AnEejit I agree with you on the idea of having 5 classes. In my opinion, that’s the ideal setup for BF6: Assault, Medic, Engineer, Support, and Recon.
I also really like the idea of splitting the resupply roles:
-ammo crates for Support
-medical crates for Medic
-explosive resupply for Assault
I think this is a very strong change because it makes teamwork much more important. No more “do everything yourself” resupply — now players actually need to rely on each other, which fits Battlefield’s core identity.
For the deploy beacon, I’m honestly neutral. I liked it on Recon, but I also think it works well on Assault. It’s just a different use case:
-with Assault, beacons are placed more aggressively, right in the action
-with Recon, they were more tactical, usually safer spawn points further away
Another point: I think flashbangs should stay with Assault, while Medics should get all smoke-related gadgets, like you mentioned. That fits their role much better.
However, I don’t agree with the signature weapon system as proposed. I think it should be simpler and closer to classic Battlefield:
-Assault → Assault Rifles
-Engineer → SMGs
-Support → LMGs
-Medic → Carbines
-Recon → Sniper Rifles
This keeps each class identity clear, similar to what made BF3 and BF4 so successful.
For the deployable cover, I think it should stay with Support. Its main purpose is to create defensive positions, which fits perfectly with LMG gameplay (bipod, holding angles, etc.).
Finally, for the training paths, I agree that there should be more of them with clearly defined roles. It would allow players to specialize and choose bonuses that truly match their playstyle without breaking overall class balance.
Your ideas are very good, and I hope they will be considered by the development team.
Cheers, I selected two signature weapons for each class as theirs two training paths, some are so different that one weapon type doesn't make all that sense.
Also if I'd kept it as one weapon each then we'd have two weapons that didn't " belong " to anyone. Four and three wasn't too bad, five and two seems odd. This way all weapons have a viable class build where they can receive a signature weapon buff.
The deployable cover for Medic is for risky smoke revives. I've dropped the paddles and equipped the shield so I can pop smokes, put a shield down Infront of the downed teammate, so i have cover to do my job and they are alive for more than 0.5 seconds after I revive them.
AnEejit I see your reasoning behind having two signature weapons per class, and it’s interesting to look at it that way.
As for the deployable shield, I think that’s a really solid tactic for risky smoke revives. That said, I feel like the ideal solution would be to make it available to both classes. It would keep that strong utility while allowing more flexibility depending on playstyle.
They both have the deployable shield. ☺️.
Yes DMRs and shotguns are arguably the most niche of all the weapon types, without a signature weapon buff or a class to belong to, they'd be an unattractive or unlikely pick.
