Please offer alternative skins for the Recon class ala BF4.

As a former Infantry military guy that was at one time in a Reconnaissance unit, I have to say that 99 percent of the Recon class skins look really cringe. 

For military guys most of these Recon skins are pure cringe.  It’s the same camo netting on the shoulders with some cool guy, COD boi,  absurd looking balaclava. While we do wear the balaclavas, it’s almost always  worn in under a Ballistic helmet. 

For the Recon class skins there are almost zero options with a helmet Ballistic helm. Yes Recon guys and Scout Snipers wear Ballistic helmets and Body Armor in Urban combat!! 

Also why are there  no Boonie Hat options ala BF4 minus the BF6 silly camo netting on the shoulders?  With the boonie hat we usually just use cammie face paint instead of the balaclava. 

Please change it up a bit away from the same exact look for every “new” Recon skin. It’s the same general look repeated over and over. 

Most of the other classes have legit looking operator skins. Can we please get some alternatives for the recon class? 

The BF4 Recon skins are a good place to start for inspiration. 

Bonus Content:  if you need real world inspiration for future skins, Google and take a look at pictures from the following units. 

  • USMC Raiders
  • USMC Force Recon
  • US Air Force Para Rescue(PJ’s)
  • SAS for Albion Alternatives 
  • SBS(Special Boat Service) Albion
  • US Special Forces 
  • SEAL Teams
  • DEVGRU
  • TF 160 Night Stalkers 

In addition you guys can take some of the current skins already on game, take away the silly 1980’s neon blues and orange and redo the colors into Desert and Jungle colored camouflage and gear. 

- Espada Engineer skin for Pax Armata is one of the coolest looking skins in game but is totally ruined by the absurd BRIGHT HUNTER ORANGE.  Why would you do this??? Can we get a desert tan or Coyote Brown version of this outfit as well as a jungle set of fatigues.

  • The reason a lot of em are just camo netting is because of gameplay restrictions. If I see the guy with RPGs poking out of the bag I'll know its an engie. If I see the ghillie'd up camo netting guy I recognize it as recon. Same with assault and the sledge and support having spare ammo. 

    You need to keep some of those elements consistent to maintain class and silhouette recognition.

    Actually that theory is negated by the generic skins that can be used by all classes and the fact that any class can carry any primary weapon. 

    The Recon skins from BF4 would be a great redo for BF6 like DICE did by importing the BF4 Assault skin(for BF6 NATO Support) and the BF4 Chinese Engineer skin(For Pax).

    Thing is even then a lot of them share elements which is gonna be that deliberate design choice to retain some amount of class identification, and also some of those elements are just outright the gadgets so theyre locked to the character and skin agnostic.
