Battlefield 6 has four different classes on offer, and you can customize them further with specs once you level up your account. All four classes can be top choices if you spend the time to master their strengths and weaknesses. However, there's a competitive meta inside the game, and some classes will perform better, especially when you divide them based on their specs. This guide will help you understand which classes are well-suited in the current meta of Battlefield 6. Table of contentsComplete Battlefield 6 class tier listS-tier classA-tier classB-tier classComplete Battlefield 6 class tier list The effectiveness of any class in Battlefield 6 depends heavily on your playstyle. You can pick an unpopular class and rock with them if you understand the basics well. I have used three tiers to separate the classes and their specs. S-tier specs work well in every game mode and are also relatively beginner-friendly.A-tier specs are very close to S-tier options, but they have slight weaknesses.B-tier specs are average options unless you spend time to learn and overcoming their weaknesses. Screenshot by Destructoid S-tier classFrontliner (Assault): The Assault class is in a powerful position with the introduction of CBQ, and Frontliner is significantly better than Breacher. Its active ability, Rally Squad, injects all nearby squad members with a temporary Adrenaline that's amazing in close-quarters battles. Quick Recovery allows you to heal faster and better, while Adrenaline Rush will enable you to spread the effects of your Adrenaline Injector to your teammates. Pair with a good Support, and a good Frontliner can get you a high number of kills consistently.Anti-Armor (Engineer): If you're playing any mode outside of CBQ, having Anti-Armor on your team is essential. Any damage you do to vehicles (of every kind) will reduce their repair effectiveness by 50% for 10 seconds. You get to enjoy 15% faster reload speeds on the launcher and get extra rockets. Without Anti-Armor, it's impossible to take down enemy vehicles and tanks, which can be a one-way ticket to defeat.Combat Medic (Support): Playing a well-coordinated team with your friends requires a Combat Medic in every mode. You can use your Defib gadget to instant-revive allies when they're down. Doing so automatically heals you, which is a bonus. Your normal heals also happen significantly faster, and the class also makes it quicker for you to drag downed allies. The Combat Medic might not be a flashy spec, but it's necessary for every map and for every team. Otherwise, you'll be losing a lot of time dying and respawning on the map.A-tier classSniper (Recon): The only reason for Sniper to be in A-tier is due to the difficulty in learning the advanced concepts of the class. Once you learn them, the Sniper is easily S-tier. If you headshot an enemy, they can't be revived. When you hit an enemy, it marks their position on the map, while the spec also offers Auto-Spotting over a longer distance. You can hit your enemies harder, better, and announce their position to your team. However, you'll have to ace the art of shooting, as a misfire could prove to be costly.Combat Engineer (Engineer): Almost the antithesis of Anti-Armor, Combat Engineers allow you to preserve your vehicles better. Vehicle Regeneration is a fun ability that allows you to repair a vehicle by just sitting in it. Overheat Control allows your tanks and vehicles to fire longer, while repairing friendly gadgets makes them last longer with higher HP. A note: While Anti-Armor feels more powerful, Combat Engineer is a safer and more stable choice.Fire Support (Support): It took me a couple of rounds to understand how underrated the Fire Support specialization feels. On paper, the class might look useless. However, the reality is quite different, as you can strap an LMG, mount yourself, and keep firing at the enemy to suppress the opposition frontline. You also get quicker ammo resupplies (applies to your teammates) and less incoming damage from explosions. If you want to play it safe and be a good team player, Fire Support is a fun choice.B-tier classBreacher (Assault): The Breacher isn't bad, especially on maps where the strategic entry points are few and far between. However, the abilities compared to Frontliner's are inferior. Agile Shooter works well in run-and-gun situations, but you might not always rely on that. Extra Grenades is a pretty insignificant modifier, while Unrelenting Reload's 15% faster reload for Incendiary-based Shotguns and projectile launchers is situational in use.Spec Ops (Recon): Like Breacher, Spec Ops falls flat due to its abilities. Low Profile only works if you're proning all the time (which isn't possible in every situation). Spotting enemy gadgets near you can be helpful and allow you to prevent stepping on a mine, but the use-case scenario is niche. I didn't find too much use of Stealth Tactics either, so the Spec Ops specialization could do with a buff or two. Like our content?

Battlefield 6 has a pretty elaborate progression system that spans across 50 levels and beyond. Represented by Career Ranks, every player begins their journey from Rank 1. They progress by gaining XP, and every step has unique unlocks. This includes cosmetics, weapons, loadouts, and more. Having a fair idea of what you unlock at every milestone will be immensely helpful.

Battlefield 6 boss Vince Zampella has criticized the EA App for its launch-day fiasco, which prevented a significant number of people who pre-ordered the game from playing it as soon as it was released. The executive went as far as to advise some fans to purchase Battlefield 6 on Steam, even if they first have to refund it via the EA App. View the full article

Baldur's Gate 3features a healthy dose of medieval inspiration, and a new mod is leaning into that aspect. While you can play a knight and go on heroic quests in Baldur's Gate 3, the setting of Faerûn isn't much like the Arthurian legend. It scratches more of a Renaissance itch overall, and even then, its high fantasy nature bears only some resemblance to the classical myths of human history. View the full article

I love stories where cute critters must overcome dire situations. That might sound sadistic on paper, but that's essentially the backbone of many classic fairy tales. As adorable as Redwall can be, it's no stranger to serious stories. Outcast of Redwall explores themes of complex redemption and moral good in one of the darker tales in the series. So it's no surprise that new tabletop RPG Dark Forest looks right at home with those types of stories. Read the rest of the story...

The Support class can be one of the best choices for beginners in Battlefield 6, and you can make the most of it with a good loadout. Compared to the other classes in the game, the Support is trickier to master. Your main priority is to help your teammates and allow them to survive for a longer time. This guide will help you get the best loadout for the class and win more games to ease your grind. Best Support loadout in Battlefield 6CategoryChoicePrimary weaponKTS100 Mk8Secondary weaponP18Gadget 1DefibrilatorGadget 2Grenade Intercept systemThrowableSmoke GrenadeField SpecializationCombat Medic Unlike Assault, you don't need to unlock the best specialization for Support, as it comes unlocked by default. Your key ability is Restock Allies, which allows you to resupply and heal nearby allies for 10 seconds. You also take only 1.7 seconds to revive nearby teammates. Screenshot by Destructoid On one hand, you can reduce the chances of your allies dying on the field, and also revive them faster than other classes. Defense-Focused makes defensive gadgets have a +25% resupply rate, and GPDIS intercepts two more projectiles. These buffs benefit your Gadgets directly. Additionally, you can also heal yourself by reviving allies, and the effect continues as long as you don't get hit. You can also use Urgent Aid to drag downed soldiers 20% faster, and revive them 2.5 seconds quicker. Your primary aim is to help your Assault with the heals, and use the Smoke Grenade to confuse. As a primary weapon, any LMG works well with the Combat Medic spec. However, try to unlock the KTS100 Mk8 as quickly as possible since the gun provides good reload speed, a healthy dose of damage, and steady aiming. If you're a beginner, getting your hands on this gun will take some time, but it's well worth the effort. Screenshot by Destructoid As a support, you'll almost always want to have the Defibrillator in your hands, as it will quickly revive your fallen teammate. Just tab the Defib near an ally, and it will instantly revive your fallen teammates. The gadget can also damage enemies (honestly, don't try that). For Gadget 2, the Grenade Intercept System is my go-to choice, but you can also opt for the Missile Intercept System if you're getting targeted by long-range options. Getting stuck by grenades is far more common in my experience, so I have chosen it in my preferred loadout. Like our content?

Looking for new Anime Chefs codes? Just in time for the re-release, codes are the best way to grab new characters to pad out your kitchen and upgrade their culinary talents. New Anime Chefs game codes can also award free currencies, dishes, and other ways to help you tackle an influx of orders, so it's suggested to keep some in cold storage for your next kitchen nightmare. Anime Chefs is a Roblox homage to the Overcooked series of co-op cooking titles. Work together (or alone) to quickly piece together ordered meals to satisfy the seemingly never-ending demand for dishes. Looking for a more passive take on a Roblox kitchen experience?

Battlefield 6 is finally here, and you know what that means: you can now camp to your heart's content, clicking heads no matter what's happening to your objectives. Ignoring the fact that you're actively losing the game means nothing, even if professionals have standards. The only standard you're following is the one keeping you at the top of the scoreboard (in no other category but the K/D ratio, of course). So, if you're one of many playing as a Sniper Recon in Battlefield 6, this is the loadout guide for you. Most optimal Recon loadout in Battlefield 6CategoryChoicePrimary M2010 ESRSidearmM45A1Gadget OneC4 ExplosivesGadget TwoAP MineThrowableFrag Grenade or Proximity DetectorTraining PathSniper The beauty of the Recon class is that it starts with its best weapon, the M2010 ESR. Whether you want to go for one of its many presets unlocked by playing and killing enemies, or to customize it yourself, the gun remains the top priority for the Recon. It's fast, easy to use, and hits super hard, giving one-shot kills to the chest or head consistently. It has a wide array of attachments you can use to make it fit your playstyle, which can be either mid-range quick scoping or hard-scoping from distance. As for the gadgets, it wouldn't be Recon without C4 Explosives, which you can tack onto enemy vehicles in the absence of a good Engineer, or put on your own expendable crew's jeep and send them to their (and the enemy's) demise. To help protect you and your immediate surroundings, the Anti-personnel Mine (Claymore) is the perfect choice, and you can plant them at door entrances or other choke points and prevent enemies from sneaking up from behind. A Proximity Detector can also help spot enemies that are nearby, though I prefer the Frag Grenade for its anti-personnel utility much more. Of course, you'll want the Sniper Training Path selected, as it gives you a host of bonuses for, as the name implies, sniping, which is probably the most common thing you'll be doing as a Recon. With the loadout above, you should be able to maximize your output. Just make sure to aim well and take your time with each shot. Like our content?

Ideally, I would have wanted to go for Semenyo, and you can, if you have a Premier League-based squad. The Frenchman has three different positions, good Shooting (85), Pace (87), and 5* Weak Foot. However, he offers 3* Skills, which is really poor. Bakayoko might have less Shooting (82) and just two positions, but he has 4* Skills. Having 3* Weak Foot isn't a big problem at the current stage of the game. More importantly, he has Inside Forward++ in RM, which is an excellent option in the meta. Either card is excellent, but you should opt for Bakayoko if both of them can fit well with your squad. Like our content?

Polite society buried a lot of platformer mascots as we exited the 90s, but something Bubsy had over contemporaries like Gex and Croc (it's a crock of something, alright!) is that his games were astoundingly, memorably dreadful. Bubsy is the best evidence we have that all publicity is good publicity, because he's still getting games in big 2025, which is something we can't say for competent has-beens like Dynamite Headdy...

When I think of RPG remakes, I tend to think of recent ventures. Remakes and remasters are more popular than ever, and hits like Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, Oblivion Remastered, and Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake are just a few of the many that have made waves in the past couple of years. RPG remakes are nothing new, however, and one of the most interesting examples is now celebrating its 20th anniversary. View the full article

The Recon class is one of spotting and sniping, and the Range Finder is a fantastic tool that helps you gauge the distance between yourself and the enemy. This, in turn, allows aim correction and more efficient long-range sniping. But the game never explains how to use the Range Finder, only offering it as an attachment. So, here's everything you need to know. How to use Range Finder in BF6 The Range Finder is an excellent tool, but the game never tells you how to use it. Screenshot by Destructoid After you've attached the Range Finder to your weapon, you can use it by holding down B on PC or the Down Arrow on Console. You first need to point your scope at someone or something, and the Range Finder will automatically adjust your zeroing to the appropriate distance. The game never explicitly states how this functions, so I hope you're now up and ready to snipe people no matter how far they are on the map. How to spot enemies in BF6 The Recon class has numerous tools to spot enemies more efficiently and frequently. Screenshot by Destructoid If you're playing Recon and using the Range Finder, odds are you're also trying to spot as many enemies as possible, near and far, to help your team stay alert to incoming hostiles. To spot in BF6, you need to aim down sights towards the enemy, then press Q on PC, LB on Xbox, and L1 on PlayStation. This is only applicable to enemies you have a line of sight on, and will not appear to allies through walls like they did in BF1. Recons can spot enemies automatically by aiming down sights at them, and do not need to press any buttons. Simply looking at the enemy with sights down is enough. With the Sniper Training Path, you'll also eventually gain another ability, which spots any enemy you've dealt damage to, further improving your spotting efficiency. The Recon also has several tools to use for more spots, including the Recon Drone, the Motion Sensor, and the Proximity Detector, each able to spot enemies at a distance or nearby, depending on the gadget. Spots usually last only a few seconds and cannot be spammed on most classes, but you can still double-tap the relevant button to place a red marker on the map that your allies can see and be aware of.

With Battlefield 6 out, we can finally enjoy all of its revived classes in their full glory, utilizing all they have at their disposal, rather than their somewhat limited counterparts from the beta. The Engineer is one of the most crucial members of any squad, with the devastating capacity to take down entire buildings, blow up enemy vehicles, and all around be a nuisance to the opposing side. It's an amazing class with lots of weapon and gadget choices, so here's our most optimized loadout for the Engineer. Optimal loadout for the Engineer in Battlefield 6 The Engineer is a supportive class, meant to provide utility to its team, whether by disabling enemy vehicles like tanks, choppers, and jets, or destroying buildings and planting mines. Its signature weapon class is the SMGs, though open weapon queues can and will allow you to take any gun you want. For the sake of this guide, we'll be sticking to SMGs, as that also seems to be what the Engineer works best with, what with the extra mobility and speed. Here's what your loadout should generally be with the Engineer: CategoryChoicePrimary PW5A3 (MP5)SidearmM45A1Gadget OneMAS 148 or RPG-7V2Gadget TwoAV Mine ThrowableFrag Grenade Training PathAnti-Armor The Engineer is a devastating one-man army, with more than a few tools at its disposal to blow everything sky-high. In general, you should prioritize assaulting vehicles, disrupting enemy gadgets with explosives and rockets, and destroying buildings where hostiles have set up shop. If you're going to focus more on anti-armor play, then taking the RPG-7V2 will prove more beneficial, while ******* maps with more helicopters can be a good playground for the lock-on-bases MAS 148. The MP5 (PW5A3) will help you with close-range engagements, as the Engineer will almost always be up close and personal with the enemy, meaning any other category outside SMGs is detrimental to his mobility. Being nimble, light on your feet, and moving from place to place to mine it or blow it up is the name of the game here, hence the choice of weaponry. When applying attachments to the SMG, prioritize those that grant more control and precision, such as Vertical Grips. I also advise sticking to AV Mines and removing the AV Grenades from your loadout, replacing the latter with regular Frag, since you'll be able to wreck vehicles with the rest of your arsenal anyways. Frag Grenades will give you more anti-infantry potential, helping with situations that don't involve Tank Busting. Lastly, the Anti-Armor Training Path provides a lot of nice buffs and bonuses that synergize well with this loadout, from extra rockets, faster reloads, and repair bonuses. Like our content?

The Assault class appears to be the most popular choice among Battlefield 6 players (based on my experience with random strangers), and it's very easy to misunderstand what you have to do. The Assault class is simple to learn but extremely hard to master. Like all other classes, there are different ways to build and play with it. Here's how you can make it shine with the best loadout in Battlefield 6. Best Assault loadout in Battlefield 6CategoryChoicePrimaryNVO-228E Assault RifleSiidearmM45A1Gadget OneM87A1Gadget TwoHigh Explosive LauncherThroweableFrag GrenadeField SpecAdrenaline Injector A number of components of this loadout will be locked when you're just getting started in Battlefield 6. Your first task will be to unlock three components—the Frotliner class, the High Explosive Launcher, and the NVO-228E Assault Rifle. Unlocking all three will take a fair amount of time and effort. You should only play with the Assault class and try to complete as many objectives as possible. Screenshot by Destructoid Let's begin with Frontliner. While Breacher is fine for beginners, Frotline is better due to the Quick Recovery ability. As you'll be leading your offense, you're guaranteed to get hit. Quick Recovery allows you to get 50% faster healing at a 50% improved rate. Secondly, Rally Squad grants you and your teammates a temporary Adrenaline effect that gets extended with your kills. Soft Landing and Adrenaline Rush are also advantageous bonuses. Screenshot by Destructoid NVO-228E is the king of current meta, and it's arguably the best assault rifle. While the range isn't the best, its damage is top-notch. It can shred through multiple enemies in one round as long as you can manage the aim. You also get plenty of choices with different attachments to tweak the weaknesses. The Assault class can carry a second primary weapon as one of its gadgets, and I have gone for the M87A1. It's unlocked by default, does a lot of damage in short range, and satisfies all my needs. It's excellent at getting you out of tight or low-ammo situations. While the Thermobaric Launcher is pretty decent at breaching down doors and corners, I have opted for High Explosive instead. The launcher, combined with frag grenades, can often land you some unlikely kills and also provide you with strategic benefits in modes where you can capture locations. Here are key tips to excel with this loadout. While your role is to lead your line, you should also know when to hide from damage.Don't engage against armored and heavy vehicles, as you don't have any countermeasures.Use your launcher to sweep areas or to open a new path to attack for your squad.Try to get a friend who plays well as a support, since the two classes can combine well.

A potential DLC expansion for the 2024 remake of Silent Hill 2 that had been teased earlier in the year may not be coming, at least anytime soon, based on commentary from a voice actor who seems essential to its creation. Many fans have been expecting the Born From a Wish side story to be added to Silent Hill 2 for a few months now, and it seems likely that they're in for disappointing news. View the full article
