Battlefield 2042 Specialists Guide: Who They Are & What They Do

This kind of extensive loadout decision-making is a first for a Battlefield game. How Many Battlefield 2042 Specialists Are There? According to DICE and EA, Battlefield 2042 will have 10 specialists at launch. The game will also see one new specialist added each season for a total of 14 specialists in a span of 4 seasons in 1 year. Who are the Battlefield 2042 Specialists? Webster Mackay Mackay is the fast-moving Assault-based Specialist of Battlefield 2042.

Birthplace:

Canada

Class:

Assault

Specialty:

Grappling Hook

Trait:

Nimble

DICE describes the Canadian-born specialist as an "ex-military, lone-wolf survivalist". He is based on the Assault class and has pledged his allegiance to the survivalist group, Non-Patriated. He has access to the Grappling Hook. This lets him zip in and out of combat, which fits in well with the Nimble trait that lets him aim down sights without suffering from a movement penalty. Maria Falck Falck is a lot like Doc from Rainbow Six Siege in that she heal from afar.

Birthplace:

Germany

Class:

Support

Specialty:

S21 Syrette Pistol

Trait:

Combat Surgeon

Maria Falk is Battlefield 2042's version of the Support. This German medic is searching for her son, David, who she suspects has allied with the numerous Non-Pat groups all over Earth. Her Speciality, Syrette Pistol, is a gun that does damage to enemies and heals allied units. She can also revive downed allies straight to full health using her Combat Surgeon trait. Pyotr "Boris" Guskovsky Players will get a lot of value from playing as Boris and deploying his Sentry Gun in the right places.

Pyotr "Boris" Guskovsky Birthplace:

Russia

Engineer

Specialty:

SG-36 Sentry Gun

Trait:

Sentry Operator

Boris is an Engineer from Russia that's described by DICE as "self-motivated and self-fulfilling. He is currently fighting for the Task Force where his specialty, SG-36 Sentry System, lets him drop an automated turret that attacks enemy targets on sight whenever they come into range. He can also manually control which enemy the turret is attacking using the Sentry Operator trait. Wikus "Casper" Van Daele Casper's drone should come in handy in a map as huge as that in Battlefield 2042.

Birthplace:

South Africa

Class:

Recon

Specialty:

OV-P Recon Drone

Trait:

Movement Sensor

Casper is described as an "introverted loner" who serves as the Task Force's "unflappable, calm presence".
