Tips on how to dominate with the new Specialist and her X6-Infiltration Device.

A highly decorated sailor, fighting to do what’s right. Meet Camila Blasco, the new [Specialist](/games/battlefield/battlefield-2042/specialists-hub) coming to *Battlefield 2042* with Season 4: Eleventh Hour.

This Recon Class No-Pat is a true ambush expert. If you master her skills and tactical gear, your chances of moving through the battlefield unseen and unharmed should increase. Jumping into battle as Blasco will create unique opportunities to win the day (and have a blast while doing it) using her Specialist Gadget and Trait.

**Stay undetected with the X6-Infiltration Device**

Blasco is equipped with a signal jammer preventing any lock-ons from hostile devices. Dubbed the X6-Infiltration Device, this Specialist Gadget also interferes with active spotting technology.

When you place this device on the battlefield, take a look at the minimap: you’ll see its area of effect. As long as you stay within this space, you cannot be spotted by enemies. On top of that, any foes entering the area will get a scrambled view on their own minimaps. The X6-Infiltration Device also prevents your foes from locking on to your vehicles with gear like rocket launchers.

So, when and where should you place this helpful piece of tech? If you’ve just captured an objective and your team is defending it, try to place the X6 near key areas and chokepoints, but hidden away (note: it works through walls) so it won’t be destroyed.

If you’re sniping from a hilltop and don’t want to get spotted, you could bring the Gadget to your vantage point and make good use of it there. Or why not give a friendly tank some extra protection by placing your Specialist Gadget close to it? Play around with the X6-Infiltration Device and you’ll likely find even more uses.

**Avoid traps thanks to the Ambush Expert Trait**

Playing as Blasco, your enemies’ motion-based Gadgets will not be an issue. The Ambush Expert Trait means you will never trigger equipment like Claymores, T-UGS, or Proximity Sensors. Coupled with the fact that you cannot be targeted by Boris’ SG-36 Sentry Gun, the Traits grants many interesting opportunities.

For instance, you can ambush areas where the enemy thinks they are safe. Having placed a motion-sensing Gadget to guard one doorway, your opponent is likely to cover another one. Sneak in undetected and give your foe a nasty surprise.

You can make good use of the intel the Ambush Expert trait gives you. Clear the way for your team mates by warning them about (or simply destroying) the enemies’ motion-sensing hardware.

Blasco is a great choice if you want No-Pat with some sneaky skills. Be a class above with this unique Specialist coming with *Battlefield 2042* – Season 4: Eleventh Hour.

Utilize the new Specialist’s XM370A Airburst Launcher and Perseverance Trait

Stoic, kind-hearted, and an invaluable asset to your squad. Meet Rasheed Zain, the new [Specialist](/games/battlefield/battlefield-2042/specialists-hub/rasheed-zain) coming to Battlefield 2042 with Season 3: Escalation. If you’re a fan of the Assault Class and intense close-quarter combat, this could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

Deploying on the battlefield as Zain gives you unique ways to dominate the opposition with a new Specialty gadget and a new Trait. Let’s kick off with the former: the XM370A.

**Flush out Enemies with the XM370A**

A semi-automatic Airburst Launcher, the XM370A is a close-quarter weapon designed to take out – or flush out – enemy infantry behind cover.

The Airburst projectile detonates mid-air and is a great tool against foes burrowed down and out of reach. You can’t just go in guns blazing, though. Aim down the sights at a point at the distance of your choice and set this Airburst distance by pressing V (PC) or Down Arrow (console). Then, when aiming down the sights again, you’ll know when you’re aiming at that distance when the weapon’s scope interface turns blue.

Should you fire from the hip or aim at a target below the set Airburst distance, the projectile will behave differently. The trajectory will be flatter, it will detonate immediately at collision, and it will deal less damage. In other words, take the time to set that distance correctly!

The XM370A will not only help you rack up kills, it will also aid your squad in playing the objective. Use it efficiently and you can help break the enemy’s entire frontline, which will get your team one step closer to victory in modes like Conquest, Breakthrough, and Rush.

**Get in Close Thanks to the Perseverance Trait**

Zain’s perseverance under pressure is remarkable. Following an accident caused by a collapsing building in which he rescued a trapped civilian, Zain had to adapt to life with prosthetic legs. He joined the No-Pats and received intensive combat training to help him master his augmented physique.

On the battlefield, Zain’s Perseverance Trait allows him to recover health faster than other Specialists after taking out an enemy. This gives you an opportunity to play more aggressively in close-quarters combat, since taking cover and recovering is less urgent.

The Trait won’t make you immortal, and the faster recovery will be interrupted if you get hurt, but you can definitely take more risks and keep pushing – just as any good Assault player should.

Zain thrives in high intensity situations, and we hope you will too. Get ready to call the shots with this unique Specialist coming with Battlefield 2042 – Season 3: Escalation.

Tips on How to Make the Most of Zain’s Skills


The charismatic ex-arms dealer, Charlie Crawford, brings a lot to the table in Season 2 – including a keen mind, ambition, and the right connections. His years of experience with the Dark Market make him a major asset to the No-Pats. And his new Gadget and Trait will make him just as valuable to your squad.

Crawford’s Mounted Vulcan is a tripod-mounted minigun that can be used by anyone after it’s been placed. It lays down immense firepower – particularly effective against infantry and light vehicles. Choose your placement wisely and lay down a brutal barrage to pin down your enemies right where you want them or keep enemies at bay and hold a hard-won territory. Of course, the minigun won’t make you and your squad untouchable, it has a limited turn radius and is prone to overheating so keep those factors in mind before you deploy it.

His “Cache Point” Trait is based on his [arms dealer background](https://www.ea.com/games/battlefield/battlefield-2042/the-world-of-battlefield-2042/the-dark-market) and allows him to add extra ammo to a gadget when he revives a teammate so they can pick up right where they left off. If you want to make sure your squad can get back in the fight fast, Crawford’s your go-to [Specialist](/games/battlefield/battlefield-2042/specialists-hub/charlie-crawford).
