Battlefield V Unsung Heroes: the Assault Grenadier gets rowdy

Battlefield V is your chance to be a World War II hero. Whether you’re strafing targets in a Spitfire soaring over the fields of France, racing to patch up wounded teammates on the barren plains and bare rock of North Africa, or silently dispatching German lookouts as a Norwegian resistance fighter on skis, DICE’s epic shooter delivers spectacular tales of courage and bravery every time you play.

You needn't be a FPS ace or strategic virtuoso to exceed expectations. Here, four distinct jobs let you play to your qualities. The ambush class is the tip of the lance, driving the accuse of quick firing rifle splash and no lack of guts; surgeons aren't a long ways behind, prepared with restoring syringes and prescription to keep partners battling fit; recon units hang back to drop adversaries from far off at the brilliant end of a powerful rifle; and when they're not restocking colleagues with ammunition packs, bolster players hazard vehicles with savage mines. Each of the four classes are fundamental.

Battlefield V isn’t merely about getting kills. It’s about serving the war effort however you can. Your rewards for doing so are historical skirmishes so intense that every fight feels purpose-built to make you the focal point of the biggest conflict in history. They’re not, of course, because everyone is the focal point.

That’s true in multiplayer, in which up to 64 players clash across eight stunning maps – spanning Dutch metropolises, French farmsteads, and Norwegian mountains – and singleplayer, where you’ll experience spirit and sacrifice through the eyes of several diverse WWII warriors.

The first in our series of Battlefield V Unsung Heroes stories concerns the assault class. Watch as our grenadier scraps with Axis forces on the mazey streets of Rotterdam, makes a death-defying leap from the top of a teetering train carriage, and has an all-too-close call with a Panzer tank.
