An Expert Battlefield RedSec Class Guide

What classes can you play in RedSec?

At the start of this Battlefield RedSec Class Guide, I should say that generally we're seeing 4 different classes in RedSec: Assault, Engineer, Support, and Recon. But what sets these classes apart is the abilities and gear each one gives you, which comes down to three main parts:

• Gadgets—the main tool for each class, like a ladder or a supply bag.
• Passive abilities called Trait, which differ for each class.
• The class's specialized weapons, which let you earn points for that class.

The Assault class in RedSec

The most aggressive class in the game is Assault. This class has a ladder as its special tool, which can really help with climbing buildings to find new paths. The only problem is that a lot of the game environment is open and rocky, so this tool doesn't come in handy much in those places. Its other tool is the High Explosive Launcher, which is great for engaging enemies and pushing them back.

As for the Assault class's abilities, let me start with its special weapon. Assault Rifles are totally made for this class—after sprinting, it pulls the weapon out faster and shoots faster. The Mission Focus ability also helps things like Arming and Disarming bombs or capturing Respawn Towers get done faster. But the most important Passive for this class is its plating, which is done 33% faster than other classes.

Note: If you're an aggressive player, this class might suit you. But in my opinion, it's not among the best classes in RedSec.

The Engineer class in RedSec

Continuing this Battlefield RedSec Class Guide, let's get to the Engineer class. If you're looking for a vehicle specialist in the game, you gotta go Engineer. Its Repair Tool, which works like a welding torch, can both repair friendly vehicles and damage enemy ones. Anti-armor Launchers are also a great tool for dealing with enemy vehicles, and you can even upgrade it to a guided missile launcher.

One of this class's abilities is that when you're in a friendly vehicle and it gets attacked, it takes less damage and the enemy can't take it over. At level two, it makes enemy gear take longer to repair, and some of your hits temporarily stop the target. If you're into tanks and helicopters, I recommend this class.

Note: Every team should have an Engineer so you can both use all kinds of vehicles and defend against them.

The Support class in RedSec

In my opinion, the best class you can pick in the game is Support. Its most important tool is the Supply Bag, which lets you grab ammo, and with the Smoke Grenade Launcher you can create smoke as cover to escape or help your teammates. Don't stop using that smoke—it's super useful.

This class's special weapons are LMG and SMG. You can carry more Armor and provide plates for yourself and your teammates. You can also drag downed teammates faster and your Revive time is shorter. Your level 3 Passive boosts both the amount of Smoke and the Revive speed of all classes.

Note: In my opinion, the Support class is the best in Battlefield RedSec because you can use its help in any situation. Out of ammo? No cover? Someone's wounded? Doesn't matter—a Support can always help.

The Recon class in RedSec

If sniping and sharp shooting are your thing, Recon could be a good choice for you. You can use various tools to track enemy positions. The Motion Sensor shows enemies and enemy gear near you, and with the Recon Drone you can find enemy positions—it has thermal vision and can also carry explosives.

This class's main weapon is the Sniper, which is more stable in this class's hands, with less sway and better breath control when aiming. When you look at an enemy, it automatically marks their position for the rest of the squad. The Recon class in RedSec also has useful Passives, like dropping bombs via Tracking Pulse, explosive Drones, or using decoys to trick enemies.

The best combination according to the Battlefield RedSec Class Guide

Based on the strengths and weaknesses of all classes I covered in this Battlefield RedSec Class Guide, in my opinion every team should have Support and Recon in their lineup, and after that, an Engineer can really help the team. If your team is three players, one Support, one Recon, and one Engineer is great. If it's four players, go with 2 Support, one Recon, and one Engineer. Compared to the usefulness of these classes, Assault doesn't bring much positive value to the team.

If you're new to the game or unsure which one to pick, I suggest trying Support. Recon is a bit harder and you need some game mastery for it. And if you're into tanks and helicopters in Battlefield, pick Engineer. For more game guides, check out the Battlefield 6 Game Guide.
