Battlefield V Assault Class and Combat Roles: Weapons, Gadgets and Tips

Battlefield V Assault Class

The release of Battlefield V is just around the corner and so it as good a time as any to look into the different classes that the game will offer along with weapons, gadgets, and tips. The famous  Recon, Support, Assault, and Medic classes that are so iconic to the Battlefield franchise will, fortunately, see a return this year.

So let’s start off with the Assualt Class and take a deep look into what this class has to offer.

Battlefield V Assault Class

The Assault class is your go to class if your style of playing is to go all out into battle, kicking doors and engaging enemies in short to medium range. According to Battlefield,

“Choose this Class if you want to lead an attack or clear out dug-in, stubborn enemies in the nooks and crannies of an area. Although lacking the outright stopping power of a sniper rifle or suppression of an LMG or MMG, good positioning can let you rain down accurate potshots at enemies from a distance and use gadgets to obliterate some vehicles.”

While the assault class can draw a good balance between offense and defense in most circumstances, it is still no match for the excellent firepower and the stopping power of a sniper rifle. So keep that in mind. One way to counter this would be to avoid open spaces and stay near cover.

Weapons and Gadgets

“Assault comes equipped with weapons that have effective hip-fire and respectable range. Their gadgets can weaken or destroy some vehicles, topple Fortifications, and wipe out a nest of enemies with one well-placed sticky dynamite or grenade.”

The system is somewhat similar to early battlefield Games, all weapons are set to a specific class however you can unlock more weapons by playing and progressing through the game.

Combat Roles in Battlefield V

So combat roles are dependent on the class that you choose when playing.

“Pick a Class and Combat Role with a loadout that suits your playstyle but be ready to make a switch at the deploy overview screen to adapt to on the ground situations.”

As per Battlefield V’s website, each class will receive 2 combat rolls at launch one of which will be equipped as default. While the other will be unlocked as you play the game.

“More will release as part of Tides of War, giving players enough time to master each before providing them with additional options to choose from Light Infantry (Default)”

The first of Assault Combat Roles, that is Light Infantry, compensates for the extra bullet holes you might incur in the service of your squad with the ability to regenerate more health.

“This Combat Role is also for the quick draw shooter who doesn’t always have the proximity of a Support player or enough breathing room to stop and smell the supply point. You know the art of the secret ammo stash and can scavenge additional ammo from fallen soldiers.”

Light Infantry Traits:

Tank Buster (Unlockable)

“Keep playing the Assault Class to unlock the Tank Buster. When the enemy team starts deploying tanks mid-match, spawn as the Tank Buster to soften their steel shell and automatically spot them to everyone on your team, so they can help put the tank out of its misery.”

Tips from Core Game Designers

The good people over at Battlefield V have provided tips from game designers so that you have a good understanding of the game and are ready for the release.

Straight from the devs, following are some tips to keep in mind while playing as Assault.

To start, the base Assault Combat Role, Light Infantry, is the perfect entry point for newcomers and veterans alike, thanks to its straightforward traits that aim to give this Combat Role an increased durability and a decreased reliance on assistance from teammates to secure an objective.

Try sprinting between fallen soldiers to collect their dropped ammo – you will always find more than others.

The second Assault Combat Role, Tank Buster, comes equipped with two traits designed to better the odds against vehicles. Simply by damaging a vehicle when playing as the Vehicle Buster, you will spot that vehicle for your entire team. This can make a huge difference for the rest of your team in being able to help take it out – even your friends who are piloting airplanes in the skies above will clearly see the vehicle spotted below for an easier bombing run or strafing run.

Don’t forget to use your mines, dynamite, or rocket launcher to damage a vehicle, too. Even if you don’t manage to destroy it, it is now spotted for your entire team to see.
