The Battlefield 6 class system is based on a familiar structure, but with an extra layer of depth that sets it apart from previous games. Instead of just choosing a class, you now have a character with specific bonuses and a characteristic field specialty. This means that even if you’re playing the same class as a squadmate, your roles and contributions on the battlefield can be drastically different. This variety of Battlefield 6 classes promises a more dynamic and strategic gameplay experience.
The Battlefield 6 Classes and Their Specialties
Assault
The Battlefield 6 Assault class is for the lethal frontline personnel who break through defenses to clear the way for the rest of the team. Enhanced mobility, combined with the option to play with an extra primary weapon, makes you a formidable force that can push through enemy lines.
Your signature weapon is the Assault Rifle, which allows for faster scavenging and swapping of these weapons. You also have improved sprint recovery. Your characteristic attribute is Soft Landing, which reduces fall damage and the movement speed penalty when falling from high ground.
Field Specialty: Frontline
Lead the charge and shatter enemy defenses. Gain a medium-range advantage with your assault rifles. Get closer with your unlocked extra primary weapon, like a shotgun. Stun a group of enemies with your grenade launcher.
- Lvl 0 – Firing Mobility: Nullifies the movement speed penalty when firing while moving.
- Lvl 1 – Extra Adrenaline: Gain an additional charge for the Adrenaline Injector.
- Lvl 2 – Quick Recovery: Enhanced passive health regeneration stats (+50% rate, -50% delay).
- Lvl 3 – Combat Stimulant: Press 6 to highlight hostile sounds and reveal nearby enemies (5-second duration, extending with eliminations).
Exclusive Battlefield 6 Assault Class Gadgets
- Extra Primary Weapon: Allows the player to carry an extra primary weapon, with options limited to carbines, DMRs, and shotguns.
- Grenade Launcher: An exclusive grenade launcher with two different types:
- High-Explosive Launcher: Fires impact-triggered explosives designed to damage structures and hit infantry under cover. Can be carried standalone or attached to weapons with a device mount for faster access.
- Thermobaric Grenade Launcher: Fires impact-triggered thermobaric explosives. Ideal for targeting groups of hostiles. The blast deals limited initial damage but stuns and burns enemies for a short period. Can be carried standalone or attached to weapons with a device mount for faster access.
- Adrenaline Injector: A powerful self-administered stimulant to enhance combat capabilities. It temporarily increases sprint speed, reduces explosion damage, provides resistance to negative effects, and makes it easier to hear hostile footsteps.
Support
The Battlefield 6 Support class is there to assist in battle, throw supply boxes, and heal during combat. Supports can place deployable cover, intercept enemy grenades and missiles, and are masters with LMGs.
Your signature weapon is the Machine Gun, which eliminates the movement speed penalty. Additionally, you act as a combat medic, with the characteristic attribute of Quick Revive. This allows for faster stationary or dragged revives.
Field Specialty: Ballistic Medicine
Become a mobile medical unit to heal teammates and help them with enhanced defensive devices.
- Lvl 0 – Field Sustainment: Distribute health packs to teammates when they interact directly with you.
- Lvl 1 – Quick Recovery: Reviving downed teammates initiates your own health regeneration.
- Lvl 2 – Defense Focus: Enhanced stats for all defensive devices.
- Lvl 3 – Aid Station: Press 6 to act as a mobile Supply Bag for 10 seconds. Revive teammates in just 2.5 seconds.
Exclusive Battlefield 6 Support Class Gadgets
- Defibrillator: This equipment can revive both squad and team members. Charge the paddles for a short period to revive a downed soldier with full health. It can also inflict damage on hostiles.
- Deployable Cover: A reinforced ballistic shield for protection against projectiles and explosive damage. The shield can degrade from damage, so fight alongside Battlefield 6 Engineer class soldiers who can repair it and keep it in the fight.
- Supply Bag: A deployable bag that restocks all nearby infantry with ammunition for devices and weapons. It also regenerates health more efficiently, even under enemy fire.
Engineer
The Battlefield 6 Engineer class is designed to counter tanks, helicopters, and jets. Using a backpack full of rockets and mines, this class is a threat to hostile vehicles. It is also the only class capable of repairing allied vehicles, equipment, and weapon placements.
Your signature weapon is the Submachine Gun, which provides improved control for hip-firing. Your characteristic attribute is the Anti-Explosive Vest, which reduces explosive damage by 33%.
Field Specialty: Anti-Armor
Decisively attack enemy armor and hostile vehicles, maintaining the advantage with heavier armaments.
- Lvl 0 – Extra Rockets: Increases the amount of rocket ammo you carry by two units.
- Lvl 1 – Launcher Specialist: Enhanced reload times (15% faster) for launchers.
- Lvl 2 – Armor Debilitator: Dealing damage to hostile vehicles reduces their recovery capacity (-50% for 10 seconds).
- Lvl 3 – Potent Repair: Press 6 to activate the Repair Tool and repair with increased efficiency (+50% for 10 seconds).
Exclusive Battlefield 6 Engineer Class Gadgets
- Rocket Launcher, with two possible models:
- RPG-7V2: A launcher that fires impact-triggered unguided rockets. Provides effective damage against structures and vehicles. Inflicts higher damage on the sides, top, and rear of vehicles where the armor is thinnest.
- SLM-93A: A portable air defense system designed to target airborne vehicles. Requires target lock before launch, after which missiles guide themselves to the target unless intercepted by countermeasures.
- Acoustic Sensor Mine: An anti-vehicle mine that locates targets via audio sensors. Once triggered, it launches an explosive charge that performs a top-down attack, hitting vehicles where they are least protected.
- Repair Tool: A blowtorch for repairing friendly vehicles or equipment. Can also damage hostile equipment. Prolonged use causes the tool to temporarily overheat.
Recon
The Battlefield 6 sniper class looks far and wide to land the perfect headshot. A strategic soldier who identifies hostile positions with drones, plants C4 to destroy tanks and buildings, or controls a laser designator to guide allied unit missiles to the target.
Your signature weapon is the Sniper Rifle. When using this weapon, the player can steady their aim by holding their breath and repositioning faster between shots. Your characteristic attribute is Automatic Spotting, which automatically marks an opponent when you aim at them.
Field Specialty: Sharpshooter
Identify threats from a distance and neutralize targets using your mastery of long-range shooting.
- Lvl 0 – Eagle Eyes: Enhanced automatic detection (+50% speed, +33% range, +10% angle, and +3 seconds duration).
- Lvl 1 – Wounding Shot: Sniper rifle shots to the torso reveal hostiles and slow their healing by 50%.
- Lvl 2 – Confirmed Elimination: Headshots with sniper rifles prevent revival.
- Lvl 3 – V.A.N.T. Call: Press 6 to summon a V.A.N.T. that will follow you and help detect enemies on the field.
