Enforcer | Character classes Battlefield Hardline Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
The Enforcer is a class of high versatility in the battlefield. He packs shotguns, which are effective up to several meters, as well as assault rifles, which deal lots of damage, at the cost of low firerate and recoil that is difficult to control. If you take the shotgun, you obviously need to fight as close to the frontline as possible. If, however, you pick an assault rifle, you fight further away from the frontline behind the backs of the operators.
Gadgets
Ammo box
A bag that replenishes yours and your teammates' ammo. For replenishing ammo in your teammates, you receive points. In the box, you can find ammo for all types of weapons, all gadgets and grenades.
Usability: each player in the battlefield, sooner or later, runs out of ammo. This is when they start searching for the enforcer, around the map, who ads such a player with the ammo box. This is why, each enforcer should spare one gadget slot for this item.
Ballistic shield
You can shield yourself from bullets. However, after it absorbs a certain number of bullets, the item gets destroyed. You can use it for melee attacks.
Usability: due to the fact that you cannot fire even the pistol, while holding one, decreases the usefulness of the shield.
C4 explosive
A plastic explosive that can be planted on majority of surfaces. It is detonated remotely, thanks to which it is perfect for ambushes or car bombs. You can deploy, up to, 3 explosives at a time, around the map. Lightweight cars can be destroyed with one explosive, vans require two and armored cars require 3 charges. Also, you can set traps for infantry, e.g. in vaults.
Usability: a smart player can put the C4 explosive to a lot of use, which he helps his team with. This gadget may prove useful both on maps that cluster infantry together, as well as on ones, where you conduct vehicular combat.
Recommended gadgets
Inarguably, each enforcer should come with an ammo box. Often, you run out of ammo in the battlefield and there is no other way around it. Apart from that, it is an easy source for points. What is useful as the second gadget, is the C4 explosive, which you can put to many uses. You can set traps in vaults, plant it on an enemy car or even drop it from aboard the chopper. Depending on the enemy's laying style, also gas mask and grappling hook may be useful and, if you are going to drive a car, also the stunt driver ability.
Hints
While playing as an enforce, it is a good idea to match your playing style to the weapon that you pick. If you pick the shotgun, you of course need to assault the enemy, because this type of weapon is effective over short distances only. Assault rifles, on the other hand, are effective over slightly longer ranges so, you need to keep that in mind, while planning on an attack.
Deploy as many ammo boxes around you as possible. Additional supplies will surely help your teammates and you will receive a certain amount of points, without breaking too much sweat. Also, pay attention to team chat and to verbal messages that your allies use. If they need ammo, they may let you know about that.
If you are using a C4 explosive and you plant it, take cover and replenish the amount that you have on you, because you may need it again, at the least expected moment.
