The iconic Classes of Recon, Support, Assault, and Medic return in Battlefield™ V, each with distinct weapons and gadgets to forge a squad that can control any fight. Battlefield V is also delivering more depth to these classes with the introduction of Combat Roles, which bring a package of traits that give players more flexibility during battles.



Today we’ll focus on the Assault Class, the infantry backbone suitable for most firefights.



A reminder: the game is still in development and all game features may be subject to change. We’ll update as necessary. Still have questions? Check out the upcoming Reddit AMA with three lead Battlefield V developers.

Assault Class in Battlefield V The Assault Class is the door-kicker, always out front and best when it comes to close or medium range battles. Choose this Class if you want to lead an attack or clear out dug-in, stubborn enemies in the nooks and crannies of an area. Although lacking the outright stopping power of a sniper rifle or suppression of an LMG or MMG, good positioning can let you rain down accurate potshots at enemies from a distance and use gadgets to obliterate some vehicles.



Assault offers a balance of offense and defense in most situations – both anti-infantry and the Class best equipped to leave vehicles in a fiery heap. However, it’s difficult for the Assault Class to hard-counter sniper fire, so be careful not to get caught out in the open.



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.



Weapons and gadgets are set per Class and more can be unlocked just by playing. Weapons can be customized as part of your Company.
