This item has a Codex entry: Suppressing Fire

The Support class makes an appearance in Battlefield 1.

Much like in previous titles, Support has access to large, high-capacity light-machine guns. Support soldiers maintain a primary role of suppressing enemies and supporting teammates. The Support also has a variety of pistol carbines, like the Pilot/Tanker kits, excluding the Frommer Stop Auto and the Sawed-Off shotgun, which are both given to the Assault class.

The Support class has access to Ammo Pouch and Ammo Crate, with ammo pouches resupplying a fixed amount for individual soldiers on the move, and the ammo crate which replenishes more ammo over time and can supply whole groups at a time.

Many of the Support's offensive gadgets provide indirect fire, much like its role in Battlefield 4, including Limpet Charge, Mortar and Crossbow Launcher. Supports can also choose to carry the Repair Tool to supplement and maintain team vehicles or stationary weapons.

Supports can be visually distinguished by their bulkier headgear and large backpacks.

Specializations[]

The Support kit has access to three class-specific specializations meant to increase their suppressive capabilities, boost their resistance against Suppression, and increase walking speed and explosive resistance when using Repair Tool.
