Battlefield 2042 Specialists – every class and character announced for the game

Who will you play as?

Battlefield 2042 is doing away with the standard class system of previous titles, bringing in Specialists instead. While specialist are all suited to specific roles, their loadouts have a lot freedom that will allow players to build to suit their own play-style.

All Specialists will have their own gadget and trait that is only used by that Specialist, and the game will launch with 10 Specialists in total. The different Specialists will largely fall into groups of support, assault, engineers, and recons which will all be very familiar to series veterans. They can use any primary weapons, secondary weapon, and grenades that they wish, and none of the primary weapons will be locked to a specific type of Specialist.
