Assault is the frontline attacking class in Battlefield 6, built around assault rifles, fast movement and surviving the drop into a fight. Its signature trait is Soft Landing, which reduces fall damage and removes the movement penalty after a fall, and its signature gadget is the Adrenaline Injector.

Assault is the class for the player who goes first. Battlefield 6 returned to the four classic classes after Battlefield 2042’s Specialists, and Assault is the straightforward one: take the objective, clear the building, push the next one. Its bonuses are all about tempo. The assault rifle draws and switches faster and recovers from a sprint sooner, so the Assault player is ready to shoot a fraction of a second before anyone else. Soft Landing means dropping from a rooftop or a terrace is a tactic rather than a mistake, and the Adrenaline Injector makes the dash across open ground survivable.

Because Battlefield 6 uses open weapons, any class can carry an assault rifle. What the class gives is the handling bonus, the trait and the gadget, not exclusive access.

## [Link to section: How it plays](#p-1903371-how-it-plays-2)How it plays

Assault is the best class for a solo player and the worst for a squad that needs a specialist. It has no repair, no revive bonus, no resupply and no spotting bonus; it has speed. On infantry maps such as Empire State and Saints Quarter it is the natural pick. On vehicle maps it still works when attached to a squad that brings an Engineer and a Support.

The article that documented the class at launch noted that carrying two primary weapons is one of the class’s valuable options; whether that remains the case after balance patches is worth checking in the Changes table.
