“Battlefield 6” is taking a different route with its weapon unlock system compared to earlier games. Instead of just leveling up to unlock everything, it combines standard rank goals with specific challenges for each class. This means you won’t just be able to grind endlessly to unlock everything; you’ll need to change up your playing style and try out new tactics for each class.
Some of these challenges can take more time and might seem confusing at first, but the rewards make the effort worthwhile. You can see all the class assignments from the start, but you need to reach rank 20 and complete all the necessary tasks before your progress is saved.
### How to Unlock All Gadgets for the Assault Class
The Assault class, known for its aggressiveness, starts with great options like the shotgun and assault ladder, which help you flank enemies and get close for quick kills. Unlike other classes, you can swap out one gadget for a second primary weapon, like DMRs, carbines, or shotguns. This flexibility makes it perfect for maps that favor close combat, with shotguns such as the M86A1, M1013, and 18.5KS-K being popular choices.
Here’s a quick overview of equipment and requirements:
| Equipment | Gadget | Requirement |
|————————|————————————-|—————————————————|
| Signature Gadget | Adrenaline Injector | None |
| M87A1 | Shotgun | None |
| Tarantula ALX | Assault Ladder | None |
| X95 BRE | Breaching Projectile Launcher | Reach Rank 7 |
| M320A1 HE | High Explosive Launcher | Reach Rank 17 |
| M1014 | Shotgun | Reach Rank 42 |
| M320A1 THRM | Thermobaric Grenade Launcher | Reach Rank 44 |
| QLINK 6 | Deploy Beacon | Complete Assault 1 |
| SS26 | Incendiary Shotgun | Complete Assault Expert 1 |
| 18.5KS-K | Shotgun | Complete Point Blank 2 |
Unlocking some gadgets, like the Deploy Beacon, Incendiary Shotgun, and 18.5KS-K, requires completing specific tasks, so teaming up with support players who can refill your gear is a good idea. For example, to unlock the Deploy Beacon, you need to earn 10,000 points as Assault and get 30 kills with the Adrenaline Injector, all while completing the Assault assignment.
Once you finish certain prerequisites, you can move on to the Assault Expert challenge, which involves objectives like getting 50 kills near objectives and earning high scores.
The semi-automatic 18.5KS-K Shotgun can be unlocked after completing the Point Blank 1 challenge, which doesn’t require a high rank, so you can work on it right away by inflicting damage and killing enemies with shotguns.

### How to Unlock Gadgets for the Engineer Class
The Engineer class specializes in countering vehicles with tools like the Auto-Guided Launcher and Air-Defense Launcher.
