14 DAY TRIAL // Visceral Games and Electronic Arts are launching Battlefield Hardline in North America and other parts of the world as we speak, and in order to help newcomers who're just picking up the first-person shooter, the studio shares quite a few beginner tips concerning the best modes, classes and play style for rookie players.
Battlefield Hardline may be the latest title in the long-running first-person shooter series, but it introduces quite a few new elements to the franchise recipe, while simultaneously luring in newcomers who have yet to play past titles.
In order to help those that lack of the past Battlefield experience or who missed out on the past two beta stages for Hardline, Visceral shares on the official website quite a few tips for Battlefield rookies concerning what mode, what class, or what style they should approach in the new game.
Go with Hotwire matches as an Operator
First up, in terms of the most beginner-friendly multiplayer mode, Visceral confirms that Hotwire is as basic as possible, as in this Hardline exclusive experience players must steal specially marked vehicles and drive them at high speeds around specific maps. Of course, shooting out enemies from behind the wheel or from the passenger seats is also highly recommended.
In terms of the best class for a rookie, Visceral mentions that the Operator one is quite good, as you can help keep teammates and yourself alive by deploying first aid packs.
Explore guns and gadgets, spend cash, open Battlepacks
In terms of general gameplay, Visceral mentions that players shouldn't hoard cash or battlepacks as they can be used to get new guns and gadgets, as well as extra goodies like XP boosts, weapon camos, and more.
The studio also emphasizes that players should explore their weapons and gadgets, especially the zipline or grappling hook, as they can make traversing big maps and taking down opponents much easier.
