Battlefield 6 Is Already Making A Big Change To The Assault Class

Battlefield 6 is making a significant change to the Assault class by modifying the Weapon Sling gadget. Previously, Assault players could equip any two primary weapons, allowing for versatile loadouts. However, Battlefield Studios has announced that the Weapon Sling will now only allow for Carbines, DMRs, and Shotguns, limiting the class's weapon choices. The decision was made to preserve the "class identity" and prevent the Assault class from intruding upon the roles of other classes. The change is part of Battlefield Labs, where the developers are testing various gameplay adjustments based on player feedback. Additionally, the upcoming Battlefield 6 open beta will feature playlists with both class-restricted and non-restricted weapon setups, allowing players to provide further feedback. Battlefield 6 is set to launch on October 10 for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC, while skipping the previous-generation Xbox One and PlayStation 4 consoles.
