Battlefield 6 abandons the Specialist approach of 2042 in favor of a classic four-class setup with Assault, Engineer, Support, and Recon.
Classes give squads identity through their perks, gadgets, and traits, yet still support flexible setups.
Unlike older games that locked weapons to classes, Battlefield 6 lets players use almost any weapon, but signature bonuses encourage sticking to your class’s preferred arsenal. This ensures that freedom and order coexist.
How Does the Class System Work?
You can pick any of the four classes at the start of a match or after a respawn, and switch between them while the game is ongoing.
Each class offers a weapon type, a gadget, a trait, and Field Specs. These are specializations that customize your role.
For example, Grenades and mobility define Assault, whereas Engineers bring heavy anti-vehicle tools or repair systems.
The design encourages players to read the situation, since breaking in, defending, or countering vehicles all call for different classes.
What Are the Four Core Classes?
- Assault: Assault leads the squad into objectives and breaks defenses. This class leans on speed and versatile tools to control close-to-mid range combat. Assault has been adjusted to work best alongside teammates. The addition of deploy beacons shows that Assault is about kills and safe entry points for teammates.
- Engineer: No class handles vehicles better than Engineers, who can knock out enemy armor with mines and launchers while repairing allies with the blowtorch. Engineers in Battlefield 6 use tactical destruction to break walls and cover instead of demolishing full maps. Engineers secure objectives by taking down tanks and improving squad mobility.
- Support: Support keeps the squad moving with quick revives, steady ammo, and deployable cover. Support uses LMG bonuses to keep enemies pinned while holding key choke points and resupplying allies. Field Specs let Support specialize either as a constant source of healing or as a firepower booster with turrets and extra ammo.
- Recon: Recon is the squad’s scout, using sensors, spotting tools, and rifles to track enemy movement and eliminate priority targets. Recon in Battlefield 6 goes far beyond long-range kills, with tools like UAVs and spotting tech that keep the whole squad informed. The class is important on large maps where visibility and awareness can make or break an advance.
How Are Classes Being Updated Post-Beta?
According to DICE, beta feedback showed Assault was too strong, so it was nerfed to rein in its independence and improve its role within the squad.
Updates to classes, such as Support, aim to make them more valuable during engagements.
They explained that the version tested was already outdated, indicating that balance work is ongoing.
