Should you use the RPG or the AT-Grenades? - A BF2042 Guide

Today we'll be taking a look at the new tools that engineers were given at the start of season 5, the RPG-7V2 and the Anti-Tank Grenade.
I'll be letting you know whether they are worth using or just more fluff for you to ignore while you use your M5 Recoilless. And finally letting you know what I think the best Anti-Tank loadout is! If you don't like what I am saying, then at least enjoy the clips :)

As a tank driver, the RPG seems to be more effective. I won't let you fire all of your M5 shots at me anyway, but the RPG often surprises me with its damage. Especially when two shots hit close within a short time, it often gets you killed when you expect you can tank a shot or two.

[@marzipandan767]

I feel like most people are still using the M5, so it works out for us tank drivers :) But I definitely think the RPG is the best choice. Glad to have your agreement from the other side of things!

[@NAVYPROUD34]

I disagree. I feel that it’s far easier to kill RPG users because well it’s inferior because of the two rounds ammo. I can APS one or both shots completely negating their attempt to kill me. 81 damage with recoilless is far better than 70 too. And I can shoot aircraft without dusting them.

[@TheSoldierChristian]

​@@NAVYPROUD34that's if they don't have a support stacking up with them.

[@marzipandan767]

I guess it comes down to whether you want to spend more time to get the kill in order to prevent this from happening. Usually, the first shot will go through without being APS'd. Then you can reload and wait to see when you have the opening in the APS before firing your second. I really do think it's a better choice than the M5. The speed which I can solo kill vehicles has greatly increased from my previous M5 setup. The slower you are, the more opportunities vehicles have to retreat and repair up.

[@cliftondavis2028]

True,I don't have the stats to back it up,but the RPG seems to be more destructive.I did not get into the "debate" under fire,until a guy took out my apc 1hit.I must have been a little weak,but I said "damn that rpg didn't play".I use it now instead of the M5,but,I'm a bit slow with my aim,so as has been stated,I get a lot of cheap deaths lining up a good shot( maximum effect).My "quick scope "game needs work also!I've shot the hell out of the ground,and boulders,but got no points for it!And as a gentleman said earlier,armor should not be a 1 man takeout,except mines!PS all you armor killers,why not soften up more with emp grenades? All they can do is run,once hit!

I just want to say I appreciate these videos. I know most of this info because I put a bunch of time into the game but it is always nice to watch these and then send them to some of my friends who are new to the series. Thanks again.

[@marzipandan767]

Thanks man! I appreciate you saying so and sharing the video, it really helps :)

[@Albus_Rex]

Another good thing to do is play Boris over crawford if you're doing close range AT work. The sentry gun will often cause a tank to waste a shell on it, and can easily get good damage in before it's destroyed. Plus when you play Boris, you blend in with all the bad/new players and people might underestimate you.

[@marzipandan767]

"Plus when you play Boris, you blend in with all the bad/new players and people might underestimate you." - Thats some big brain thinking right there xD Honestly, I use Crawford's repair perk more than I would use any other ability Crawford or Boris have. But I agree and I did mention this in my engineer guide, having it take some shots for you is pretty good.

[@timelessgamer_UK]

Great vid! I'm enjoying the RPG (especially the splash damage you pointed out against Infantry & Dozers). I've been enjoying it with the AT Grenade, but the latter is more for the fun /novelty of it rather than genuine utility. I am too wedded to my EMP grenade when playing Eng. I also really appreciate the point you make about vehicle hunting being a team effort & you should take that into consideration when assessing the RPG vs M5. Also agree that the RPG is the harder to use due to the aggressive projectile drop. For me that just adds to the satisfaction when you do get the hit!

[@marzipandan767]

I can definitely take or leave the AT Grenade, but throwing it for the finish feels powerful, I can't explain it xD I'm a little nervous about the 'engineer changes' they mentioned in the upcoming season 6. I am worried they are just going to give everyone twice as many rockets and make being a vehicle an absolute nightmare. Thanks for commenting timeless! I appreciate your support as always :)

[@cliftondavis2028]

I carry emps as a medic also,to take advantage FOR engineers! When I see them moving in on armor,I toss one and watch the drivers bail out of fear of what's about to happen!!Or an anti tank grenade,that "feeling of power" is real!!

[@LD-sx9pr]

Been enjoying the RPG and AT nade combo for a no fuss Tank hunter kit. It’s weird that for a while the portal RPGs were changed to be like the 2042 one that same update. Sad the Javelin fell out of relevancy because the LOS change and it suffers from issues for all lockons since launch; being lock on time varies, foliage blocks lockons and hard to keep a lock on moving targets A funny meme strat with the Jav I made was emp nades with a Jav. Idea was emp stops the vehicle from shooting or using countermeasures and then the Jav locks on. I gotten a few destroyed vehicles with that method but you can have a few times where they run away before you can land another missile, the emp wears off, they run you over or you get third parties before you can launch the missile

[@cliftondavis2028]

That's when the "help"taking out armor is most needed!You really should not be able to Rambo a tank except in rare instances.Tanks running after being hit by emp ,is just as funny as players running from Boris! Good thing there is no team kill😂🤣

[@marzipandan767]

They are both great. If you aren't already, I would strongly recommend using the AP underbarrel as it is the true MVP. Did the RPG in portal not have a scope at one point? Or am I getting my BF games mixed up?

[@marzipandan767]

@@cliftondavis2028 I agree, they should be hard to take out and should be mostly up to a team effort. But I do like that option that if you play everything perfectly you can solo vehicles :) so it comes down to skill.

@@marzipandan767 The BC2 RPG has a scope. before the update the BF3 RPG was more like a diet SMAW but better splash and slower rockets and the BC2 was a scoped laser Oddly Enough, but now all 3 behave the same with 2 spawning ammo and have same damage profile, which is odd DICE never mentioned changing the portal RPGs in any way.

[@sean8375]

this is the best in depth channel on 2042 the videos are super informative. personally ive gotten pretty used to running lis + c5 and the underbarrel ap grenade attachment. the rpg + AT grenade + ap grenade combo seems like a downgrade to me especially when i cant have smoke grenades. it takes a long time to rpg, throw at, and ap grenade a vehicle and i found myself dying before i had an opportunity to complete the kill.

[@marzipandan767]

Thanks! I'm glad that you have been enjoying the content! I don't like relying on C5 as much as most players in BF2042. I feel like it gets me killed more than I am successful with it. The AT grenades aren't necessary, as long as you have the AP underbarrel you will be set. I do still take smoke from time to time, since it is so valuable. I can't fault you for taking Lis, her kit has the most variety of all of the engineers since she has a launcher as her ability. But I do think that the increased damage that the RPG brings makes dealing with ground armour much easier than with Lissiles. Especially if you don't intend (or more likely can't) to use your C5 of AT Mines.

[@exponentialbuilds4854]

Crawford mini-gun is also great at finishing off vehicles at low health 👍

[@marzipandan767]

I agree, I usually bust it out if I'm completely out of everything and a vehicle is low around me. It's also pretty effective at chasing off choppers that are flying low! Thanks for the comment!

[@cliftondavis2028]

And good at getting you sniped! My only real gripe about Crawford,the minute you set up,snipers start to lick their lips! 💪🏾.I like to antitank Crawford out,use his engineer ability,and carry a lmg with under barrel AP,and burst the mini gun,drop down and continue the destruction with an lmg,before popping back up.Risky, but more satisfying than waiting on a sniper to get your "range",while holding down the mini gun trigger.We all hate snipers😡

[@SaintC1981]

I've been burned by a few too many AT grenades that just bounced off. I look forward to them fixing them in the future though.

They are both great for blowing ish up!! RPG is devastating,don't miss tho'!AT grenades were surprisingly destructive,but both need to be able to carry more ammo!

[@marzipandan767]

Personally, I think the current number is fine, but I know that I am in the minority with that opinion. I like vehicles being a struggle to take out for individuals, and instead needing to be dealt with by a team effort. I think Dice said that they plan to look into engineers in season 6. We'll see what they end up deciding with. Hopefully they've done their testing xD Thanks for commenting!

[@MrEssexRay]

regarding the cav brawler, i recall its description in-game saying it takes less damage from c5

[@MrEssexRay]

which also means a full health cav brawler will need more than 3x c5 to kill

[@marzipandan767]

This is what people are telling me. I honestly haven't noticed this before since I don't typically use C5 a lot. Thanks for the information :) It helps out a lot!

[@RomikAbi]

Great video! I tried both on release and didn't have a good time at all, RPG damage increase over M5 felt negligible and not worth the downsides, and the grenade bounced off more often than not. But I will for sure put some more time in them now

[@Goldendroid]

The grenade got patched to stop bouncing off, it wasn’t intended.

[@marzipandan767]

At first the RPG didn't impress me too much either but once I started consistently hitting my shot it became much more interesting. Having that extra damage done can count so much towards even just helping your team finish them off. The AT Grenade was infuriating xD It should be patched now as @Goldendroid mentioned.

[@camper5579]

Ive been using the at grenades after they came in the game and its nice to have another grenade that actually makes it difficult to choose what to use

[@marzipandan767]

More choice is always a good thing. Except when they released the flashbang... That might have actually just been a waste of resources xD

[@Mr4bangor]

Great content ..does it make any difference where you hit the vehicles regarding damage ?

[@marzipandan767]

Absolutely, you can see in the damage numbers I have front, side/top, and rear. For most vehicles, the rear will do more damage, and the front will do less with the side and top doing a middle amount. A good example is that when you are fighting a MBT, you should always aim for the turret instead of the front since you'll get more damage done.

[@bakedmomo5693]

holy we have the same loadout. indeed, GREATER MINDS think alike 👍👍

[@marzipandan767]

You must be tearing through armour just like me then :) Thanks for commenting!

[@Mark_Williams.]

I think I prefer the EMP grenades to the anti tank. Hitting them with an EMP first stops them healing or shooting between rocket and grenade launcher reloads . You can literally stand in front of them as you reload and they can't do anything other than hop out to gun you, opening it up for you to steal.

[@marzipandan767]

That's fair! Usually, when I'm hit with an EMP, I'll pull back since I can't do anything anyway. But you are right, not being able to deploy APS is really significant.

[@AlexT0210]

I would like if you explain the various lock on sounds. I'm talking about how some lock ons beep and another sounds kind of like a horn. I never know what the difference is.

[@marzipandan767]

I think I know what you are illuding too, but just to be safe let me confirm that you know this: Usually if it is beeping, it will be when the lock is being applied, in this case you will see the words 'Lock on Warning'. You should not flare/countermeasure at this point. Once the lock is secured the enemy can hold it until for as long as they have you in sight and range, the beeping will turn to a constant drone and the text 'Lock on Warning' will turn red. You should STILL NOT flare/countermeasure at this point. Then the noise will turn to a dashing beep and the text will read 'Incoming Missile', this means that they have fired the missile and it is travelling towards you. This is when you should flare. This way they waste the missile. Rarely (and I mean really rarely) you will hear the 'other' lock on sound. I have no idea what causes it. Initially I thought it might be if you are soflammed but I've definitely been soflammed and not heard it. The beeping from the initial 'Lock on Warning' is a much higher pitched. The same rules apply, only wait until you see the 'Missile Incoming' Hope this helps!

[@ghost_sniper0022]

Man I really wanted to use the RPG but it always seems like it dusts like 50% of my shots on air vehicles. It really is a deal breaker for me :/

[@marzipandan767]

I have had more dustings with the RPG than I have with the M5, but it is never enough that I wouldn't use it. Most of my rockets end up hitting ground armour either way so the tradeoff is worth it for me. But I completely understand your frustration. It's rage inducing having your well-placed shot go unrewarded :/

Do you know if SOFLAM + RPG is near hit-scan like SOFLAM + M5 is?

[@marzipandan767]

From what I've gathered, the M5 moves faster than the RPG, but both are still much faster than any of the other launchers (Stinger and Javelin). If you see you are soflammed and you see that second lock on being acquired, have your finger over that flare button, and the second the lock is launched hit it. Otherwise, you'll be absolutely demolished. You can't safely wait like what you can with stingers. Thanks for the support Cabal :)

[@FrostiFurWhyler]

I agree, Javelin is pretty useless compared to the other launchers. It should be able to lock onto things without line of sight so long as they are painted.

[@Bugfield2042]

not onto helis though. Finding cover on some of those maps is already hard enough as it is.

[@damienmcdonald7610]

Lock on missiles in general are fairly useless. When I'm in a vehicle usually they're more annoying than dangerous and only ever manage to kill me if I'm in a Heli dogfighting another Heli whilst someone on ground targets me with the fxm but unfortunately if I turn and run the other aircraft would kill me. For this reason if I'm in a Heli after the first few minutes when a bunch of infantry switch to their lock on crutches I make sure to lure other pilots out of their range

[@damienmcdonald7610]

@@Bugfield2042 depends on most maps I find pretty decent cover the hardest maps to play helis are Caspian border and reclaimed for me. Reclaimed because of that aa in the centre that has crazy range and dps which is fine if I know an enemy is on it but even when you destroy it, it comes back not long after, typically when you're looking the other way. Caspian border just because there's so much tree cover for ground targets to hide in but not much for you to get behind. On those maps honestly I prefer playing ground vehicles or infantry

@@Bugfield2042 Honestly I don't think it would be as much of an issue as you think. You can still flare missiles locked while you are tagged, and the javelin travels really slow. As long as you aren't keeping yourself in a soflam sights, which you won't if you are finding cover, you'll be fine.

[@Kevin89866]

Does the AT grenade have the same mechanic as bfv where if C5 is on the tank and you use the AT it does more damage combined?

[@marzipandan767]

I don't think it's just the AT grenade that does this. If you have C5 on you and anything hits it, it will detonate and do the full damage that the C5 does if it was detonated. If you get stuck, but manage to kill the enemy who deployed them, you need to get out and take them off of the vehicle otherwise the next blast that triggers them will kill you. If you've ever been in a tank and have been destroyed by a pistol, this is what players do, attach the C5 then shoot it with the pistol, it will come up in the feed as if your tank was destroyed by a pistol xD Good question! Thanks for asking :)

Annoyingly my unlock for the rpg seems bugged.

It's definitely harder without dedicated ammo but given how much you die on average in this game, it usually quite easy to come back with (almost) full ammo.

Also, if you see a teammate throwing down a bunch of ammo around the map call them out in the chat. The more we promote this good gameplay, the more others will see this and hopefully start to do the same.

Sadly underbarrel launcher are worse on consoles because you have down on the dpad. I wish I could make it press for underbarrel and hold for select fire.

[@marzipandan767]

Sorry, I'm maybe not understanding here. You have to press down on the DPad to get the underbarrel out? On PC, you can obviously bind it wherever. I'm not sure why developers don't allow such freedoms on console. It's not like it could be that difficult since the same system is already set up for the PC :/

I do, yes! But my question is should you use them or the alternatives. Not should you use one or the other.

@@marzipandan767 ah Okay. Can you make a Boris vs Crawford guide soon? For vehicle damage? Their main gadgets i mean.

Great video, accurate coverage. DICE, you have a lot of money. I, myself, can pick apart your knowledge of firearms and how ballistics and explosives work. To be clear, I am not an expert. But why not hire a weapons/tactics specialist from the veteran community? I’m not a veteran but gosh dang it, y’all made an abomination to your franchise with 2042. Get back to being a fun, casual shooter that rewards tactics over button mashing hysterics

Thanks for saying so! I appreciate you commenting. I really hope that they take what they learned from this BF into the next. Whenever a new one comes out as of late, they seem to forget everything they learned from the previous iteration.

It's effective but it was way better in BF4.

[@marzipandan767]

Oh absolutely, but you had so many more rounds then. Here if you miss, then you probably won't be able to solo them.

@@marzipandan767 Back then, sometimes, two RPGs was enough - in the engine of a tank, from directly behind. Has way better range in BF4, too. Anyway, it's worth a go, for sure.

[@marzipandan767]

@@alanconway94 Oh yeah, I definitely recall two hitting MBTs with the rear shots with the RPG in BF4. I was kind of surprised the same wouldn't happen in BF2042.

Buff the RPG

[@marzipandan767]

Nah, it's good xD Soloing vehicles is easy with it. Take Crawford, and take every opportunity to get to an ammo crate to get to 4 rounds. Most vehicles can only take 3 rounds from the RPG. Having an AT grenade or AP underbarrel grenade launcher makes soloing vehicles even easier.

[@chadcheese5471]

@@marzipandan767 not wrong but recoilless and AT grenades work better for me
