The Assault class is one the most flexible classes inBattlefield 4.

The diversity of assault rifles allows the Assault class for further specialization in very specific battle tasks.

The Assault class may therefore perform as well in offence as in defense.

Even in dire situations, this may very well change the outcome of the battle.

This will allow you to eliminate long-range targets and dominate the battlefield at short range.

Experienced veterans may of course differ, but the exception usually proves the rule.

PC

Contrary toBattlefield 3, the new installment allows for a free configuration of Gadget 1 and Gadget 2 slots.

See below for the descriptions.

Drop the medkit to the ground (max.

PC

two at a time) and everyone who picks it up will start regenerating health at aprox.

To heal a wounded teammate more efficiently, throw the medkit directly at the target.

Due to its light weight, it can be thrown over a much greater distance.

PC

The medkit affects only a single target and the effects of more than one medkit don’t accumulate.

MEDIC BAG

The medic bag is large, heavy and stationary.

Once deployed, it cannot be moved and will stay in one place until it disappears.

PC

The medic receives max.

100 points for each fully healed teammate.

This is to prevent the quick acquisition of experience by deploying several medic bags in strategic spots at once.

PC

DEFIBRILLATOR

The defibrillator returns to the battlefield in a somewhat changed capacity.

For many reasons, this is not a recommended way to do things.

Naturally, the less you charge, the less HP you heal and the less points you receive.

PlayStation

A reasonable medic should always be wary of where and when to start defibrillating.

The defibrillator can be also used to take life from enemies.

In many cases, it’s even more effective than the knife (being much quicker and quieter).

Xbox

When used in the offensive, the charging time if shortened by half.

After using the defibrillator three times, the power source will need time to re-charge the paddles.

M26 MASS (UNDERSLUNG) SHOTGUN

Another gadget in the Assault class' arsenal is the M26 underslung shotgun.

Battlefield 4

Firing is also quite loud, which should be helpful when flanking enemies.

They’re ideal against tight-knit groups of enemies and for destroying vehicles (even tanks).

With a frag grenade, you might bring down a whole building.

Smoke and flash grenades are ideal for tactical support.

you’re free to also cover your teammates as they retreat from dangerous locations.

It won’t perform well to clear rooms with it, but a close range shot guarantees a kill.

The last pop in of ammo is the LVG.

I recommend training with the M320 on immobile targets.

Each field upgrade has level 1 by default.

To increase the level, cooperate with your team members!

Each field upgrade cumulates with the previous one.

When the whole team is eliminated, the level of the field upgrade drops by one.

DEFENSIVE

Available at the beginning of the game regardless of the class.

Ideal for players who prefer being under heavy fire in the “hottest” battle zones.

SHADOW

Available at the beginning of the game regardless of the class.

Best used in theConquestandRushgame modes.

OFFENSIVE

The first unlockable field upgrade for each class.

COMBAT MEDIC

Combat Medic is the optimal upgrade for players who specialize in healing teammates.

Invaluable to all Assault class players who love destroying enemy vehicles and eliminating whole groups at one go.

To level up in your class, use the available gadgets to their full potential.

Any damage cancels the heal.
