Get Better at Battlefield 6: Simple Tips to Boost Your K/D

Before getting to the point, we want to thank LevelCapGaming for giving us a look at the best tips and tricks for getting good in Battlefield 6. So, without further ado, let's jump to the best tips and tricks for Battlefield 6:

Changing Classes

There are four classes in Battlefield 6, each catering to different playstyles. If you're playing with the assault class and struggling to pick off enemies in action, you can switch to the support or recon class to slow things down. Just before you respawn, you can select the Edit Loadout prompt and switch to other classes in no time.

If you like to take constant gunfights or lead the charge for your team, then pick the Assault Class. On the other hand, if you're eager to help your team by healing, reviving, and supplying them, then pick the Support Class. Now, if you want to be in charge of demolition and repairing vehicles for your team, pick the Engineer Class. Lastly, if you're used to playing with patience and from longer ranges, then pick the Recon Class.

Faster Movement

While the movement speed while your weapon is equipped might seem faster, it is actually the slowest movement speed of all past Battlefield titles. However, you can make it faster by simply switching to your melee weapon or your knife. The movement speed while your knife is equipped is a lot faster than the usual weapon-equipped movement speed. So, equipping your knife during movement can be a gamechanger for you while playing on large-scale modes like Conquest and Breakthrough.

Maximizing Assault Class Ammo

If you're playing the Assault Class in Battlefield 6, you might have noticed that your ammo count for your primary weapon is a lot less than usual. This new change is due to the weapon sling feature, which allows you to carry an extra weapon like a shotgun or DMR, which means your ammo is split between these two weapons.

You can easily change this by equipping a second gadget instead of the second weapon. This will direct your full ammo count to your primary weapon, allowing you to spawn with the maximum amount of ammo.

Using Suppression to Your Advantage

Suppression has made its way back into Battlefield 6, and it will surely become a crucial mechanic for dominating gunfights. The suppression mechanic simply blocks the health regeneration capability for the players hit by gunfire. You can use this mechanic to your advantage by spraying LMGs and carbines at chokepoints through smoke or from longer distances to suppress your opponents. 

If they are hit by your gunfire, your teammates can pick them off easily, considering their health regeneration has been affected. However, if they bail or escape (to get heals) after getting hit by your suppressing fire, you can easily cover the distance and set up your position, allowing you to catch them off guard.

Active Abilities

All classes in Battlefield 6 feature their own active abilities. Active abilities are XP-based abilities that get recharged as you keep playing a match. Here are the active abilities of all classes in Battlefield 6:

  • Assault: Nearby enemies that are audible become revealed for the player, with kills prolonging the effect.
  • Support: Supply area of effect around self and revive speed is temporarily increased. 
  • Engineer: Overloads repair tool to fix with enhanced efficiency. 
  • Recon: Call in UAV to a marked position for passive spotting of enemies.

The active ability of your class is visible at the bottom left of your screen with a square box icon. Once you see the box filled, you can activate it by pressing L1+R1 on PS5, LB+RB on Xbox, and 6 on PC. Make sure to use your active abilities to get the added advantage for your squad.

Waiting for Revives

As you get downed in Battlefield 6, wait before you choose skip to respawn. At the bottom middle of your screen, you can see the six closest players with the ability to revive you. If there are players near you, opt for the request revive feature instead of the skip option to wait for a revive. Waiting for a revive in modes like Conquest and Breakthrough can easily turn the tide for your team, rather than if you press skip to respawn, which automatically puts you in a respawn timer, delaying your arrival in the combat zone.

Sniper Glint

Understanding how the Sniper Glint works in Battlefield 6 is crucial for staying alive in large-scale game modes. Usually, the sniper glint looks like a flashlight being used from a long range. If the glint is a white light, that means you'll get downed with two shots or a headshot from the sniper rifle. However, if the glint has a rainbow flare, it suggests that the sniper rifle is in its one-shot sweet spot. In that range, you'll die from a single shot of the sniper rifle. So, make sure to keep your distance from recon class opponents to stay alive for longer periods in Battlefield 6.

Vehicle Combat

Vehicle combat is essentially a major match-determining factor in Battlefield 6. A good tank driver or a good jet or chopper pilot can easily make your time in Battlefield 6 much more miserable or enjoyable, depending on the side they are on. If you're using the tanks and you run out of ammo, then simply head to the supply stations positioned near all objective sites and in your HQ; your tank will get resupplied with ammo and consecutively get repaired to full health.

For aerial combat, jets and choppers will be the only options you see on most maps. If you're using jets or choppers, use elevated terrains to your advantage. If you get a lock-on prompt, then simply use the elevated terrains like hilltops to break the line of sight of surface-to-air launchers. On the other hand, if the enemy jet or chopper is chasing you, take them to your spawn; the spawn or HQ for your team has an AI-controlled aerial defence system that will easily scare off the in-pursuit enemy aerial vehicle.

Now let's talk about the counters to all combat vehicles. Simply pick the Engineer class if your enemies are relying on ground or aerial combat vehicles, and keep spamming them with your RPG or the AWM missile. The constant pestering from the launchers will keep them on their toes, distracting or stopping them from helping their team at the forefront.

While getting good at Battlefield 6 requires constant practice and understanding core game mechanics, these essential tips and tricks can help you get a lot better from the get-go.
