How the Sledgehammer & Ladder Might Work in Battlefield 6 (Speculations from a Former DICE Dev)
Some pretty wild gadgets was featured in the Battlefield 6 multiplayer trailer. Most notably the sledgehammer and deployable tactical ladder. As someone who used to work on Battlefield, I thought it’d be fun to break down how these features might be implemented
.
🔨 Sledgehammer – More than just a melee weapon. I talk through a few ways it could be used for breaching, destruction, or tactical utility — and what might limit it.
🪜 Deployable Ladder – A simple tool on paper, but there are a lot of ways it could affect level flow, flanking, and even revive strategies. I dig into how DICE might balance it and where it could go wrong.
This is all speculative as I have not played the game, and to my knowledge it has not been part of any playtests.
