For those who share my frustrations in Battlefield 6 when teammates dash past in dire need of a revive, there’s likely a special appreciation for the Support Class troops. These unsung heroes bravely navigate through chaos, offering revives and essential supplies when the situation is most critical.
The Support Class consistently ranks high in match performance across various game modes, showcasing that their value transcends mere kill/death ratios. They exemplify the core principles of teamwork that defines the Battlefield experience.
Having dedicated significant hours to this class, I’m excited to share my preferred loadouts that have proven effective for keeping teammates alive and well-equipped.
Understanding Role Expectations
In Battlefield 6, the Support Class combines elements from previous titles, merging roles of the medic and machine gunner. This blend places the responsibility of both sustaining your team and delivering substantial fire support squarely on your shoulders. This dual role can be both challenging and rewarding.
Fortunately, you’re not alone in providing support. The presence of other support players allows you to experiment with various specializations. With the aggressive nature of the Assault Class, you can focus more on being the reliable savior and supply line for your squad.
Top Support Class Loadouts in Battlefield 6
Here’s a rundown of the Support Class kits that I find most effective. While not every loadout suits every map or playing style, they excel for team-oriented players prioritizing the revival of downed allies over accumulating kills.
Although your primary weapon choice is impactful, some loadouts perform significantly better when matched with specific firearms, and I’ll highlight these pairings.

This is the default loadout for the Support Class, and for good reason. It offers the most effective way to function as a combat medic in the game. The strategy is simple: advance, deploy cover, and provide suppressive fire while reviving fallen comrades. If your team takes heavy fire, you can return fire and throw smoke grenades to aid in retrieval.
You can also partner with snipers or machine gunners to create strongpoints, transforming ordinary structures into fortified positions for your teammates. With the right equipment, you can revive allies safely from behind cover you’ve created.
I prefer using the DRS-IAR (HK416/M27) or the RPKM in this loadout, particularly in urban environments where maneuverability is crucial.

One of the most challenging roles in Battlefield 6 is breaking a stalemate, particularly when you’re on the attacking side in Breakthrough mode. Your mission here is to maintain a strong positional advantage and support your team with a relentless barrage of both bullets and smoke.
Establish your position in a strategic location, deploy an ammo bag, and consistently provide cover fire and smoke, enabling your squad to advance safely. This approach, while static, proves to be highly effective at gaining ground.
A large-capacity LMG is ideal, allowing you to sustain fire while remaining shielded. Once your team captures the point, you can reposition to the next target.

On larger maps, two underappreciated support weapons shine: the M/60 general-purpose machine gun and the compact mortar system.
While the M/60 may be heavier and slower to fire than its counterparts, it compensates with superior range and a higher damage output, making it formidable when mounted. Although maneuverability is limited, the weapon delivers impressive power.
The mortar system, though less effective with smoke shells, can unleash destruction on enemy forces when using high-explosive rounds, especially with good reconnaissance to mark targets. Those who’ve faced a mortar barrage while trying to advance will understand the havoc it can wreak.
Utilizing both weapons effectively will surely draw the enemy’s ire, necessitating the strategic use of smoke grenades for quick escape when under fire.

Leveraging the airburst flamethrower is a delight, especially after the effort to unlock it. The G1 projectiles are most effective when used up close, encouraging an aggressive playstyle.
To maximize this weapon’s potential, play aggressively while carrying a defibrillator to assist your comrades. While this setup may be less applicable in open maps, it thrives in urban combat, especially when paired with a versatile carbine like the DRS-IAR.
Although technically an assault weapon, the SICH G1 also excels defensively, enabling you to create devastating chokepoints under cover conditions.
