In Battlefield 1 we take a closer look at the elite classes.
In just a few days, the open beta of Battlefield 1 will begin. Then you can finally put on your helmet, grab your rifle, and experience the “World War I” setting up close. Fans’ expectations are high, and the open beta is eagerly awaited.
However, not all soldiers on the battlefield are the same. Some are more powerful than others. We will introduce these elite classes below.
A flame thrower, a human tank, and an anti-tank weapon
In Battlefield 1, there are three playable elite classes that can significantly influence the outcome of the battle – provided you use them correctly.
The Flame Trooper
This elite soldier loves to play with fire. He is equipped with a flamethrower and wears fire-resistant clothing, allowing him to heat things up for his enemies.
How can you defeat him? The Flame Trooper constantly wears a gas mask, making him relatively slow and limiting his field of vision. If you don’t want to burn your fingers on him, you must attack him from a safe distance.
The Sentry
This elite unit wears a sturdy plate armor and can withstand attacks from a distance with ease. This “human tank” can not only absorb a lot of damage but also deal it: armed with a water-cooled automatic machine gun, he fills enemy lines with lead and can quickly bring peace.
But: Compared to the Flame Trooper, the Sentry does not wear a gas mask. This reveals a weakness.
The Tank Hunter
This character is the nightmare of all tank drivers. From a safe distance, he attacks prone with a devastating weapon: the 1918 Tank Gun. With it, the Tank Hunter can take out enemy infantry and vehicles alike – but only if he is in a prone position.
Because the Tank Gun has an extreme recoil, the weapon must be anchored to the ground with its bipod. With the Tank Gun, the name is the program.
On August 31, the open beta of Battlefield 1 will start. Here you can already take a look at the elite classes in advance. Here we summarize all the information about the test phase.
This is what you need to consider when entering battle on horseback in BF1.
