Best Attachments for Close to Mid-Range

The VCAR is a close to mid range marksman rifle. It needs a bit of investment for it to shine, but it's worth it for fans of this weapon.

The best scope for the VCAR is the Fusion Holo for close-range fights and the TV 2X for mid-range.

The Close Combat / Drum is the best ammo type for the VCAR. This attachment will turn it into a full auto marksman rifle, which makes it a deadly close combat weapon due to its high firepower stat.

For the best underbarrel, the BCG Light Grip will be a requirement for the gun. This grip will give the best recoil control when it comes to close-range fights.

Lastly, the Tactical Compensator is the best barrel attachment for the VCAR. This weapon has a lot of horizontal deviation to its recoil pattern, so we will want to keep the spread as tight as possible.

Best Specialist for VCAR

Specialist Strengths
Battlefield 2042 - Webster MackayMackay
  • Mackay can use his Grappling Hook specialty to get reach unaccessible vantage points to shoot enemies from. The VCAR can also work as an excellent close-range weapon for more aggressive players.
Battlefield 2042 - Wikus “Casper” Van DaleCasper
  • Casper's Movement Sensor trait will warn you when any enemies are nearby in a 50m radius. This is the perfect range to maximize the VCAR.
