5 Tips for Beginners and Advanced Players in BF6
ADS, hipfire, minimap, mines, spotting, and vehicle tips for BF6.
Hey fellow squad mates,
Here are five great and extremely helpful Battlefield 6 tips. Some players know them, but many forget them in the middle of a fight, so they might help you in your next matches.
This is my personal tip for PC players: I use the Logitech G715 for BF6 and it is easily the best keyboard I have ever used for shooters. I am going to write a review about it soon!
1. Aiming Down Sights at Close Range
Many players think close range is hipfire 80–90% of the time, but that is not true.
ADS can be extremely strong up close when you use it at the right moment.
Your bullets stay more precise overall, and you often win more 1v1 fights because of that.
This does not mean you should walk around with your scope up all the time. It depends on the gun, the setup you run, and other factors, of course. But for now, just try hipfire a bit more in close-range situations to see how much it can help.
I will explain all of this in one of my next newsletters: When ADS is better, when hipfire is better, and how to make the right decision in a split second. With clear examples, simple rules, and quick tips you can use right away.
Quick tip: Many stronger players quickly aim down sights (“pre-ADS”) before entering a room or when they expect enemies around the next corner.
2. Driving Over Mines With Vehicles (Safely)
If you are not a Battlefield veteran, you might not know this. Every vehicle can crawl, no matter if it is an armored transport, a tank, or an IFV. Crawling simply means driving extremely slow.
How to do it: PC: hold Left Ctrl or tap or hold the crouch button on controller.
💡 When you crawl, you move slow enough to not trigger enemy mines. This allows you to drive right over them without taking any damage at all.
Enemies love to place mines on main roads, near capture points, chokepoints, and sometimes even close to your HQ. Mines blend into the ground and are often very hard to see, especially in damaged or cluttered areas.
Of course, you can shoot mines to destroy them, but that exposes your position and takes time. And sometimes you simply do not see them early enough.
By crawling you avoid one of the most annoying deaths in the game. And at the same time you take away one of the most satisfying kills for your enemy, because killing a vehicle and its driver (and passengers) with a mine feels just great for anyone.
3. Minimap: Knowing If Enemies Are Above or Below You
First of all, increase the size of the minimap to the maximum in the settings. The minimap is one of the best tools to survive longer and get more kills.
It not only shows where enemies are, but also if they are on the same height, above you, or below you. This works inside buildings, in narrow streets, on rooftops, or on big structures like in Eastwood.
Here is how the enemy marker works on the minimap:
Normal diamond icon: Enemy is on the same level as you
Diamond with an arrow pointing up: Enemy is above you
Diamond with an arrow pointing down: Enemy is below you
This information is extremely helpful, because you always know if someone is on your floor, one floor higher, or one floor lower. For example, if you are on the roof, you instantly see if an enemy is also on the roof or if he is inside the building below you.
4. Exiting a Vehicle the Right Way
Most players do not know this. When you leave a vehicle, you exit in the exact direction you are looking at. This is extremely important for engineers who jump out to repair, but also in general combat situations for other classes.
If you exit on the wrong side, you might jump straight into enemy fire or into a group of enemies without any cover.
Here are two simple rules that help:
Look in a safe direction before exiting. Never jump out toward the side where enemies are already shooting at you.
If you want to repair, exit on the opposite side from where the damage is coming from. This makes it more likely that you can repair safely, even if another enemy shows up.
5. Spot More = Kill More
Spotting an enemy, especially in the distance when you aim down sights, is very important, and most players do it far too little.
You instantly see if the player is an enemy or a friendly. Many times you cannot tell right away, especially at medium to long range.
The spot mark stays above his character for a few seconds, which makes it easier to track and finish him.
You also help your team. Plus, you get points for spotting, and if he gets killed, you get assist points on top of that.
I hope these five tips will help you next time on the battlefield. More tips and expert advice are coming soon.
