Battlefield 6 promises to be a true return to form for the beloved franchise, with the game bringing back many of the series’ signature features. This includes its Class system, which helped distinguish Battlefield from the more arcade-y and flexible model of Call of Duty. The Class system restricts players to specific roles, arms them with varied gear, and allows them to specialize in different departments. The mechanic helps keep the gameplay experience fresh and can lead to some dynamic combat encounters. With its return confirmed, we’ve put together a guide breaking down all Battlefield 6 Classes.
How Many Classes Does Battlefield 6 Have?
Just like prior games, Battlefield 6 will feature four Classes. These are:
- Assault
- Recon
- Engineer
- Support
We got a look at each Class in action during the multiplayer reveal event, including glimpses at their gadgets, special abilities, specializations, and more.
Battlefield 6 Classes Explained
Assault
The Assault Class stands at the frontline and is responsible for pushing the team forward. They carve through enemy defenses and bash through obstacles, all while showing off their proficiency with Assault Rifles. Here’s an overview of their kit:
- Adrenaline Injector (Signature Gadget): Provides blast and suppression resistances which last until you get damaged.
- Assault Rifles (Weapon Proficiency): Faster weapon draw and switch times.
- Soft Landing (Signature Trait): Reduced fall damage and no movement speed penalty after falling.
Recon
Recons take advantage of long-range weaponry and situational awareness to spot enemy movement from afar and clear the path for frontline soldiers. Their Sniper training marks enemies seen through the scope more quickly and for longer, while sniper shots stop enemy healing. Meanwhile, headshots drop enemies with a single round, without the possibility of being revived by a teammate. Their kit consists of:
- Motion Sensor (Signature Gadget): This device detects and displays the position of nearby moving enemies, vehicles, and gadgets on team members’ mini-maps.
- Snipers (Weapon Proficiency): Stabilize aim by holding breath and rechamber quicker between shots.
- Auto-Spot (Signature Trait): Looking at enemies while in ADS makes them spotted.
Engineer
Engineers are the deterrent for any and all vehicles that populate the battlefield. From tanks and trucks to jet planes and everything in between, Engineers are armed with the firepower to cripple enemy infantry. They also possess the ability to repair friendly vehicles and get them back in the fight. Here’s what their kit consists of:
- Repair Tool (Signature Gadget): A blow torch to repair friendly vehicles and equipment. It can also damage enemy assets.
- SMG (Weapon Profiency): Improved hip-fire control when using this weapon class.
- Flak Jacket (Signature Trait): Decrease damage taken from explosives.
Support
The resident medics of the Battlefield franchise, the Support Class, have been upped from glorified nurses to LMG-wielding combatants in BF6. When they aren’t reviving teammates, Support characters can lay down cover fire, set up temporary barriers to protect their comrades, and drop ammo for their squads. Here’s a rundown of their kit:
- Supply Bag (Signature Gadget): A deployable bag that resupplies all nearby infantry with ammo for gadgets and weapons, and helps them regenerate health more efficiently.
- MG (Weapon Profiency): No sprint speed penalty while using LMGs.
- Quick Revive (Signature Trait): Faster drag and stationary revives as compared to other Classes.
And that wraps up our guide explaining every Battlefield 6 Class. Each Class is confirmed to have different specialization paths to help flesh out their playstyles. We’ll be sure to update this article with information on these paths once it’s available. Until then, be sure to let us know about your favorite Class in the comments.
