And if you've gone to the effort of working out how to get Jets and Helicopters in Battlefield 6 you don't want them, or anything else you sit in, to suddenly explode around you. So, help keep those motors running, here's how to repair vehicles in BF6 and what you need to fix things.

How do you repair things in Battlefield 6?

Fixing turrets and vehicles in Battlefield 6 requires a Repair Tool. This is a blowtorch gadget specific to the Engineer Class only – none of the other Battlefield 6 classes can equip or use it. In fact, the Repair Tool is the Engineer's signature gadget, one that cannot be unequipped and basically most of the point of choosing them as an option.

To use the Repair Tool in BF6 approach any vehicle or equipment that can be repaired, equip the Repair Tool and press the fire button when in melee range. The vehicle's health will slowly come back. You can also repair vehicles while inside them with the specific button prompt shown in the right (3 on PC).

On top of this, your power to fix things can be improved with the Engineer's final Active Ability, called "Power Repair", which improves the Repair Tool's efficiency by 50% for 10 seconds. With this activated it's actively quite difficult for enemies to damage vehicles faster than you can fix them, though rockets and tanks can certainly still outpace your efforts.

Finally, remember that the blowtorch only works as repair tool on friendly vehicles – using it on an enemy vehicle will damage it instead. That said, of course, the Engineer is better suited to using any of their uniquely explosive Battlefield 6 weapons, which are specifically equipped with explosive payloads especially made to ruin vehicles.
