19 articlesBattlefield 6 is coming out in a matter of months, and of course, plenty of players are hyped for this release as the previous game has been fairly disappointing from launch up until now. As expected, there will be a class system, since Battlefield has almost always had a version of this over the years. In this guide, we will give you a brief overview of what we know about the classes so far.
Battlefield 6 Class Guide
Before we begin, it is important to note that this is based on the open beta version of the game, and we are unsure of how any of this will look like when the game actually comes out. This version is missing a lot of features that will further expand on the class system, and we do not even know if the current state of the classes will reflect their release counterparts.
Now, there are a total of four different classes in the game, and they are all really straightforward. If you have played a Battlefield game before, then you will be completely familiar with these.
Let us go through a quick list of all four classes and a brief summary of what their main roles are in a match:

Battlefield 6 Players Found a Secret Room in the Shooting Range, Prompting a Handful of TheoriesOct 31, 2025- Assault – These soldiers are your typical frontline fighters who mainly use assault rifles and have a stim that will grant a temporary speed boost and resistance to certain crowd control effects. It can specialize into either frontliner or grenadier, but you can only play as the adrenaline junkie frontliner in the public beta.
- Engineer – Anybody who has played a Battlefield game before knows what these guys are for. They are both great for using and dealing with vehicles, and in the beta, you are going to find a lot of engineers glued to the back of a tank with their repair tools on hand. There is nothing else of note here at the moment.
- Support – The support class excels at providing ammo to teammates, creating temporary cover, and reviving people. At the moment, you can only play as a combat medic in the beta, so you are mostly going to be a medic with a supply bag that practically does it all.
- Recon – Finally, the recon class is, as you would expect, the one that people will pick if they wish to play as a sniper. You can even rack up a lot of points by just spotting enemies and occasionally taking pot shots, which can also highlight enemies.
And those are really all the basics you need to know about each class. A lot can still change once the full game comes out, especially since this is just a preview build that has one training option for each. Also, if you are on Steam or actually trying out the beta, which is free, there is a much more comprehensive list of features for each class in either of these.

Again, we should emphasize that this is only based on the open beta version of the game, which you might not even be able to play by the time you read this, and a lot can still change over the next few months.
