Battlefield 2042 will bring the long-running franchise to a new scale, and for players, that means getting access to characters with their own abilities. Named Specialists, each comes with their own passive and active ability, as well as a certain combat role that they're oriented towards. They're a means by which players can approach the battlefield in a different way, with no two Specialists being alike.

That being said, the game's Specialists can be broken up into groups. Each has abilities that push players towards a certain archetypical Battlefield playstyle, whether that's assault, engineer, support, or recon. With the game's fluidity for loadouts, they're how players will further specialize their classes.

At launch, Battlefield 2042 will have 10 Specialists, although more will be added to the game post-launch. A full list breaking down the game's list of Specialists can be found below. Battlefield 2042 is launching on November 19 for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
