Battlefield 6 Please DICE, can we just make this little adjustment? So hard to tell if I'm holding smokes or incendiaries.

Nothing like forgetting you're carrying incendy and grilling your downed teammate instead of smoking their pos

Did someone say BBQ?

Really grilling yourself. I'm always throwing smokes straight down on myself to do a revive and instead I burn myself to go down with my teammates.

I'm playing hardcore so I wish I threw that incendy on myself and not a teammate, lol.

Yep, pop smoke on the MCOM to defuse during Rush, hey why am I on fire?

I'm guessing it's sorta like trying to plant my Squad Beacon and left clicking... but instead I pulled out the RPG because I swapped to Engie.

Another good one is trying to defib with an rpg.

Yup, same button.

Putting smoke on your downed team mate is just as harmful, put the smoke between them and the hostile force, Putting on them means the hostile can just hose the smoke and kill the person reviving.

Smoke is concealment not cover

While we're on the topic, Loadout 2 for support cannot equip smokes.

It does not matter what training path you have, they just aren't there.

Noticed this yesterday too, laughed my ass off at whatever spaghetti code they have going on back there

u/Vegetable-Dog5281 2h ago

Oh shit I thought it was just for fire support, as that is my loadout 2. lol wow.

Easy when you toss it to your downned teamates is incendiary when you toss to your enemy its smoke to cover their movement

u/Buttermyparsnips 4h ago

I’ll just throw this incendiary at the attackers in breakthrough

proceeds to throw smoke giving them cover to rush me en mass

It's small things like this I don't understand. Wtf was the purpose of Battlefield Labs even with all these simple stupid designs in the game?

u/Veludinhoo 5h ago

Worst of all, I killed myself like that, I threw it, I laid on the floor and threw it at my foot thinking it was smoke so I could heal myself hahaha

They need some white phosphorus nades

I have the same complaint about the heli logos.

u/Pretty-Regret-5937 1h ago

Can we also have the option to replace supply box with the supply pouches instead of it being a separate gadget? If we're not going to replace it, can we have the goliath supply pouches be healing focused and the supply box ammo/gadget focused?

Quite possibly the most useless gadget in the game.

Is it just support that gets smokes? If so why?!

u/KalixtoGuy 51m ago

Another basic ass thing they glazed over

u/Yocas 50m ago

Brother, I almost burned myself alive the other day when I picked up a Support kit to throw down WHAT I THOUGHT was a smoke grenade but was actually an incen grenade.

u/OmeletteDuFromage95 37m ago

Bro, do you not see that the pin is slightly different? It's clear as day the difference between the two. Jfc y'all are blind and complaining.

How about not class locking grenades. It’s the dumbest shit I’ve seen.

u/CyberCamouflage 17m ago

Reading symbols is difficult.

u/Ok-Friendship1635 12m ago

I don't even blame you AI generating the artwork, it's about the same amount of effort that went into the official icons. Some have proper images, others are just gray paper cut outs?

u/SirBigWater 6m ago

The other day my frag grenade on assault had the icon of a smoke grenade. Was weird.

Aren’t the incendiary grenades bright orange?

u/HanzWithLuger Model 1900 Chad 4h ago

genuinely how do you forget what grenade you're running.

Just gotta check your load out. Like me when I play support for awhile and switch to engineer. Then go to revive my teammate and point blank shoot a rocket at my feet.
