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?

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?

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.
