Like many of the other Battlefield titles, Hardline allows players to equip different gadgets such as grenades, first aid kits, and grappling hooks. Each time you go into battle you’ll be able to choose two gadgets to bring with so, making it incredibly important to make sure you’ve got the right tools for the job.

Gadgets can be placed into one of two groups, universal and class specific. Any class can use the universal gadgets, while class specific gadgets can only be used by their respective class.
