Hello Battlefield V community!

Recon using a Spotting Scope

In Battlefield V, each class has a set of Gadgets that can enhance their effectiveness on the battlefield. From Ammo Pouches to Ammo Crates, Spotting Scopes to the indomitable Panzerfaust, the selection and usage of gadgets can lead to victory or be a factor in the agony of defeat. A proper grenade toss can clear out a house or bounce back and blow up in your face.

Since launch, we've seen various comments and threads regarding specific gadgets, equipment, & grenades - what you like, what you don't, etc. We've also seen requests for more gadgets - across all classes and class specific. Some examples below:

Ammo and medic crates should operate like those in BF1. You also could put a point value on it for opposing snipers who destroy them. Also would be nice for Recon to carry an anti tank grenade as an option.

re: gadgets—what’s missing?

I don’t say this to be snarky, but content.

there’s almost no incentive to switch your gadget when you’ve only got two or three options to pick for each class. once you find something that matches your play style, you might as well forget the gadget selection screen altogether.

And

FISSIONMAILED-

How about that garrote gadget weapon that recon had available for him?

Gadgets:

Limpet for Medic

5-10% Vehicle Ammo resupply for Support

Air Radar beacon for Recon

So here we are. Let's talk about the Gadgets, Equipment, and Grenades currently in the game - what works, what doesn't, what seems superfluous. Let's also talk about gadgets you'd like to see (No laser-designation stuff, nothing post-1945, be realistic).

Keep it constructive, keep it friendly. If you disagree with someone's point, explain why and share a counterpoint.

Let's have a discussion.

I’d love to see the Limpet Mine return to support. It was such a fun and unique gadget. I’d also like smoke grenades to be an item every class can use, and refillable by ammo crates. Just the smoke grenades not the grenades that cause damage.

Assault:

  • Good variety of options.
  • Looking forward to the rumored AA launcher.
  • Frag Grenade Launcher should probably compete with PIAT and 'Faust for slot space.

Medic:

  • The medical crate needs some reason to take it over the pouches.
  • Desperately need some gadget variety here. Less things that explode and more utility.

Support:

  • つ ◕_◕ ༽つ Give limpet. つ ◕_◕ ༽つ
  • I'd like to see a bangalore option, with an emphasis on destroying fortifications.

Recon:

  • Best variety out of all of the classes right now. Build gadget variety like this.
  • It would be nice to buff the sniper decoy up a little bit.
  • This class is crying out for a trip flare gadget.
  • Bring back K Bullets to take advantage of the bullet penetration mechanic, and hinder vehicle repairs.

General notes:

  • Current variety is poor.
  • AP mines are ubiquitous, and it's surprising that they aren't more abused than they are now.
  • Focus on utility and teamwork gear instead of explosives and traps.

When in doubt, Limpet out!
