Battlefield 6 is not only for long-time shooter professionals who shoot everything to the ground. It is also for casual players and older gamers. And in Battlefield, anyone can be a valuable teammate, at least if these 10 tips are followed.
What are these tips? In Battlefield 6, you don’t need god-like aim or devilish movement to be valuable to your team. There are a few tips we can give you to help you contribute to success without extensive training.
Many tips aim to play the game as a team, make proper use of your class, and not consider yourself an unbeatable action hero.
Do not go lone wolf
Stay with your squad and don’t roam alone – you are not John Rambo. Your squad is prepared for different situations thanks to the diverse classes, for which you have no answer alone with your class. Also, your squad can revive you at any time, even if they don’t have a Medic. This saves tickets, which is crucial for victory.
PTFO (Play the f* objective!)
It’s about victory, not useless kills. Capture flags, protect objectives, and occasionally play classes that are necessary for the team’s success, like an Engineer when your opponents are dominating with vehicles.
Wait for dead squad mates
If your entire squad has fallen, you should, if possible, briefly take cover to allow your teammates to respawn at your position. If you die or are permanently in combat, they have to spawn at the possibly faraway flag.
Wait for the revive
Don’t give up too quickly when you’re bleeding out. Instead, wait for a possible revive; otherwise, you waste tickets! This is especially a surefire way to lose as an attacker in modes like Rush and Breakthrough.
Utilize your class
Medics, please use your defibrillator and revive fallen soldiers! You might be playing the class because it is now also responsible for supplying new ammunition, but that doesn’t prevent you from using the defibrillator. Also regularly deploy your crates to heal teammates and supply them with ammunition.
Engineers, focus on vehicles. Destroy enemy and repair allied vehicles. Also important: RPGs are not intended for killing infantry.
Recon: You are not just there to camp on a mountain and snipe. Supply your team with intel, scout areas, and mark enemies.
Assault soldiers, you are also more than just a battering ram with two primary weapons. A spawn beacon or the new ladder may provide your team with more than a secondary weapon that you often do not use.
Choose your class wisely
Adopt a class that has not been chosen by your squadmates or is still needed to be as broad and prepared for all eventualities as possible. In team deathmatch without vehicles, you may not need two engineers, while a medic might be useful.
Reconnaissance is important
Mark enemy infantry and vehicles (not just as Recon), your team will thank you and help you. Especially helicopters and jets can provide better support from the air and quickly and precisely eliminate enemy tanks when you mark them.
Tanks are not rental cars
Vehicles are crucial for success, don’t waste them and absolutely do not leave them unmanned. It harms your team massively if you just drive a tank to the flag and then leave it there. Your opponents can steal it, and your team cannot use or replace it until it is destroyed.
Don’t just gear up for maximum offense
In some situations, it may be wise to choose your equipment for defensive situations. A smoke grenade may be more valuable to your team than a frag grenade. Also gadgets like the medic’s grenade deflector or the recon’s motion sensor can help hold a crucial contested position and thus secure victory.
Practice outside of open matches as well
Every player has the opportunity to create and use their own server in Portal. There you can, for example, attempt your first flight with a helicopter or a jet. Of course, you can also do this in an ongoing match, but it rarely ends in success. If you do manage to take off, you quickly have enemy Stingers, jets, or helicopters behind you. So you won’t learn much until you find yourself in a wreck. Additionally, the final phase of a contested match with enemy vehicle dominance may not be the best time to practice.
