Learn how to support your squad with ammo and health with the throwables coming with Battlefield 2042 – Season 6: Dark Creations

When the fear of defeat creeps in, you’re just a throwable away from survival. With Battlefield™ 2042 – Season 6: Dark Creations*, you’ll be able to support your squad mates by chucking them pouches that will let them replenish their ammo or health. Make good use of this lifeline in the close-quarters mayhem.

The Medical and Ammo Pouches are two new Gadgets available for [the Support class](/games/battlefield/battlefield-2042/classes-hub/support-class). With one of these added to your loadout, you’ll be able to throw them to teammates to replenish some of their health or ammo. You’ll see which teammate you’re targeting through outlines around their bodies. Injured or fresh out of bullets yourself? No worries, just self-apply.

The pouches are most useful in the middle of intense combat situations on tight, frantic battlefields like[ the new Redacted map](/games/battlefield/battlefield-2042/maps-hub/redacted). Lobbing ammo or health round the corners of this meatgrinder will result in happy teammates (and a good chunk of XP for yourself). If your allies are moving, simply chuck a pouch in front of them and they will be supported without even having to think about it.

The throwable pouches will give the Support class Specialists – Falck, Irish, and Angel – new versatility. Try equipping Falck with a Ammo Pouch and use it together with her S21 Syrette Pistol to be the ultimate team player, fulfilling several of your buddies’ needs. Or take Irish for a spin and give him a more active role as a hybrid defender thanks to the pouches, now that you don’t have to rely on the more stationary (albeit handy) Medical Crates.

So, stretch your throwing arm, enjoy these gadgets, and make good use of the new opportunities they will provide as you take on Battlefield 2042 – Season 6: Dark Creations.

*REQUIRES BATTLEFIELD 2042 (SOLD SEPARATELY) AND ALL GAME UPDATES TO PLAY.

Want to get the most bang for your buck out of these little beauties? Keep reading. 

There’s nothing quite like the surprise factor (or the stopping power) of a well-timed grenade, and Battlefield™ 2042 - Season 5: New Dawn has not one, not two, but three new types for you to put to good use on the battlefield. Spring Grenades and Mini Grenades are available to every Class, while the Anti-Tank Grenades are solely available to Engineers. Let’s take a look at each one to help you decide when and where best to make use of them.

First up is the new Spring Grenade. Similar to the WWII German S-mine (or “Bouncing Betty”), the Spring Grenade doesn’t explode upon impact with an enemy, cover, or vehicle, rather once it lands there’s a second or two pause before it shoots up into the air with a spectacular trail of sparks and explodes – conveniently just about at your enemy’s head height. With proper timing, the Spring Grenade can act as a great method for panicking and flushing out combatants behind cover. However, it’s important to note that should your enemy go prone before the grenade goes off, they’ll take significantly less damage. 

Mini Grenades are similar to standard Frag Grenades, but much smaller and both easier and faster to throw. The smaller size does mean a smaller area of effect and less overall damage, however, the big benefit is quantity over explosive quality. Rather than being restricted to a single grenade, you can have up to three Minis at a time. This gives you a bit more flexibility in terms of their use. Rather than a single throw at a target, you can select several at a time. Or position multiple grenades in quick succession to impel an enemy out of cover or into your squad’s kill zone. Mini Grenades can also be thrown much farther, allowing for more overall versatility in combat.

Finally, there’s the Anti-Tank Grenade, a large explosive that really packs a wallop against enemy vehicles. If thrown directly at an enemy vehicle, it will explode upon impact, dealing significant damage (depending upon where it hits and what it hits, naturally). It may take several Anti-Tank Grenades to take out an EMKV90-TOR, but against something like an MD540 Nightbird, one well-timed explosive should bring it down. If you are attacking a tank, try to aim for the back of the vehicle to get the most damage. Note: Anti-Tank Grenades will only damage enemy vehicles unless “Friendly Fire” has been enabled.

Make the most of the Assault Class’s “sticky” explosives.

Introduced with Battlefield 2042 – Season 4: Eleventh Hour, the SPH Explosive Launcher is a potent Gadget for the Assault Class – and a blast to use! Learn how this handy hardware can aid your anti-infantry ambitions.

The Gadget in question fires Smart Piercing Hook (SPH) explosives – “sticky” projectiles capable of latching on to objects, vehicles, and players. Once an explosive attaches to its target, it will detonate after roughly one second. The SPH has an ammo count of four projectiles – two per casing – and requires a reload after two projectiles have been fired.

The SPH has many uses, but as you may suspect, the most fun is to make a projectile stick to an enemy. Pull this off and the enemy will see a flashing red icon, indicating doom. At this point, your foe’s redeploy screen is as inevitable as the smirk on your face.

You don’t need to aim this accurately to be effective, though. A projectile will kill an enemy within 2,5 meters and has a blast radius of 5 meters. You can be up to 50 meters away from your target and still hit where you are aiming, but further away, projectiles will drop drastically. The trajectory is quite flat, which makes it hard to lob projectiles, but ideal for precision shots. Keep this in mind, look for the right openings, and you will master the SPH Explosive Launcher in no time.

The SPH is great for area control. Shoot one or two projectiles into a building, and you are likely to see enemies fleeing the scene. Having created this chaos, you and your squad can push on, pick up the scraps, and secure the area. The SPH is ineffective against tanks, but if you see an open-seat vehicle with multiple targets on board, there’s another type of opportunity: shoot projectiles at the vehicle for a chance to score a satisfying multikill.

The only real countermeasure to the SPH is the APS-36 Shootdown Sentinel. This is a Gadget wielded by the Specialist[ Irish](/games/battlefield/battlefield-2042/specialists-hub/kimble-irish-graves) that can take down explosive projectiles. Also, enemies playing as [Dozer](/games/battlefield/battlefield-2042/specialists-hub/santiago-espinoza) will not die from a stuck projectile if they’re at full health, thanks to the Blast Resistance Trait. In that scenario, try to get two shots in.

We hope you enjoy experimenting with the SPH Explosive Launcher and that it will bring even more depth to the Assault Class. Have fun with Season 4: Eleventh Hour and we will see you on the battlefield.

How to Use the SPH Explosive Launcher in Battlefield™ 2042


There are several new ways to get the upper hand in CQC (close-quarters combat) during Season 2: Master of Arms – including the all-new Concussion Grenade.

The key to this handy little gadget is knowing exactly where to land it to get the most bang for your buck, and that’s in front of your enemies. Throw it too far and it’ll still work, but for maximum effectiveness, you want to ensure your enemies are facing it when it detonates.

Note: the concussion grenade won’t directly harm your enemies but it will disable their use of ADS making it harder for them to respond to fire and give you and your squad the upper hand.
