Battlefield 4 Loadout Presets Coming April 8
EA and DICE have announced a new way to manage your loadouts through Battlelog. A new preset feature will allow players to have complete sets of gear, eliminating the need to edit each slot individually.
Players will be able to set two custom loadouts for each kit and vehicle (Premium members get an extra two slots). Swapping out the different presets is handled with the Battlelog app on a tablet and can be done mid-game.
Presets can be given custom names and can be tailored to different situations. Loadouts can be accessed through that tab in the app and set to your game by selecting from the drop down menu. For more on Battlefield 4, check out our impressions of the most recent DLC pack, Naval Strike.

Our Take
This is a step closer to an ideal Battlefield experience, but I’m unclear why this can’t be handled on the controller. There is a Battlelog menu on each platform, and giving players the opportunity to select from custom loadouts mid-game without juggling a second device seems like a more intuitive solution.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
