Best Gadgets in Battlefield 2042

Insert signal

Imagine trying to hit a spectacular spot on the map that allows you to kill dozens of enemies with your sniper. Now, if you die for any reason, it will be very difficult to get you to the same spot again, especially when it’s an area controlled by enemy troops.

The inserted beacon can easily cut out all the trouble for you and your teammates. Just place it somewhere near you – preferably hidden from plain view – and once you’re killed you can spawn on the same spot using the Insertion Beacon.

Aside from snipers, it’s still a great gadget for those in a hurry. You can place it somewhere tough inside the enemy zone and once you and your whole team are redeployed from the same lighthouse you can tear the enemy apart from within, where they were not expecting.

The Insertion Beacon isn’t available from the start and you’ll need to make some progress and level up to unlock it.

Although our choice here is the Insertion Beacon, the other add-ons have their own benefits for you and your team. For example, the C5 Explosive could be a great match for Casper’s drones. Or you can use the unrecoverable M5 to destroy almost any enemy vehicle.
