Support, Assault, and Recon classes work together to win matches, some Engineer fans have been caught using their time becoming in-game artists instead of capturing objectives.

The days following the launch of EA and Battlefield Studios’ long-awaited sixth numbered entry in the franchise have seen players coming together to share cinematic action movie-like moments they’ve experienced. As jets soar overhead and tanks roll through buildings, it’s the Engineer class that has found perhaps the most creative use of their gadgets.

The repair tool has been used to leave drawings for friendly and enemy squads for years, but Battlefield 6 has presented an opportunity for players to revisit the time-honored tradition. The Engineer gadget, which is supposed to be used to repair — or even damage — tanks, helicopters, and other armored vehicles, leaves behind burn marks wherever it’s pointed. In the hands of the right Engineer, the gadget makes for a handy pen for drawing, and Battlefield 6 players aren’t letting that go to waste.

Those on the way to capture or hold an objective may notice drawings from those who have found a more artistic way to enjoy Battlefield 6. These range from simple illustrations, such as the iconic “Cool S” or a smiley face, to time-consuming recreations of characters like digital pop star Hatsune Miku and Dragon Ball Z’s Vegeta.

Are detailed pictures easy to draw? No. Do time-consuming drawings keep Engineers from helping out their team? Probably, but that doesn’t mean others can’t enjoy them, too. Some players are even using the Engineer repair tool’s drawing ability to find new ways to play Battlefield 6 — including striking up a match of tic-tac-toe.

Funnily enough, though, the artist behind the Vegeta drawing says not every Battlefield 6 player is looking for an easy kill.

"What was really cool is that an enemy saw me drawing and decided to let me be," they

While Engineers leave silly drawings for other Battlefield 6 players, some have instead started leaving messages for other classes. Support players have even
