Battlefield 2142 features four different playable kits. Each kit has different weapons and equipment that can only be used when you choose the specified kit. Each kit contains a basic weapon, secondary weapon, and knife. To increase your options you must gain rank and get unlocks which you can use either to support your teammates or to help in any way possible. Battlefield 2142 now has customization so you can now use more unlocks using the one kit which makes it more effective. Each class has two unlockable weapons and one passive unlock which upgrades the soldier's helmet, each helmet upgrade having different functions. The benefits of one soldier's helmet upgrade will also be shared with his or her squadmates.
