To play Battlefield (specifically Battlefield 6), here are some key tips and basics to get started:
- Customize your weapons in the firing range first to find what suits your play style.
- Use weapon mounting by pressing the assigned button (e.g., right stick on controller) when near cover to reduce recoil and improve accuracy.
- Use bipods on weapons where available by lying down and mounting the weapon to stabilize shooting on open maps.
- Experiment with different firing modes like full-auto, semi-auto, or burst fire to adapt weapons for various ranges.
- When sniping or engaging at long distances, use the ping feature to mark enemy distance and adjust your weapon's zeroing distance accordingly.
- Stay close to medics who can revive or heal you without needing much effort on your part.
- When reviving teammates, drag them behind cover first to avoid both getting killed while reviving.
- Use the minimap constantly to track enemies and avoid open areas where you are vulnerable.
- Stay close to your squad and coordinate with them, especially in objective-based modes.
- Use tactical movement like landing rolls to reduce fall damage when jumping from heights.
- Take advantage of vehicles carefully; resupply ammo at vehicle resupply stations if available.
Additionally, new players should avoid rushing blindly ("running and gunning"), be patient, plan moves, and focus on protecting objectives as the game outcome often depends on this. These foundational tips cover combat mechanics, team tactics, and general gameplay awareness useful for starting to play Battlefield 6 or similar Battlefield titles effectively.
