15 Things You Probably Didn't Know You Could Do in Battlefield V

[@xlxlx1]

“The boys can penetrate most cover” Me: Hell yea we can

[@dedmanzombie]

After you've been killed and while in the kill cam if you press your area spot you can directly ping the guy that killed you alerting your friends as to where you got killed from

[@VillaLui]

This!! This this this!! I keep doing this and none of my squad mates ever pay attention!

[@4FYTfa8EjYHNXjChe8xs7xmC5pNEtz]

[@dedmanzombie]

@@sam8404 if you do it during the "zoom in" its spot on everytime.......assuming the killcam actually worked that time

[@cameronc5349]

Honestly annoys me that nobody knows this

[@The_Lone_Outlaw]

I’m gonna post a comment I’ve made that’s seemed to of gotten buried as to help those who don’t know. Unfortunately a “little known” thing: If you’re downed, look at the enemy who killed you and ping him until a RED icon appears. Everyone on your team can see that RED ping. So if you got killed by a camping shotgun guy and you want to notify your team/squad, stab him in the face with that RED ping until someone kills his ass. ALSO, if you got ambushed by a large group of enemies or just a very dangerous type of player who you think has flanked your team and is going to destroy them, PING HIM RAPIDLY! I’m not certain if the entire team can hear the noise of you spamming the ping, but I know your squad can. So if you wanna stop that machinegunners killstreak Dead in its tracks, SPAM THAT PING! Also, make SURE that it is the RED ping!

“You can use your teammates as a place to deploy a bipod” Well Carl, you know the drill... you forget the bipod, you become the bipod

Don’t tell anyone but if you double tap the crouch button while running you do a base slide and go right back into sprinting again. Super useful to not lose speed but dodge while under fire. No one does this, I actually just learned it myself after months of playing haha

[@geoffroypons9143]

Ryan i use it since the release, you can spam it, OP

[@plentifulpineapplez]

If you are playing assault or support and you have mines as a gadget, if you see enemy mines you can pick them up and use them for yourself as it adds them to your inventory. Still has a max of three though so if you already have three you can pick them up and they will disappear, but you won’t get 4 mines

[@brienmaybe.4415]

Every class should have the ability to carry smoke grenades.

[@l1nus0nl1neproductions9]

I wholeheartedly Agree, it is so frustrating when u as a Medic haft to waste smoke grenades on something other than reviving fellow players. The class that really is in need of smoke grenades is support, as they can help with pushing an objective

[@Historybuffm8]

@ Brien I used smoke grenades for all classes in Battlefield 1. I miss it so much now on Battlefield V.

[@MorrowMatty]

I always run smoke grenades with my recon. Incredibly useful for outplaying enemy snipers and buddy revives.

[@DrX-dh6th]

Every class should have the basic three grenades - Frag, Smoke and Incendiary, and they should each have a unique throwable (AT grenade, Sticky Grenade, Throwing Knife already exist, Medic just needs one)

[@KlitterKlapper]

Then it whould be too op especially on the assault class

[@ShortThrowShifting]

Here's some tips for tanks since DICE has implemented ricochets into the game. 1. - Angle your tank to incoming fire if possible, instead of facing square on. The Tiger is easiest to do this with, but the Panzer 4 and Churchill can use their tracks and side skirts to help eat certain shots. What I mean by this, is instead of facing an enemy with the frontal armour square onto them, try to face them at about a 30 degree angle or so, even up to 45 degrees like in the Tiger so that the corner-ish of your armour is facing the enemy. This will help deflect shells that hit your hull. 2. - With the exception of medium tanks, the turret is the weak spot on all tanks in-game and will actually take the most damage and have the highest chance for penetration. 3. - The Churchill Crocodile has the highest armour values in game, even more than the Tiger and Sturmtiger. 4. - Aim for the flattest part of the enemy's armour to prevent ricochets/bounces. 5. - The HEAT rounds on the Tiger do the highest single shot damage in game, even more than a Sturmtiger, which often means they will 2 shot a tank from the front or side if you get a fully penetrating hit. HEAT shells easily get absorbed by tracks and spaced armour and will register as a ricochet, much like a Panzefaust or PIAT will. 6. - APCR rounds bounce off/ricochet extremely easily after the last round of tank tweaks, use with caution. 7. - Dice has actually modeled different armour thicknesses onto the tanks in-game. Always face your frontal armour towards what's shooting at you, as you will definitely take far more damage from side and rear shots. Medium tanks are an oddity, as tanks like the Valentine and Panzer 4 have almost identical armour values around the entire vehicle. 8. - The Tulip/RP3 rockets on the Staghound are excellent anti-tank weapons to bolster the 37mm main gun. You can very quickly kill Tiger tanks by firing both rockets into their backside at close range and finishing off with a shot from the 37mm main gun if necessary.

[@soldadofumado6196]

LOL.. if you're alone in the capture zone and an enemy player enters the zone the capturing will freeze. All you have to do is move closer to the flag so it you'll start capturing again, just because you're closer to the flag than your enemy is.

[@matt338r5]

I use Smoke grenades quite often. I use them mostly with support but people hardly use them. I realized like when we were attacking a position in Grand Operations, we were at a stalemate. Nobody was gaining ground. I noticed that nobody was using smoke and when i threw down like 3, we rushed and captured the point. Edit:(forgot That BfV's Support class doesn't have smoke.)

[@GraphicJ]

On planes, you can cancel out the exit-bail animation if bail while flying upside down.

[@Flakfire]

That's a cool idea

[@BleedingUranium]

The Boys being able to take out any cover with one shot is exactly why it's one of my favourite things in the game. Last time we had a building destroyer anywhere close to this effective was BF3's M320.

[@stevemc6010]

You can manually equip grenades by having your melee weapon equipped, preparing/delaying a grenade throw, then by tapping the quick slash input while holding the grenade back. Your character will mime-throwing a grenade and then have it equipped as in the PC versions of previous games. It doesn’t work with the smoke grenade though but is doable in every console title since BF3.

[@andresdubon2608]

Actually, it's possible. when you are about to revive someone you have to time the exact moment between the throwing animation and the actual smoke leaving your hand. If you do it correctly you may have a smoke grenade in your hands.

[@Hamuelin]

I've been playing BF games since BC2, got a 100 or so hours in the newest title, and I didn't know a good handful of these, nice work man!

[@jackko90MI]

Most of the things are pretty obvious for a "veteran" BF player. Anyway great guide, hope more players see that video. Now the player base is so bad

[@therer15letters33]

Some of the other features include: Being able to lay on your back. (Similar to R6S) Along with being able to shoot and crawl backwards. (Or on your back.) You can run upright like any other First Person Shooter (FPS) but you can also run while crouched. Last one that I will mention for time's sake: (😆) When you walk up to a Sandbag/ Window (Crouched) your gun will do a great animation of 'being pulled into your body/ chest area more/ closer. This allows 'your character' to (while in a crouched position) aim (Aim Down Sight, ADS or LT on Xbox) over said Sandbag or Window. In other words, the next time you are at a Sandbag crouched. Push the Aim Button, Left Trigger (LT) for Xbox players. (When you get close enough to the sandbag, your weapon will appear closer to your characters chest area.) This allows you to use a weapon a little more effectively in scenarios. Say you Crouch Run to a Sandbag and press LT. (Xbox) This allows you to not be seen/ move almost as fast as another player running upright. That could also in certain scenarios allow you to get a jump on a enemy. Veteran (OG) or Not. (Noob) There are more but as far as mimicking bodily movement's (Human's/ Soldier's) Battlefield V in its own respect has lived up to my expectations. The next Battlefield Title's will like all the previous Title's innovate.

[@damian_fam0226]

I honestly DID not know you could shoot a spotting flare out of the sky like that.

[@J4MMY13]

Somthing else you can do in BFV or any Battlefield for that matter... PTFO. Honestly so many people do not do this

[@ordiz3459]

Here's a tip I learned in bf1 that also works in bf5. Soooo I often use the experimental sniper in bf1 that uses pistol ammo. It can switch to being a regular bolt action to rapid tap fire. The switching animation is actually really really long. You can be sniping but hear someone running up on you and by the time you see them your being shot at before you can switch fire types. You can actually instantly switch it by quickly double tapping weapon swap. I noticed it also works with the m1 garand in bf5 :) I'm new to battlefield in general so sorry if that wasn't very useful.

[@jrodabobo69]

Best secret I've found is switching weapons while parachuting in can allow you to use weapons and gadgets. It may be patched out by now but piat and frag grenade showers before you hit the ground are handy.

Annndddd #16 on the list is having fun. Not many people know about this special ability as developers have quickly begun phasing it out

[@The_Lone_Outlaw]

Unfortunately a “little known” thing: If you’re downed, look at the enemy who killed you and ping him until a RED icon appears. Everyone on your team can see that RED ping. So if you got killed by a camping shotgun guy and you want to notify your team/squad, stab him in the face with that RED ping until someone kills his ass. ALSO, if you got ambushed by a large group of enemies or just a very dangerous type of player who you think has flanked your team and is going to destroy them, PING HIM RAPIDLY! I’m not certain if the entire team can hear the noise of you spamming the ping, but I know your squad can. So if you wanna stop that machinegunners killstreak Dead in its tracks, SPAM THAT PING! Also, make SURE that it is the RED ping!

[@JeffTY77450]

[@MrBlaakies]

You can also reload when you jump into the water. You can crouch slide backwards. The lines on the panzerfaust while aiming can be used to judge distances at which the rocket can hit most tanks. You can go prone faster if you hold down the backwards key and crouch key at the same time. You can also teamkill in some instances where your teammate is in a vehicle that is about to explode and you destroy another vehicle near it.

[@Asealkaz]

Pro tip for mines Get a team mate to put a AT mine within the radius of the AP mine and you will dramatically increase its effectiveness. You can kill a whole squad with this or deny a building to the enemy by killing them in the process. Get creative and have fun >:) Haven’t tried this with TNT but I imagine it works the same.

[@sirsawtooth4044]

4:44 Its very hard to do accurately. But the PIAT round is basically a motor round so, one can aim strait up and arc rounds very far away. It will travel roughly 100 yards forward from a crouched position. If you can get the round in a generalized area of concentrated enemys (Buildings actually help) Multikills are common.

[@BAMRABBITWAYNE]

To be able to destroy walls and stuff with the AT Boyz u gotta equip the round bust at level 4

[@jackobrien47]

For console players you can rebind vehicle seats to individual buttons to allow you to switch to any seat you want. This works best with halftracks since you can switch to the inside mg, kill everything, then switch right back to the driver seat without exposing yourself. It also works great for the AT halftracks and sturmtigers which have different positions for different threats.
