The Support Class in Battlefield 6 is absurdly versatile, and it might actually have too much going for it. With ammo resupply and a wide variety of gadgets, this class can handle almost any situation. Every player on the battlefield knows that a skilled Support can change the outcome of a match just by being in the right place, supplying teammates, and using its tools effectively. The class is a powerhouse, and in the hands of an experienced player, it can dictate the pace of a game.

Even with all these tools, two items stand out as completely game-changing. These are the ones that elevate the Support from highly effective to nearly unstoppable. They are not just useful; they define how the Support operates. Mastering these two items transforms a Support player into a central anchor for the team, capable of controlling the battlefield and swinging engagements in ways other classes cannot match.
2. The Defibrillator Is the Game-Changer That Keeps Everyone Alive
The Defibrillator is one of the most impactful tools in Battlefield 6 for several reasons. It allows the Support to instantly revive downed teammates anytime any of them decides to kick the bucket. There is no delay and no downtime to be spoken of. In the middle of a large firefight, this ability can completely shift momentum in the Support’s favor. Now, factor in multiple Supports on both sides using this tool. Every teammate brought back into the fight adds pressure on the enemy, keeping the squad alive and maintaining control over contested areas. There is no other tool in the game that provides this level of immediate influence on the battlefield.
The power of the Defibrillator extends far beyond individual revives. Critical objectives that might be lost under heavy conflict can be held purely because each fallen teammate can return to the fight immediately. Enemies can no longer rely on attrition to gain the upper hand, and a skilled Support using the Defibrillator becomes a constant anchor, dictating the pace of engagements and keeping their team cohesive under pressure. This ability changes the way fights play out and forces opponents to adapt on the fly.
The Defibrillator also rewards awareness and positioning. Knowing when and where to deploy it can turn an entire engagement in favor of the squad. In modes like Rush or Breakthrough, where momentum and squad cohesion are vital, the Defibrillator allows the Support to control fights and maintain significant pressure on a point. It is a strategic advantage that elevates the Support to a dominant role on the battlefield.
1. Smoke Grenades Are the Secret Weapon That Control the Battlefield
Smoke Grenades are exclusive to the Support Class, and their effect on the battlefield cannot be understated when utilized during the right circumstances. The thick cloud these grenades produce blocks line-of-sight, obscures team movements, and makes invading or defending objectives much more manageable, especially in closed-in environments. In Rush or Breakthrough, objectives that would normally be exposed suddenly become viable push zones. Smoke creates breathing room for squads to push or hold positions without being completely vulnerable to enemy fire. Its value is immediately noticeable in every engagement.
Even outside of objective-based modes, Smoke Grenades are extremely powerful at all levels of play. They negate spotting, making it harder for enemies to track the Support and their team. Snipers and Recon players lose a major advantage as a result, and coordinated attacks often fail because lines of sight are blocked. Smoke creates chaos for opponents while giving the Support and their team control over the battlefield. Well-placed smoke can save a squad, allow a flank, or force the enemy to hesitate, turning fights in favor of the Support.
The exclusivity of Smoke Grenades to the Support amplifies the class’s dominance. While Assault and Recon might benefit from this kind of tactical tool (because it just makes sense), restricting it to the Support reinforces the class’s power. Combined with the Defibrillator, Smoke Grenades allow the Support to control engagements, protect teammates, and dictate movement in ways no other class can.
Together, the Defibrillator and Smoke Grenades make the Support Class feel almost unstoppable. One keeps teammates alive, and the other controls chaos and enemy behavior. These tools complement each other perfectly and turn the Support into a strategic powerhouse that, frankly, no other class in Battlefield 6 can hope to match.
It is remarkable how much this class can handle. The Support has many other useful tools, offensive and defensive, that it can utilize. But between instantly reviving teammates and creating tactical cover, the Support can single-handedly turn rounds around even without them. These two items alone redefine what it means to play the class effectively. Battlefield 6 rewards players who think ahead and time their tools perfectly, and leverage every advantage the enemy gives. The Support Class might be just a bit overbloated compared to the other classes in Battlefield 6, and that’s why it is the most played class in the game. Perhaps it’s time to share the wealth a little, eh?
