The SOFLAM is a great way to level and contribute to the team. It works great in combination with Sundance and Rao. Another great aspect to it and playing as Rao, is it will drive the pesky choppers and jets away from objectives. You just have to make sure you keep moving or a sniper will find you.
I was just grinding my jet progression until I noticed everything was being spotted and locked on for me. What a legendary player for making easy work for me haha
I always run jet I’ve been grinding the past 3 days and maxed out both but when there is a so flam player assisting it makes jets player that much better and deadly
@@jamesballi9859 Air combat in previous Battlefield titles have always been my go to. The jets in this game were a big turn off until I gave them some time in the latest patch, I just unlocked the 30mm cannons and it’s been a blast. It’s a little hard for me to search for ground targets in certain maps, but I am used to how they behave. All I ask for at this point is an A-10 Warthog and a toggle to switch off plane chase camera lol
The soflam has all ways been like that and the point of it is to constantly ping enemy troops so your team can tell the difference because most players I have seen run right next to or by a enemy
It is a good method, dont get me wrong, but its nowhere near as "OP" as Neon makes it seem. You got WAAAY more assists before the sensors were nerfed, and 154 assists sitting in the back of the map isnt anything OP. You also dont get any credit if you mark air vehicles, and someone kills it with your mark. You dont even get a spot assist from it, let alone a kill assist. I regularly get close to 200 kills and assists with the sensors post nerf. Just run around with an ammo pack, throw the sensors as you normally would and drop your ammo pack to get a sensor back. You are more help to the team that way as well, because you are in the fight, helping eliminate enemies, as well as marking enemies in the area that actually matter, instead of marking people all over the place. This along with the support points for resupplying teammates, and the fact that the enemies are in buildings A LOT of the time, and Neon's method only spots enemies visible, whereas the sensors mark anyone near it, inside or outside. Like I said, its still a good method for exp but its not nearly as good or as OP as he claims it to be. I highly doubt this will get nerfed as its nothing specific that can be nerfed. It is doing its exact job. Its basically the same as the spot scope for recon in BF1. Typically I will only use the SOFLAM for spotting enemies, if there is an abundance of enemy aircraft that nobody is doing anything about. I will swap to soflam, mark em all until they stop spawning in them, then use the soflam until I die and go back to prox sensors.
the thing with soflam is that you do not even need to be looking at the enemies, you just open and glance it over the screen, it automatically "spots" every thing.
@@sashime00 Yeah I know how it works, but with the sensors you dont even need to glance at them. With soflam they need to be outside with you, or inside with you. Sensors are anything in range, and you are more help to the team being in the fight and helping cap objectives
this is how I got Rao to tier 1. Not his awful Trojan network. It is probably better now after the nerf on the prox sensor which was competing for the spots
been going on for few now. You can do this with Casper .. been around since day 1.. yah dose lvl you up fast almost get 30k xp best way to do this is on breakthrough
Why are you calling this a bug when it’s not? It also does NOT need to be nerfed. Using it in that manner means you will be out of the fight and actually HELPING teammates. You know for a game based on teamwork…
So many things spot you in this game it makes good flanks and shit near impossible. I really wish no gadgets spotted and there was spotting back like BF4/BF1
Just an FYI - I tried this last night when I got home - IT WORKS AWESOME!!!! My god how many points!!?!?!?! I used Rao and these also count towards his Tier 1 costume unlock. I only have a bout 1,000 left to get now! lol
@@KillaCyst It's 100% effective! I unlocked the Tier 1 in about 15 - 16 matches (I had already unlocked his Tier 3 and maxed the possible spots with the AI in Solo)
Yeah, I use this too, unfortunately the PS5 version seems to be bugged and most [A VAST, VAST MAJORITY] of the time I do not get the assist points, especially for lock-ons with aircraft, but I do it to support others, not for XP. Ticket this for BF but doubt anything will come of it, in the same way I have ticket the 'disappearing loadout', 'unable to revive', 'zero aim assist', 'Unable on occasion to look up and down', 'unable to play HZ due to loadout issues', etc, etc.
My friend you are a genius...I've been experimenting with diff stuff because I fell into the same slump ....but this is awesome.it wi def get nerfed soon once everyone catches on
Why would it be nerfed? It's a team game and you are playing support role by doing this. Nothing OP about it. Have you played the old Battlefield games? This was always in the game. You get rewarded the same because it's an important role that no one would use if you didn't get points
When considering that in other Bf games it was only for locking in vehicles and now it spots everything, it's op! Plus, this game has already more than enough ways to spot and reveal enemies! It's super annoying as an infantry player to never know how often I'm spotted and being rushed by a team of people! It's simply to much...
I've had the SOFLAM for a few days now it's my most used gadget so far. M5A3 (6x, Bipod, Extended, High Power) M44 1.25x + 2x SOFLAM Smoke It's an amazing loadout for being mid to long range and support in a way that actually helps. I used to like Casper for this but BF42's EMPs are busted and worthless while you can't actively ping with the drone. Plus, now I can use any specialist (though I wish they'd bring back the second gadget slot and get rid of characters, this isn't CoD) and being able to zip-line or hack is super helpful when you're not stuck only running loadout crate guy.
@@jonessii 😂 that's what I been doing but damn its rough af. Half the time her grenades don't kill anyone because they nerfed the scatter grenades to blow up 3 seconds after the first bounce smh
I don’t like the operators. Don’t feel right. And there’s like 50 of the same people in a match. Not a fan. Also I hate how we only get 1 gun for free. You have to grind for everything. This game has potential but it doesn’t feel fully finished .

Glad I unlocked it
I'm amazed that you were able to just stand in the middle of Orbital without being sniped

That's peak Battlefield. The SOFLAM is a target designator after all. Lock on to a vehicle and wait for air support.
Love all the fast level methods that require a high level
Fly a drone you can do that at any level
@@NeonPWA have been I but I'll definitely use the soflam when I get there. All I want is the big boy sniper 😂
Exactly

Ya what ya recommended is better tbh

The unlock is too high a level anyway 🙄
Its not an exploit or other. It was planned to make people use it as it is an AWSOME help in a squad based, team based game.
not a bug, started in BF3, and has been a part of BF since.
Exactly, it's just part of playing a support role. You get points for helping out the team. I don't think this dude has played OG Battlefield games
I can't believe you're walking through the battlefield without getting sniped.
been going on for few now. You can do this with Casper .. been around since day 1.. yah dose lvl you up fast almost get 30k xp best way to do this is on breakthrough
If you are spotting and laser designating a lot for your team. You are the best player in the world for them
Why are you calling this a bug when it’s not? It also does NOT need to be nerfed. Using it in that manner means you will be out of the fight and actually HELPING teammates. You know for a game based on teamwork…
the drone actually auto spots enemies in your FOV
It's the SOFLAM eh. Game didn't show you got assist for lasering vehicles but you do get points for it.
So many things spot you in this game it makes good flanks and shit near impossible. I really wish no gadgets spotted and there was spotting back like BF4/BF1
the only reason to level up fast at this point is just for the red level badge
i knew about this, this is a great way to get Rao tier one super fast because he needs spots to become tier one.
Just an FYI - I tried this last night when I got home - IT WORKS AWESOME!!!! My god how many points!!?!?!?! I used Rao and these also count towards his Tier 1 costume unlock. I only have a bout 1,000 left to get now! lol
omg, been working on Rao mastery and didn't start till after prox sensor nerf.. it's painful. Will try this.
@@KillaCyst It's 100% effective! I unlocked the Tier 1 in about 15 - 16 matches (I had already unlocked his Tier 3 and maxed the possible spots with the AI in Solo)
thank u so much for this video. helped alot
Sheesh you are really good at repeating yourself....slick man lol
Guess I’m maining the soflam now my right pointer finger be getting tired holding it down for so long with the drone
I know what you mean switch to your middle finger
Or you can change the settings and just have tap instead of holding it

Love the mark davis background music also thanks 4 the advice
Ooooh, interesting! I know what I shall be trying out later. Thanks for the tip! 😎👍
My friend you are a genius...I've been experimenting with diff stuff because I fell into the same slump ....but this is awesome.it wi def get nerfed soon once everyone catches on
What is this S058 in the thumb?
Bruh you get the soflam at like level 50, at that point all the good stuff is already basically unlocked
Is that the thing that has like a tripod with it. I always get stuck with looking thru thst lol

@@stuartrobb83?
Doing this after work today, thanks!
All good Tim thank you for watching more tips on the way
This game needs more spotting!
I've had the SOFLAM for a few days now it's my most used gadget so far.
M5A3 (6x, Bipod, Extended, High Power)
M44 1.25x + 2x
SOFLAM
Smoke
It's an amazing loadout for being mid to long range and support in a way that actually helps. I used to like Casper for this but BF42's EMPs are busted and worthless while you can't actively ping with the drone.

do you get assists if they die after you spot em?
If you are on the bleed outstage yes
Yeah but its level 56 to unlock so i take it its drone up until then for leveling up fast
Proxy sensor was way better used to get 500 assist
How? I can rarely get the prox sensor to detect more than one enemy I never know where to throw it
@@zudington9306 they nerf it
Its trash now
@@raeframi6023 Aw man :(
bro this is level 56 you basically unlock everything already when you get SOFLAM
Unfortunately you need to be 52 to Unlock it But once you do you can unlock faster I don't make the game sorry
I think you need to put an exclaimer saying that the SOFLAM is unlocked at a high level (lvl 56)
I don't make the game
Thanks for the tip but when do you unlock it? I am level 55 and haven’t unlocked it
I can't remember what rank you need to be to unlock it
It looks like 56?
@@NeonPWA you are right I just unlocked it! Thanks
@@gabsxo5714 No problem buddy happy to help
Its a shame you unlock this gadget 4 levels before the last weapon…
Yep I love using it, help my team take out those annoying helicopters 😂
Is this better than casper?
Well, guess I'm getting my friend to die for me so I can pick up his loadout
I’ve been using casper and his drone
How do I get the Binoculars
You need to be level 56 and look into the gadgets in the loadout
@@NeonPWA what’s the point of using it to level up then?
@@lightitup8385 Because there is a 1000 levels
Good video. What's the fastest way to unlock Sundance tier 1 skin??
Kamikaze endlessly in breakthrough.
@@jonessii 😂 that's what I been doing but damn its rough af. Half the time her grenades don't kill anyone because they nerfed the scatter grenades to blow up 3 seconds after the first bounce smh
How do you get the binoculars?
lvl 56 unlock
I can't wait to unlock 🔓 this
It's similar to BF4 spotting.
If you use this with a recoiless it will auto track the vehicle you marked with the solfam
They are not going to nerf it otherwise nobody will sopport their team with soflam and turn the game to trash. They did it on purpose.
I still can’t believe there’s no faster way than this shit…
It's a great way to spot but you have to be lvl 56 to even get it
I know :(
@@NeonPWA personally I think it should Be a bit lower then 50 . Cause it's a pair of spoting goggles you would think it would be lower
Thanks
You….dude you need level 50 to unlock it
You can also use the drone before you unlock this Works the same way Just need to be closer
12 years later get to the point!!
someone needs to go back to school this video is under 4 minutes
You need lvl 56 tho
I can’t find it
Which class it this for?
For all It's a gadget
What level do you unlock this? At work atm lol
56
For what game mode??
Breakthrough
Does it still work?
Yes
Anyone know if this still works?
yes it works
was this nerfed? just got the game ;)
Better try this before game becomes dead. Begging for players discount free to play. Only be on season EA will pull the plug
I don’t like the operators. Don’t feel right. And there’s like 50 of the same people in a match. Not a fan. Also I hate how we only get 1 gun for free. You have to grind for everything. This game has potential but it doesn’t feel fully finished .
Easy way to level up Rao
Did they nerf this method yet
Same question here lol
u need to reach 56 first
You need to be a level 56?
yes 52
Yeah ranking up sure matters 😂 when there's no leaderboards,,,.... Yeah bro ranking up sure matters 😂😂😂😂
It still work?
Yes
Hello,
I tested this method
she gives a little extra XP
but it's not really ideal
There must be a lot better for XP
I think they patched already
Bro 64 player lobbies are so dead 😐
do you fastest way to unlock attachment?
That's tomorrow's upload
Patched?
I was doing that since day 5 i was 56 level lol.. u need level 56 for that lol.... Already did unnistall game its boring
