Battlefield 6: How to Unlock Every Class Gadget

Gadgets are unlocked through a combination of overall player level and class-specific progression. As you play and earn experience points (XP), you will increase both your global rank and your rank with the class you are using. Hitting certain rank milestones will unlock new gadgets for you to equip.

• Global Rank Unlocks: Some gadgets become available for all classes once you reach a specific overall player rank.
• Class Rank Unlocks: Most gadgets are tied to your rank with a specific class. To unlock them, you need to play as that class and earn class-specific XP by performing role-related actions (e.g., healing as Support, destroying vehicles as Engineer).

Tip: To level up your classes faster, focus on actions that grant bonus XP for your role. Reviving teammates, resupplying ammo, spotting enemies, and destroying vehicles will accelerate your gadget progression.
