How Battlefield 2042 Is Returning to Its Classic Class System in Update 3.2

ign.com:

The Class System is back in Battlefield after Battlefield 2042 launched without the classic system in place. With Battlefield’s 3.2 update launching next week, the 2042 Specialists will be organized into four classes and the equipment they’re able to use are being redistributed and adjusted.

Battlefield’s four returning classes are Assault, Recon, Support, and Engineer. Unlikeat launch where you could play any Specialist and use any equipment you liked, the classes will now assign you gear to use in these specific classes. You can still use any weapon you like but each class has a different proficiency in weapon types.

Assault

Engineer

Support

Recon

Each specialist still has their own unique abilities like Engineer Crawford having the Specialist Gadget Mounted Vulcan and his Specialist Trait Critical Repair and Assault Sundance having her Specialist Gadget Smart Explosives and her Specialist Trait Wingsuit.

It’ll be a bit interesting to see the class system come back after its absence from Battlefield 2042 was a huge point of criticism for a long time. That was one of my biggest issues preventing me from truly enjoying the game when it launched and after even with the updates. There will be balancing changes as this system rolls out but this Class System is in place for the future with new class gadgets coming in the next seasons.

Along with the Class System implementation, there’s been a rework to the map Breakaway with better cover between flags, some points of interest adjustments in location, and an overall visual update. This major update will drop next week so make sure your game is updated!
