Battlefield 6

The definitive guide to the new era of warfare. The Class System returns. Destruction is back. This wiki covers the optimal loadouts, vehicle builds, and tactical guides for Season 1: Zero Hour.

The Return of Classes

Assault

Frontline / Medic

The spearhead of the attack. In BF6, Assault reclaims the role of the Combat Medic. You are responsible for reviving teammates and clearing objectives with Assault Rifles.

  • Class Gadget: Defibrillator (Always equipped)
  • Perk: Faster Sprint Speed & AR Proficiency
  • Best Use: Close to Medium Range engagements.

Engineer

Anti-Vehicle / Repair

Vehicles are dominant in BF6. The Engineer is the only counter. Rocket Launchers are restricted to this class.

  • Class Gadget: Repair Tool
  • Weapon Choice: SMGs or PDWs for vehicle crew defense.
  • Essential: Always carry the RPG-7V2 or FIM-92 Stinger.

Support

Resupply / Fortify

LMG suppression and infinite ammo. Support can now build fortifications faster than any other class.

Recon

Intel / Sniper

Information wins wars. Use SOFLAM to paint targets for Engineers.
