The Assault class in Battlefield 6 is getting a new signature gadget to open up some new opportunities both for new angles on enemies and for some potential shenanigans.
Previously, the signature gadget available to the Assault class in the Battlefield 6 beta was the Combat Stim, which increases the player’s speed and resistance to debilitating weapons like thermobaric and flash grenades.
Now, though, DICE and EA have shown off a new option available to the class, and one that has much more utility for the rest of the player’s squad: a humble ladder.
We’ve known about it for a while, but if you haven’t seen it yet, the Assault Ladder can be used, as you might expect, as a way to get access to new areas and points of entry for buildings, but recently, thanks to a new video, players have been thinking about some more unorthodox uses for it.
A Bit More Than Just A Ladder
When placed mostly vertically, the Assault Ladder will work as you’d probably expect it to. You can use it to get to new areas, but anyone using it is relatively vulnerable and cannot use a weapon until they reach the top.
