There are a plethora of Battlefield Firestorm gadgets that you will want to get accustomed before you play. Battlefield 5‘s battle royale mode has some unique items that aren’t available in other games modes. Find out what these special Battlefield Firestorm items are with our help.
Battlefield Firestorm Gadgets | Ammo
Much like other Battlefield 5 game modes, you will need to keep your ammo topped up. These Battlefield Firestorm items can’t just be used in any type of weapon, however. Each one is specific to the firearms that you have available, so don’t think you can use pistol ammo in, say, a shotgun.
You will find ammo littered around Firestorm’s map, just like other battle royale games, and you can only carry a certain amount too. Your primary and secondary weapons will determine how much you can carry for each as well. Rifles and machine guns will allow you to carry more ammo, as they go through bullets quicker, while shotguns, sniper rifles, and pistols have less.
You will also have to be on the lookout for vehicle ammo. There are two types, light and heavy, and these will need to be acquired to top up your vehicles and deployable weapons. Think tanks and movable turrets, and you will get the picture.
Battlefield Firestorm Items | Health and armor
Different ammo types aren’t the only vital Battlefield Firestorm items you should keep an eye out for. You will want to keep your squishy body safe from harm with some armor. There are three armor levels in Firestorm, and each level corresponds to how many armor plates you have on your body at any point. Common armor gives you one plate, rare fits two, and epic gives you three.
Health syrettes are you go-to to replenish your health. You can use these on yourself or teammates to refill a health meter. You cannot, however, use them if you’ve been downed.
Finally, you will want to get a backpack as soon as possible. Small backpacks increase your inventory slot by two items, medium by four, and large by six. Get a large if you can, so you can carry more ammo, health, and other gadgets.
Battlefield Franchise Tour

Battlefield 5 and the many Battlefields of EA's Battlefield
EA's Battlefield franchise has gone through many ups and downs. It's been a Call of Duty killer, a PC technical showpiece, and a linchpin in the way Electronic Arts makes games. As Battlefield expands into battle royale territory, let's look back at what came before. -
Battlefield 1942
Releasing in September of 2002, 1942 introduced the world to the large scale multiplayer warfare the series is known for: control points, spend tickets on respawning, and outlast the opposing force. It's a classic mode and it has represented in every entry in the series since. -
Battlefield Vietnam
Two years later, DICE brought the war to Vietnam as many World War 2 shooters were doing to try and shake things up. Featuring new weapons and maps and period-appropriate music on the car radio, this spin-off would establish a familiar cadence for the franchise of main games spawning off the wall experiences. -
Battlefield 2
Sticking with World War 2, 2005's Battlefield 2 further refined the combat of 1942 while adding improved physics and dynamic lighting. An expandalone entry entitled Battlefield 2: Modern Combat soon followed, bringing the franchise to both the then-current year and then-current consoles for the first time. -
Battlefield 2142
Warping 200 years in the future of the original game, Battlefield 2142 is the only entry in the series so far to feature mechs and fully armored body suits à la Halo. The unique Titan mode had players competing to take down a massively mechanized goliath before it overran their base. -
Battlefield: Bad Company
The first entry in the series to not see a PC release, Bad Company is one of the best attempts at storytelling by the series to date. Gameplay in both single-player and multiplayer revolves around securing boxes of gold bars, and the game's destruction tech was second to none. Bad Company 2 followed the game up and put more focus on multiplayer. -
Battlefield Heroes
While Bad Company hit consoles, Battlefield Heroes was the new PC game of choice. A free-to-play experience with cartoony graphics, this was a browser game and a very early example of how many shooters would operate in the years to come. Also, it looks a lot like Fortnite. Just saying. -
Battlefield 3
Six years after the last numbered entry, Battlefield 3 reestablished itself in the shooter market with what some might still call the highpoint in the series. Bringing in the varied modes from Bad Company and the technical wizardry of the series' past, it had PC gamers scrambling to update their video cards in 2011. -
Battlefield 4
Battlefield 4 brought the series onto the latest Frostbite engine. Still, coming just two years after Battlefield 3, many saw this as too much too soon. There were certainly updates over the last release, but Battlefield had never really been a yearly endeavor. EA got the memo, and future games went all over the map. -
Battlefield Hardline
Hardline is probably the red-headed stepchild of all the Battlefield games. Its cops and robbers theming made some queasy and its highly touted campaign was poorly received. While it had some neat game mode ideas, its multiplayer stuck to the Battlefield 3 formula. At least the music was great. -
Battlefield 1
Blasting back into the unmined territory of World War 1, Battlefield 1 really showed off what developers could do with a mature graphics engine. The game is gorgeous across the board whether you're riding on horseback or ducking inside a train car. It was a side story worth experiencing. -
Battlefield 5
After all the twists and turns, Battlefield 5 returns home to the war that started it all. The game has a lot of baggage, mechanics, and modes grafted on by previous entries. However, underneath it all, it's still the same Battlefield experience.
