In Battlefield 1942, the assault kit is armed with a squad support weapon, which varies by faction. The assault is also equipped with a faction-specific handgun, knife, and grenades. The assault is most effective at medium ranges, as it has more spread than the submachineguns of the Medic kit, but less spread than the rifles of the Engineer or Scout. Unlike the other kits, the assault has no special functions or equipment. As a result, it is specifically suited to fighting infantry at moderate distances.

Battlefield 2142 features an assault kit that is essentially an amalgamation of the Assault and Medic kits from prior games. The assault utilizes an assault rifle, which the default varies by faction, as well as non-class-specific equipment and a sidearm. The assault carries a Medkit and can unlock the Defibrillator, which were previously issued to the Medic kit, as well as a variety of unlockable equipment.

The assault kit makes another appearance in Battlefield: Bad Company. As with previous titles, the default primary weapon and sidearm vary by faction. They are able to unlock the LIFE-2 gadget and several other assault rifles for usage, and retain the underslung grenade launcher of their prior iterations, yet do not have most of the special abilities that they could obtain in previous titles, with their healing capabilities split with the Support kit.
Battlefield: Bad Company 2Edit

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 sees a return of the assault. The assault is more of a combination of the support and assault kit from Battlefield 2 than its iteration in Bad Company or 2142; while it wields an assault rifle with an underslung grenade launcher, the assault is now capable of distributing ammunition. Additionally, Bad Company 2 is the first game where the default weapons are not determined by faction; the player will start with the AEK-971 and M9 Pistol regardless of what team they are playing on. Their underslung grenade launchers now have only aesthetic differences.

Battlefield Play4FreeEdit
The Assault kit returns in Battlefield Play4Free, almost identical to Bad Company 2 in terms of functions. The assault is capable of laying down ammunition, and is equipped with an assault rifle, grenades, a knife, a sidearm, C4 and a flare gun which temporarily causes nearby teammates to respawn at the user's location. The default assault rifle is the G3A3, and the default handgun is the M9. Like the other kits, more equipment and abilities can be unlocked via Training, and existing equipment and abilities can be improved or otherwise buffed by certain training options.

In Battlefield 3, the Assault kit returns, nearly identical to its Battlefield 2142 counterpart; a combination of the Battlefield 2 Assault and Medic. The assault is equipped with an assault rifle or an all-kit weapon, with the default weapons varying by faction; the USMC assault wields an M16A3 and an M9, whereas the Russian Ground Forces assault wields the AK-74M and MP443. The kit is initially equipped only with the medkit, but can quickly unlock other gadgets and weapons; the first unlock for the kit are the Defibrillators, which are the only option for that equipment slot. However, the medkit must be swapped out if the player wishes to wield either of the two underslung weapons, the M320 (Or GP-30 if equipped as an underslung attachment on one of the Russian-made weapons) or the M26 MASS.
