Battlefield 6 – Commander Mode: Guardian Squad, Bunkers and Dynamic Warfare

You have been hand-picked for this operation. Every soldier on this field has been chosen for a reason, but you are here because you are the best at what you do. The mission is simple to understand and hard to master: your team must control the battlefield’s sectors, support your Commander, and fight together—or you will lose.

Core concept64 vs 64 players, one Commander per team.5 linear sectors with one bunker per sector: A–B–C–D–E.Each team starts with 2 home sectors (A/B vs D/E), center sector C is neutral and the main fight.The Commander always spawns in the home bunker closest to main spawn (Team 1: A, Team 2: E).Victory is decided at 60 minutes by total score based on:Sector control over time (primary)Captures/recaptures and phase bonusesCommander performanceCombat score (kills, deaths, vehicles)Sectors and objectives win the game; kills and abilities only support that.Sectors, tickets and scoringThe battlefield is divided into five sectors:Zone A: Team 1 home sector (+5 points per minute)Zone B: Team 1 forward sector (+5 points per minute)Zone C: Center sector (+15 points per minute, most valuable)Zone D: Team 2 forward sector (+5 points per minute)Zone E: Team 2 home sector (+5 points per minute)Every minute, each controlled sector generates points for your team.

Holding more sectors for longer is the main path to victory. Capturing and recapturing sectors also gives one-time score bonuses, and holding sectors at phase breaks (20 and 45 minutes) adds extra points. At 60 minutes, the match ends naturally and the team with the highest total score wins.Commander role and bunkersEach team has exactly one Commander.Starts in the home bunker nearest main spawn (A for Team 1, E for Team 2).Can relocate between bunkers (A–B–C–D–E) using a vulnerable Command Vehicle.Only three ability slots:Intelligence (UAV / Counter-Intel / Enhanced Radar)Firepower (Artillery / AC-130 / Cruise Missile)Support (Elite Drop / Vehicle Reinforcement / Deep Cover Operative)Bunker bonuses:Home bunkers (A/E): abilities slightly slower, safest.Mid bunkers (B/D): normal cooldowns, balanced risk.Center bunker (C): abilities 20% faster, maximum impact, highest risk.

The Commander has only one exclusive sidearm for emergencies: a powerful but slow-firing pistol. This makes the Commander dangerous up close but not a front-line soldier. Survival depends on positioning and on the Guardian Squad, not on outgunning others.Guardian SquadEach team has one Guardian Squad of 4 players:Volunteers selected at the start of the match.Their job is to protect the Commander, escort the Command Vehicle, and defend the active bunker.Within 50 meters of the Commander they gain:Extra damage resistance and weapon damageIncreased movement speedStrong suppression resistancePassive health regeneration out of combatGuardians have exclusive tools:Unlimited smoke grenades with a 30-second cooldown between throws.Specialized weapons tuned for bunker defense and close protection (suppressed AR, heavy LMG, precision DMR).Ballistic shields and combat stimulants to hold or break tight positions.They are meant to feel elite and distinct, but they can still be beaten by coordinated enemy squads.Combat, deaths and revivesInfantry and vehicle combat feed into the overall score, but never outweigh sector control.+1 point per kill, -1 point per death.Extra points for destroying high-value vehicles (tanks, helicopters, jets, AC-130, Command Vehicle with Commander).Bonus points for killing Guardians and the enemy Commander.Downed and revive rules follow the hardcoded Battlefield style:When you hit 0 HP, you are downed and bleed out in 15 seconds if not revived.If you bleed out or are finished, you are dead and must respawn; there are no revives after that.All standard Battlefield revive and bleed-out mechanics stay as they are—this mode does not change those timings or rules, only how deaths are scored toward the team result.This keeps gunplay fast and familiar, while still making deaths matter at the team level.Phases and comeback mechanicsThe match is structured into three phases:Phase 1 (0–20 min) – Recon: only intel abilities available, early sector race.Phase 2 (20–45 min) – Escalation: all abilities unlocked, heavy sector battles and bunker assaults.Phase 3 (45–60 min) – Desperation: if one team has pulled far ahead, the trailing team gets limited “desperation” tools from its home bunker (stronger defensive Commander options and Guardian boosts) to create a real but not guaranteed comeback window.If a team snowballs early, these late-game tools create tension and give the underdog a chance to turn the tide through smart commanding and focused sector play, rather than letting the last 20 minutes feel hopeless.Why this is fun and fairSector control and objectives are always the main win condition.The Commander is powerful, but clearly defined, vulnerable, and team-dependent.Guardian Squad offers a unique “VIP guard” playstyle without overshadowing normal squads.All classic Battlefield death, bleed-out and revive timings remain familiar.Covert flanking, vehicle play, infantry skill, and good commanding all have meaningful but balanced impact.The match always ends cleanly at 60 minutes with a transparent, point-based verdict that reflects how well the whole team played the map—not just who got the most kills.
