Battlefield 6 Details All 4 Multiplayer Classes

EA has shared a comprehensive overview of all four Battlefield 6 multiplayer classes. Among the revealed details are the new Battlefield 6 class specializations, gadgets, unique traits, and weapon proficiencies.

The publisher has previously revealed limited details about the Battlefield 6 class system, confirming it will feature revamped classes with fixed and customizable elements alike. It said every archetype will have a unique gadget, trait, and a signature weapon that grants perks when used by the matching class (because weapons are no longer class-locked). A new Training Path system was also confirmed, designed with the goal of adding mid-match progression and one-time-use abilities.

During the recently concluded Battlefield 6 multiplayer reveal event, EA delved into the upcoming shooter's class system in much greater detail. This included a breakdown of every defining characteristic of the game's four classes: Assault, Support, Engineer, and Recon, each offering more specialization depth than ever before.

Progression unlocks mid-match upgrades

Specialization paths are at the heart of Battlefield 6's new class system, with each archetype being given two unique options on this front. Assault players can choose between frontline versatility and grenade-heavy breaching, while Engineers can either focus on anti-vehicle disruption or repair support. Recon players can specialize in long-range lethality or stealth flanking, and the Support class will be able to commit to the path of a combat medic or a fire suppression specialist.

Battlefield 6 Class Details Breakdown

Close Assault Gadget: Adrenaline Injector - Resists suppression/blast until hit. Trait: Enhanced Mobility - No fall penalty; reduced fall damage. Proficiency: Assault Rifles - Faster swap speed. Grenadier Specialization: Extra grenades, resistance to flash, faster gadget reloads. Frontline Specialization: Second primary weapon, ladders, more Med Pens, faster healing. Active Ability: Stimulant MK2 - Enhanced stimulant reveals enemies; kills extend duration.

Engineer Gadget: Repair Tool - Rapid vehicle repair. Trait: Explosive Resistance - Less explosive damage. Proficiency: PDWs - Better hip-fire control. Combat Engineer Specialization: Auto-spot mines, slow overheat, better vehicle healing. Anti-Armor Specialization: More rockets, faster reload, slows enemy vehicle repairs. Active Ability: Active Repair - Boosts repair tool effectiveness

Support Gadget: Supply Crate - Heals and gives ammo. Trait: Faster Revive & Drag - Faster revive when stationary. Proficiency: LMGs - No sprint penalty with LMGs. Fire Support Specialization: Deployable cover, faster mortars, mount bonuses. Combat Medic Specialization: Heals, defibs, smoke cover, faster gadget recharge. Active Ability: Active Medic - Mobile supply crate + fast revive.

Recon Gadget: Motion Sensor - Detects enemy movement nearby. Trait: Aim Spotting - Auto-spots while ADS. Proficiency: Sniper Rifles - Faster rechambering, breath hold. Sniper Specialization: Better spotting, chest shots reveal/slow healing, headshots prevent reviving. Pathfinder Specialization: Silent kills, motion sensor evasion, crouch sprint stealth. Active Ability: UAV Call-In - Deploys UAV recon.

Each path unlocks traits such as ammo sharing, silent movement, faster revives, or even the ability to block enemy revives, allowing Battlefield 6 players to fine-tune their characters. Paths also evolve over the course of a match, unlocking new abilities. Taken together, this system has the potential to support a varied multiplayer experience with considerable strategic depth. Naturally, how all of this impacts the game’s meta will still largely depend on overall balancing. One potential drawback is that it could make the game more challenging to balance from a developer's perspective.

Battlefield 6 Multiplayer Beta Starting Soon

The upcoming shooter's class design appears geared toward reestablishing the tactical identity of the Battlefield franchise. Whether it succeeds in doing so should become clearer on August 7, when its beta is scheduled to kick off. The beta will initially only be available to Battlefield Labs members, but then expand to everyone in the August 9–10 period, which falls on Friday and Saturday. Another extended open beta weekend is then set to take place between August 14 and 17, Thursday to Sunday. Battlefield 6's full-fledged PC and current-gen console release is scheduled for October 10.
