Battlefield 6: Recon Class Guide

In this guide, we shall go over the Recon class in Battlefield 6 and offer general tips on how to play it.

Battlefield 6 features some of the densest maps in the series, and running through its streets and alleys can be hectic more often than not. In such cases, the Recon class comes in clutch, as it allows you to take a step back and analyze the battlefield and move accordingly. 

The Recon class excels at spotting enemies and taking fights from a distance. You’re essentially a sharpshooter for your team, or a quarterback if we were to put it that way. You help create openings for those on Assault, help breach enemy lines, and capture objectives. If you’re wondering how to play this class, this guide is for you.

Recon Class Overview in Battlefield 6

The Recon class’s main ability is that it can spot enemies automatically when aiming down sights. This ability is a lifesaver when trying to navigate your way through all the dust and debris. By spotting enemies, you can help your teammates push through all the chaos and eliminate targets. The class also unlocks the following abilities across various levels: 

• Level 0: Eagle Eye gives you improved auto-spotting.
• Level 1: This gives you the Wounding Shot. With this, torso shots with sniper rifles reveal enemies and slow healing. 
• Level 2: This level gives you the Kill Confirmed perk, which makes headshots from rifles unrevivable.
• Level 6: This unlocks the UAV Call-in, which helps you in spotting enemies.
