Earning Intel Ribbons by using operator abilities

The best way to earn Intel Ribbons is via playing Recon operators. Most of them have specialities that let them reveal enemies' positions from a distance.

If you are playing the Recon class, use Casper and Paik as the operator of choice. Casper's OP-V Recon Drone is the best specialty for farming Intel Ribbons in Battlefield 2042. Drop into a Conquest or Breakthrough map, and find yourself a sneaky place near an enemy-captured objective. Now, activate your drone and park it near the objective where enemies can't find it quickly. The drone will nearby spot enemies and mark them for not only you but also your teammates.

Similarly, Paik's EMG-X Scanner can reveal the locations of all nearby enemies when it is activated. It has a radius of 30 meters and will reveal the every enemy's location within its range. This device can even scan and spot enemies through the wall, marking them for you. Note that your allies won't be able to spot the enemies who are behind the walls; only you will know their locations.

Earning Intel Ribbons using throwables

Similarly, Intel Ribbons can be earned by performing counter-intelligence using the EMP grenade. If you spot an enemy recon drone, throw an EMP grenade at it to stop it from functioning. In the same manner, if you hear the sound notification of being scanned by a nearby enemy Paik, chuck an EMP grenade at her to stop her scans. Both of these counter-intelligence operations will grant you the Intel Ribbon.
