The best Battlefield 2042 DM7 loadouts may take on the marksman rifle persona, but that doesn't mean that this beast can't be taken on the go. This is an extremely versatile weapon that can lay as much of a thud at close range as it can at long range. Of course you can't really compete with snipers, but with the right attachment builds, you can purpose build the DM7 for any situation. You may want to start from afar as you come to grips with the rifle, taking the time to familiarise yourself with the recoil and potential fire rates. You can really fire as fast as your trigger finger will go, but you'll suffer from recoil, meaning when at a distance you need to take your time.

As mentioned, the best Battlefield 2042 DM7 loadouts can be incredibly variable, and as such, you'll want the right attachments to switch in and out thanks to 2042's plus system. For starters, a good sight is key, so we'd go for the 8R Holo, the TV 2x or Shan 2.5x and the Fusion Holo for a good mix of ranged scopes. For ammunition, High-Power helps with long distance, Close Combat for when you're in the thick of it, and Armour Piercing for when you get sick of those tanks - which should be all the time. With the BCG Light Grip or the Rattlesnake Light Grip, moving accuracy is boosted, or the ADR Bipod for when you are hunkering down. And lastly for the barrel, the Extended Barrel, Wrapped Suppressor and the Champion Muzzle Brake cover all your playstyles.

To round out the best Battlefield 2042 DM7 loadouts, a FXM-33 AA Missile is a near must. If you are playing further back in the field to pick off enemies, you should have more time to target helicopters, jets, and VTols, without a reduced risk of being targeted yourself. For your throwable you can really mix between the Frag Grenade and the Smoke Grenade, depending on whether you want to bombard enemies from afar or use the smoke to dart away when things get dicey. Lastly, either the MP28 or the M44 will work well as a secondary, with an emphasis on the latter if you are playing at further distances. 

Now you know how to craft the best Battlefield 2042 DM7 loadouts. If you aren't quite taking to the DM7, we've got a best Battlefield 2042 weapons list to comb through to find the right weapon for you.
