While DICE has released a ton of info regarding Battlefield V’s classes today, the studio isn’t done yet! In an announcement by Global Community Manager Dan Mitre, DICE will do a Q&A over on Reddit tomorrow!

According to DICE, it’ll be a “Reddit Ask Us Almost Anything” (AMAA) which willhappen tomorrow, Wednesday, September 26 (which is today for some people), at 9 a.m. PDT! Joining the Q&A will be Multiplayer Producer David Sirland, Design Director Daniel Berlin, and other DICE developers as they answer questions pertaining to the classes and combat roles.

Once it’s live, we’ll be sure to let people know. You can count on us to post the relevant info from the Q&A here on MP1st too.

If you need a refresher, check out the Assault, Medic, Support, and Recon class details to know the right questions to ask.

It’s no secret that the Assault class is a versatile class to play as in Battlefield V. It’s so versatile that that it was the most used class in the Battlefield V beta, which was surprising given there wasn’t a lot of vehicles available in the beta.

If you like having a versatile weapon that can handle close and mid-range fights, and taking out vehicles, then the Assault class is for you (via EA).

Weapons and Gadgets

Assault comes equipped with weapons that have effective hip-fire and respectable range. Their gadgets can weaken or destroy some vehicles, topple Fortifications, and wipe out a nest of enemies with one well-placed sticky dynamite or grenade.

Primary Weapon Categories

• Assault Rifles
• Semi-Automatic Rifles

Starter Gadgets

• Rifle Grenade Launcher
• Sticky Dynamite

Combat Roles

Combat Roles are tied to classes and provide two traits. Each class gets two Combat Roles at launch, with one equipped as a default, with the other unlocked by playing the game. More will release as part of Tides of War.

Light Infantry (Default)

Face it, sometimes the job of the Assault is to be outright reckless, running muzzle first into the thick of battle. The first of our Assault Combat Roles, Light Infantry, compensates for the extra bullet holes you might incur in the service of your squad with the ability to regenerate more health.

This Combat Role is also for the quick draw shooter who doesn’t always have the proximity of a Support player or enough breathing room to stop and smell the supply point. You know the art of the secret ammo stash and can scavenge additional ammo from fallen soldiers.

Light Infantry Traits

• Scavenger: Find more ammo on defeated enemies and fallen comrades.
• Battle Hardened: Regenerate a higher amount of Health than other Combat Roles.

Tank Buster (Unlockable)

Keep playing the Assault Class to unlock the Tank Buster. When the enemy team starts deploying tanks mid-match, spawn as the Tank Buster to soften their steel shell and automatically spot them to everyone on your team, so they can help put the tank out of its misery.

Also, if it’s you that destroys a spotted tank, you’ll reap extra Requisition Points that let your squad call in Reinforcements, like tanks and V-1 rockets, at a quicker pace.

Tank Buster Traits

•  Tank Painter: Vehicles that you damage become spotted.
• Tank Scrapper: Vehicles that you destroy yield additional Requisition.

Tips for the Assault Class:

To start, the base Assault Combat Role, Light Infantry, is the perfect entry point for newcomers and veterans alike, thanks to its straightforward traits that aim to give this Combat Role an increased durability and a decreased reliance on assistance from teammates to secure an objective.

Try sprinting between fallen soldiers to collect their dropped ammo – you will always find more than others.

The second Assault Combat Role, Tank Buster, comes equipped with two traits designed to better the odds against vehicles. Simply by damaging a vehicle when playing as the Vehicle Buster, you will spot that vehicle for your entire team. This can make a huge difference for the rest of your team in being able to help take it out – even your friends who are piloting airplanes in the skies above will clearly see the vehicle spotted below for an easier bombing run or strafing run.

Don’t forget to use your mines, dynamite, or rocket launcher to damage a vehicle, too. Even if you don’t manage to destroy it, it is now spotted for your entire team to see.

Continuing today’s big blowout on Battlefield V classes, DICE goes in-depth with the Battlefield V recon class!

While it’s called the “Recon” class which is short for reconnaissance, Battlefield players will simply know it as the sniper class. If you like fighting at a distance, and nailing headshots from far away, then the Recon class is for you — just don’t forget to spot enemies in the process, alright? Here’s the starting gadgets and Combat Roles of the Recon class (via EA).

Weapons and Gadgets

Recon has access to a slew of rifles that rely on accurate, single shot firing. Their ability to steady their aim makes the most of these weapons, but Recon can also be more than effective at medium range, with some training. You don’t have to be the best shot in your squad to contribute, however, as your Gadgets are designed to spot enemies and defend choke points. 

Primary Weapon Categories

• Bolt Action Rifles
• Self-Loading Rifles

Starter Gadgets

• Spotting Scope
• Bouncing Betty Bomb

Combat Roles

Combat Roles are tied to classes and provide two traits. Each class gets two Combat Roles at launch, with one equipped as a default, with the other unlocked by playing the game. More will release as part of Tides of War.

Sniper (Base)

The Sniper Combat Role goes to the ghost who haunts in the distance, the myth who lives in the hills, the soldier who was never there. The ice water in your veins allows you to hold your breath to steady your rifle for an extended period, making it easier to dispatch enemies in streaks. Land a headshot, and you’ll slightly extend the duration of your steadying breath.
Sniper Traits

•  Steady Hands: Steady your rifle when aiming down sights for a longer duration.
• Expert Marksman: Your steady duration is partially replenished with each headshot kill.

Pathfinder (Unlockable)

Where the Sniper leads from afar, the Pathfinder Combat Role leads from the front, and behind enemy lines. When a battle shifts locations, you ensure that your squad is not far behind. You have the ability to spawn on any Squad Leader on your team, scout the situation, and then deploy a Spawn Beacon, so that your squad can follow the latest point of conflict.

The Spawn Beacon can also be used to bring your squad to an uncontrolled objective for a quick capture or, if sneaky enough, deploy behind enemy lines to take it from within.

Pathfinder Traits

• Advance Scouting: You can spawn on friendly Squad Leaders and Spawn Beacons from outside your own squad.
• Vanguard: You gain additional Requisition Points when someone spawns on your Spawn Beacon.

Tips for the Recon Class:

Recon is typically the Class for players who prefer to engage at medium to long range with Bolt Action Rifles or Self-Loading Rifles. In Battlefield V, the two Combat Roles within this Class have different strengths tailored to different playstyles.

When playing as the Sniper Combat Role, find the perfect sniping spot at long range and hold your breath to steady your scope. Try to string headshot kills together to keep your steady duration replenished.

Pathfinders should look for the latest hotspot on the map, spawn on another squad’s Squad Leader or Spawn Beacon near that location, then use a Spawn Beacon gadget to open the area to your squad mates so they can quickly transport across the map and join you.

As part of DICE’s on-going look at the Battlefield V classes, we now have the official details regarding the Battlefield V Support class!

Primary Weapon Categories

• Light Machine Guns
• Medium Machine Guns

Starter Gadgets

• Ammo Pouch
• Anti-Tank Mine

Just yesterday, DICE announced the info roadmap for Battlefield V before it launches later this November. As it turns out, the game’s classes and combat roles are being detailed today!

If you like being in the frontlines and being able to revive your teammates, then check out the official details of the Battlefield V Medic class and what combat roles players can familiarize themselves with (via EA).

Weapons and Gadgets

You need to be up close to heal and revive, so the easy-to-control, close-quarter SMG is the best choice when you can’t afford the distance of a sniper rifle or lots of time behind a machine gun. Create cover and obscure the enemy’s vision with the Smoke Grenade Launcher and use the opportunity to revive multiple downed friendlies.

Primary Weapon Category

•  Sub-Machine Guns

Starter Gadgets

•  Medical Pouch
• Smoke Grenade Launcher

Combat Roles

Combat Roles are tied to classes and provide two traits. Each class gets two Combat Roles at launch, with one equipped as a default, with the other unlocked by playing the game. More will release as part of Tides of War.

Field Medic (Base)

The Field Medic Combat Role is the squad’s best friend when a fight takes a turn for the worse. You see the bigger picture and know that supplying Medical Pouches to those in need yields additional Requisition Points, which in turn means that your squad will be able to call in more Reinforcements at a quicker pace. Still, you have intense focus and will sprint faster toward downed friendlies that you spot.

Field Medic Traits

•  Healer: You gain additional Requisition Points when you supply Medical Pouches to teammates.
• Swift Effort: You sprint faster when calling out to a downed friendly soldier.

Combat Medic (Unlockable)

The Combat Medic Combat Role walks the fine line of altruistic and reckless, sprinting faster to and from gunfire when in low health, ready to dispense health and revive while still knocking down foes with a melee weapon.

Combat Medic Traits

• Melee Expert: All of your melee attacks automatically take down enemies.
• Emergency Retreat: You sprint faster when at critical Health.

Finally, DICE has even laid out a few gameplay tips for those who are thinking of playing as a medic in Battlefield V!

Tips for the Medic Class:

Whether you play the Field Medic or Combat Medic, making sure to supply your teammates with Medical Pouches when possible will always help your overall effort. Equipping the Medical Crate as an optional gadget, which you can earn through progression, lets you place healing supplies in set tactical locations instead of requiring you to stay within throwing distance of friends.

Experiment with each Combat Role when you unlock the Medical Crate and see what fits your playstyle and the current situation best.

Field Medics, be sure you try this: use the Spot button to ping your downed friends, which will trigger a temporary burst of sprint speed. This can help reach your friends in time and make you a harder target for pesky enemies. Calling out to downed friends like this will also ping them in the UI to make them aware of your intentions to revive.

Combat Medics, remember to deploy smoke near fallen friends, then engage any enemies nearby with your SMG and your lethal melee attacks. Once the area is clear, use your Medic skills to revive your friends.
