Suggestion: Bring Back C4 to the Support Class

I think it would be a good idea to bring back C4 to the Support class, like in previous Battlefield games.

C4 is a very versatile explosive, and one thing I’ve noticed in BF6 is that it’s rarely used compared to older titles like BF3 and BF4.

Back then, players used C4 frequently to:

Create destruction

Set up ambushes

Place it on vehicles

Act as an additional anti-vehicle threat

This made gameplay more dynamic and forced vehicles to be more cautious.

In BF6, however, its usage feels very limited. I believe this is mainly because it is restricted to the Recon class. Many players prefer to use other gadgets that are more useful for that role, such as drones or claymores.

As a result, C4 ends up being underused, even though it’s a very interesting and strategic tool.

Bringing it back to the Support class could:

Increase its usage

Add more tactical options (ambushes, destruction, vehicle pressure)

Improve overall gameplay variety

Of course, it could still be balanced with certain limitations if needed.

What do you think? Should C4 return to the Support class like in previous Battlefield games?

  • Maybe I'm crazy, but hasn't c4 always been a recon item? At least since bf4?

    xVulture​ Not really. C4 hasn’t always been a Recon-only gadget.

    In BF3 and BF4, it wasn’t exclusive to Recon — Support had access to it as well. That’s actually why you used to see so much C4 gameplay, since Support could both carry explosives and resupply ammo.

    In Bad Company 2, C4 was mainly tied to Assault (who also had ammo resupply), and Recon could use it too.

    And if I remember correctly, in older titles like BF2 and BF2142, Support also had access to C4 or similar explosives.

    So it’s actually a pretty recent change making it mostly Recon-focused — it wasn’t always like that.
