Weapon Point system should cover weapons themselves as well as gadgets
Currently 100 points to pick from for each weapon creates many issues such as requiring massive cost on bullets(such as AK-205's Synthetic Tips that costs 30 points). AK-205 has to go down to ironsights to use Synthetic Tips, Suppressor, and 40 round magazine. (which really should be RPK-74's 45 round magazine), that and there is a limit to how much attachment cost can be lowered for balance since the gun's base stats are just not there.
Assault that carries two primary weapons would have them fully attached with the only downside being one less gadget and slightly less ammo(often not an issue for most players who won't be alive long enough to use it all).
Solution: There should be a 100-point system that encompass all weapons and gadgets
For example:
Offensive gadgets(C4, RPG-7, GL) cost 25 each.
Non-offensive gadgets(deployable cover, spawn beacon) cost 10.
Grenades cost 5-10(5 for flash/smoke, 10 for frag).
Primary Weapons average around 50 points fully modded. Primary weapon base point cost could be 15-50 depending on how good weapon is(point cost difference means no need to perfectly balance all weapons against everything else of same class). For example: csgo's tmp -> awp.
Secondary weapons average around 25 points fully modded(less attachment points). Weapon base cost around 10-25. For example: csgo's basic glock -> deagle
Instead of some bonuses to the weapon performance for each class, they just get a discount on their class weapon type + certain attachments(for example: recon gets discount on high magnification optics and small magazines, and support gets discount bipod/gripods and large magazines).
This will allow for standard cases of fully-attached meta assault rifle(average of 50 with assault discount) + offensive gadget (25) + non-offensive gadget(10) + smoke or frag depending on attachments/sidearm.(around 15) The stuff expected of older BF games.
To get the 2 GL combo in bf6 beta, Assault player would have to spend 50 points on the two GL alone, meaning the primary weapon(50) would have to have less attachments and there would be no sidearm/throwable. Which makes sense as the two GL would easily serve as sidearm/throwable.
This way another class that uses sniper rifle or lmg might have to spend 75 points(50 for base weapon, 25 for scope, grip, muzzle), so they may only choose the weapon itself with full attachments + one offensive gadget with no sidearm(25), or fully attached weapon with sidearm(10-15) and non-offensive gadget. (10)
That means Assault with respawn beacon(10), fully attached sniper rifle(75), and sidearm(15) would be the "classic" recon class(with some assault perks such as fast hp regen). I assume respawn beacon will go to assault at launch.
And Recon would still have value in being able to have fully attached sniper rifle(50 with discount), offensive gadget(probably between C4 or Claymores/MON-50, 25), non-offensive gadget or throwable(10), sidearm (15).
Or run with no primary, only RPG-7(25) and Stingers(25), fully attached sidearm(~25+ due to attachments), and grenade(10).
Even better, amount of ammo carried could cost points as well, as attachments (default is one magazine in the gun + 2 magazines for standard assault rifles, +5 to +15 for +2 to +4 magazines).
That would also eat into attachment cost of Assault that would bring two primary weapons.
Similar options should go to gadgets(for example +10 for extra ammo for RPG-7, +20 for extra claymore capacity). Could also use 25point upgrade/sidegrade to RPG-7 ammo to have good splash damage against infantry,
The point cost may be finetuned later for balance adjustment.
This creates a flexible system that would allow players to minmax the classes to their liking while allowing for most of the stuff bf6 beta offers, but with more balanced results.
The downside: players may have to do math.
