Battlefield 6 Medic Guide - Share your knowledge!
Introduction Hello everyone! Following on from the incredible guide from our EA Forums Hero ElliotLH I wanted to provide my own guide to help out with an area of the game I play every single day. Namely, the Medic class. Like Elliots guide this will be a quick-start guide with some tips I find useful in every single match I play. Some of you will be well used to the tips I give here while others might find it useful. I think we can all agree a good medic can make or break the push when the team is rallying to PTFO. Below are some things I do when playing medic that I find work well. For the seasoned support players out there, feel free to add your own advice and tips in the thread and they will be highlighted in this post also as well as any loadout screenshots you want to provide. The Role of a Medic It’s easy to fall into the habit of treating every downed teammate as an instant revive. That’s usually where things go wrong. When someone drops, the fight isn’t over, it’s still happening. If you run in without thinking, you’re just following them into the same mistake. A better way to frame it is this: your job isn’t to revive first, it’s to stabilise the situation. Sometimes that means fighting, sometimes creating space, and only then reviving. Best Practices Below we're going to go through some of the best practices you should implement when playing as a Medic. This list isn't exhaustive but these are base level things you should be doing to ensure maximum success when playing as a medic Awareness Many times you will be your squads only medic, in those situations you are the difference between your squad sitting on the respawn screen or getting back in the fight and restoring the momentum of your push. It's important that you take stock of your surroundings to help ensure not only your survival but that of your squads if and when you need to revive them. Getting that tap-revive with the Defib looks great for your stats but it's not going to help you if your squadmate gets mowed down again immediately. Prioritise between clearing the threat, providing cover for others to clear a threat or as the points below will show, breaking line of sight between the enemy and your squad so you can do what you need to do. You need to be thinking: What should I prioritise as a medic when my squad is down? Controlling the fight Clear the immediate threat. (If your squadmate was just dropped by a visible threat and you are able to engage, engage immediately and clear the threat) If you are unable to clear the threat break the enemy's line of sight. Smoke grenades are a medics best friend. They're versatile, fast and not only do they break the enemy's line of sight on your downed squadmate, but also helps reduce their line of sight for the rest of the engagement Reviving the right way Do you have hard cover available? If so then drag your squadmate to safety. They'll revive in a better state to fight and won't be in immediate danger the moment they're able to move. If you don't have hard cover? Determine if you can get a full defibrilator charge revive off. This will give your squadmate the fighting chance they need to get up and move, without comprimsing your momentum by reviving them with low health. Is there more than one squadmate downed in range? If you have multiple squadmates downed this is where the quickfire tap revives with the defribrilator can clutch things up for you. Yes, you're reviving your teammates with lower health, but you're increasing your numbers immediately while the enemies vision is obscured allowing you to increase your concentration of force straight away which when combined with the dropping of supplies can help sway the tide of the battle in your favour. Place out supplies - Get those supplies down, make sure everyones got ammo and full health regen as they're being revived. The fight isn't over yet and it's hard to change the outcome if your squad is low on health and ammo. Communication tips. Elliot spoke a bit about how important communication is when controlling a vehicle. Being a medic is a little different but communication is still important. If someone doesn't know a medic is coming to revive, they're going to release and respawn, which is a ticket lost and a fighter in this battle missing until they manage to get back to the front line. Heres what I find helpful, even if you're not able to talk over the mic. An important thing to remember, your communication doesn't need to be perfect, it just needs to be useful. Acknowledge revive requests! (This one's important.) I always try to acknowledge revive requests when moving into an area under fire where theres a lot of people needing revives. I can't get to everyone at once and believe me I get the impatience of wanting to get back into the fight so I understand that people skip if they think they're being ignored by the medic. Acknowledge those requests and make good on them as long as it's possible. People are more likely to hang on when they know theres a good medic nearby. Use the ping system if the revived person is in your squad to notify them of supplies or that you've smoked an area. Update them on the situation as best you can. Request cover fire. No matter how good you are as a medic, you can't help yourself if you're downed. We've all seen the heroic plays of the medic diving into oncoming fire to pull off the revive but if you've got no cover that heroic action isn't going to last long. So request that cover fire! Use text chat to coordinate cover for large engagements if you don't have a mic. Especially if you're one of only a few medics. When theres only a couple of you it can take some time to get everyone back to fighting shape. If the person is in your squad and you haven't cleared the area before the revive LET THEM KNOW. When you're outnumbered, reviving your squadmate isn't going to be much good if they don't know where the enemy is once they're back on their feet. Alright, next part. What loadout to run? This part is where it becomes a bit subjective. Yes Support class players have a bonus with the LMG's. If you like to provide fire support then thats the best way. You can lay down heavy fire for a prolonged period and with the right positioning, you can help hold the area against multiple enemies. Personally I always play more of a "combat medic" role, prioritising speed and close range fighting strength. On that note Here's some screenshots of what I personally tend to use. Here I opt for the PW5A3 SMG. It's perfect for close quarters. Accurate and has a solid rate of fire for quick run and gun engagements for when I'm darting in and out of cover popping off some revives. As part of that I opt to use the M320A1 SMK smoke grenade launcher along with throwable smoke grenades so that I have maximum capability for line of sight denial while reviving, particularly on the objective. For how I set up my PW5A3 you can view the screenshot below. This isn't something you have to replicate, it's just what I personally like running, the important part when building out a loadout is finding what works for you. What weapon are you comfortable with and what is your particular playstyle. For example, here is what ElliotLH tends to use: Common Mistakes Most issues come down to a few repeat habits: Reviving before dealing with the threat Using smoke too late or not at all Focusing on one teammate and losing awareness Forgetting to stabilise after revives (no supplies, poor positioning) Overcommitting to “hero” plays in bad situations Fixing these alone will noticeably improve your impact. Conclusion And there we have it, this guide is by no means exhaustive and there is absolutely some even more skilled medics in the community who may have different tips than I have laid out here. It's my hope that they will add their own tips within this thread and we will highlight what we can to help any burgeoning support players out there. I hope you find this guide useful and absolutely feel free to provide your own top key advice or share screenshots of your own loadouts that work best and we will highlight them here. If you've got any clips of a time you've made a clutch revive, or where your medic work turned the tide of a match feel free to include them here, we'd love to feature them in future posts. Have other discussion points for the Support class? Post them in the Weekly Class Debrief - Support See you on the Battlefield, PTFO.
I hereby request EA to shut down the BF Chinese Community permanently.
I request EA Official to shut down the unofficial community account **Battlefield Chinese Community** (UID: 393698717) on Bilibili (www.bilibili.com), a social media platform in mainland China. Recently, the Battlefield Chinese Community held a so-called friendly match with a gaming community from Australia. Following the friendly match, a large number of racist remarks targeting China emerged. The Battlefield Chinese Community bears fundamental responsibility for this outrageous incident. During the preparation of the friendly match, the community did not conduct any public recruitment of participants or release any relevant match information on its Bilibili platform. Local Chinese players only found out about the tournament after the racist remarks broke out. It shall be stated clearly that the organizers and affiliated members of this community account do not represent the player base of the Chinese-speaking community. They have long claimed to be the official "Chinese Community" without any legitimate qualification. They have no right to represent Chinese players in any competitions between different countries or regions. Their operation is not that of an ordinary player community; instead, they attempt to pose as the official *Battlefield* authority and mislead Chinese-speaking players. During the negotiation over the match rules, the Battlefield Chinese Community hastily agreed to the relevant terms without sufficient deliberation, demonstrating their extremely amateur ability in match negotiations. A community organization behaving in such a farcical manner has neither the capability nor the qualification to represent the Chinese-speaking player community. It should be emphasized that during the preparation for the friendly match, members of this organization adopted a highly perfunctory attitude toward the event, showing disrespect and provocation toward the Australian team. Shockingly, some of their participating players were only at level 20, which fully demonstrates their utter negligence and indifference to the match. Such behavior seriously violates the spirit of sportsmanship and constitutes the root cause of the severe fallout from this tournament. The most serious consequence of this match is that the Australian gaming community publicly issued racist remarks targeting players from the Chinese-speaking community after the event. This incident has exerted an extremely far-reaching negative impact, severely intensified racial tensions and cultural conflicts, and completely deviated from the original intention of holding a friendly match. The fundamental cause of all this remains the perfunctory and dismissive attitude of the Battlefield Chinese Community toward the competition. I urge the official EA to take legal measures to ban this community as soon as possible, so as to prevent the community environment of the Chinese-speaking player base from further deteriorating under the influence of this account.
You dont listen and fixed nothing. Just a rant to make me feel better
Pc players still forced to play with console players, most controller users never miss, 3 to the head 2 to the body, every sniper shot is a head shot, dmrs shoot like smgs, smgs kill you from over 100m away everytime. One quick search shows 1000s of videos on how to get zero recoil and better aim assist using setting you provide not to mention the 3rd party devices and scripts. You took away coop and gave casual breakthrough, where all these console players seem to be. Along with these and the shocking AI, I have videos of AI just looking at each other, and the point getting taken by the other team and no less than 7 AI standing just outside the objective letting it happen with no enemy near by. The AI never miss, see though smoke and instantly know where you are even if you shoot suppressed. And yous have the nerve to give less xp against Ai. 4 or more rockets to kill a tank is obscene. And helicopters are just as bad, lock on to helicopter, fire, they pop flares, go out of bounds or below radar, recharge flares, rinse and repeat. You constantly get shot behind walls, around corners, behind rocks. I have no faith in this game getting fixed, it took yous years to kind of fix 2042, I'm still bitter about yous selling the game with features then taking them away after launch. You load into the game and it's more like a shop, everywhere you look you are trying to sell something. Stop trying to push redsec on people! Double points if you do this challenge on redsec is a joke, especially as the stats show this is where the majority of cheats go and get banned. I play because my friends play, but the general consensus between us is that this game truly is hateful.
Request: Option to Move the Minimap to the Top Left
Hi everyone, I wanted to share some feedback about the current minimap location. Having it in the bottom left corner feels really uncomfortable and it’s hard to see during gameplay and often ends up being ignored. Could you please make the minimap position customizable, or at least give us the option to move it to the top left corner, like in most FPS games? It would make it much easier to use and improve overall awareness during matches. And if making this change mandatory for everyone isn’t possible, it would be great to have a menu option that lets players choose between top or bottom placement that way, everyone can play the way they prefer. Thanks a lot for considering this! D. [EA_Garrus - Moved from BF6 IT to EN boards. Please ensure that you post in the correct language forum!]
EA wants to punish me...

Is it adjusted to have a 50% win rate?
I’ve been playing in Japan, but since there were so many matches that ended with a lopsided score, I decided to track my win-loss ratio over four days—playing 63 Conquest matches—to see how it would turn out. Out of 63 matches, I won 28, for a win rate of about 60%. Of those 63 matches, I played 31 alone, with a win rate of about 58%. Of those 63 matches, I played 32 with friends, resulting in a win rate of about 64%. Based on my win rate from this analysis and the win rates of a few friends, I believe the game is balanced so that when playing solo, the win rate is around 50%. However, when playing with friends, factors such as better coordination and the ability to move strategically give us an advantage, allowing us to consistently achieve a win rate of over 60%.Battlefield 6 Map Request – Hainan Resort
Hello DICE Team, I’ve been a Battlefield fan since Battlefield 4 and I wanted to share a request for Battlefield 6. Would it be possible to bring back Hainan Resort from Battlefield 4 as a remake or reimagined map? Many longtime Battlefield players still love this map because of its atmosphere, destruction, vehicle gameplay, and overall balance. I think it would fit perfectly into Battlefield 6 and many fans would be excited to see it return. Thank you for your work and for listening to community feedback.
