Battlefield 6 - Community Update - Changes to Challenges & Assignments
Recently, we introduced updates that increase the XP earned in official matches and reduce the XP needed for the first 20 attachment ranks. As we continue to build on the improvements we mentioned previously, we are also delivering a major overhaul of Challenges and Assignments, guided by gameplay data and your feedback. Some of the adjustments in this update are substantial, and we wanted to share more context on how we arrived at them. This update makes significant reductions to challenge requirements, cutting down on time investment while maintaining a focus on skill-driven progression that rewards consistent play. Challenges and Assignments are tuned around defined playtime targets, and these changes bring their requirements in line with those goals to make them more achievable within a reasonable session length. Assignments will continue to range from goals you can complete through regular play to a few that reward true mastery, particularly those tied to cosmetic items. Some of the original criteria did not fully reflect that intent, and we have updated them to make their difficulty and purpose clearer. The first set of changes went live today through a server-side update and are available immediately. Any progress you’ve already made will automatically be applied when you enter a match, unlocking any challenges or assignments you now meet based on the updated criteria. As previously indicated, the scale of our plans for Challenges and Assignments are large and will take place over multiple server-side and client-side updates, expect additional updates in the future. We wanted to get the first set of changes into your hands as soon as possible while we prepare further game updates. We’ll follow-up with more details on the rollout in the future. In this first set of changes we made a total of 90+ adjustments to Challenges and Assignments. Below we’ve highlighted a few examples. Class Challenges Assault, Engineer, Support, and Recon challenges now complete much faster. Assault 2: Have Squadmates deploy on your Spawn Beacon. Reduced from 50 deploys to 5. Support 2: Revive teammates as Support. Reduced from 200 revives to 60. Weapon Assignments All weapon-type assignments (ARs, SMGs, LMGs, Shotguns, DMRs, Snipers, Carbines) have been significantly simplified. Rapid Fire 1/Assault Rifle: Inflict damage with Assault Rifles. Reduced from requiring 10000 inflicted damage to 3000. Mode & Unit Assignments The majority of our mode-specific assignments (Conquest, Rush, Breakthrough, Domination, and others) have been standardized to require two wins per tier. This change makes it easier to pursue these challenges with clear intent. Conquest 2: Wins in Conquest. Reduced from 5 wins to 2. Conquest 3: Objective kills in a round of Conquest. Reduced from 30 objective kills in a round to 10. Gameplay & Mastery General “Expert” and “Master” assignments that require multi-kills, headshots, kill streaks, or revives have been adjusted to better match the natural rhythm of gameplay. For example, multi-kill and streak goals now align with average round performance rather than rare, outlier achievements. Explosives Expert 2: Get Multi Kills (2+ Kills Onwards) with explosives. Reduced from 20 Multi Kills to 5. Adaptable 2: Repair damaged Vehicles in a life. Reduced from requiring 3000 damage to 500. We value your ongoing feedback around Challenges and Assignments as we continue to roll out further improvements. Please continue to report bugs on our EA Forums, and join the community on the Battlefield Discord server. See you on the Battlefield. //The Battlefield Team This announcement may change as we listen to community feedback and continue developing and evolving our Live Service & Content. We will always strive to keep our community as informed as possible.[INFO/GUIDE] ⚠️ Missing Content in Battlefield 6 - What to Do
Hey everyone, We know how frustrating it can be when items you’ve earned or expected don’t appear in your loadouts, vehicle customizations, or rewards. Below you’ll find clear steps to resolve the most common missing content issues in Battlefield 6. 🪖 Not Sure Where to Start? Begin by checking for any known service issues: Updates on content delivery problems are often shared via our official forums, @EAHelp, @Battlefield Comms, r/Battlefield6, and the Battlefield Discord. You can also verify platform status through PlayStation Network and Xbox Live pages. 🔧 Weapon Attachments Not Unlocking If weapon attachments aren’t appearing even though you’ve met the mastery requirements: Weapon Mastery System: Attachments unlock based on mastery of each specific weapon. XP earned with one weapon doesn’t carry over to others. Fully restart the game - some unlocks only register after a new session or completed match. Play a full round with the weapon in question, since mid-match unlocks may not update. Check the firing range to see if the attachment appears there before contacting support. 🎯 Assignment or Challenge Rewards Missing If your challenge or assignment reward hasn’t shown up: Make sure all requirements were met - many assignments must be completed sequentially and are rank-locked. Confirm progress under your Challenges tab. Log out, restart your game, and play a full match to sync your account with the servers. If rewards still don’t appear, take a screenshot showing completion and contact EA Help. Include the date, time, platform, and all additional information you think might be helpful. 🔒 Lost Content from a Compromised Account If your account may have been compromised and content or currency is missing: Immediately change your EA password and enable two-factor authentication. If you can’t access your account, reach out to EA Help for account recovery. Report any unauthorized purchases or changes as soon as possible. 🎁 Pre-Order, Edition, and Event Rewards Not Showing If you’re missing Phantom Edition, Tier Skips, Beta rewards, or Road to Battlefield 6 items, don’t worry. The game officially launches worldwide on October 10, 2025, at 4 PM BST, and some rewards may not be fully activated in all regions until that time. Here’s what to check: Wait a little longer: Reward distribution can take time. We recommend waiting until around 4 PM BST on October 10, 2025, to see if the missing items appear after global launch. Restart the game: Fully close and relaunch Battlefield 6 a few times to reauthenticate with the servers. Play a multiplayer match: Completing a match in any mode can trigger the servers to refresh your reward data. Check your edition details: Make sure you redeemed the correct edition and on the correct platform. Verify your linked accounts: Ensure your platform account (Steam, PlayStation, or Xbox, etc.) is properly connected to your EA account. Still missing? Contact EA Help and include your purchase details - edition, region, and time of redemption. 💰 Purchased Items Not Received If you spent Battlefield Currency and didn’t get the item: Restart Battlefield 6 and log back in. Play a full match to trigger a sync. Still missing? Contact EA Help and include transaction details, timestamps, and your platform. 📺 Missing Twitch Drops If you participated in a Twitch Drop campaign but didn’t receive the reward: Confirm your EA account is linked to your Twitch account. Check that you watched during the eligible campaign window. Claim your rewards from the Twitch Drops inventory page. Drops can take up to 24 hours to appear. If it’s still missing, contact EA Help and include the campaign name, date, and linked account details. Also, check our Battlefield 6 Launch Twitch Drops | EA Forums - 12728202 article on the forums! 🎟️ Missing Battle Pass Rewards If you’re missing rewards from the Battle Pass: Restart the game and log back in to refresh your progress. Play a match to trigger synchronization. Remember: Battle Pass progression mainly comes from completing weekly missions, not just XP. Check both your inventory and customization menus for cosmetic items - some appear in different sections. 🚗 Vehicle Customization Missing If vehicle skins or decals aren’t appearing: Check all customization categories - they can be separate. Some items require vehicle mastery or Battle Pass progress. Restart the game if the unlocks don’t show up immediately after completion. 🛠️ How to Contact EA Help Go to help.ea.com: Log in with your EA account (or continue as a guest if you can’t access it). Select Battlefield 6 and your platform. Choose your issue type (Missing Content, Purchase Issue, Account Issue, etc.). Fill out the contact form with as much detail as possible, including screenshots if available. Once submitted, look for “Chat with us” or “Start chat.” Wait times can vary, but once connected, most cases are resolved in 15–30 minutes. ✅ Quick Tips Keep records of your purchases and transactions. Enable two-factor authentication to secure your account. Log out and back in before troubleshooting. Play a full match to force progress synchronization. Make sure your platform account (Steam, PlayStation, Xbox, etc.) is linked to your EA account. Weapon attachments depend on individual mastery, not overall rank. We hope this helps you recover your missing content and get back into the fight. On help.ea.com: How to find missing content and rewards in Battlefield 6[INFO] BATTLEFIELD 6 - KNOWN ISSUES 1.0.1.0
Please note that the following is not an exhaustive list of all issues present in the 1.0.1.0 launch build. Battlefield 6 is a live game, and some issues are expected at release. We encourage you to continue reporting anything you encounter so the team can investigate and resolve them in future updates. PLAYER: Party System: Accepting a multiplayer invite while in Campaign does not transfer you to the lobby or server. Soldiers may bounce off vault-height objects if jumping from too far away. Characters can bounce when landing on certain assets. Profile: All Weapon Mastery Badges appear greyed out in the loadout screen. You will still be able to progress towards these badges. GADGETS: EOD Bot may get stuck if deployed on top of a Supply Crate. Defibrillators may have inconsistent hit registration after range adjustments. WEAPONS: Some weapons are missing the intended camera shake when aiming. Crosshair does not scale correctly when playing in 4K resolution. Weapon sway can disconnect after exiting a vehicle. Some weapons cannot reload if reload input is pressed immediately after firing. Charm loops are missing on some weapons. For certain scopes, the lens may visually detach from the scope during ADS reload. VEHICLES: R-84V2 and AIM-84 Air-to-Air Missiles have been temporarily disabled due to an issue related to Air-to-Air missiles from jets towards other aircraft. These missiles will be re-enabled in an upcoming update. MAPS & MODES: The combat area may sometimes fail to render on the minimap or deploy screen while playing Escalation. Strikepoint: Halftime screen may show no information. Empire State (Rush): All sectors may appear active from the start of a match. UI & HUD: HUD may not appear in gameplay when using 16:10 aspect ratio with certain resolutions. The game mode UI at the top of the screen (including team scores) may not update if you join a match mid-round. This will remain incorrect for the rest of that round on your client. Rejoining the match resolves the issue. Command Console cannot currently be accessed. “Purchase Failed” error message may appear when pressing the CTA button in Inbox, Front-End Bulletin, or Takeover screens. The "Highly Trained" Dog Tag currently refers to it being an AI Dog Tag, this is due to be renamed to "Bot Dog Tag" and will remain being unable to be equipped. CHARACTERS: Faction and Class patches may be missing on some skins. The Sunstroke skin uses the wrong camo pattern. The Bramble skin has an incorrect texture. Player choice patches may override Faction and Class patches. Patches are not correctly applied on Assault ROAR when using the Get Loud Class Assignment. The Copperpulse skin currently shares the same outfit/pattern as Evergreen. The System Override cosmetic is currently too saturated and will be reduced in vibrancy in a later update. SINGLE PLAYER: Challenges may not unlock if they were failed in a previous mission during the same playthrough. Relaunch the mission from the main menu and complete the challenge again in that mission to unlock it. Graphical issues may occur if settings are set to Low; Performance Mode will also force settings to Low. Adjust graphics settings to resolve. Screen tearing may occur; enabling V-Sync can resolve this. Teammates can sometimes get stuck; restarting the checkpoint or mission resolves the issue. Characters may become stuck due to collision; restarting the checkpoint or mission resolves this. Reloading a checkpoint can cause issues; restarting the mission resolves this. Playing outside intended areas (edges of the map, ignoring objective markers) can cause AI or mission objectives to stop functioning; restart the checkpoint and follow the mission path to resolve. The game may become unresponsive after being idle for long periods; restart the title to continue playing. On PC, unintentional interactions with apps outside of the game may occur when in Windowed mode; switch to Fullscreen mode to prevent this. The Challenge Mode UI may not display correctly after unpausing; restart the checkpoint or mission to resolve. Controller issues may occur on PC; switch to mouse and keyboard if this happens. Shader stutter may occur at the beginning of the Prologue and some missions on PC. Corrupted weapon firing VFX can appear when running at 120Hz. Mission 07: Nile Guard: Player camera may break and fly through the map after triggering a specific cinematic while in first-person view. On Xbox and PS5, the game may crash when pressing “Continue” in Campaign if no add-ons are installed. SETTINGS: Graphics settings may default to Low when using the Auto Performance preset on some RTX 5080 cards at 4K or 1080p. Different aspect ratio selections may cause see-through borders or other display issues, depending on resolution. PC Players: If you played on release day on PC your deadzone values may be defaulted at a too high of a value (22%). This may result in scenarios such as your aim moving when no input is taking place. We recommend you change this to the new default of 8%. Consoles: Currently DRS (Dynamic Resolution Scaling) is not working as intended in Performance Mode. After joining a Game Session, the Performance Mode option will need to be toggled off and then back on again to receive the full benefit. This process would need to be repeated each time a new Game Session is joined or after having gone to the Main Menu. We are working on a more permanent solution for a future update. PORTAL: Unable to host an experience if the server description contains special characters. On PS5, the title may crash if a party leader starts a Portal server while certain content packs (01 and 04) are disabled. Portal: Unable to scroll to the bottom row in the “My Experiences” tab. PROGRESSION: Player stats may incorrectly count progress from custom Portal game modes. Challenges: “Resupply teammates with the Supply Pouch” is not tracking progress. Challenges:The Progress bar for “Repair Vehicles” does not update when repairs are made. Challenges: “Use Vehicle Supply Crate” does not progress even after completing the action. Challenges: The Weapon Expert Unit Challenge is not tracking correctly. The description says you must “Get a kill with each type of weapon in a match,” but the actual requirement is to get 15 longshot kills in a single match.

Originally posted on the Battlefield Comms X account on 6th Oct 2025 Hello everyone, In this Community Update we will share how we are translating insights from community feedback into changes and improvements for the launch of Battlefield 6 on October 10. What We Learned With over 30 Battlefield Labs sessions successfully completed alongside our community, and a total of 92,351,578 hours played during the Open Beta, Battlefield 6 is the most tested and iterated Battlefield game in history, and player agency remains at the heart of it. Battlefield 6 has more ways to play than ever, and through the Open Beta, we aimed to validate at scale that offering multiple playlists in parallel would not compromise the authentic Battlefield experience. Here is a closer look at some of the most important data points we reviewed, and our summarized findings for each: Class Pick Rates: The map layout was the main deciding factor for class picks. For example, Support had a higher pick rate on Siege of Cairo which is a CQC focused map. On Iberian Offensive with more long distance combat opportunities, we saw an increased pick rate for Recon. Comparing between Open and Closed Weapon playlists we observed mostly identical class pick rates with 1-2% difference at most. Kills Per Hour: Kills Per Hour (KPH) also remained virtually consistent for both playlist types. Open Weapons players scored 0.2 more KPH in Conquest, and 0.1 in Breakthrough. Match Length: Match duration increased slightly within Closed Weapons playlists by up to 45 seconds, or about a 3.75% difference for both Breakthrough and Conquest. Revives: We also observed a slightly higher revive rate for Closed Weapons at 3% for Breakthrough, and 2% for Conquest, which coincides with the slightly longer match duration. Signature Weapon Usage: More players played with non-signature weapons in Open Weapon playlists. However, Recon players still favored Sniper Rifles over other weapons, and their pick rate was identical between both playlist types. There was not a single dominant weapon archetype, and we observed a consistent and well-distributed pick rate between them. This balance shows that even with different playlist types, players explored a wide variety of options without one class standing out above the rest. Time in Combat: There were no differences of note for time players spent in combat between Open and Closed Weapon playlist types. The actual differences were only fractions of a percentage where, rounded up, the results were identical. Lastly, another key insight from the Open Beta was that the vast majority of players, after trying both playlist types, chose to stick with Open Weapons. This reinforces our belief that Open Weapons is the right path forward for Battlefield 6. At the same time, we recognize that some players prefer the Closed Weapons experience. To support them, official Closed Weapons playlists will be available at launch. Additionally, Closed Weapons mutators will remain part of the Portal toolset, so players can create and share their own custom experiences. Menu and Playlist Updates For launch we are also making further changes and improvements to playlists and menus as a direct result of some of your feedback. All launch maps will be available across playlists from day one, giving you the freedom to play whichever map you prefer. We tested having multiple modes in a single playlist during the Open Beta and learned that players favored playlists with combined modes. We will continue to iterate and adjust playlists to deliver the best Battlefield experiences possible. You’ll have the flexibility to play in both single-mode and mixed-mode playlists. At launch, Conquest, Breakthrough, and Escalation will each have their own dedicated playlists. Alongside these, you will see combined playlists such as Conquest & Escalation and Breakthrough & Rush so you do not have to stop matchmaking when switching between those experiences. If you want to focus on a specific mode outside of playlists, you can always find it through Custom Search and the Server Browser. Custom Search enables you to select which map and/or mode combo you prefer and you will be matchmade into a match with these search criteria if available. You will have a higher chance to be matchmade into your preference the more you broaden your search. Portal remains the tool for creating and customizing experiences, while the section in the main menu previously called “Portal” is now called “Community”. This is where you will find the Server Browser, which is now prominently featured to make it easier to find and use. Separately, we will launch with Breakthrough, Conquest and Rush as verified modes within the Server Browser. This enables us to, for example, feature official Hardcore experiences that we know many of you are excited for. At launch, you will also find new custom experiences designed to add even more gameplay variety. This will be your first chance to dive into the new and improved Battlefield Portal toolset, now featuring powerful options like spatial editing. We cannot wait to see the creative ways in which you’ll use these tools to build and share your own experiences. Launch Playlist Rotations We’ve learned a lot from the Open Beta, and we’re using your feedback as our foundation for launching Battlefield 6. When the game goes live, you’ll find a range of playlist options to jump into, including: Single-mode playlists for favorites like Breakthrough and Conquest Closed Weapons experiences Intense close-quarters battle playlists Action-packed All-Out Warfare playlists We’ll be paying close attention to your feedback, adjusting playlists, and adding new options to make sure things always feel fresh and you can easily find a match that suits your style. Please keep sharing your thoughts—this is just the beginning! On the Horizon We are incredibly excited for you to join us on the battlefield at launch, and this is just the beginning for Battlefield 6 as shortly after launch we will launch Season 1 on October 28: Our Seasons will have more content than ever before in a Battlefield game, and we will unpack that with you in more detail during an upcoming moment. There is much more to look forward to beyond our Seasons as our team continues reviewing Battlefield Labs data, player feedback, and ideating on completely new ideas for the future, starting with an exciting new Battlefield take on Battle Royale. Separately, requests for naval warfare have not gone unnoticed, nor have the calls for a certain fan-favorite little helicopter, platoons, and more. We appreciate all of your suggestions, and want you to know we’re listening. With Season 1 and our roadmap ahead, we’re excited to continue to build a Battlefield that reflects what players want. We'll continue reading and listening to community channels, and we cannot wait to share more with you, so keep the feedback coming. Also be sure to join our official Battlefield Discord for more discussion and the latest updates. Up Next The following gameplay updates will be included in our launch day patch, with over 200 changes focused on bug fixes, balance improvements, and polish for release. Stay tuned for the full launch day update notes closer to launch! Player You’ll notice that movement feels more responsive, with changes made to pacing and with several movement issues addressed to keep gameplay smooth and balanced. Weapons Recoil has been rebalanced on automatic weapons, making long-range gunplay more characteristic, rewarding tap firing and burst control. Numerous weapon attachments have been fixed so they now display correctly in menus and in-game. Gadgets The LTLM II (Laser Designator) has been refined with smoother deploy animations, updated visuals, and several fixes for better feel when used. The MBT-LAW is now the default Engineer launcher, with a more accurate trajectory, improved guidance, and clearer sights. The MAS 148 Glaive is enhanced with more realistic missile path, improved zoom and lock-on, sharper scope visuals, and more reliable vehicle damage. Deploy Beacons are now limited to one spawn per player (four per squad total), helping maintain balance and prevent overuse. Maps and Modes Rush and Breakthrough layouts have been revised for better balance between attackers and defenders. Operation Firestorm has been updated with improved vaulting, lightning, and performance, while Siege of Cairo spawn killing and Out of Bounds issues have been addressed. UI & HUD UI and HUD elements are clearer, with updated overlays, animated pings, new minimap options, and smoother loadout and deploy navigation. Settings Settings and controls have expanded with new options like VO volume sliders, sprint bob reduction, and a camera roll toggle for accessibility, plus refinements across platforms. Audio Audio has been cleaned up so pings are easier to hear, weapons and vehicles sound sharper, and missing delayed effects won’t get in the way of your awareness.

Feature Spotlight - Challenge Rerolling
Hey everyone, If a challenge doesn't suit your playstyle, head to the challenges tab, select your challenge, and you'll see the option to reroll. As challenges vary from person to person, rerolls do not guarantee you'll receive a challenge you like. Which is why you have multiple rolls available per day for both Daily Challenges and per week for Weekly Challenges. You'll be able to gain the following depending on the version of the game you own. Daily Challenges: All players receive one daily reroll. Battlefield 6 owners receive an additional reroll. Battlefield Pro owners receive an additional reroll. This allows up to 3 rolls per day. Dailies reset at 04:00 UTC. Weekly Challenges: All players receive three weekly rerolls. Battlefield 6 owners receive an additional reroll. Battlefield Pro owners receive an additional reroll. This allows up to 5 rerolls per week on Weekly Challenges. Weeklies reset at 12:00 UTC every Tuesday. We hope this feature helps you find the challenges to match your playstyle![INFO] Battlefield 6: Mission Brief - Season 1

Introducing the Battlefield 6 Battle Pass and Battlefield Pro, Coming in Season 1 Drop Into REDSEC and Battlefield 6 Season 1 - Full Roadmap Revealed REDSEC Progress Carries Over - Continue All-Out Warfare in Battlefield 6 REDSEC New Player Guide Battlefield REDSEC - Gauntlet 101 Battlefield REDSEC - Battle Royale 101 Get help with Battle Pass in Battlefield 6 How to use the Battlefield Official Store How Battlefield REDSEC (F2P) works In Battlefield 6 Season 1, All-Out Warfare strikes the sprawling badlands of Southern California. These landscapes are jam-packed with secrets to die for: Classified military hardware, weapons of unprecedented power, cutting-edge gadgets, and a brand new way to put them all to the test in Strikepoint, a new high-intensity elimination mode. Storm into combat, or enhance and customize your experience with the power of Portal. All Season 1 hardware is also at your disposal in REDSEC, a free-to-play destination built on Battlefield’s iconic DNA. Drop into Fort Lyndon for a Battle Royale only Battlefield can deliver, featuring massive-scale destruction, fast-paced squad play, and the deadliest ring in BR. Survive and advance in Gauntlet: an all-new cutthroat, knockout-style elimination mode where squads race to complete missions. Then redraw the lines of battle with Portal, which will be free-to-create with all REDSEC assets - its map, modes and more - also available in the full experience. Building off our preview roadmap back in September, this is everything you need to know about REDSEC and Battlefield 6 Season 1: Rogue Ops - REDSEC An explosion rattles Fort Lyndon, a government testing ground hiding secrets to die for. An armada of Rogue Operators, veiled by the chaos, seize this moment to descend and wreak havoc. It’s up to your squad to stop them. At launch, the free-to-play REDSEC experience will feature a Battle Royale mode built on Battlefield DNA, as well as an all-new Multiplayer-inspired special operations mode in Gauntlet, all built around one core map. Welcome to Fort Lyndon War has erupted in Fort Lyndon. This massive battleground is loaded with endless Tactical Destruction possibilities [and secrets to die for]. Featuring an arsenal of unique combat zones: From pristine beaches, to wartorn military complexes, and everything in between, there are endless paths to victory for every squad on Battlefield’s biggest map ever. Carefully designed to accommodate all engagements - close-quarters to long-range, gunfights to vehicle combat, including on transport boats along the coastline - Fort Lyndon includes nine major points of interest (POIs) spanning across its coastal desert combat zone, ranging from the long-abandoned Marina and Main Street to the desolate blacksite remains at the Military Storage and R&D complexes. Tying these areas together are 16 additional POIs - Oil Pumps, a Lighthouse, Jewel Beach, and more - that weave together an immersive Southern California landscape designed as a tactical layout. Intel on the Fort Lyndon blacksite is invaluable, yet currently incomprehensive, for both Pax Armata and NATO: the most classified intelligence and equipment, let alone advantageous positions and where to find valuable loadout caches, is up to you to discover and share among your squad. REDSEC: Battle Royale A fast-paced squad vs. squad battle in Southern California, ending in a sudden death showdown inside the deadliest ring of fire in the history of Battle Royale. This is BR that can only happen in Battlefield. REDSEC’s Battle Royale experience is built on Battlefield’s foundation of iconic all-out warfare, tactical destruction, and squad-based gameplay defined by its Class System. The standard Battle Royale match holds up to 100 players in either four-player squad or duo formats at launch. Choose your class and Sidearm before dropping in, then work with your squad (or duo) to earn and unlock additional abilities, gadgets, call-ins and more to gain a tactical advantage. Scour the map to find loadout items, including weapons of various rarities and Upgrade Kits, or complete squad missions to unlock powerful rewards. You may even find a vehicle keycard that grants access to a heavy armored tank. We detail everything you need to know about Battle Royale in this guide here. REDSEC: Gauntlet Ready to run the Gauntlet? This all-new cutthroat, knockout-style, fast-paced elimination experience pits squads against each other in a series of high-octane missions, some of which will be familiar to Battlefield Multiplayer veterans. In Gauntlet, eight squads go head-to-head in a series of special missions that push every squad to their limit. Decryption, extraction, territory domination, target protection, explosive transport and more–only squads with the complete package will come out on top in this Gauntlet of elimination ending in a squad vs. squad showdown. Every Gauntlet “round” is a different mode or “missions,” such as Deadlock, a multi-team variant of King of the Hill, or Wreckage, which is similar to Rush. With eight mission types and numerous Combat Zones, it is incredibly rare to have the exact same Gauntlet mission sequence in back-to-back matches. However, prior to each mission, a miniature briefing takes place that details the rules of engagement and how points are scored. At the end of each round, the bottom two teams in that mission are eliminated from the Gauntlet leading up to the championship duel between two remaining squads. Everything you need to know about Gauntlet can be found here. REDSEC: Portal REDSEC gives unprecedented access to Portal’s massive sandbox.

Blackwell Fields - Map, Support for All Combat Sizes, Land and Air Vehicles (Battlefield 6) Blackwell Fields is an ominous large-scale All-Out-Warfare map set in Southern California with military facilities and scattered homesteads under siege, all under the backdrop of a breathtaking burning horizon. Each Multiplayer mode will focus on different areas of the map, with Conquest focusing on the full Badlands. Mid-sized and small team tactical modes, such as Breakthrough and the new Multiplayer mode Strikepoint, are played on an area in and around the map’s military depot, while small modes are centered around the fields’ scrapyard. Strikepoint - Mode, Designed for 4v4 Combat (Battlefield 6) o second chances. This fast-paced first-to-6 match has no respawns and only one capture point. To win a round, capture the point, or eliminate the enemy team. Tactical, objective-based teamwork is key to victory; from reviving downed squadmates to denying map routes and objective access with Gadgets and Throwables, coordinate with your squad to come up with a winning strategy. Armored Transport: Traverser Mark 2 - Land Vehicle (Battlefield 6) The Armored Transport (ATP), the vehicle designation to the faction-agnostic Traverser Mark 2, is the definition of an infantry support vehicle, providing strong onboard firepower as well as benefits for nearby allies. Bulkier than the Light Ground Transport with some mine blast protection , both NATO and PAX Armata use the Traverser Mark 2 to breach frontlines with its mounted roof gun and additional fire support from side gunner seats. Should a squadmate need a respawn, it can also serve as a spawn point. Its unique passive abilities grant benefits to all allies near the vehicle even if it is unoccupied; unlike most vehicles, staying near the Traverser Mark 2 will keep it under friendly team control and prevent it from being stolen. Rank up this hardware to discover its versatility, especially in tightly packed areas such as urban sprawls. SOR-300C - Carbine Rifle (Battlefield 6 AND REDSEC) This modular rifle in subcompact .300 BLK configuration favors close range engagements. The perfect weapon for mid-long range combat. A carbine rifle with a low rate of fire and increased recoil control. With a low rate of fire designed for better control, this subcompact carbine is chambered in the higher damage .300 Blackout ammunition compared to the platform’s 5.56 version. Mini Scout - Sniper Rifle (Battlefield 6 AND REDSEC) This lightweight scout rifle offsets reduced damage by allowing rapid follow-up shots without having to break focus. The spiritual successor to the Scout Elite. A fast, lightweight, bolt-action rifle capable of one-hit kill shots only to the head, unlike other bolt-action rifles. Its quick draw, aiming and rechambering times allow for fast-follow up shots that are needed to down enemies at any range. Battlefield veterans know how to work this weapon into their loadouts: a hardlined aggressive Recon soldier, determined to get behind enemy lines, can modify this weapon to make it the silent and lethal they need to finish any job. GGH-22 - Sidearm (Battlefield 6 AND REDSEC) A renowned semi-auto pistol with a .40 caliber chambering for improved ranged performance. High-capacity, high fire rate and low damage, this pistol is meant to bail out a soldier when their primary (and in the case of Assault, both their primaries) run dry. Not only will it be slightly better at a distance compared to other Sidearms, it is also a reliable backup that is ready at the hip when desperate times call for desperate measures. Rail Cover & LPVO - Attachments (Battlefield 6 AND REDSEC) Available for a variety of rifles and light machine guns, these two attachments - the Rail Cover and the SU-230 Low Powered Variable Optic (LPVO) - are the first of several to drop after launch to make you rethink how you spend those attachment points. The Rail Cover, which is available for specific weapons, improves weapon draw speed slightly, allowing for more mobility at a low attachment point cost. The SU-230 LPVO grants a precision sight picture with magnification levels ranging from 1x to 4x that can be manually adjusted. Both of these attachments are unlocked through a Season 1 Challenge Assignment. California Resistance - Available November 18 Season 1’s second phase is around the liberation of SoCal; prepare for combat on a new map in Eastwood and a new16-player Multiplayer mode in Battlefield 6, an additional Gauntlet Mode for REDSEC, and two new weapons to be used across Battlefield 6 and REDSEC. Eastwood - Map, Support for All Combat Sizes, Land Vehicles and Helicopters (Battlefield 6) War has come to an idyllic villa in Southern California. The luxurious pools and private golf courses of Eastwood have become a battleground. High-intensity action threatens the calm and serenity of this suburban landscape. Sabotage - Limited-Time Mode, Designed for 8v8 Combat (Battlefield 6) Protect and Destroy. Two teams fight to attack or defend high-priority cargo in multiple areas across the map. Cargo takes damage from grenades, gadgets, explosives –whatever it takes to get the job done. The team that destroys the most cargo wins. Rodeo - Gauntlet Mission (REDSEC) Saddle up for a tank-centered addition to the Gauntlet mission rotation. In Rodeo, squads must earn eliminations while occupying heavily armored tanks scattered throughout the playable area. The two squads with the least amount of points are removed from the Gauntlet match. Turfpro PVT Royale - Vehicle (Battlefield 6 AND REDSEC) The deadliest vehicle on the fairway. A 4-person Golf Cart that can transport any squad into or out of combat. Of course, this commandeered cart cannot handle on-board military-grade weapons, so any defense means must be provided by the infantry who dare to drive these carts into the heat of battle. Battle Pickups - Feature (Battlefield 6 AND REDSEC) Battle Pickups are weapons of unprecedented power that can turn the tides of battle. These weapons are rare and can only be found in high value caches around the map. Secure a Battle Pickup to gain a major tactical advantage for your squad. Rorsch Mk-2 SMRW: A chargeable Railgun inflicting massive damage to soldiers, vehicles, and structures. MP-RMG: A Minigun with a fast rate of fire, effective against light vehicles and infantry. DB-12 - Shotgun (Battlefield 6 AND REDSEC) A dual barrel pump-action shotgun that feeds from two different tubes. One trigger pull shoots the cartridge from one barrel, a second trigger pull shoots the other, then the pump action rechambers both barrels. M327 Trait - Sidearm (Battlefield 6 AND REDSEC) High damage with a low rate of fire, this eight-round revolver is strong up close with a considerable damage drop-off compared to the .44 Magnum. Slim Handstop - Attachment (Battlefield 6 AND REDSEC) The third attachment to come in Season 1, this grip offers an alternative choice for underbarrel choices with its unique blend of ergonomic and handling changes. Winter Offensive - Available December 9 Season 1’s final phase challenges your squad to break through an icy stalemate - expect the Empire State to freeze over, Multiplayer and Gauntlet mode variants using a new Ice Lock mechanic, and additional Portal updates before the end of the year. Ice Lock Empire State - Limited-Time Map Update (Battlefield 6) Environmental threats detected -- temperatures have dropped well below freezing in Brooklyn. Gear up, stay warm, and take complete control of the borough with this limited time visual update to the Empire State map. Ice Lock - Limited-Time Event (Battlefield 6) The Ice Lock looms… This Limited-Time Event is centered around a mechanic called Freeze, a gameplay modifier that slowly reduces player health if they do not seek external heat sources. Don’t be caught snowblind; Combat Zones will have designated Heat Zones to bring your core temperature back up to normal, or you can create fire using Incendiary Grenades and other Gadgets. Ice Lock Gauntlet - Limited-Time Event (REDSEC) Similar to the Ice Lock for Battlefield 6 Multiplayer, Gauntlet will have a Limited-Time Ice Lock variant that adds to the experience’s relentless nature with the sheer force of harsh winter conditions. Unlike a traditional Gauntlet on Fort Lyndon, Ice Lock Gauntlet takes place on the Battlefield 6 Multiplayer map Empire State Ice Lock with a locked set of three operations in every match. Master these operations while braving the effects of Freeze, and your squad will be rewarded with more than just the pride of victory. Ice Climbing Axe - Melee Designed to make an enemy’s blood run cold or pick through more delicate environmental pieces, expect this new melee tool to compliment this category typically reserved for knives and the sledgehammer. Portal Updates Expect a new Verified mode and all Winter Offensive content, including the Ice Lock Empire State map and the Ice Lock variant rules, to be added to Portal.
