The Assault class is a playable kit featured in every major installment in the Battlefield Series. The weapons utilized by the kit varies from each game, but as a general rule, it includes an automatic rifle or squad support weapon, as well as the other equipment that is afforded all kits. Prior to Battlefield 2, the assault kit lacked any special functions or abilities.

Battlefield 1942Edit

Assault
Primary weapon	BAR (USMC, British Army, Free French Forces and US Army) Bren LMG (SAS) DP (Red Army) Type99 (IJN) StG 44 (Wehrmacht) FG42 (Waffen SS) Breda Modello 30 (RIA) Johnson LMG (Canadian Army)
Secondary weapon	M1911 (Allied forces) P-38 (Axis forces)
Equipment one	Knife
Equipment two	Hand grenade
Starting health	30

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 VietnamEdit

Assault
Primary weapon	M16(USMC, ARVN and US Army, MACV) CAR-15(ARVN and MACV) Mossberg 500(USMC) AK-47(NVA) RPD(NVA) AKMS(VC) Type-53(VC)

Equipment one	Grenades or XM148(MACV)

Like its first iteration, the basic assault is armed with the same, cross-class faction-specific loadout as the other kits; a handgun, grenades (or an underslung grenade launcher, as used by the MACV), and a melee weapon. However, players now have a choice of different primary weapons (along with cosmetic choices), with weapons from many different weapon niches; shotguns, carbines, light machineguns, and assault rifles are all available choices for the player. This class is thus the most flexible, with the other classes having more prenounced roles.

Battlefield 2Edit

Battlefield 2 features the first assault kit with specialty weapons. While each character is still armed with faction-specific weapons and equipment, the assault also has access to an underbarrel grenade launcher as well as smoke grenades. Flashbang grenades also become enabled by equipping the F2000.

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.

"The tip of the spear in any offensive. Assault grunts typically carry heavy combat rifles and grenade launchers to quickly clear a path." — Instruction Manual Description

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: Bad Company 2: VietnamEdit

Assault
Primary weapon	M16A1 (default) AK-47 (default) M14 (default) Thompson (Rank 10 or Limited Edition) M1 Garand (Battlefield Veteran) 870 Combat (Rank 1) M2-2 Flamethrower (default)
Secondary weapon	TT-33 (default) M1911 (Rank 3 or Limited Edition)
Gadget one	M79 (default)
Gadget two	Ammunition Box (unlockable)
Equipment one	Combat Knife
Equipment two	Hand Grenade

In Battlefield: Bad Company 2: Vietnam, the Assault class remains relatively unchanged from the base game. However, the assault rifles available do not feature an underbarrel grenade launcher; instead, the assault is always equipped with an M79 -- which the assault retains regardless of the weapon class they are using, removing the capability to lay down C4. The M79 features none of the specialty ammunition the underbarrel grenade launchers could equip, and the assault rifle cannot be equipped with any optic.

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.

InventoryEdit

• Combat Knife
• Pistol (M9 by default)
• Assault Rifle (G3A4 by default) / Shotgun
• Frag Grenade (unlocked via training customization)
• Ammo Box
• C4
• Request Reinforcements Tool (unlocked via training customization)

Battlefield 3Edit

Assault
Primary weapon	USMC: M16A3 RGF: AK-74M

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.
