Battlefield 6: 10 Best Tips for Beginners

It can be pretty intimidating when you’re a first-timer in the Battlefield universe and find folks who’ve been there since the series began in 2002. So much has changed, of course: new weapons, skills, classes, archetypes, and all of that good stuff. But the fundamental gameplay remains mostly the same. And so, during intense multiplayer battles, you might be humbled by how proficient some players are. 

At times, matchmaking can feel unbalanced, but at least the overall experience is fair. In any case, the Battlefield 6 multiplayer modes are the best part about the game, and certainly an experience you don’t want to miss out on because of skill disparity. And so, to sharpen your skills and adequately prepare you for battle, we’ve compiled Battlefield 6: best tips for beginners below.

10. Play the Objective

I’ll admit, I’ve been guilty of wandering off from my teammates in pursuit of the most kills. But if you’re looking to win and rack up the XP to level up your class and weapons, then you absolutely must play the objective.

And that starts from communicating, no matter how annoying or nervous the voice chat can be. Once you coordinate your roles and game plan, you can then move in on the objectives, capturing, contesting, and defending until the win is yours.

9. Stick to Your Class

How then do you add value to your team? Well, you choose among the four classes in Battlefield 6, and stick to it. Assaults are the frontliners and aggressors, capturing objectives by killing as many enemies as possible. Engineers fix up armor and vehicles with specialized tools, while launching explosives, mines, and rocket launchers at enemy tanks and aircraft.

Supports, meanwhile, replenish your squad’s ammo and gadgets. And Recon units surveil the battlefield, spotting enemies and sniping them. So, every member has a key role to play. 

8. Move Wisely

Battlefield 6 provides lots of ways to move wisely. The landing roll is especially useful to cushion falls from rooftops, through windows, or jumping between buildings. The quick slide is also pretty handy, as is the sliding while aiming. These clever movement options can make all the difference, mitigating damage and shooting while on the move. 

7. Pay Attention to Weapon Choice and Attachments

Weapons come with so much variety, and our best weapons in Battlefield 6 should help you navigate them. Keep in mind that the more you use a weapon, the more powerful it becomes.

But along with picking a powerhouse primary weapon, pistol, gadgets, grenades, and skill, you also want to pay attention to attachments. These can further tweak weapons to your play style, from larger magazines to higher damage and even scopes that zoom in.

6. Study the Maps

Any pro FPS player will tell you how important maps are. In Battlefield 6, you have so much variety in the map designs, offering varying sightlines, verticality, and open spaces. Sightlines are, for instance, great for snipers. Meanwhile, open spaces have limited cover.

If a map is hindering your progress, remember you can always blow up walls, even entire buildings. Some areas of the map are best to avoid where players are crowded or enemies are spawning. But you can always find alternate paths to the objective, getting ready to flank enemies you run into. 

5. Lean on One Another

In addition to sticking to your role, coordinating who shoots down enemy aircraft, destroys tanks, camps somewhere to snipe, and so on, you also want to lean on your teammates when you spot an enemy you can’t neutralize. Simply press Q or L1 to call the enemy out, for a limited time, though, and a teammate will help take them down.   

4. Maximize Tanks

Beginners might shy away from tanks. But they’re pretty important tools for killing large groups of enemies, breaking through their defenses, and clearing out entire zones.

Now, a few tips. Don’t just drive out in the open, or you’ll get destroyed by jets and choppers. Tall buildings can help you with this, shielding you from sustaining damage. Switch to first-person to spot pesky Engineers trying to take you out. On the offense, aim for weak spots of tanks like the top and back sides. 

3. Maximize Flying, Too

Flying jets and choppers isn’t all too easy. But do practice against AI and make your skills perfect. You don’t want to jump straight into combat before you master the basics. And one way you can practice is flying in controlled patterns.

Also, use the third-person view, and try switching the controls so you’re turning using one hand and firing using the other. Meanwhile, you can dodge missiles by flying through valleys. 

2. Sniping Galore

Snipers already know what to do to catch easy prey. Simply camp at a nice tucked-away spot on the map, where you’re hidden inside or on top of a tall building and have a wide sightline of enemies running around in the open areas, begging to get shot.

With the sweet spot mechanic, you can get pretty good upper-body shots when enemies are within the required range. And that’s it: just one proper shot will take down an enemy on the spot. Mastering sniping can be very helpful for your team, especially when holding down an objective. And you can get a bipod, too, for additional stability. 

1. Ping as Much as Possible

The ping functionality is incredibly useful. It identifies where enemies are, the objective’s location, and even your current position for revival. It’s not just the Support class that can revive a downed teammate. So, anytime you’re in the vicinity of a teammate who needs help, do revive them.

But you might find them in the thick of it, and that’s where the dragging feature comes in. Do drag fallen teammates out of the warzone, and then revive them. Remember, you might need your teammates’ help down the road. Plus, what’s the harm in having more teammates actively in battle?
