First, I think abdominal hits should deal 100% damage. In real combat, shots to the torso are usually far more serious than limb hits, and from a gameplay perspective this would reduce situations where players survive unrealistic body shots with too much health left. It would also make hit registration feel more believable and improve the value of accurate center-mass aiming.
Second, Assault players should be immune to suppression effects after using the adrenaline syringe. The syringe already feels like a temporary combat stimulant, so it makes sense for it to help the Assault class push aggressively through heavy fire. This would give the ability a clearer purpose and make it more impactful during close-quarters assaults, where the class is supposed to excel.
Third, I think the Assault class should have a dedicated syringe that only restores health. Right now, a more focused healing tool would give Assault a stronger self-sustain option without overlapping too much with other classes. It could also create more meaningful loadout choices and help distinguish between aggressive utility and pure survivability.
Fourth, Medics equipped with the portable med pack should be able to self-heal with one button, similar to Battlefield V. This would improve flow and reduce unnecessary downtime in the middle of a fight. Since Medics are responsible for keeping themselves and teammates in the fight, a quick self-heal option would make the class feel smoother and more responsive without making it overpowered.
Finally, when using a suppressor or subsonic ammunition, the enemy’s incoming-fire direction indicator should be removed or significantly reduced. If a weapon is intentionally built for stealth, it makes sense that the enemy should have less accurate feedback about where the shots are coming from. This would make stealth-oriented setups more meaningful and reward players who choose to sacrifice raw damage or range for better concealment.
Chest is where your most vital organs lie, which is the only " realistic" reason why it still has 1x damage. It's more to do with rewarding proper shot placement, I think most people already aim at the chest when shooting centre mass. So I can't see it being too detrimental to your average player overall.
You could make an argument that the inner thigh should be 1x as that's where the femoral artery lies. But I'd be such a small hit box that It'd have such a minimal impact on the TTK.
Syringe ideas are a step in the right direction, the problem with having two is that it thins out the loadout and overall flexibility of those who want to equip both.
Plus suppression is an incredibly weak mechanic in BF6 that having temporary immunity to it isn't all that amazing. If suppression also gave blurred vision, a minor tinnitus effect with reduced spacial sound volume and increased weapon sway / reduced ADS accuracy then It'd be a more impactful mechanic. In which having temporary immunity from would be greatly beneficial.
I'd be in favour of the small medical pouches having an instant self use function providing supports utility got split into two, an ammunition only training path and a healing only training path.
As beng able to use a small supply pouch instantly and being able to throw down the large ammunition/healing crate is getting really rather broken by that point.
But by splitting up the utility, so one training path has an instant heal and the healing crate. While the other has instant ammo and the ammunition crate is ok.
I think with the reduced incoming fire detection it'd have been with a suppressor and subsonic ammo combo only mechanic. Otherwise it'd be to strong.
Trade off could be subsonics and suppressor combo have reduced suppressive fire mechanics, which if suppression got a buff, would make it an interesting mechanics trade off.
