Like the weapon specializations , the infantry-based specializations are unlocked during the course of your multiplayer career. There are a variety of perks offered by these bonuses including faster sprint speeds, increased ammo capacity, and even body armor for reduced damage.
Lightweight Combat Equipment
MP Unlock: 39,900 Global Score
Lighter load-bearing equipment and packs increase your sprint speed.
Field Notes
Who wouldn’t want to run faster? Select this specialization to slightly improve your sprint speed. This can come in handy for crossing large open areas with sparse cover. While sprinting you’re a hard target to hit—but you also can’t return fire. This isn’t the best specialization, but it’s not bad if you haven’t unlocked any others.
Ammo Hip Bandolier
MP Unlock: 53,000 Global Score
Larger capacity hip pack for magazines doubles the total number of bullets carried.
Field Notes
Every kit can benefit from this specialization, especially if the assault players on your team are stingy with the ammo packs. But note, this only increases the ammo carried in your primary and secondary weapons . Other weapon/gadget capacities (grenades, rockets, mines, etc.) remain the same.
Grenade Vest
MP Unlock: 67,600 Global Score
Upgraded combat vest that carries more grenades—doubles your 40mm and hand grenade load.
Field Notes
Like tossing or launching grenades? Give this specialization a shot to double the number of grenades you can carry. It may seem like a good match for the assault kit, but remember, the assault kit can resupply their own grenades with ammo packs. So if you’re playing as assault, think twice before assigning this specialization to a slot.
Explosive Leg Pouch
MP Unlock: 83,400 Global Score
Additional leg pouches for explosives double the number of explosives and rockets carried.
Field Notes
This specialization only benefits the engineer and recon kit, as they’re the only ones capable of carrying rocket launchers and explosives. With this specialization, the engineer can carry eight rockets and the recon kit can carry eight C4 charges. If you’re constantly running low on rockets or explosives due to poor resupply efforts by your assault teammates, this specialization can really pay off, especially during defensive operations.
Ceramic Body Armor
MP Unlock: 200,700 Global Score
Adds reinforced ceramic plating to your combat vest, decreasing damage taken in combat .
Field Notes
Of all the specializations, this is one of the best, effectively increasing your lifespan by reducing the amount of damage taken. But it’s far from an invincibility bonus, so don’t do anything foolish. Still, it can give you an edge in those inevitable close-quarter duels. Be aware, this specialization does not reduce the damage inflicted by headshots.
Magnum Ammunition
MP Unlock: 223,500 Global Score
High-quality marksman bullets, manufactured to give greater accuracy at all ranges.
Field Notes
The effectiveness of this specialization largely depends on what weapon it’s applied to. For example, sniper rifles with already high accuracy ratings don’t benefit as much as other weapons with mediocre accuracy. So consider selecting this specialization when using an assault rifle, submachine gun, or light machine gun. Don’t bother selecting it if you’re using a shotgun—it won’t have much of an impact.
Improved Demolitions
MP Unlock: 271,600 Global Score
A more potent explosive blend increases the damage of soldier-carried explosives.
Field Notes
This specialization is tailor-made for the engineer kit, significantly increasing the damage caused by rockets and mines. But the specialization improves the explosives carried by other kits too, such as hand grenades and the recon kit’s explosives. Figure out what your role is before spawning into the battle and consider equipping this specialization if there are plenty of enemy vehicles to kill.
