Tips For Hardcore Difficulty
The BF6 campaign on Hardcore difficulty is far from easy, and players should be aware that they are getting themselves in for a tough time. It might not seem like it at first, as the opening mission isn't too challenging, but the missions get harder and harder from there on out, with the exception of 'Nile Guard'.
- Play the full campaign on normal difficulty first, so that you know what to expect.
- Customize your HUD so that enemy markers are brighter. You can even change the color in Accessibility.
- Fully utilize your squad and use commands for them to scout, smoke, or throw grenades.
- Make sure to revive your squad members, as you need their help on Hardcore.
- Try to let your squad do some of the work, especially if you are pinned down.
- Take your time; there's often no time limit for completing objectives. Take it one kill at a time, and wait to heal.
- You can resume missions partway through, even after exiting the game. You will start from the last checkpoint.
- Loot everything you can, as fights will last longer, so more ammo and gadgets are required.
- Try to conserve ammo, and only shoot when you have a good shot.
- When wounded, wait to fully recover, as there are no revives on Hardcore difficulty.
