Bring Back Gauntlet! - Battlefield 6 Community Feedback Thread

Hello Battlefield community!

Since the removal of Gauntlet from Battlefield 6 / REDSEC, I've noticed several discussions from players expressing their disappointment, asking for the mode to return, or sharing their experiences.

Rather than having the same conversation scattered across multiple threads, I thought it would be useful to create one central discussion where we can bring together everyone's feedback, opinions, and suggestions.

EA explained that Gauntlet was removed due to its smaller player population and matchmaking concerns. While I understand the reasoning, I also believe it's important for the developers to hear directly from the players who enjoyed this mode.

Some players spent hundreds of hours in Gauntlet, others preferred its competitive and objective-based gameplay over traditional Battle Royale, and for some, it was their main reason to play REDSEC.

The goal of this thread is simple:

1. Bring together community feedback about Gauntlet's removal.
2. Allow players to explain why they enjoyed the mode.
3. Share suggestions for improving matchmaking and keeping Gauntlet playable.
4. Discuss possible alternatives, such as scheduled rotations, limited-time returns, or custom matches.
5. Give Community Managers and developers a central place to review the community's feedback.

If you enjoyed Gauntlet, I'd love to hear your thoughts.

What did you like most about the mode? How often did you play it? Were matchmaking times really a problem in your region? Would you return to Gauntlet if EA brought it back?

And if you believe removing Gauntlet was the right decision, your perspective is welcome too!

This isn't about attacking EA or the developers. It's about having a constructive discussion and showing how much this mode meant to part of the Battlefield community.

If you've already created a thread about this topic, feel free to share its link here so we can collect the different discussions in one place.

Hopefully, this thread can help give the community's feedback greater visibility.

Let's keep the conversation respectful and constructive.

What do you think? Should Gauntlet return to Battlefield 6?

  • Sometimes, you mix things up and it just ends up being… bad. But with Gauntlet, combining different BF modes with elimination rounds worked surprisingly well. I think no other mode required such a fine squad coordination. This balance made Gauntlet one of the best modes of BF6.

    I bet EA will bring it back, though. There were many players who played Gauntlet for free in Redsec, and they made it clear that they are willing to pay to have it available. I doubt EA will let that pass.

    I really like your approach, iamdan! :D

    Honestly, if Gauntlet had a competitive or ranked mode, I'd be more than happy to play it too!

    Battlefield already has plenty of game modes, and I think keeping Gauntlet permanently available as a free mode in REDSEC would be a great decision.

    They could even take it a step further by introducing new challenges, missions, objectives, and perhaps seasonal rewards to keep things fresh and encourage more players to participate.

    There's so much potential here, and I'd love to see Gauntlet evolve rather than disappear!

    I strongly support bringing Gauntlet back. Honestly, removing an entire game mode just because it has a smaller player base is incredibly disappointing, especially for those of us who genuinely enjoyed it.

    Gauntlet offered something unique that traditional Battle Royale simply doesn't. The competitive, objective-based gameplay, teamwork, and intensity made it one of the most enjoyable parts of REDSEC.

    Not every mode needs to have the biggest player count to deserve a place in the game. Instead of removing it completely, EA should consider improving matchmaking, introducing scheduled rotations, or at least making it available through custom matches.

    Taking away a mode that people genuinely love isn't the solution to low player numbers. It just pushes those players away from the game entirely.

    Bring back Gauntlet. Give the community a choice instead of taking it away.

    I completely agree with your point! I would even be willing to pay extra for Gauntlet as a separate, permanent game mode, even though I already own the full game. I would also love to see Gauntlet become a ranked mode, because it has genuine competitive potential and requires real skill, teamwork, and strategy.

     

    I also think we should try to make our voices heard together. Could we organize as a community and bring this issue directly to EA management or the developers responsible for Battlefield 6? If enough of us speak up and make our feedback visible, hopefully they will take our concerns seriously.

     

    **Please bring back Gauntlet and make it a permanent ranked mode!** Let's work together to show EA how much this mode means to the community. We shouldn't give up so easily!

     

  • Im selling my copy unless they bring back gauntlet, its the only mode i played, this is bulljive, what am i supposed to do with this paper weight now!!!
