while also being capable of switching out to mid-ranged sights for whenever the situation demands for it.

This is due to the sight being a hybrid sight, allowing players to switch between long-ranged and mid-ranged sights on the fly.

Best Specialist for PKP-BP

The PKP-BP is not a strong upgrade over the LCMG. Specialists that can help to expand on its prowess and ability to provide streams of fire against enemies from a fixed position will help to capitalize on its potential.

Specialist Strengths
Battlefield 2042 - Ji-Soo PaikPaik
  • When holding down an area, such as an enclosed and confined objective, a combination of Smoke Grenades and Paik's EMG-X Scanner will allow players to simply spray into a general direction where enemies are coming from. The PKP-BP's large amount of ammunition per reload will ensure a consistent stream of bullets will rain down on an enemy, denying them any progress.
Battlefield 2042 - Pyotr “Boris” GuskovskyBoris
  • In situations where an area needs be locked down or assaulted, deploying the SG-36 Sentry System will add a "second gun" to your arsenal, allowing you provide streams of fire towards enemy positions, holding them down and allowing allies more flexibility to maneuver.
Battlefield 2042 - Kimble “Irish” GravesIrish
  • Irish's Fortification System Specialty will allow you to deploy cover in areas in situations similar to how players would use Paik. The combination of cover and the PKP-BP allows players to more safely shoot at enemies without the difficulty of presenting themselves to danger.
