Battlefield Bad Company 2 Part Two: A Guide to Gadgets – Strategy And Tips

In Part Two of our guide on useful gadgets found in Battlefield Bad Company 2 we cover those unlocks that can cause real damage in battle.  We’re talking about the likes of grenade launchers, shotguns and hand grenades of course!

Combat Knife – All Classes – Unlocks at the start

The knife can be used to sneak up on an enemy without being heard and alerting his team-mates.  Make sure you’re right next to them though otherwise you’ll make a wild stab in the air and look like a fool when he spots you and mows you down with his M249. It goes without saying that you should always attack from behind!

Grenade -  All Classes – Unlocks at start

Practice your aiming and you’ll become a dab hand at pin-pointing targets with perfection. Throw a grenade through the top window of a building before storming in, or lob them from a distance toward an area where you think enemies may be hiding. You don’t have a limited supply so use them wisely.  Stand back otherwise the blast radisu will injure you. And make sure, before you throw a grenade, that no team-mates are in that direction- EPIC fail.

40mm Smoke Launcher – Assault – Unlocks at start

This clips onto your assault rifle allowing you to fire grenades that create a smoke screen around your intended target. This can obviosuly hamper your team as well as help them attack an area, so make sure you’ve let everyone know that you’re about to set one off. It explodes on impact so can be used swiftly as a tactic and is ideal for if you’re storming a building where you suspect enemies are hiding out.  It’s also great for sneaking past an enemy tank on your way to your target.

40mm Grenade Launcher – Assault – Unlocks at 5,410 points

Using the reticule on the grenade launcher is tricky to master so practice at mastering the correct trajectory for launching grenades. The launcher allows you to stand way back from the action and launch grenades at your target without fear of being seen.  Launch a grenade at the wheels of an enemy buggy and you’ll see hilarious go sky high on impact. It’s also useful for taking out walls of buildings and leaving enemies exposed to your gunfire.

40mm Shotgun – Assault – Unlocks at 10,900 points

Clipping onto your assault rifle the shotgun is deadly at close range and the ideal weapon to equip when you’re storming a building or up against multiple enemies at close quarters. Don’t bother using this from a long-range, you’ll invariably miss your target and be spotted in the process.
