DAY 1 TIPS FROM THE DEVELOPERS
Here are some tips to help you get out ahead of the pack on Day 1 of Battlefield Hardline.
- Play the Objective. Whatever mode you choose to play, the best way to score points and get ahead is to focus on playing the objectives.
- Don’t forget to spot. Even if you get killed without doing any damage to anyone spotting will help your team and earn you points.
- If you are new to the Battlefield franchise try playing Hotwire first. You can spawn directly on team controlled objective cars and start instantly scoring points.
- When playing Hotwire a Mechanic with the Grenade Launcher is a great starting class. Once you have enough money buy the Repair Tool so you can keep your teams objective cars up and running.
- Don’t forget to pay attention to how much money you are earning and have a plan for spending all that loot! I like to buy all the gadgets first.
- The zipline and grappling hook can completely change the strategy of a game, don’t forget to use them to get up, around and over the enemy.
- You don’t always have to spawn at the base. You can spawn on squadmates, captured objectives (Conquest and Hotwire) and certain vehicles to get to the action quicker.
- You can upgrade vehicles, go to the Vehicle tab in the Customize screen.
- If you want to be a pilot but you don’t know how to control a helicopter try jumping in an empty server and practicing until you get the hang of it.
- Change your loadout based on the situation. Sometimes a certain loadout is great at the beginning of a match but as the match unfolds you may need to switch it up. Don’t get stuck on one loadout/class.
- Don’t forget about Battlepacks. You earn them as you rank up and people often overlook them.
- Battlepickups are special heavy weapons or gadgets hidden around the map, make note of where these are hidden as they can help turn the tide of a match.
- After taking down an enemy with a non-lethal takedown you can stand over them and interrogate them. This will expose their teammates location on your minimap.
- Have fun, it’s a video game.
