Support Class - How to play it | Battlefield 1 (20)

Support class has changed only slightly from previous games, but it generally has the same role as before. Your job is simple – resupply your teammates and suppress your enemies. Make use of bipods for better accuracy and trip mines to stop and surprise your enemies. In this guide, we’re going to show you how to play Support Class in Battlefield 1, how to get good at it. 

Battlefield 1 Support Class

Here are some great tips and tricks that will help you and your teammates win: 

• Put your trip wires inside buildings and in strategic positions for some easy kills. Avoid putting them in open, clearly visible spaces. Put them on stairs, ladders and near doors to cover your position. People tend to pass them without noticing.
• Your heavy machine guns will have increased accuracy and decreased spread when you hold down your trigger. Your first few shots will be inaccurate, but the spread will decrease later on. Avoid tap fire to increase your overall accuracy.
• Since your magazines will mostly have a high number of bullets, consider using the pre-fire method when you go around corners and suspect enemies are nearby. The pre-fire method is basically when you start firing before you move around the corner – it will give you an upper hand in various combat situations.
• Put your ammo crate on strategic positions such as buildings, rooftops and any contested area. You will provide ammo for anyone passing by, giving you and your team an egde in combat.
• Don’t wait for your teammates to ask for ammo, constantly throw your pouches and place crates around the map. Everyone will be resupplied with ammo and you will get a lot of points.
• Some machine guns have a bipod beneath them. You can use them while going prone, on windows and walls. Place your machine gun in a good position and your accuracy will increase drastically, while recoil will become almost non-existent.

Kolibri Pistol Easter Egg | Battlefield 1 (19)

Kolibri pistol is a tiny little gun you can use in Battlefield 1. It’s an easter egg, and the weapon is largely useless, apart from its novelty value. It’s a replica of a real world gun, whose production was abandoned since it was as useful as its in-game counterpart. In this guide, we’re going to show you the Kolibri pistol easter egg in Battlefield 1, where to find it, what it looks like.

Note: This guide is a work in progress. We’ll add the exact steps you need to take to obtain this weapon once the game is out.

As you can see, the baby pistol is hilarious, and so are the animations when using it. Killing someone with it will probably require a lot of persistence and luck. As for the method of obtaining it, it will probably be a map-speficic pickup, hidden away somewhere. There is a possibility it will be unlocked through the menu using Warbonds, but we think it’s unlikely. Asking players to invest hard-earned progression currency and a loadout slot into it would be kind of cruel.


It’s based on the Kolibri 2mm, a real world weapon designed in the early 20th century by an Austrian watchmaker. It was marketed as a self-defense weapon, but test quickly showed it wasn’t up to the task – it was impresice, weak and fiddly. It is an amazing thing to see, though. 

Scout Class - How to play | Battlefield 1 (18)

Scout class in Battlefield 1 has remained very similar to what it was in the previous games. It comes equipped with a sniper rifle, a flare gun, some special armor piercing bullets that can greatly damage vehicles and a spotting scope. In this guide, we’re going to show you how to play scout class in Battlefield 1, how to get better at it. 

Battlefield 1 Scout Class Tips

Here are some useful tips and tricks that can help you get better with the Scout class : 

• Don’t camp in one spot and try to hit your targets from extremely long range. Always play the objective and cooperate with your teammates.
• As suspected, sniper rifles excel at long range engagement. Practice shooting moving targets and shoot ahead of them for successful hits. It may take some time to master, but once you get it, you will be unstoppable at long range. Master the bullet drop at different ranges with different rifles. Head-shots will grant you instant kills at any range. Practice with different sniper rifles until you have found the one that suits your needs and the combat situation.
• Don’t hold the scope for too long. Use it quickly for scouting the area and taking shots. Keep in mind that everyone can spot you thanks to the reflection from your scope, so don’t use it if it’s not necessary. Use the spotting scope to mark your enemies and scout the area out instead.
• Different sniper rifles have different damage models. With some, damage will increase if your target is between 50 to 120 meters awy, and it will drop if your target is out of that range. At close range, you could try quick scoping but the best thing would be to use your sidearm or melee. Also practice quick scoping and immediately switching to your sidearm.
• Use your flare gun to spot all enemies in the area for a short period of time. It can be very useful, especially at heavily contested areas and capture points.
• Use K bullets to damage vehicles. They don’t do too much damage, but they will most certainly help, or at least stop the vehicle from repairing. This can be very useful on open maps with a lot of vehicles and tanks.
• Try out the famous “Aggressive sniper role”. Get into the action while using the sniper rifle with a faster rate of fire and smaller magnification. It requires a lot of skill and practice, but you can devastate an entire team in seconds. Go for medium range headshots and finish off your enemies with your sidearm if necessary.
• Your combat role is to keep your distance from the enemy, mark and eliminate from long range. Avoid open spaces and always stay behind cover. If you enjoyed sniping in previous Battlefield games, you will definitely enjoy it in this one.

Medic Class Guide | Battlefield 1 (17)

Medic class is definitely the most useful class in Battlefield 1, in any game mode. In previous games, it was the assault class that had access to medkits and defibrillators. It also had acess to very powerful assault rifles. In Battlefield 1, it’s the Medic that will be using the semi-automatic rifles and healing and reviving teammates. This guide will show you how to play medic class in Battlefield 1, how to get good at it. 

Battlefield 1 Medic Class Tips

Here’s some advice that will help you maximize your efficiency on the battlefield: 

• You will lose accuracy if you spam the trigger while using the semi-automatic rifles. Take slow shots for maximum precision. Hip fire spread is generally high, so try to avoid it if possible. Practice aiming down sights.
• Semi-automatic rifles are designed for medium to long range engagements, so try to avoid tight corners. In those situations, you should consider using your sidearm or melee weapon. They are very similar to DMR rifles from previous games.
• Place medic crates on strategic positions, such as rooftops, inside building and places with good cover, to heal yourself and your teammates while you are in tense combat situations.
• You can throw small med packs directly at your teammates if they are injured. Throw your med packs on the ground frequently, even if there are no teammates around at the moment. This will give your team an upper hand in many situations.
• Don’t try to revive your teammate unless you are sure that there are no enemies around. You don’t want to get in a situation where you die while reviving another player.
• As with any other class, always try to spot enemies and mark them, both for yourself and your teammates.
• Consider using the repair tool on maps with vehicular combat. Support them with your repairs, since the tanks and vehicles can turn the tide of victory. Keep in mind that it will replace your medkit or your revive tool in your loadout.
• Your role is simple, but very important – crucial for winning.. It’s constant healing, repairing vehicles and reviving. Keep your teammates alive and running at all times.
