Operations vs Conquest
- Operations has narrow fronts: gas grenades, the Mortar Airburst, the Lewis and MG15, medical crates and the Hellriegel Defensive gain value.
- Conquest is more open with more vehicles: mobile guns like the Burton LMR, BAR and SMGs do better, and Scouts get longer sightlines.
FAQ
What is the best gun in Battlefield 1?
The Hellriegel 1915 for Assault, the Fedorov Avtomat Trench or Selbstlader M1916 for Medic, the Lewis Gun for Support and the SMLE MKIII Marksman or Martini-Henry for Scout.
What is the sweet spot in Battlefield 1?
Most bolt-action rifles kill with one chest shot only inside a set distance band, the sweet spot. For example, the SMLE MKIII's is 40–75 m and the Gewehr 98's is 80–125 m. Pick the rifle whose band matches the map.
Which class is best for beginners in Battlefield 1?
Medic. Self-loading rifles are forgiving at mid range, and reviving teammates earns score even when you aren't getting kills.
Are there attachments in Battlefield 1?
No. Each weapon comes in variants such as Factory, Trench, Storm, Marksman or Sniper, which set the sight, bipod, magazine and sometimes the fire mode.
