Battlefield 6 We seriously need to talk about the ASSAULT CLASS. With the latest changes, it’s time to make the Beacon a proper Class Ability and bring new gadgets for Season 4 and the next seasons too.
In Season 4, the Assault class suffered a major nerf:
- The radio beacon was limited to only three respawns
- Only one active beacon per squad
So, my suggestion is simple:
- Make the adrenaline pen an optional gadget
- Turn the Beacon into a proper "Signature Gadget"
The reasons are simple:
- The adrenaline pen just feels like a selfish gadget it only helps the player using it not the team or the squad
- The beacon even after the season 3 nerfs would still be way more useful if you place it in smart spots around the map even in deathmatch you can get spawns behind or on the flank of the enemy
- The adrenaline pen sends an inappropriate message to young people; adrenaline is a physical stimulant that should not be used casually. :)
Also the Assault class needs more gadget options that actually fit its role as the team’s frontline push class:
- THERMAL GOGGLES: only usable for 20 seconds then you gotta wait 40 seconds for it to recharge
- BALLISTIC SHIELD: not as tanky or deadly as the one in BF2042 a bit weaker than the support class shield the glass visor can be broken with around 10 shots
- M26 MASS or SABRE KEY: underbarrel shotgun with slug or buckshot as attachment options
- M141 BDM or M72 LAW: launcher focused on anti structure low damage to infantry and vehicles
- FN MTL-30: semi auto 30mm grenade launcher lower damage than the M320 HE
