One of many nice injustices of Battlefield 6 is that the fundamental transport jeep is a ineffective piece of rubbish. With 4 seats, one turret gunner, and completely zero safety from bullets or mines, taking a journey in Battlefield 6’s sole transport automotive is like saying to your complete server that 5 free kills are vroomin’ their approach quickly.
In effectively over 60 hours of Battlefield 6, I’ve had only a handful of excursions within the The Gentle Floor Transport (or LGT) that did not depart me riddled with bullets or immediately exploded. It’s so dangerous at its one job—safely transporting—that it is common to look at your group ignore a fleet of free jeeps and select to hoof it throughout the map as an alternative.

The Traverser blueprint is such:
Driver seatTop machinegun nest: Distant-controlled, so your physique is protectedLeft window gunner: One other gunner seat that may solely look left, protectedRight window gunner: And yet one more gunner that appears proper, protected
And people machineguns rip. The 360-degree prime gun is equal to the weapons discovered atop the IFV and foremost battle tanks, so you do not wish to likelihood crossing the road when it is locked in in your location.
These facet gunners are a godsend too, not simply because they provide idle passengers one thing to do, however as a result of the primary explanation for untimely car demise is a sneaky engineer exploiting a driver’s restricted discipline of view. The Traverser has no blind spots.
It does have armor. It is not tank beefy, however as you possibly can see within the clip beneath, it may face up to RPGs and a strafing run from an assault chopper with out a lot concern. As if DICE believed the Traverser was lacking a cherry on prime, it additionally has a self-repair capability by default. That is Battlefield 6’s first correct APC (armored personnel service), and I adore it.
Now, an essential query: How will DICE deal with the rollout of the Traverser? Absolutely it’s going to be featured on the 2 new maps, however will it additionally return and add the APC to maps floundering in paper jeep hell? I hope to see it in every single place, however maybe deployed sparingly. I believe many will underestimate how a lot its presence will shake up a map’s dynamic: transports which are really good imply groups will immediately grow to be able to craftier flanks.
We’ll know earlier than later: The Traverser arrives within the first wave of Battlefield 6 Season 1 kicking off on October 28.
