Tweaking a weapon’s performance has been moved over to Specializations – weapon upgrade trees you gradually unravel the more you use that weapon - but more on that below.

You’ll be able to customise your weapon with a multitude of attachments, but save for sights, they won’t offer any gameplay changes – only cosmetic. All of that contributes to a shorter time to kill overall, much closer to Battlefield 3’s. This shouldn’t make sniper rifles overpowered, though, since they have very noticeable drop Recon players will need to account for. Headshot hitboxes are also bigger in Battlefield 5, which should make nailing those headshots a bit easier. Instead, it’s a visual effect that, while annoying, won’t result in you missing shots you clearly shouldn’t. So far, we haven’t found it to affect any of the weapon’s raw stats. Suppression, another controversial Battlefield mechanic, does make a return. Battlefield 1’s dreaded random bullet deviation does not return, so your shot will always hit where you’re aiming, not accounting for bullet drop obviously. Weapons have more recoil than you expect, but their recoil patterns are predictable, meaning you’ll be able to master them with time. To achieve this, DICE made several major changes to weapon handling and general characteristics. You’ll have to readjust your play style according to the new rules.įiring a weapon in Battlefield 5 is going to feel tighter and more responsive than any other Battlefield. This goes for airplanes and tanks, which necessitates having to go back to a supply station – or to base – to resupply.Īttrition systems will probably take the longest to get to grips with, and that’s by design. For vehicles, this means spawning in with limited ammo. But, if you take critical damage when you’re out of healing pouches, you’ll need to retreat to a supply station or find a Medic. If you take small amounts of damage, this won’t be too much of a problem. The rest can only be filled up with a medical pouch. Instead, health regenerates to the closest segment on your HP bar.

Your health will also never regenerate back to full after taking damage.

This can be used any time to go back to full HP, but you’ll need a Medic or a supply station to get another one. It works in a similar way here, and it’s intended to keep squads closer together, not to mention cut down on certain play styles like camping in one spot for the entire round.įor health, every player spawns in with one extra medical pouch. Tactical shooter players, and those familiar with battle royale, will know the feeling all too well.

If you haven’t already guessed, having limited ammo trains you not to take every fight. These stations can also be built in certain locations through the Fortifications system, which we’ll touch on below. Swinging by any of these will top off your ammo and health. But there’s another way supply stations scattered around the map. You’ll be able to scavenge more ammo from fallen enemies and teammates, as well as obviously from Support players. With one already loaded, your reserve will be made up of two to three extra magazines and that’s about it. Your ammo reserve depends on your weapon class, but don’t expect to spawn with anywhere near the number of rounds you had in older Battlefield games. In simple terms, this affects the amount of ammo you start with, and how your health regenerates. For new players, the list serves as an overview of some of the most interesting features in Battlefield 5, many of which are unique to the game.Īttrition is the biggest new system in Battlefield 5, and it touches practically everything you do since the moment you spawn.

Veterans of the series will find a round-up of the biggest and most interesting changes they’ll need to be aware of. Anything worth highlighting will be listed below. We’ve played a lot of Battlefield 5 and came away with a list of the biggest and most important updates. Others, however, will take you a bit of time to wrap your head around. Some of these are immediately noticeable like the reduced reliance on explosives, the lack of visually impressive, but cheap mechanics like Behemoths, Elite Kits etc. DICE made a lot of changes under the surface that are intended to put more emphasis on team play, dictate the pace of the action, and bring back more elements of skill into the moment-to-moment gameplay. Unlike destruction, however, Battlefield 5’s new mechanics are not as flashy or easy to understand. It’s safe to say Battlefield 5 brings the biggest shakeup to core Battlefield mechanics since the introduction of destruction.
