This is extremely useful when playing as a recon class player.As every recon class player knows with a sniper rifle every bullet counts.
14. Squad Up!
Being a team player is what matters in a game that is team vs. team on a war zone. For this case we recommend playing with a squad at every chance.

However, the player can use special Czech Hedgehogs to stop enemy tanks and vehicles. At the moments when waves of enemies are charging at an objective the player can build barbed wire to slow the enemy down.
11. Familiarize With A Preferred Weapon
In a game that bases its survival rate on how the weapons in it perform. It is sometimes best to become second nature with man’s most fateful weapons.
How to become familiarized with a weapon:
The player can become second nature with their chosen weapon by ranking it up through each progressive level they rank to.
How this gives you an advantage:
Once the weapon is prestige the game rewards the player with in game rewards specific to that chosen weapon. Thus, giving the player a rewarding skin or attachment that sticks after the weapon resets to level 0.
This becomes helpful to the player because that attachment can be used through each new weapon level they progress through. We understand it may be tempting to use each one like a piece on a roulette table.
However, it is best to find one particular gun that meets your needs when surviving.
10. Use The Environment To Your Advantage
In battlefield everything the player sees can be used as a way to survive. This is especially the case when it comes to mountable cannons or windows. These two options may be the best for staying out of sight and destroying enemy planes.
How to use the environment as a weapon:

A PlayStation 4 player can access the planes by pressing X on the deployment Screen.
How this gives you an advantage:
By not flying without at least a fair amount of in game piloting skills; the player may risk crashing before even succeeding on flying or killing an enemy from above.
It is recommended to ride with a pilot if the player is a novice player hoping to have fun. If the player wants to kick it up a notch take a plane out for a spin but keep an eye on how it handles while firing.It is best to aim before firing as this may reduce moments of crashing.
8. Use Upgrades To Improve a Weapon
When leveling up a weapon the player is rewarded with upgradeable perks for that specific weapon. These perks can help improve on areas the weapon may be currently lacking.
How To Upgrade A Weapon in battlefield 5:
When trying to upgrade a weapon it can be achieved through the weapon customization screen. After selecting the weapon the player wishes to upgrade, the player can press Y on the Xbox One and Triangle on the PlayStation 4 to access perks and attachments.

This helps the player by improving the rating of each stat on the weapon. An attachment can be used in game while maneuvering through the warzone. Scopes can be helpful when trying to stay in a distanced location during engaging combat moments.
Perks can improve on areas that require faster reloading times or a bigger magazine size. Both come in handy when trying to have the upper hand advantage over the enemy.
Remember that the best stats are the ones that don’t decrease other stats yet improve on that area of need.
7. Complete Assignment Tasks And Daily Orders For Extra Company Coin
In a game world where in real world money is a way to have better fun.Completing Daily Orders and Assignment Tasks can help save the player dollars from their wallet.

To spot the enemy from a far or close distance; make sure to press RB on Xbox One, R1 on PlayStation 4 and Q on PC Platforms. This is best completed when aiming down sights on an enemy.
How this gives you an advantage:
This becomes benefitting because the player is given a chance to spot their enemy from a far distance before moving in to engage on their chosen target.
This is also benefitting because if a teammate is near the spotted enemy it allows them to become aware.
A recon class player has the best advantage of spotting enemies as they are the ones that stay back in the line of combat.
5. Spot Enemies By The Reflection Of Their Weapon
In a game where most objectives require being up close and personal with the action.Recon class players can be seen as the worst enemy to a close engagement of combat.
How the player can achieve this task:
The player can spot the sniper by the glint of the sun that reflects off their scopes.If the player sees a flash of light in the distance it could very well be a sniper class player.
How this gives you an advantage:
This becomes benefitting because it allows the player to be more aware of their surrounding area.
A sniper is known to be a camper or a well skilled player who knows how to wield a sniper rifle. For that matter it is best to know where they are at all times.
Every sniper is known to relocate to a new location; which makes this method of spotting them that much greater to use in game.
4. Know When To Use Your Scope
Aiming down the iron sights of a weapon can be helpful to many veteran and new players. However, there comes a time when aiming down your sight can also be your worst enemy.
How the player can use their scopes better:
When in close combat switch to hip firing if aiming down your sights is causing distractions from aiming.This can help get the upper hand when not aiming down your sights because it allows you to be able to shoot an enemy while sprinting.When playing as a Recon sniper class make sure to relocate every once and awhile to confuse the enemies of your whereabouts.
How this gives you an advantage:
By knowing when and how to aim down your scope you can better become accurate with the chosen weapon.It is sometimes hard to shoot while aiming through a scope in the mist of sprinting or jumping from ledge to ledge.
This is why this method of second nature skills becomes a helpful tip. Any good player has the chance to rack up head shot after head shot.
However, in close combat areas this may be the thing that catches a player off guard as they try to aim while being shot at.The reaction time of both can be benefitting if done right.
3. Know Your Class Role
There is nothing more upsetting then a player who doesn’t understand the logic of class roles. Each role has a primarily focus of pushing their team to victory lines.
How the player can achieve this:
The player can become better skilled with their chosen class by using it through progression of the ranks in multiplayer. Each unlocking level of the class enables the player new ways of how to be better at their skilled class. So stick with a preferred class of the players choosing to have better experiences.
How this gives you an advantage:
By the player becoming aware of the strengths and weaknesses of each class; the player gains a better understanding of which class best fits their play styles. By sticking with that preferred class the player becomes more of a team player and more educated on how to play that chosen role.There isn’t one class that’s more important in the heat of battle.
As every class has a way of helping the other succeed where it may end up lacking in moments of battle; it is best to stick with the same class until it is maxed out or around class level 15 where most of the unlocks have been unlocked. Each class maxes out at level 20.
2.Target The Rear Or Side Armor Of Enemy Tanks
Tanks can be the worst of many enemies that a player faces on the war zone.Its main purpose is to secure the win for the team that chooses to use them.However, while tanks may seem to be sometime indestructible; a layer has the opportunity to destroy it before it poses a threat to the team.
How the player can achieve this task:
To be able to perform this task the player must find and target the weak spots of the tanks armor. The front armor happens to be the heaviest armor for obvious reasons. Most shots from a Panzerfaust 100 are going to bounce off the front. However, if the player aims at the rear of the tank with this weapon; it has the stopping power capable of destroying the tank in two shots.
How this gives you an advantage:
By aiming at the right spot of the tank it allows a better chance of survival against combating it. This is benefitting because if the player happens to be patient enough to wait for the right moment they will be rewarded by staying alive. However, if missed when firing at the tank it may give off the location the player currently is in.
Don’t be that player who ends up missing on the first fire. Make sure to aim at the bottom of the tanks rear side to have maximum effect on this method of destroying tanks.
1. Be Smart When Reviving Other Teammates
Sometimes being a hero can seem like a great thing to achieve. However, when engaging in combat against an enemy.It can be the one thing that becomes unachievable.That is why choosing when and how to revive a teammate is best to learn how to do.
How the player can achieve this task:
The player can achieve this task by being mindful of their surroundings.If there is an enemy around it is best to wait in cover before trying to survive a downed squad member.
How this gives you an advantage:
This can be benefiting because it secures the fact you aren’t killed trying to revive a teammate.That may sound unfair to most of your teammates.However, if the player happens to be killed trying to revive their teammate who is going to be there to revive them both?
For the most benefiting aspect this choice should happen in a very tactical manner of doing so.Take out enemies beforehand and then move in to revive your teammate. It is sometimes better to let a team mate go rather than risking the objective or team points.
