Battlefield 1, in all its pro patria mori glory, takes players into the Great War for the first time in series history. That means a lot of new (or technically old) weapons, vehicles, and multiplayer maps to figure out.
Here on our Battlefield 1 Guide, Tips and Tricks page, we’ll give you a quick rundown of what’s new, as well as give you some general tips and tricks for playing the game, as well as links to our many multiplayer classes and weapons guide.

A guide to what’s new in Battlefield 1
Battlefield 1 sees a marked departure from the standard Battlefield formula. Gone are the days of Battlelog, Javelin Missiles, and even weapon attachments. Instead, Battlefield 1 offers a stripped-down, streamlined experience, in many ways more similar to EA DICE’s recent Star Wars Battlefront reboot.
Battlefield 1 game modes
- Conquest: Capturing and holding flags, and eliminating enemy troops, will advance the ticker toward victory. Very large maps with complete vehicle lists.
- Domination: Same as Conquest mode, but only for infantry, with smaller maps better suited to the lack of vehicles.
- Rush: Modified slightly this year to align more with Star Wars Battlefront’s Walker Assault mode. Attackers still need to place explosives on Telegraphs, but defenders can now also periodically use them to call in artillery strikes against detected enemies.
- Team Deathmatch: Standard TDM, where the team with the most kills wins.
- War Pigeons: A completely new mode, players must find carrier pigeons and use them to send messages to supporting artillery to attack the enemy.
- Operations: Another all-new mode for Battlefield 1, Operations, allows you to engage in multiple battles on multiple maps, as part of a “large-scale war.” Watch Operations as a themed map playlist, where you will attack and defend according to the real events of the World War I battles in those locations. Being a sort of “select” game mode, this is what Battlefield 1 is really about.
Battlefield 1 UI and Battlelog Changes
- Battlelog no longer exists, but players can access everything related to their soldier, including their equipment (now simply called Weapons and Gadgets), vehicles, medals, codex, dog tags, and battle packs, from the Soldier menu. You can also track your progress and statistics such as win rate and best weapons from here.
- Instead of equipping your soldier before battles, this is now all done in-game, and the weapons you unlock along the way are simply added to a quick menu on the game’s class selection screen.
- Battlepacks, since the weapon accessories have been mostly removed, now simply contain skins and, if you’re lucky, a puzzle piece to create one of two special melee weapons: the Bartek Bludgeon and the Sawtooth Knife.
- The accessories that exist, as far as we know so far, are essentially a couple of different sights for each weapon, modifications to the direction of recoil, and the option to attach or remove the bayonet.
- Weapon skins are also applied in-game from the same weapon customization menu within the classes menu.

Battlefield 1 tips and tricks to lead your team to victory
There are some tips from Battlefield 1 that have really held true throughout the franchise. These are our general tips for playing, but be sure to check out our specific class guides for the Assault, Medic, Support, Scout classes and also the dedicated Pilot, Tank and Cavalry classes.
- Play Towards Objective: Commonly used as an acronym (and usually with an F in there too…) Playing towards objective is easily the most important thing you can do in any Battlefield game, let alone Battlefield 1. It’s very complicated. incentivized, meaning that even if you lose or your K/D ration suffers terribly, you’ll still receive a huge amount of experience and war bonuses for trying to win the game, instead of trying to get the best headshots.
- Play with your team: The point here is twofold: First, you want to build a team, ideally with friends in the group voice chat. Second, regardless of whether you’re with friends or not, you’ll want to stay with your team. A balanced group of players, especially when split evenly between Assault, Medic, and Support classes, can contain swathes of enemies with a little good positioning and communication. Battlefield is the antithesis of a lone wolf game, so be part of the group!
- Positioning is key: As we mentioned above, your positioning is also crucial in Battlefield, regardless of what class you play as. Assaults will be terrible at long range, thanks to the wide range of submachine guns and shotguns, while scouts, of course, will have a terrible time up close. Those obvious points aside, you’ll want to think about positioning more complexly. Mortars, for example, must be under cover, but with a clear line of fire toward the target area. Meanwhile, light machine guns should be at mid-range, where you’re safe from being flanked, and seriously excel when aiming for a choke point on maps like Argonne Forest. Get creative with your flanking position and keep experimenting until you find a spot that really works.
- Adapt to the battle around you: Speaking of finding a location, just because you’ve found a good one, doesn’t mean you should keep coming back if the battle changes and you suddenly find it difficult to attack or defend. Stay tuned for changes to the game. Reinforcement behemoths, destructible buildings, sector captures and losses, or just a simple change in opposition tactics can be enough to completely disrupt your own plans. Constantly monitor the map, objectives, and your teammates, and be prepared to undo the plan and start over.
- Beginners should warm up with a classic Team Deathmatch: Battlefield plays surprisingly differently from other shooters, and Battlefield 1 is certainly no different in that. Accuracy is generally much lower, gameplay much slower, and vehicles completely change the rules of the game. If you’re looking to acclimatize to this for the first time, and we don’t blame you for being a little hesitant, we recommend using the Assault class (which is closest to a standard short-to-medium range marksman) in Team Deathmatch, before advancing from over there. A large-scale Conquest game on a huge map with all the vehicles and planes is amazing, but also insanely difficult if you’re not used to it (trust us, we’ve been there. A lot).
- Vehicles can win you a game – Vehicles, being a staple of Battlefield, are very important in Battlefield 1. The relationship between infantry, tanks and aircraft creates a fascinating game of rock, paper, scissors; Air dominance means freedom for your bombers to attack ground units and tanks, but to gain that air superiority you’ll have to sacrifice bombing potential and opt for fighters and other air-to-air combat craft. Likewise, a fully manned six-man heavy tank can, when well positioned, take and hold a point throughout the game. Be prepared to sacrifice some anti-infantry potential and focus on taking down that pesky tank, rather than continuing to fire from a safe distance, as ignoring the vehicles will almost certainly result in defeat.
