#Improved stealth gameplay.

Lately, I've been experimenting with a more tactical and stealthy playstyle. I've tried to use the recon drone to gain information of unsuspecting enemies to then find a way behind them and take them out.

While playing in this playstyle I've noticed some problems with it such as:

  1. Not being able to see myself in the recon drone has made it harder to define where the enemies are from my position. This could simply be fixed by making your character visible when flying in the drone.

  2. The recon class doesn't have a lot of weapons for this playstyle as snipers and marksmen rifles aren't exactly the best for taking out multiple enemies. While the class has some battle rifles, I'd say that SMG's might fit the recon class better for the recon class's emphasis on agility and covert gameplay.

  3. It's slow to swap from drone to weapon or weapon to drone. Trying to make the recon drone fit this fast-paced playstyle is hard when it takes a long time to swap between equipment. Maybe something like a hotkey to go straight to the drone view without first needing to swap to the tablet could help.

Lastly I'll say I'm just a casual gamer and idk would such changes actually be balanced, but these are just some issues I had playing the game this way.

Thank you for taking the time to read about my experiences and suggestions.

All of these are good except the SMGs on recon

people don't want recon to be able to do anything but snipe, then get pissed off that recons only snipe.

played bf4 and really liked how you can choose to be either a generic sniper or play an "infiltrator" role, would like seeing that in battlebit as well

i think adding smgs to sniper will trun it into another assault knockoff

#

like medic or engie

wary tree
#

This too

#

use battle rifles

#

Ngl that do be a skill issue since something like FAL atomises people

#

Also tapfire exists and brs aint half bad at range

true vine
#

Yeah, I guess that's true.

maybe give recon a new armor that gives more small arms ammo i/o sniper/rifle ammo for those who wanted to play a certain play style

#

an integrated silenced pistol would be nice to see as well

#

having armor have stats that effect specific gadgets and weapon types is an idea that could be very cool in the long run, even allow for more types of armor/armor cosmetics to fit the role

deft light
#

for some reason I thought it'd be a funny addition for recon to have a fanny pack to replace the backpack and it increases the small arms magazine count

#

honestly why not, that's a real thing

wary tree
#

Tbh belts allowing you to carry more ammo for secondary would be really good

#

Like in general

#

Odd that only engineer has 2 belt types

tulip kindle
#

why not, a no armor setup with alice gear could work

wary tree
#

I got no problems with belts giving more secondary ammo

#

More than welcome change imo

tulip kindle
#

all belts are the same except for the engy "tool" belts right which give an extra light gadget?

wary tree
#

Correct

#

Tool one gives an extra gadget in exchage for one secondary mag

#

Basically on engie its either 2 extra mags or 1 extra mag and 1 extra gadget

#

Otherwise you just pick belts for the drip

Its kind a hard in this state of gameplay cause the footstep from enemyteam was too loud you can hear the from kilo away and they can hear you too i always try this but its kind a useless

#

Wait....

quick niche
#

I've always said, give smgs and all silenced only weapons to recon as well

#

Every class should have 2 playstyles imo. Recon should be able to provide long range support and cover, or be one of the best classes maneuvering around objectives and taking out stragglers with silenced weaponry, or breaking through gaps in enemy lines.

use MK20 on assault and camp in grass thats all

#

most enemies are dumb blind idiots who pass by

#

ambush them and winstreak

#

recon not being able to recon up close and only recon from afar sounds kinda weird

#

i think itd be ok to give it smg because the buffs, armor and movement speed that make smg stronger are mainly given to assault class

#

...dmrs are available on assault so assault does recon better than recon

recons get scope glint on medium scopes for snipers

#

and on long scopes

deft light
#

I see. last time I saw someone mentioned that it also glints on the DMR XD

#

if it's true then that's another reason to play assault dmr instead 🤷‍♂️

since we are using the same gun

yea well me and the other dude was using M200 so

#

i would cope about ammo too if i didnt have the ranger vest after 500 hours because i stayed in backline going 30/60 all game..

deft light
#

tbh sniper could use a fanny pack specifically for ammo only

covert sky
deft light
#

ik ranger gives slightly increased ammo for the guns

#

I meant like for the belt section

#

or give a small ammo pack for sniper also XD

i think that maybe instead of giving smgs give PDW? the two internally suppressed guns fall under that category and would fulfill the same role

#

also fit for the sneaky larp

quick niche
#

I would be ok with that, but you may as well give smgs as well imo

#

It's kind of like how the medic - for some reason - can't use the pp2000 anymore (why?). Like just give me all the guns that play the same bro

deft light
#

recon could use some access to integrated suppressed weapons

#

just saw a sniper called VSSK Vykhlop. the size of the suppressor is huge

#

Daewoo Telecom K7 can work for the SMG part

#

provided that equipping it for recon will have a slightly longer swap time compared to swapping with a pistol.

#

Doesnt battlefield make the spawn becon a gadget for recon? (At least Bf4 did, not sure about the others) which is why the recon scout role actually made sense

#

beacon is given to squad leader instead, and people don't know beacons exist let alone how to place them 🤷‍♂️

#

they don't even know how to build or use any squad leader menu, and even if they figure out they are squad leader they don't know how to do anything but kick or promote

Give me the ability to move faster when crouching and pressing sprint, similar to how in pubg you can either just move around crouching AND run around crouching.

so just arma movement?
