Battlefield 6 Classes
Assault, Engineer, Support and Recon explained – each class's signature weapon, gadget and trait, and how to pick the right one for your squad.
Battlefield 6 has four classes, and each one has a clear job in a squad. Your class decides your signature gadget, a passive signature trait and which weapon type gets bonuses, while your gadgets decide whether you're fighting infantry, vehicles or both.
