DICE and EA just released the first details on the first four Specialists included with Battlefield 2042. Though we only have details on four Specialists so far, there seems to be a total of 10 Specialists planned for inclusion at the launch of the game.
Specialists are Battlefield 2042's answer to the typical Classes. Each Specialist includes one unique Specialty and one unique Trait. The rest of their loadout is fully customizable.

MARIA FALCK
