X post talking about the Engineer class gadgets

A recent X post by @ChelUs0 talks about Engineers in Battlefield 6 and their ability to carry two types of launchers that are specifically useful to kill vehicles on land and air. While one is an unguided RPG that can be shot straight toward tanks, the other can be used as an Anti-Air missile to dispatch flying targets.

This handed too much firepower in to an Engineer player, making vehicles considerably fragile. Since there were talks about removing such gadget combinations, @ChelUs0 tagged the Lead Producer of BF on the post and enquired about the gadget options and whether this was just a BF Labs-specific thing.

Battlefield Lead Producer's reply

David Sirland replied to @ChelUs0's post with a confirmation that gadgets like the Unguided RPG and Javelin cannot be combined. Sirland added that the developers can tweak gadgets and their combinations, as it is merely an in-game option. He also mentions that these editing options will be made available to Portal so that players can create their own game modes with heavy customization.
