Kimble 'Irish' Graves

Battlefield 2042 revives some existing Battlefield icons with its intertwined multiplayer narrative, with former U.S. Marine Kimble "Irish" Graves now commander of the Exodus no-pat battleship. His return in Battlefield 2042 leans into previous instances of caring for refugees, now equipped with a custom fortification system to help protect your online allies.

Gadget - Fortification System: This two-part kit provides Irish with the DCS Deployable Cover, a bulletproof shield that mounts onto any flat surface, resisting incoming gunfire and explosives. Irish can also repel incoming projectiles with the APS-36 Shootdown Sentinel, a deployable crate that automatically shoots nearby airborne explosives.

Trait - Veteran: Irish gains extra armor through his passive trait, which multiplies you down enemy soldiers. The ability rewards those with a quick trigger finger with additional protection from incoming threats.

Webster Mackay

This Specialist brings new utility to Battlefield 2042's Assault class, defined by swift movement enabled by its gadgetry and passive ability. In what Electronic Arts describes as the "lone-wolf" of the current multiplayer roster, the former Canadian soldier broke away from the crowd to join the no-pats.

Gadget - Grappling Hook: Exclusive to Mackay, this tool provides an easy point-and-shoot tool to traverse across maps. The grappling hook latches on surfaces when fired, rapidly pulling the player forward and often airborne. However, the grappling hook only connects in close proximity, limiting your options in some of the larger multiplayer locales.

Trait - Nimble: This passive perk speeds up the Specialist when aiming down sights across all weapon classes. It's ideal for fast-paced combat situations in close quarters, aiding his agility-focused loadout.

Maria Falck

Falck brings years of medical expertise to the Battlefield 2042 lineup and fulfills the traditional role of a field medic, once reserved to the Assault class in earlier games. Her motherly tendencies, a factor that plays an integral part in her motivations according to the developer, ensures all your multiplayer allies get patched up in combat.

Gadget - Syrette Pistol: Falck's gadget evolves the iconic med-kit from past Battlefield games, now condensed into a projectile that instantly heals enemies down its sights. The Syrette Pistol also doubles as a lethal weapon, with the same shots also dealing damage when targeted at enemies.

Trait - Combat Surgeon: This medic wouldn't be complete without passive healing traits, capable of reviving enemies with maximum health if downed. Battlefield 2042 has the same squad revive system from Battlefield V, allowing anyone to heal squadmates, but Falck is the only Specialist equipped to deliver the best.

Pyotr 'Boris' Guskovsky

Boris harnesses heavy firepower as an experienced Engineer, equipped with an automatic sentry system, ideal for holding the line in combat. This Specialist is all about providing supporting fire for your team and locking down crucial objectives.

Gadget - SG-36 Sentry System: This automated sentry system dishes out a steady string of bullets on those who enter its radius. It's fully automatic and tracks nearby enemies, best used when holding an objective and vying to retain map control.

Trait - Sentry Operator Well-trained to best leverage his SG-36 sentry, Boris also rocks the Sentry Operator trait. Forming a unique bond with his turret, the Specialist automatically spots enemies locked by his turret.

Wikus 'Casper' Van Daele

This all-seeing Specialist brings unparalleled intelligence to your team, wrapped up in a ghillie suit, constantly on the hunt for his prey. His tools can survey the horizon from a birds-eye view, coupled with intrinsic traits that help spot nearby enemies.

Gadget - OV-P Recon Drone: This gadget has similarities to the UAV of past Battlefield games, albeit now coupled with surplus functionality, primed for the digital age. You can spot enemies and mark foes for friendly lock-on weapons, while an integrated EMP aims to disorient enemies.

Trait - Movement Sensor: This passive trait provides an extra set of eyes, automatically marking nearby enemies within his radius. It also works when using the OV-P Recon Drone for worry-free intelligence gathering, even in heated conflicts.

Navin Rao

The most technical-minded of the No-Pat Task Force, Rao studied electronics and engineering in his youth while suffering from a debilitating illness. Once recovered, he was determined to utilize his skills to support his country by joining the Indian Armed Forces and later the Navy Marine Commando Unit (MARCOS). While assigned to secure Non-Patriated refugees, he was a part of a disastrous mission resulting in heavy casualties. After his discharge, he reached out to his No-Pat contacts and decided to put his talents as a Recon soldier to use in their cause.

Gadget - hack an enemy using the Trojan Network device and kill them to reveal nearby enemies. All revealed appear as targets in-game and on the mini map.

Trait - cyber warfare suite allows you to hack nearby in-world objects and enemy equipment. Some roads have bollards that can only be activated using this gadget – activate the bollards at the correct time to stop your enemies from driving forward.

Emma "Sundance" Rosier

Sundance definitely likes to live on the edge. They're a skilled and fearless adversary that's had two very different lives – one as a model soldier in the Armée de Terre, and an earlier and much darker existence as a trusted associate in a major Parisian crime syndicate. The latter, sadly, came back to haunt them and ended their military career pre-maturely.

Gadget - drop from a great height and activate the Wingsuit to traverse great distances. The wingsuit looks like it handles better than the parachute – players have slightly more control when flying through the air with the wingsuit.

Trait - the Smart Grenade can be adjusted to work as an EMP, scatter into several pieces, or as an anti armour grenade. The anti armour grenades can hone in on targets, regardless of their location. If you throw the anti armour grenade into the air, the grenade will lock onto a helicopter to bring it down.

Constantin "Angel" Anghel

Growing up the son of a mechanic, Constantin has always had a love for taking things apart, building, and rebuilding them. This skill made him an incredible asset to the Romanian navy, where he served until the loss of his ship left him stranded and desperate. Cobbling together a distress beacon, he caught the attention of a No-Pat vessel and was rescued.

Gadget - the Trauma Specialist trait makes the reviving process considerably faster, and revived players come back to life with fully restored armour.

Trait - change your entire loadout using the Loadout Crate gadget. This crate can even be used by your squad mates, providing armour, ammo, and brand new loadouts to all squad mates.
