#BFV
1. Use KE7
2. Unlock MG34
3. Max MG34
4. Play
5. Unlock MG42
6. Max MG42
7. Profit
Bartosz Szulc use FG-42,
Exactly my plan!
This plan works until they Nerf the mmg.
ahh, we're banging on all cylinders now
@@ashtraysonsundays4274 hope they dont, I havent unlocked MG 42, but Im shredding with MG 34
As of writing this I have over a 100 hrs in BFV and I have over 2 days of playtime on the support class alone and here is my take on things:
Support guide from a support player.
Weapons :
1. The KE7 is a great overall weapon that can be used for both attack and defence. Its got great accuracy and low recoil so you can take most fights and be the victor. The only downside to this gun is that the ammo capacity is low with only 25 in the mag so pick your fights carefully.
2. The MG34 is a easy to control and fairly accurate MMG which should be used on defence only as its fire rate wont allow you to even try to take on 1v1 fights. Specialise its accuracy and how long you can fire it for.
3. The 12G is bloody great for defence and offence, anyone in very close range will be shot dead without them even having a chance however don't go past very close range as you'll only annoy enemies and give away your position. I'd advise to specialise the left side as you'll get more ammo and more punch per shot.
4. The Bren gun is the supports most accurate LMG (I think so anyway) It might fire slow but with a 3 times scope and all specked into accuracy you'll be able to have a DMR like weapon that will be able to annoy enemy snipers and keep people at bay from attacking your objectives. Try to specialise its accuracy over anything else and learn tap fire with this weapon.
5. The Lewis gun is the middle ground LMG its good on both attack and defence but you must stick in that middle engagement range in order to get the most out of the Lewis gun as it doesn't fire fast enough or do enough damage at range. Its easy to control so specialise it how you want.
6. The M30 Drilling is a brilliant weapon for accurate and not so accurate players who play in close-mid combat. I advise only using it on defence as its got a very limited ammo capacity however anything that is in your sights should be killed in one shot. Plus the rifle shot is great at medium distance to get a quick 60dmg on most targets.
7. The FG42 is the supports best aggressive weapon (in my opinion) as you can deal with most medics and assault with little to no problem as long as its you that shoots first. However at anything past close to very mid range you're simply going to lack the power to kill anyone at medium ranges without having to reload and try again.
8. The MG42 is highly versatile being able to play both aggressively and offensively. If you decided that you want fire rate over ammo capacity then you'll be able to beat most enemies when pushing an objective. If you decide that you want ammo capacity over RPM then you'll have 250 rounds to put into anyone who attacks your objective. This gun has a lot of vertical and horizontal recoil so its best to use the Machine Gunner role in order to fire for longer and with more control and accuracy.
Playstyle :
Play to your weapons strength all the time, if you have the Engineer role be sure to stay near friendly tanks and keep infantry off them whilst keeping their tank repaired.
Don't get too cocky against medic classes at close range as they and snipers are your worst enemy when your pants are down.
Build Ammo crates and Medical crates on objectives for your team and place mines down where traffic is most popular or save them for when you need to get up to a tank.
If you have the machine gunner role play behind your team but also whilst in font of your snipers as you need to suppress and spot the enemy whilst providing suppressive fire for your team. Focus the objectives so that you can maximise the use your of role.
P.S I'm not great at writing in general so sorry if things don't make sense or if you see any errors.
Dwevy what a virgin. The ke7 is all you need.
@@gryphoncortor8096 What a helpful comment on a comment that I left on a video that is meant to be a helpful support guide.
@@Dwevy he's stupid. your post was very in depth and helpful.
thank you. i read the entire thing and screenshot it for when i unlock the later weapons. cheers
@@dizzle2212 Hope it helps man and have fun :)
0:15 that kill was brutal
🤣🤣
Anyone else annoyed by the long loading times when exiting a game to the main menu?
I timed it, and it is 15 seconds quicker to use taskmanager to end the BF5 proces and re-launch the game..
Stefs Engineering no, could be my ssd
Read and write speed are both around 560mb/s
Samsung 860 evo 1TB btw
@@seppalastname4574 Well my hardware isn't the issue, got it installed on my 2TB NVME (960 pro has 3500MB/s read and 2100MB/s write)
You must have played BF1; it took 1-2 minutes to quit in that game
@@benparsons4979 I did, in that game I used the same method to exit a round. ctrl+shift+esc Select BF1 (or in this case BF5) and click "end task"
@@StefsEngineering lol; that is dumb
I just LOVE the support class in this game. There's nothing better than setting up on an objective and just cutting down the enemy team as they dare cross my path
Not sure what you're talking about. I find the Bren to be one of the best guns the support has, especially once it's upgraded. It's incredibly accurate and powerful. Also with a medium or long range scope it's perfect for killing/surpressing snipers.
Agreed its laser accuracy is what I fell in love with once you learn how to use it you can do some serious damage. I joined mid match and found myself at the number one spot on the board. I think alot of the guns most people dont like turn out to be the best because you have to really learn how to use them!
Ironic that the FG42 is notable for its recoil, whereas in real life it is actually unusually controllable.
Not a surprise, but amusing.
FG 42 has the most recoil out of all lmgs in the game and lvlcap says the exact same thing at around 8 mins soo...?
@@kemaltanvardarl1834 Yes. I know. I'm saying it is amusing that it has high recoil in the game, but not in real life.
@@jameshenderson4876 Oh ok. It does have higher recoil compared to, say, the bren gun tho
@@kemaltanvardarl1834 th-cam.com/video/XouWRwFPMvU/w-d-xo.html
Still a surprisingly controllable gun on full auto. I have never seen a Bren fired full auto from the shoulder, and with a. 303 round I would expect would have fairly fierce recoil - but it does indeed have a reputation as an accurate weapon.
same with mp40. easy af to shoot and learn real life, doodoo ingame
Love this game already, just got it this morning and can't stop playing
Wich skins did you take?
I went with the fallschirmjager, the SSer (or in-game luftlandetruppe) and the desert commando
Im about to buy the game too
Its addicting
Shen Dynasty so should I buy it?
Is it bad as everybody are saying?
@@danielfaris4639 ive just played for first game, first impression sniping and plane gameplay is fire🔥🔥
The Bren works wonders on snipers with the 3x scope attached
Mario Eckert this man knows what’s up, in the beta I was absolutely obliterating snipers with the Bren
I just use the AA sights, enough zoom to see the snipers but not so much it hinders at close range.
Honestly find the higher magnification options pointless most of the time, why limit my situational awareness any more than I need to? Especially when I'm dealing with snipers, they like sticking together as loose groups, if you see one there's probably 2 or 3 more not far from his position.
@@GremlinSciences
It's not bad at all for hip fire, depends on your specializations but yeah I'd recommend a aa scope or long range.
The Bren gun is currently my favourite, I usually push an objective by using bipod at long range then move in, I’ve actually got it so I can kill effective without bipod but not it’s strongest suit.
Thing is a laser once upgraded.
0:09 when ur a guitarist b4 u got drafted in the army
Says he hasn't tried slugs
Complains about range
i tried the slugs and it really does suck. 3 rounds in a row i only got 10 kills or under in domination because the slugs don't always kill in 1 hit, and the recoil won't help you in range. You even have to hit an enemy 3 times with a slug to kill them when shooting at over 50 meters. I then tried the other tree and instantly got 30+ kills 5 rounds in a row. Slugs haven't been that good in BF games.
kasper bennetsen back in... uhm... BF3... maybe it was 4... slugs could almost be used as snipers (at least for i while)... they were powerful precise weapons...
But since then slugs seems to have been all crap in Battlefield games
@@LordCrisp bad company 2, bf3, and 4 all had beast slugs. They've always been a little shoddy hit detection wise but basically iron sight snipers. Bf1 was the first time I felt like the slugs were off.
ColdMetalz I remember in BFBC2 the crosshairs while using slugs overlapped into a tiny pinpoint plus sign
@@kasperbennetsen6302 Slugs and shotguns in general were great in BF1. I've had plenty of times in BF1 where I could slug a sniper even if he got the first shot. BFV I can get the first shot close range and still lose to any class.
i would love to see a complete guide to planes! Or a breakdown of the different types of planes and their strong points vs weak points.
These videos in the beginning back from bf4 is what made me sub! Love these I recommend Scout or Medic next?
As a long time support player since BF3 and about to get BFV, this was pretty helpful. Thanks LC.
The Lewis gun is a beast. I’ve been looking for a jack-of-all trades gun since launch and I think it fits that mold quite well.
Was highly skeptical coming into BFV, but I'm loving it so far. Been playing the hell out of support, so I'm glad to hear your opinions, Level. Keep up the great work :)
I’ve been using the MG42 with recoil buffer, light bolt, flashless propellant, and quick reload and i honestly prefer that loadout to extended belt, chrome lining. While the EB/CL loadout is good for drawn out defensive engagements and suppression spotting, i felt it was leading to me getting killed more because I wouldn’t be afraid to lay down overwhelming fire with those pesky tracers and muzzle flash leading my enemies right to my position.
Light bolt has in my opinion made close quarters hipfire engagements much easier, because you can absolutely rip through 2-3 foes as long as you have decent recoil control. Plus the reduction in muzzle flash helps to keep you a bit more concealed. Because you’ll mostly be using the buzzsaw while bipoded, it’s easy to duck behind whatever you’re using as a mounting point, slap in a new 50 round belt and get back to work thanks to quick reload.
The only downside to this loadout is your limited engagement distance. The insane 1200 round per minute fire rate makes it IMPOSSIBLE to engage targets at longer ranges because even while bipoded the recoil is tremendous. While burst firing can help with this, it’s still a challenge to land hits in longer midrange to long distance engagements.
All in all, I think you’ll also enjoy this loadout if you’re not afraid to lug your buzzsaw into the heat of battle.
Lewis Gun with a 3x scope, quick aim, ported barrel, barrel bedding and recoil buffer makes it a fucking beast. The Lewis gun is my favorite lmg atm.
The KE7 is absolutely amazing. I win at least 90% of my firefights with it, more than any other gun in the game. If you have good reactions and can aim for the torso/head specifically, you will be unstoppable at any range, even when your opponent gets the drop on you.
Thanks for the rundown LevelCap. Great gun/class information and a huge help.
Boy this some great education. Wow holographic scopes, that makes so much sense considering the time period this game takes place.
They took my favorite shotgun from BF1 and put a rifle on it too. Im in love.
My fav feature is just the 'advanced' option when looking for a game, can pick a server myself instead of having it quickmatch me. Always worried w/shooters these days that i won't have that feature, very glad its there. Not so much an issue while the game is new and there's a million games of every time going on all the time, but its a must have feature as the game ages or when you're looking to do a specific assignment or when you are playing with a large group of people.
just waiting for the test range + panzerstorm + few fixes and later the battle royale and this game will be on fire
Dec 3-6 tides of war 1
-panzerstorm
-firerange
-other epic thingies
Lucky Strike The test range is basically an area of the game where you can practice your tank combat, plane combat, and infantry combat. It helps to use it when you are new to the game.
cant wait for the BR :) sitting in a bush with my MG42 and win the entire match with 2sec burst fire :D
Should of been done before release
Thought Panzerstorm was shit!?
Fellas! BFV is actually really good! I was one of the people who was reluctant at first, but I’ve played it and it’s fantastic!
silentact1 I can’t tell if you’re serious or not, but I’m going to go with what you are saying and say FINALLY, someone in this comment section that doesn’t make an overused joke or blindly hates on the game!
@Lukas Antonius That tinfoil u got on is looking pretty tight mate.
CoasterFan 2018 Not joking around it’s seriously good. There’s a couple of bugs here and there, but they’ve significantly improved it since the beta, which I hated
I got it today and it was good for the hour I got to play on it, i dont think the graphics and reload animations are as good as BF1 but the gameplay was good.
My brother is the biggest BF fanboy and every time i see him play he seems so disappointed lmao
I would recommend fully unlocking the MG34 if you're leveling support. You'll only use the gun situationally, but it will tear up enemies in medium range chokepoint situations in breakthrough.
Once I unlocked the mg42 I havnt used anything else lol all gold within the day. Its just insane
I haven’t seen many people talking about the uniforms you get for completing the mastery challenges. Ill tell you the german sets cause i dont know the brits. Assault is silver dagger, support is hades, recon is canis horibillis, and medic is veiled threat.
Otto von Bismarck Hey, thanks man. Really appreciate it. Figured support would be Hades glad im right/
British uniforms: Assault: Scottish Play, Medic: Holy Ghost, Support: Hazardous Conditions, and Recon is Union Jacked.
#1 Battlefield TH-camr for anything, always 👌🏾
The MMGs are some of my favorite machine guns from WWII. It makes me sad I can't run and gun like I did in BF4 : , (
All you have to do is just find a place to set your bipod in hall way were enemys frequently use and have fun!
toast boast It’s not the same. That type of play style is completely different from mine. I just hope that when the next bf comes out it’s either modern or Vietnam so I can use guns that don’t look like a stove pipe.
With the MG34, I use the right side of the specialisation, because of 33% less heat and a fast reloadable magazine!
In the MG42 I used the same tree, but used faster reloading at the last point! Its my most favourite gun! Its so much fun, defending Positions with this Monster! It honors the MG42!
excellent video looming forward to other classes and specialization weapons
The KE-7 is actually god-tier. It's only downside is the small mag and long reload, but i love the reload animation so i dont ever mind reloading
This was really helpful, especially since I haven't devoted much time to the support class yet.
Get the FG 42. That's what you need to know.
Nee...Die ist verbugt
you have to lay down or prop up on something to aim. Terrible weapon unless you like lying around and getting easy kills. Takes no skills
KineticUncertainty maybe you just don’t know how to use it lol. I have great success with this weapon at all ranges without needing to rely on the bipod
Loving the gunplay in this game, and I have no complaints about all the free WW1 guns being added, but it would be nice to have a few more proper WW2 guns in, just to make the setting feel more grounded. But I'm sure they'll come further down the line!
3:06 Those smoke effects look sweet. I prayed that the LMG's will be good.I use LMG's in almost every shooter i play even if its not the best weapon in the game.
JackFrags did one for Assault. Obviously Stodeh will be who we trust for the Scout. Just need StoneMountain to do a Medic one and we’re set!
Thanks for making the other classes guide
I was #7 in the world for AWS in BF4 on xbox for awhile. I ran it with smoke, claymore and airburst. Often used IR scope pre-nerf. I was a one-man army and flanker bc of the large mag. It was also a very accurate gun even at longer ranges. What loadout and custom tree choices might help me with this sort of hyper aggressive yet unconventional/circumventional play in BF5?
Charles Mallory you’d like the Lewis gun
Great Video Level Cap, Do I need a >60 Hrz Monitor to be competitive?
the 12g shotgun with slugs is amazing! Great for close range and with slugs you can get those farther kills
Devs told they were taking aim assist auto rotation out of consoles but still there.
Yeah I know right? What is with the lies?
Aim assist has been significantly reduced though and is more of a buffer to create fluent firefights than a crutch for position mismanagement
Wouldn’t bother me. I’ve been playing R6 siege for the 2 1/2 years and that game has zero aim assist and guns have a lot of recoil. I turned my aim assist of on bf5 because it takes me off my target sometimes when there are multiple enemies.
@@ppppsssshhhh71 the problem is people using against us I mean on consoles guys are killing extremely easy because of this
I think it might be the fast ttk that makes it feel that way. Although, I wish they would take aim assist out of all FPS games on console. I think it’s a crutch for bad players but I’m not having issues killing people in bf5.
Do you think it's possible for you to do a video explaining the various purchase options of Battlefield V?
PLAY THE M30 DRILLING it's a ton of fun. The most satisfying weapon in the game. Outsniping recons with a shotgun. Although the hipfire lethal range can be kinda ridiculous.
The bren gun is actually really good if your playstyle allows it
Just got into the game today, and this guide helps a lot, but I find myself struggling HARD with the tanks in game. It seems like you just get spammed by Anti Tank weapons and there's nothing you can do to avoid being swarmed unless you just sit back. I used to be really good with the tanks in BF3 and BF4... but at least with the Valentine I'm having an abysmal time, especially since the 2 Pdr main gun has a painfully small splash radius.
When you rock tanks. You NEED a squad with you to keep the assault wasps off you. You cannot expect to barrel into a fight without them. If you play with casuals you might get away with it. I know personally me and my friends make it our mission to destroy tanks as soon as they appear so they cant get the drop on our idiotic teammates. And when we see our own tanker coming through we protect it like its got a hot payload and let it do work.
Its all about teamwork with tanks. Wether you are guarding or destroying.
i think the shotguns are the best weapons for the support class. I got the 12g to the max level in no time and the drilling straight up destroys people at any distance
im a fan of the bren. when you lay down with the right upgrades its like a laser
Wouldn't the Slugs in the 12gauge be good to try since you didn't like the range of the shot? I haven't gotten to try it yet, but that's usually what the slugs are good for.
I feel like there is a lot of early war guns that they missed out on for Britain and Germany, hopefully the next update will add a lot more, same with vehicles
The lewis gun is the gun i like more in BFV yesterday just got the golden skin :D It is a powerfull gun in the right hands is almost half track an MMG - LMG i have almost the same upgrade tree but i choosed the better bypod and it is almost a laser!!! Plus the M30 drilling is powerfull but its a bit buggy, the sights some times go crazy and you cant aim properly but it will be fixed!!!
if you take the 1200 rounds upgreade you can easaly outguny anyone from the hip in close distance and in long range but youll constantly reload it just like the real gun
The support class in this game is perfect
Can you mix and match progression ? Or is it locked like paths once you start an upgrade ?
I think the third choice is locked to your second choice. So you can mix n max. Because first and fourth choice are mix up. The second choice forces the third.
My problem with the m30 drilling is that if i switch to the rifle mode, i have to switch back to shotgun mode before i can swap to my sidearm. It has gotten me killed more than a few times when some one runs around the corner and i can't get to a gun fast enough to react.
Please do this kind of video for Assault next!
Im starting to get a grip on the game. I used to run around alone and kill everyone in BF1 but this game is so much slower! I need to adjust my play style and play a little bit slower and get a good squad.
Wasted so much company coin getting the blued finish for my beloved MG42. Lol. I love that gun
Hmm seems the recoil of the FG-42 is for balancing as a real FG doesn't kick a huge amount compared to other weapons of similar type. Forgotten Weapons has one such video of Ian firing one and complementing the weapon :P
Bren and x3 scope is beast.
I thought the MMG’s were called MOUNTED machine guns... as in they have to be mounted on an object via the bipod.. I’m just curious as to where “medium” machine gun came from
The 12G is actually the spas 12 of bf3 👌
Can you change the perk tree for guns or are your choices set for the rest of the game?
'MG42 is significantly worse when you first get it'.
Honestly I wouldn't even say that. I got to level 4 with it so quick I hardly noticed it was not good. Then I upgraded it and became god.
Also I was able to get a 10 kill streak by running and gunning with it today.
Great video! Please do more On other classes
I wish they’d make the mg34 and mg42 have their true rate of fire. Even upgraded the mg34 is no where near it’s true rare of fire of 900rpm. And the only way to get the 1200 rpm of the mg42 is to neglect the extended belt and that’s basically a necessity
I love the Bren, I dropped a 79 kill game with it in Operations
ohhh damn thats going to be a long road to the mg42
as one who spent considerable time with both guns, i would never pick the fg42 over the ke7
Im so close to unlocking the m30 drilling can't wait.
I usually hate shotguns as I prefer versatility, so I was blown away by the drilling. Easily my favourite gun.
Seriously, the drilling on Kjell wrecks... play it defensively, then just line up shots to the brain pan...
Great video thank you can you make another one for scout class
They fixed the m30 not being able to weapon switch when on the rifle round but now it seems i can't change fire mode whilst reloading. This is quite bad for the m30, i hope this is not intented and gets fixed soon
If TheRussianBadger has taught me anything it’s that the M30 Drilling is an absolute beast of a gun
Can you manually place the bipod like you could in bf4 ? , i love playing support but right now i don't rly see a difference when aiming prone or not
Keep it up bro
Lewis Gun Forever 😩😍😍🤜🏿🤛🏿
You Killed me at 8:50 LMAO!!
I keep finding myself going back to the Drilling shotgun, 1-2 shots up close - med distance and a goddamn sniper mode xD
When you respec a weapon does it allow you to get the other side of the tree for free?
I think what you said about the bren gun being bad in head-to-head firefights isn't true at all. I get into several face to face encounters with the bren gun with the 3x lee enfield scope on it and it's so sexy how well it performs. It's almost as good as the KE7. Also excited to see how the Lewis gun performs, if the game will ever let me fucking unlock it
Plz do a recon all weapons guide!
can you review the medic class?
I know this may sound stupid but how do you get the weapon skin thats has the cross are axis symbol
would like to see the same style video for the tanks and airplanes.
Bayonette charge on the fg-42 is so gratifying.
Netcode so bad that any weapon I use gives me like 5 to 7 hit markers
Maybe your internet is poop because it feels good for me and a lot of the people I play with. Coming from veteran BF players. Not saying it's perfect buts it's not bad at all. BTW most guns take 5 to 6 shots to kill lol
I love dumping half an LMG mag into a person getting insta killed by an SMG or one of the semi auto assault rifles then seeing that they still have 30+ health. It's fucking awesome.
@@bangbang51211 yea man I know what you mean they just need to work on the netcode a little more and it will make it an awesome experience
The lack of BAR and M1919A6 makes me sad America isn’t represented a bit more with some of their most iconic MG’s of the war. Maybe in a future DLC I suppose.
I think thats their planning. Adding America and Soviet stuff over DLC.
Those are most likely gonna be added when tides of war gets to the Americans, DICE already has the M1918A2 BAR modelled
Damn I was wrong about the game! It took me a couple of matches to get use the feeling and set my settings for the best frames but this game is amazing! It really doesn’t feel like bf1 not even close. The TTK is really fast idk if it’s just me but I like it though
love your vids
Turn the Bren into a sniper counter with the 3x. beast. currently my favorite.
Map design is tacticool. Good cover that you can engage enemies the way you want to...without having to spray bullets over an open field and hope the enemy runs into your bullets willingly. Id say map design alone is on par if not better than bfbc2.
I personally like the Bren due to the iconic points and accuracy...
I was in disbelief when I saw the 12g automatic one shot someone...
Thanks!
When is next patch bc ke7 and other guns needs some balancing
Why doesn't the player pull back the bolt on the KE7 when reloading on an empty magazine?
Also is it beneficial to multi speck into trees or what??
I thought MMG stood for mounted machined gun since you can only ADS when utilizing your bipod
My Fg 42 is bugged. All the sights are out of wack. Bullets are going beneath the reticle instead of on and the back post of the AA sights completely blocks the front sight. Its become unuseable. And I like the gun too. Dont know how to fix it
