TOG back at it again with a tier list no one asked for or was concerned about. Been playing Battlebit recently and with the latest patch addressing some pretty hefty balance issues I think it’s about time to do a class tier list. I would do a weapon tier list but I’ve only used like 15% of the weapons in the game so that doesn’t seem like the best.
S
- Medic - Pre-nerf medic was the only class with the ability to heal itself (along with others but I mean medic’s job is to do that), making it exceptionally overpowered since you can go through multiple engagements just fine. Additionally Medics get Light armor and SMGs, two really strong tools for CQC. The only real nerf it got this update was a loss of 1 C4 so now instead of throwing 6 around you only throw 5. Big whoop. Vector also got nerfed but honestly it fucking deserved it. All around goat’d class and still a slightly better Assault imo. Also they’re amazing for XP
A

Engineer - The broadest selection of weapons, a variety of tools and armors, and the ability to use barbed wire. The Engineer is a really GOAT’d class all things considered. It’s the most versatile class by far with the ability to play hard support with a DMR, repair tool, anti-vehicle or personal mines or you can go in guns blazing with an SMG/Assault rifle, C4, and RPG. Their RPGs alone pretty much boost them up a whole tier with them being exceptional at dealing with players in fortifications or just vehicles. I’d argue a good engineer is much more scary than a good medic because they got better tools to wipe out a squad with.

Assault - Assault ate good this update imo though of the three classes with access to assault rifles (not counting squad leader) they’re the weakest. Their passives are nice but still leave more to be desired, maybe better recoil control could be nice to give them a use is mid-range but they’re also just fine as is. C4, sledgehammer/grapple for new paths, flashbangs to be toxic, you’re good to go. Honestly wish Assault had access to SMGs. A solid class all around with no real flaws except for not having just a little bit more.
B
-
Support - Support players probably got the most impactful buff this update. Bandages got buffed so that they can restore health instead of just stop bleeding and support players also now got the ability to resupply player’s bandages. That being said they’re exclusive to exo/heavy armor so they are not an ideal class to play as. Armor is overall fairly shit since it’s only useful 1 time and after that you’re just slower because…Yeah. Give Support the ability to resupply armor and they’d be the shit. Their choice of weapons is also really lacking. Nothing really going for them honestly, barely B tier. They have their uses but yeah they’re barely hanging on in this tier.
-
Recon - Recon is a very hit or miss class, pun intended, due to the fact that they arguably have the highest skill ceiling but also a high skill floor. Being good at recon honestly isn’t enough, to be impactful on your team you need to be exceptional at Recon. Neat gadgets but I wish they had ammo kits, seems useful for a sniper to have. They can be used well but just far more difficult to do. Sadly the most common game mode, Conquest, is not sniper friendly either. You need to be at the objective to claim it. Most you can do is clear objectives but that doesn’t help your team nearly as much. Still fine class and really strong in some scenarios or in the right hands
C
-
Leader - Leader is just the nothing burger of classes. It’s a mix of assault and recon but can’t be better than either. If you want to play assault play assault, want recon pick recon, there is no reason to pick this class aside from the mad drip it has.
That headpiece carries this class. Really weak overall with the only benefit being you can use an assault rifle while preforming drone strikes so hey if that’s your thing this is for you.
So that’s that one guy’s class tier list for battlebit. Honestly could swap some around, the more I think about support the more I hate it but I’ll stick with my initial tiering. Now time to play some more games and get killed by a medic using a vector
