Support is the backbone that keeps your squad in the fight. Healing efficiently can be the difference between a push that fails and one that breaks through.

Support's must-have healing tool - The Supply Bag!

The Supply Bag is the main gadget for healing as Support in Battlefield 6. When you place this gadget on the ground, any teammate within its area of effect will gradually regain health, as long as they aren't currently taking damage. The bag also supplies ammo, making it a multi-purpose tool for any squad. For healing to count towards assignments or challenges, teammates need to move over the Supply Bag or stay nearby while their health is not full.​

How to use healing gadgets as support class

You can only heal teammates with the healing gadget set in your Support loadout. The two main options are the Supply Bag and Defibrillator (the latter is primarily for revives, not healing over time). The Supply Bag is the best option for general healing. Equip it in your loadout before entering a match.

Step-by-step: how to heal as support

Step 1

Choose the Support class and make sure the Supply Bag is equipped in your loadout.

Step 2

Find teammates who have taken damage and approach them with your Supply Bag ready.

Step 3

On PC, press X; on PlayStation and Xbox, press Up on the D-pad to deploy your Supply Bag.​

Step 4

Ensure the Supply Bag is placed in an area where multiple teammates are likely to gather - choke points, objectives, or behind cover work best.​​

Step 5

Teammates will be healed automatically when they're near the bag and not actively under fire. Repeat deployment frequently - bags have cooldowns, so keep track and place them as soon as possible.

Tips for maximizing your healing impact

  • Place Supply Bags near commonly contested areas and revive points to help as many teammates as possible.​​
  • Healing does not count if teammates are currently taking damage; encourage them to fall back before dropping a bag.​
  • If playing with friends, communicate when and where you'll drop your Supply Bag for coordinated healing boosts.​
  • For quick progress on healing-related challenges, play in modes with focused objectives and lots of close fighting, such as Breakthrough or Escalation.​
  • Use your other support abilities to protect teammates near the bag, like deploying smoke for cover.

How supply bag healing counts for challenges

Most healing assignments and challenges count the number of health points restored via the Supply Bag. For example, the "Heal Teammates for Health" challenge requires 5,000 total HP healed. Deploying your bag in high-traffic spots and during large firefights will help you quickly progress through these goals.
