Major Updates for 1.3.1.0 New Content Arrives: Season 3 begins with Railway to Golmud, Ranked Battle Royale Quads, new weapons, and a new Battle Pass, expanding both the scale of Battlefield 6 and the ways players can progress through the season. Competitive arrives in Battle Royale: Ranked Battle Royale Quads arrives with Season 3, supported by broader updates to mission flow, Loot Detection, Anti-Vehicle Drops, scoring, and downed-state to deliver a clearer and more consistent match experience from drop to extraction. Vehicles Receive a Major Overhaul: Land and air vehicles have gone through a broad balance and handling pass, with tracked vehicle mobility reworked, tank damage and regeneration systems updated, repair behaviour rebalanced, and a wide set of vehicle weapons retuned to make survivability, counterplay, and damage output more predictable. Read more about it in our Community Update. Gadgets Receive Further Updates: Mines, Launchers, the Portable Mortar, the Engineers Supply Crate, the Hardware Suppression System, and laser designation tools have all been updated as part of the broader vehicle pass, with a focus on making launchers more viable, giving anti-vehicle gadgets clearer roles, and improving clarity and consistency in how support gadgets behave in combat. Weapons Get a Balance and Usability Pass: Automatic weapon recoil has been adjusted to better define weapon strengths at range, shotguns receive new attachment options, the Magnifier is now available as a shared optic accessory, and multiple reload, animation, reticle, and attachment issues have been resolved to improve handling and readability as we continue to improve gunplay. Core Gameplay, Netcode, and Combat Feedback Improvements: Pinging is now faster and more consistent, hit reactions and damage indicators are clearer, drag and revive has been further polished, and multiple netcode fixes improve readability during combat without interfering with gunfight outcomes. Broader updates to UI, Audio, AI, Settings, and Portal: Seasonal Statistics have been added to the Player Profile, aircraft now receive clearer threat indicators, AI support in Strikepoint has been improved, new upscaling options have been added, and Portal continues to expand with new support, tools, and functionality updates. CHANGELOG PLAYER: Added a slight delay before entering ADS locomotion from a standstill to allow small position adjustments without affecting the reticle. Added bespoke third-person prone on back grenade throw animations. Bipoding while being pushed up against a wall is no longer cancelled automatically. Bullet impacts now leave visible decals on vehicle surfaces for improved visual feedback. Corrected an issue that would prevent Soldier Training Paths from applying properly when Quick Customize was finished. Corrected an issue where a player jumping from a moving vehicle would be seen as stuttering in third-person. Corrected an issue where bashing through doors wouldn't cancel the reload animation even after aborting the action, leading to the player being stuck in reloads. Corrected an issue where drag and revive could sometimes fail to revive a player at the end of the revive sequence. Corrected an issue where dragging and reviving would sometimes be cancelled when on uneven terrain. Corrected an issue where player movement would sometimes be jittery when holding the fire button after firing a single fire weapon. Corrected an issue where the player's ragdoll would slide away if killed after they’ve fallen. Corrected an issue where the soldier's legs could be moving while standing still on a boat. Corrected an issue where the weapon sometimes could be jittery when moving slowly in ADS while being prone. Corrected an issue where upward camera shake from bullet hits could persist longer than intended and briefly affect player aim. Corrected an issue where weapon flashlights and lasers were visible for spawning soldiers before the soldiers themselves were visible. Corrected a performance issue in the Firing Range when large numbers of bullet holes appeared on glass surfaces. Corrected an issue where iron sights could show incorrect green highlighting on squadmates’ weapons when using upscalers. Corrected an issue where magnifier attachments could partially or fully block the view while aiming down sights. Improve third-person soldier locomotion animations when moving on top of vehicles Improved ragdoll stability when bodies come to rest on moving platforms such as vehicles. Improved responsiveness and visual quality of entering ladders that start higher than the ground level. Increased the Critical Assist window from 1.5 seconds to 3 seconds. Jumping from a moving vehicle now properly inherits the velocity of the moving vehicle. Optimised bullet decal updates to improve performance when many are visible at once. Reduced memory allocation spikes during local light shadow updates. Reduced visual artifacts around players and weapons when using FSR 4 Frame Generation. Solved an exploit that allowed players to move faster while dragging and reviving another player. Updated animations from breaking when entering water under certain conditions such as combat diving, sliding and sprinting for first and third person. Weapons are now lowered while UI menus are open where firing is not possible, such as the Options menu or Commorose. Updated the Engineer Field Specialization passive skills Reduced the Devastating Impact repair reduction from -50% to -25%. Reduced the Overheat Control Vehicle weapon effect from -50% to -10%. Replaced the Vehicle Regeneration passive skill with a new Mine Sweeping skill. When learned, the Mine Sweeping passive skill will highlight mines in a 30m area around the player. Netcode Corrected animation stuttering when unmounting from bipod at an angle Corrected an issue where enemy weapons could appear sideways and not properly aligned with their actual aim direction in certain states, such as while jumping. Corrected an issue where first-person death animations would start with some delay which led to unclarity on the state of change. Corrected an issue where first-person hit reactions could play when incoming bullets missed the player and passed behind them. Corrected an issue where high latency players would not deal armor damage and not apply expected damage modifications. Corrected an issue where projectiles could fire from the wrong position height during stance transitions under poor network conditions causing bullet hits to be rejected by the server. Corrected an issue where some UI elements like the inventory would not be immediately hidden when killed Incoming damage UI indicators now animate and scale based on the amount of damage taken, improving the clarity of rapid consecutive hits and making it easier to distinguish between low and high damage. Reduced network bandwidth usage when switching state from “Alive” to “ManDown”. Taking damage while aiming down sights now triggers hit reactions that move the weapon opposite to the direction of impact, improving damage feedback without interfering with the outcome of gunfights. VEHICLES: Added previously missing "Activate Equipment Slot 1" to Transport Vehicle keybindings Camera on light ground transports now pulls further out at speed to improve driving visibility. Corrected an issue where some vehicles remained in a critical health state after being repaired, resulting in slower health regeneration than intended. Corrected an issue where the first-person HUD range finder of the tank would visually interpolate to the actual distance when switching from third- to first-person Corrected an issue where the player would be kicked off the Dirt Bike when doing a flip. Corrected an issue where vehicle wrecks would not be destructible as intended. Fixed issues where locking weapons could target vehicles while their flares were still active, resulting in a missed shot. Jets and helicopters will now have an indicator on their HUD clearly showing whether or not they are currently being protected by below radar. Angle & Zone Damage Rework The angle damage model on tanks is being simplified to improve the ability to predict the amount of incoming damage and gauge your own survivability. Additionally, the numbers have been tuned to reduce the most extreme peaks of damage, especially when firing at the rear of tanks. This will truncate the possible time to die within a smaller range. Damage to turrets always deals 75% damage. Damage to the Body of the tank always deals at least 100% damage. Hits at a favourable angle from the side of the tank will deal 150% damage. Hits at a favourable angle from the rear of the tank will deal 200% damage. Weapons no longer deal different damage values to IFV, MBT, APT & AA Vehicles. Instead, MBT health has been increased to 1200 and APT health has been reduced to 800. Reworking Regeneration Brackets The healthy portion of armored vehicles will no longer be split into brackets. The critical health bracket, which previously prevented regeneration entirely, will instead slow regeneration substantially. Regeneration delay increased from 6 seconds to 12 seconds. Regeneration now continues to full health instead of only to the next health bracket. Regeneration rate increased from roughly 5% per second to 10% per second. While in critical health, regeneration is now slowed by 80% instead of being fully disabled. Handling Changes Updated all tracked vehicles with a new transmission and steering system, delivering smoother and more responsive acceleration, tighter and more consistent turning at all speeds, a smoother steering feel, and more effective handbrake turns. Tank type vehicles are no longer immobilized by taking high damage (Anti Tank mines will still immobilize Tanks). The ground vehicle boost bar is no longer emptied when interrupting boost. Boost can now be re-applied even when the bar is recharging, except when it has been fully emptied. Turret speeds for the MBT and IFV have been modestly improved. Aiming in first-person and zoomed views in the tanks has been tuned to be faster and more responsive. Vehicle Weapons General Changes Lock-on weapons now always do consistent damage, ignoring zones and angles. Zone and angle damage is reserved for weapons which are manually aimed by players. Most land vehicle explosive weapons now have a minimum explosive damage of 20%. This does not increase lethal or total radius, but increases damage at the edges of explosive radius to make hits to kill more consistent. The Aim-Guided Missile now deals 207-550 damage against tanks, 1000 against helicopters, and 1000 against jets. Air-to-Ground Missiles now deal 450 damage against tanks, 975 against helicopters, and 1000 against jets. M1A2 SEPv3 and Leo A4 Weapons 120mm HEAT-MP-T Rounds now deal 210-560 damage against tanks, 1360 against helicopters, and 1000 against jets. 120mm HEMP-T Rounds now deal 180-480 damage against tanks, 1180 against helicopters, and 1000 against jets. Increased the inner blast radius of 120mm HEMP-T Rounds from 2 to 2.25 meters. 120mm APFSDS Rounds now deal 282-750 damage against tanks, 600 against helicopters, and 750 against jets. Updated the M1A2 SEPv3 and Leo A4 Aim-Guided Shell to better control its effective range and overall performance, especially against aircraft. Aim-Guided Shell beam-riding offset increased from 75 to 100 meters, reducing the rate of turning response. Aim-Guided Shell engine time to live reduced from 1.25 to 1 second. Aim-Guided Shell now experiences Drag after engine cutoff. Aim-Guided Shell time to live decreased from 6 to 4 seconds. Aim-Guided Shell turning rate reduced from 12.5 to 6 degrees per second. Aim-Guided Shells now deal 235-625 damage against tanks, 700 against helicopters, and 1000 against jets. Remains lethal against soldiers within 2m. M3A3 Bradley and Strf 09 A4 IFV Weapons Increased all IFV Cannon Reload times from 2.4 to 2.75. HEI-T Rounds now deal 10-30 damage against tanks, 100 against helicopters, and 150 against jets. Decreased the IFV HE Rounds rate of fire from 200 to 180 RPM. Increased the Drag of IFV HE Rounds. AP shells now deal 23-60 damage against tanks, 100 against helicopters, and 100 against jets. Decreased the APDS Rounds magazine capacity from 12 to 10. Decreased the APDS Rounds rate of fire from 200 to 120 RPM. Increased the IFV Canister Rounds magazine capacity from 12 to 16. Increased the IFV Canister Rounds rate of fire from 200 to 240 RPM. Lock-Guided Missiles now deal 390 damage against tanks, 845 against helicopters, and 1000 against jets. Light Rockets now deal 75-200 damage against tanks, 550 against helicopters, and 700 against jets. RWS Gunner & Coax Weapons Reduced minimum damage of RWS & Coaxial LMG from 21 to 19. Reduced muzzle velocity of RWS & Coaxial LMG from 850 to 670 m/s. Extended falloff start distance of RWS & Coaxial LMG from 20 to 25 meters. Shortened falloff end distance of RWS & Coaxial LMG from 75 to 60 meters. Reduced minimum damage (75+ meters) of RWS and Coaxial HMG from 30 to 24. Reduced muzzle velocity of RWS & Coaxial HMG from 890 to 760 m/s. Reduced the maximum spread and spread gain per shot of RWS and Coaxial HMGs. Reduced the spread recovery rate of RWS and Coaxial HMGs. Reduced the reload time of the Automatic Grenade Launcher RWS Weapon from 3 to 2 seconds. Removed projectile velocity inheritance from the Automatic Grenade Launcher RWS Weapon. This will improve consistency when aiming from a moving vehicle. Helicopter Weapons Light Rockets now deal 23-60 damage against tanks, 225 against helicopters, and 330 against jets. Helicopter Light Rocket area of effect reduced from 5 to 4.75 meters. Aim-Guided Rockets now deal 50-132 damage against tanks, 320 against helicopters, and 460 against jets. Helicopter Smart Rocket area of effect reduced from 5 to 4.75 meters. Heavy Rockets now deal 94-250 damage against tanks, 300 against helicopters, and 450 against jets. Helicopter Heavy Rocket area of effect reduced from 5.5 to 5.25 meters. Attack Helicopter M41A7 TOW2 missiles maximum speed increased from 90 to 120 m/s. Ground vehicle TOW missiles remain at 90 m/s. Removed projectile velocity inheritance from Transport Helicopter side gunner seats. This removes the need to ‘lag’ shots when firing from a fast moving helicopter. Jet Weapons Attack Jet Mk82 High Drag Bombs now deal 300-400 damage against tanks, 1080 against helicopters, and 1000 against jets. Fighter Jet GBU-39/B Small Diameter Bombs now deal 410-535 damage against tanks, 1455 against helicopters, and 1000 against jets. Vehicle Equipment The Reinforced Plating Passive has been removed and replaced with Contingency Systems No longer increases the damage resistance of the vehicle. No longer increases the weight or reduces the speed of the vehicle. When at low health, accelerates the cooldown of Countermeasure equipment. Targeting Jammer passives have been improved Targeting Jammers for the IFV & Mobile AA have their locking resistance increased from 30% to 40%. Targeting Jammers for the IFV & Mobile AA no longer deactivate when firing. Targeting Jammers for IFV & Mobile AA now deactivate when laser painted. Targeting Jammers for IFV & Mobile AA now deactivate when using a lock on weapon. Targeting Jammers for IFV & Mobile AA deactivation time increased from 4.5 to 10 seconds. Counterfire Radar has been partially reworked Now passively provides short duration spotting upon receiving damage. This short spot is not shared with teammates. Can be manually activated in order to extend the duration of currently spotted targets, and share the spotting information with your teammates. When activated, spotted vehicles are also laser designated for the duration. Thermal Smoke Updates Increased active duration by 3 seconds so it now matches the visual effect duration. Now blocks the PTKM-1R Acoustic Sensor AV Mine from detecting the vehicle while active. Reduced the cooldown of the Smoke Screen from 20 to 16 seconds. The smoke will now deal moderate damage to nearby enemy infantry who remain within the cloud. This damage will also destroy C-4. While remaining inside of your thermal smoke, all hits will be registered as minimum damage hits (75% damage). General Equipment Changes The IFV no longer has the laser designator equipped by default, it now shares a slot with the Mines Countermeasures & Smoke grenades. The Mine Countermeasures, previously available only to the MBT & APT, is now available to the IFV. The Mobile Command Centre Passive, previously exclusive to the APT, is now available to the IFV. The Transport Helicopter now has the Improved Armor passive equipped by default. This functions identically to the Attack Helicopter’s version of the same passive, reducing the amount of damage taken from small arms fire. Emergency Repair now heals over time instead of healing instantly upon activation. Reduced the activation time of Projectile Intercept System from 1s to 0.6s on land vehicles. GADGETS: Added a warning indicator for the PTKM-1R Acoustic Sensor AV Mine when the submunition launches. Corrected an issue preventing the Supply Crate from resupplying soldiers inside vehicles. Corrected an issue where deploying the T-UGS would always switch players back to their Primary Weapon instead of their previously equipped item. Corrected an issue where the Incendiary Airburst could sometimes fail to properly detect and damage targets inside its burning smoke cloud. Player-controlled gadgets, including the Portable Mortar, XFMG-6D Recon Drone, LTLM II Laser Designator, and the CSB IV EOD Bot, now only begin resupplying once the deployed gadget has been destroyed. PTKM-1R Acoustic Mines and M15 AV Mines no longer trigger for Light Transport or Personal Transport vehicles. Tuned the M18A1 Claymore detection arc to better match the visible laser beams. Updated C-4 packs so they now deal 350 damage against tanks, 350 against helicopters, and 1000 against jets. Updated the M136 AT so they now deal 207-550 damage against tanks, 1000 against helicopters, and 1000 against jets. Updated the Engineers Supply Crate so it no longer has limited supply charges in standard Multiplayer, allowing it to resupply nearby vehicles indefinitely. Updated the M18A1 Claymore fragmentation base close range damage from 65 to 50. Damage drop-off now starts at the edge of the detection arc. Updated the Portable Mortar’s shot dispersion so it is no longer perfectly accurate at maximum range, with shorter-range bombardments now becoming much more accurate than longer-range bombardments once fully zeroed. Updated the PTKM-1R Acoustic Mine so it now deals 480 damage against tanks. Updated the RPG so it now deals 173-460 damage against tanks, 1035 against helicopters, and 1000 against jets.

Corrected an issue on Manhattan Bridge where players were able to access rooftops meant to be inaccessible. Corrected floating and intersecting spawns on Mirak Valley for Breakthrough, Conquest, and Escalation. UI & HUD: Dev note: In Season 3, we’re introducing the Seasonal Stat Page, a new way to track your performance across each season. By separating seasonal stats from your lifetime totals, you can now get a clearer picture of how you performed during a specific Season of Battlefield. We know that every game mode means something different to different players. That’s why the Seasonal Stat Page not only tracks your overall seasonal performance, but also allows you to break down how you performed in each game mode. With the introduction of ranked play, it was important for us to give you a dedicated view into your competitive performance. You can now filter your seasonal stats to see how you performed in Ranked matches throughout the season. The Seasonal screen highlights your core metrics like Kills, K/D, Assists, Revives, Wins, and Time Played, alongside a new “Most Played” section that showcases the weapons, vehicles, gadgets, and roles that defined your season. Were you leading the charge as Assault? Piloting the Little Bird? Or grinding the ranks with the new Season 3 weapons? Every season tells a story. Now you can see yours.

MAP: Dev Note: With Season 3, we’re introducing Loot Detection to Battle Royale on Fort Lyndon. This feature is designed to make the opening moments of a match feel more focused, while also helping players get re-equipped faster when returning to the fight. When you first deploy, or return through a revive or respawn, nearby loot containers within 50 metres will be revealed through walls for 80 seconds. The goal is to give you a clearer, immediate objective, improve navigation around nearby loot, and help you put together a workable loadout sooner for early engagements. Loot Detection should also help squads loot more effectively together in the early game, allowing players to spread across nearby containers without moving too far away from one another. As always, we’ll be monitoring feedback and gameplay data after release to see whether any further tuning is needed. Battle Royale Added Loot Detection to Battle Royale on Fort Lyndon.

The Box Truck has been renamed to the Explosive Ordnance Transporter and its loot pool has been refreshed to better counter vehicles and provide more explosive ordnance options. Updated Anti-Vehicle Drop loot to provide more reliable counters to enemy tanks. Gauntlet Corrected an issue that could cause a user to become spawn camped on the Circuits mission in Gauntlet.

Corrected an issue where Redeploy Towers were not being properly tracked towards Challenges. Distance travelled in boats no longer counts towards “Initiation Assignment - Vehicle Challenge 1”. Reduced the XP needed to level up in Battle Royale Duos from 1700 to 1500 for each level. 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.
BATTLEFIELD 6 GAME UPDATE 1.2.3.0
Battlefield 6 Game Update 1.2.3.0 arrives on April 14, with new content and improvements, including the Operation Augur limited-time mode, the LTV, the Ripper 14”, and a new Battle Pass Bonus Path. At 09:00 UTC, players will be able to download Update 1.2.3.0 as it goes live across all platforms. At 12:00 UTC, all content included in this update goes live, including new limited-time content, vehicles, weapons, and Battle Pass updates. Alongside the new content, Update 1.2.3.0 also delivers a wide range of gameplay, progression, UI, audio, and Portal improvements to further polish the overall Battlefield 6 experience. NEW CONTENT Time to fight for survival. This update expands the fight with new rewards to earn, a new frontline support vehicle to deploy, and Operation Augur, a new limited-time mode fought across Contaminated and Hagental Base. Battle Pass Bonus Path Gear up for the harsh conditions ahead with a new Battle Pass Bonus Path packed with rewards built for the fight. Unlock equipment and cosmetics designed to help you endure the hostile environment and stay combat-ready as the battle for control intensifies. New Limited-Time Mode Operation Augur: The battle for Hagental Base has begun. In Operation Augur, NATO launches a desperate push to reclaim its satellite defence network from Pax Armata in a large-scale battle fought across two connected maps. The fight begins in Contaminated, where attacking forces can use VL-7 smoke to disrupt defenders and create openings across the frontline. From there, the battle descends into Hagental Base, where the fighting shifts into a tense close-quarters clash through tight interior spaces where teamwork, timing, and tactical play become critical to claim victory over Hagental Base. Operation Augur is all-out warfare across two phases of combat, where strong squad play will make the difference between holding the line and breaking through. New Vehicle The LTV: The NATO variant of the Traverser Mark 2 arrives on the frontline. Built to keep squads in the fight, the LTV supports your team with spawn functionality and health and ammo resupply stations. With four seats available, it gives your squad the space and support needed to stay together, push objectives, and hold ground under pressure. New Weapon The Ripper 14”: Sharpen your attack with the Ripper 14”, a deadly new blade built for aggressive close-quarters combat. Fast, direct, and unforgiving, it is made for players who want to finish the fight up close. Obtainable through Hunter/Pray Battlepass Progression. New Training Path in REDSEC Battle Royale The Hazmat Breacher is a new Training Path for the Assault Class in Battle Royale designed to empower its users into becoming the ultimate entry fragger. Leveraging a modified Breaching Dart Launcher firing a concentrated form of VL-7 Smoke, players are able to weaken and dislodge dug-in foes, while protecting themselves from negative effects thanks to their Protective Mask. Leveling up this Training Path throughout a BR match will provide improvements to both the Protective Mask and to basic soldier survivability. Major Updates for 1.2.3.0 New Content Arrives: Operation Augur arrives alongside the LTV, the Ripper 14”, and a new Battle Pass Bonus Path that expands the rewards available during the fight for survival. Progression Feels More Rewarding: Weapon XP and Vehicle XP are now earned through active use alongside kills and assists, XP rates have been increased slightly across Multiplayer, and Battle Royale and Gauntlet progression now place more weight on time spent in a match, with Battle Royale also awarding higher scores for kills and damage assists. Battle Royale and Gauntlet Improvements: Loot flow has been updated, Strike Packages and Armour Plate availability have been rebalanced, and a wider pass on challenge tracking, objective progression, and End of Round presentation helps both modes play and reward more consistently. Combat Feedback and Gameplay Clarity: Incoming hit audio is now clearer, rapid damage is easier to read, projectile and tracer behaviour is more consistent, and network warning indicators now provide better visibility during live combat. Weapons and Gadgets Receive a Broad Polish Pass: Defibrillators and the AJ-03 COAG Med Pen have been updated, while attachments, animations, unlock presentation, and challenge tracking have all seen further improvements. UI, HUD and Front-End Improvements: Menus, challenges, loadouts, End of Round screens, localisation, Store presentation, and Battle Pass readability have all been updated to improve clarity and consistency across the experience. Portal, AI, Audio and Settings Enhancements: Bot support has been expanded across Multiplayer and Operations, Portal tools and web app behaviour have been improved, audio has received further polish, and new controller tuning support has been added through the Deadzones Draw Tool. CHANGELOG PLAYER: Corrected the in-game wording for the Career Total statistic tied to distance travelled as a passenger. Improved the display of completed assignments at End of Round. Improved the display of Dog Tag unlock criteria after completing or exiting a match. Improved the Profile statistics page so it no longer shows a persistent loading square. Updated the Sprint Slide tooltip so its trigger criteria now match the intended behaviour. Corrected the matchmaking stance for the SOR-300 so the weapon is now held correctly. Lasers and flashlights now enter a short cooldown after repeated rapid toggles to prevent input spamming. Ping voice-over callouts now have a slight 0.15 second delay to improve timing and readability. Soldier acceleration curves have been slightly adjusted to better support 30Hz experiences, improving responsiveness in the opening moments of movement. Soldiers no longer continue sliding across the ground after exiting a vehicle that is moving uphill. Soldiers now align more reliably with stairs and uneven terrain while prone. Soldiers’ heads are now less likely to clip through nearby geometry while using ladders. Third-person melee animations now exit correctly when performing a quick melee while holding another weapon.

Grenades are now correctly dropped if a player is killed while preparing a throw. Hit damage feedback audio now plays more promptly when taking incoming fire. Incoming hit audio has been fine-tuned so quick consecutive hits are clearer, especially during engagements against high rate of fire weapons. Network bandwidth usage has been optimised so more weapon data can be sent in a single update. Projectiles will no longer occasionally spawn at the wrong height during stance transitions under poor network conditions, which could previously lead to shots not registering. Trade-kill distance has been reduced to 30m from 50m to reduce cases where damage could be rejected during mid-range engagements. Visual bullet tracers now line up more reliably with the damage you receive. VEHICLES: Added the LTV, a new NATO variant of the Traverser Mark 2 APC. Camera transitions now snap back to the soldier instantly when redeploying or dying when remote controlling a vehicle. Fixed an issue where land vehicles moving at crawl speed could still trigger mines when travelling across bumpy terrain. Improved the Legion CWZ Automated AA to help prevent enemy jets from being stolen or spawn-killed. Improved the MBT decal customisation flow so the camera point of view now returns to the selected decal position after leaving Inspect View. Restored the “Relentless Trample” vehicle decal so it now appears in-game. RHIB Completed a broader polish pass focused on improving RHIB handling and overall usability. Improved audio presentation while turning and when impacting waves and the water surface. Improved handling to make the RHIB feel more nimble and easier to point.

Defibrillators Dev Note: This update brings a meaningful balance pass to the Defibrillator, aimed at improving game flow and overall combat pacing while keeping revives impactful and rewarding. After reviewing its behavior over the past few months, we found it was too easy to revive multiple teammates in quick succession with minimal risk. Our goal is to preserve those clutch moments where you can get your squad back on their feet quickly, while encouraging more deliberate use. To support this, the Defibrillator now uses a charge system (similar to earlier Battlefield titles), starting with 3 charges that allow for a few rapid revives before needing to recharge. Revive health scales with charge time: 50% instantly, up to 100% when fully charged, with smooth steps in between. A new UI indicator shows your charge progress to help you time revives effectively. In addition, the health given with the charge duration can also be dealt as damage against enemies. This means that you can once again kill a player in one zap, if you’ve charged the defibrillator fully. PSA from your teammate that has been waiting to be revived for the past 10 seconds: Please fully charge your defibrillator! Here are all of the details around what changes with the Defibrillator this update: Added a progress crosshair UI while charging. Damage now scales from 50 to 100 based on charge level, in 10-point increments. Fixed cases where downed soldiers could not be revived when pressed into corners or when lying on stairs. Full charge time has been increased to 1 second from 0.65 seconds. Fully charged shocks now deal 100 damage again, up from 60. Now use 3 charges that regenerate over time, with 1 charge restored every 4 seconds. Now requires a 0.35 second charge before a revive can be performed. The rate of fire is slightly reduced. Revives now restore between 50 and 100 health based on charge level, in 10-point increments. Updated deploy timing so charging can begin faster after selecting the gadget. WEAPONS: Added the Ripper 14” Machete melee weapon as a part of the Hunter/Pray Battlepass Progression. Hollow Point and Synthetic Tip ammunition now cost less on most weapons. Range Finder now plays sound cues when a range check starts and when it completes. Corrected an issue on the CZ3A1 where throwing grenades while it was equipped could introduce a delay before the grenade was thrown. Corrected an issue on the DB-12 where certain attachments did not animate correctly during pump-action and reloads. Tweaked and retuned DB-12 animation tags to smooth transitions into and out of aiming down sights. Fixed camera recoil being lower than intended on the TH-RDS 1.00x optic attachment. The DRS-TH optic now appears correctly on the B36A4 and SVDM. Tweaked and retuned M87A1 animation values to smooth transitions into and out of reloads while aiming down sights. Corrected an issue where aiming sideways when using melee weapons could cause missing yaw rotation while a melee weapon was equipped. Corrected an issue where the Violet Laser was not providing its intended benefit when attached to the NVO-228E Assault Rifle. PROGRESSION: Dev note: One recurring point of feedback has been that Weapon Mastery progression can feel too dependent on kills and assists. Players who spend a match repairing vehicles or supporting their squad are still contributing in meaningful ways, but that contribution has not always been reflected clearly in progression. To address that, we’ve added a time-based component to Weapon Mastery progression. Players will now continue earning progress through active use, even when they are not regularly securing kills or assists. XP earned from kills and assists is unchanged, making this an increase to the overall earn rate rather than a reduction or replacement of existing rewards. Added a new progression system that awards Weapon XP and Vehicle XP for use, alongside kills and assists. Adjusted XP earn rates across Multiplayer modes by roughly 5% to 10% to bring them closer in line with one another. Corrected the tracking for challenges so that damage by stationary aim-guided missiles now counts toward explosive damage criteria where intended. Corrected the End of Round unlock flow so the CZ Skorpion VZ.61 now appears correctly after completing the challenge “Deal damage with Secondary Weapons. Counts double in Nightfall modes.”. Corrected the Onboarding challenge “Capture Objectives in a Vehicle” so it now progresses as intended. Corrected the Week 6 challenge “Deal damage with Grenade Launchers or Grenades” so it now properly tracks damage dealt with underbarrel Grenade Launchers on Assault Rifles. Corrected the Week 10 challenge “Kill enemies with Sniper Rifles. Headshot Kills count double.” so 75m Sniper headshots no longer count twice, and the challenge text now reflects the intended criteria. Corrected the Week 11 Bonus Weekly Challenge so kills made with underbarrel Grenade Launchers on Assault Rifles now award the intended double progression. Improved the “Rapid Fire 1” challenge notification in free-to-play modes so it now shows the full challenge presentation instead of only the weapon name. Corrected the BF Pro Season 2 Challenge 5 reward criteria so the correct unlock requirements are shown in Loadouts. Corrected Challenge “Capture or defend sectors in sector based modes.” so its first criteria now progresses correctly. Corrected Challenge “Deal Damage as a Squad in Multiplayer.” so Multiplayer damage no longer advances the free-to-play requirement incorrectly. Corrected Challenge “Kill enemies from a distance of 25 meters or less in Multiplayer.” so the missing "OR" condition now displays correctly. Corrected Challenge “Get Kills and Assists in Multiplayer.” so the reward and Redsec capitalisation now appear correctly. Corrected Challenge “Capture an enemy flag without leaving the vehicle in Conquest, Breakthrough or Escalation.” so its criteria no longer refers to Squad progress in a Solo mode.

Corrected End of Round challenge notifications so daily missions now appear correctly after completion.

Corrected OR challenge presentation so configured tags now display correctly on criteria. Corrected Season 2 Hardware progression so challenges no longer appear completed before any progress is made. Corrected Season 2 Hardware rewards so the fifth item now appears correctly in the Season 2 Hardware tab. Corrected the Season 1 Catch-Up Hardware quest so grenade kills and assists now track correctly. Improved Season 2 challenge accuracy across Week 1, Week 6, Week 11, “Complete matches in any mode”, “Earn score, counts double in Battle Royale”, the weekly challenge “Earn score, counts double in Battle Royale”, and “Deal damage with Explosives or Incendiaries.” so the in-game presentation now matches the intended design. Corrected an issue where weekly free-to-play challenges and missions tagged with “All Modes” now unlock and track properly for eligible players. Improved Red Bull challenge setup so “In Gauntlet: RB Supermoto, Capture Red Checkpoints as a squad.” uses the correct tag, “Earn Score while driving land vehicles, counts for double if gained in Gauntlet: RB Supermoto” now tracks and doubles correctly, that “Get total airtime in seconds using the ATV, Motorcycle or Light Infantry Vehicle.” now supports all intended Light Transport vehicles, and the F-97 Kestrel now uses its player-facing name instead of a dev-facing one. Improved Weekly Missions “Kill enemies and Revive teammates” so the bonus reward now displays correctly after completion. Updated Assault 1 assignments so the incorrect "OR" category no longer appears. Updated Multiplayer challenge licensing so MP-only OR challenges now display as locked for free-to-play users.

Corrected the BF Pro Season 2 Battle Pass pre-purchase flow so players can now purchase the BF Pro version correctly. Corrected the CZ3A1 Iron Sights icon alignment in the soldier inventory. Corrected the “Death Stalkers” Battle Pass reward flow so missing tiers now appear after purchasing BF Pro.

Hey everyone, Since launching on March 17, Nightfall has brought a darker, more intense atmosphere to the battlefield, and it’s been great seeing so many of you adapt to its different style of combat while others have been taking the dirt bikes for a ride with some crazy flips and bold landings. We wanted to share some of the key themes we’re seeing so far, as well as looking ahead at what’s planned for Phase 3, Hunter/ Prey. Hagental Base has been a standout addition for many of you. We’ve seen strong feedback around its layout, atmosphere, and how it plays, with particular praise for its visual direction and how it supports close-quarters combat. The Night Vision experience has also been well received, with many of you highlighting how it changes the way you move, communicate, and approach engagements. It’s been great to see squads adapting to the lower-visibility environment and leaning into a more deliberate playstyle. We’ve seen strong interest in experiences like Nightfall sticking around beyond their initial play window. With the next phase of the season, both the VL-7 Smoke and Night Mode will be added to Portal, giving players another way to continue experimenting with these modifiers beyond their featured time frame. We’ll continue evaluating how Limited-Time Modes are received and where they may make sense to return, evolve, or live on in other ways across Battlefield. Hunter/ Prey Hunter/ Prey goes live on April 14 and marks the final phase of Season 2. This update introduces more progression improvements, refines squad communication systems, and makes targeted adjustments to Battle Royale pacing and resource flow. It also restores VL-7 Smoke to Gauntlet as a permanent mission modifier. Progression Updates Progression has been one of the most consistent areas of feedback since launch. Since the start of Season 2, we’ve further streamlined challenges, accelerated Battle Pass progression through XP, added more XP Boost rewards to early Career ranks, moved camo unlocks earlier, reduced all Mastery XP requirements, and introduced a new XP curve that speeds up overall progression. We’ve also made improvements across challenges, tracking, and end-of-round progression to make the experience more reliable. With Hunter/ Prey, we’re continuing that work with additional updates across weapons, vehicles, Career ranks, and REDSEC progression. Vehicle and Weapon Progression You will earn Mastery XP by using weapons or vehicles, along with eliminations. Career Progression XP earn rates across Multiplayer modes will be adjusted slightly to keep progression more consistent between playlists. REDSEC Progression REDSEC modes will reward time spent in matches more heavily, instead of focusing primarily on final placement. Career XP earned in REDSEC will better align with Multiplayer progression pacing. In Battle Royale, kills and damage assists will provide 50% higher scores, resulting in more Weapon XP per match. As always, we will continue to monitor data and feedback as these changes roll out. Ping System Improvements With Hunter/ Prey, we’re addressing several issues that affected spotting and ping reliability across Battle Royale and Multiplayer. Long-range spotting for vehicles and drones should work more consistently, and enemy soldiers will be prioritized more reliably over nearby interactable objects. We’re also resolving issues that affected pings disappearing when pinging from certain vehicles. With Battle Royale specifically, we are improving how certain items respond when pinged and addressing cases where pings would persist incorrectly after equipment changes. That means pings on loot should register more consistently, update properly when items are picked up, and clear correctly when canceled. This includes pings on the big map. These updates are focused on restoring confidence in squad communication and ensuring that when you ping something, it behaves the way you expect, whether you are marking from a vehicle, marking a route forward, highlighting loot, or calling attention to an objective your squad needs to secure. We’re continuing to evaluate how the ping system performs across the wider game. Communication is core to Battlefield squad play, and we’ll keep refining clarity, responsiveness, and consistency beyond this update. REDSEC Changes Battle Royale We’re improving early and mid-game flow based on feedback, with the intention to reduce downtime, improve pacing, and encourage more dynamic and balanced gameplay. Ammo Drops will contain increased ammunition quantities and include armor plates. MRAPVs and Safes will also provide additional armor plates in place of grenades. We’re also introducing a new Armor Drop Strike Package. When deployed, it provides 12 armor plate pickups, each one granting 2 plates, for a total of 24. This gives squads another strategic option when preparing for extended engagements. Chest opening animations are being sped up slightly to help maintain looting momentum. We’ll be monitoring how this feels in live matches and may adjust further based on feedback. We are also bringing the Traverser Mark 2, also known as the Armored Transport, back to Battle Royale in the next update, but with its weapons removed. We saw the impact its armor and turret could have on match flow, and this change is intended to bring it back in a way that better fits the mode. Additionally, for Battle Royale only, the Sledgehammer’s damage against destructible walls and objects has been increased. If you prefer to create your own entry points rather than use the front door, you’ll now have more freedom to reshape the environment. Gauntlet The VL-7 Smoke will return as a permanent mission modifier within Gauntlet, appearing randomly across select combat areas and enabling gas masks as part of the tactical layer. While it is currently disabled during Nightfall to align with the mode’s theme, it will return with Hunter/ Prey. During Nightfall, we also released a Limited-Time Mode called Gauntlet: Nightfall. This mode features six teams of three fighting through three rounds - Vendetta, Contract, and Heist - set in a dark, NVG-enabled version of Hagental Base. This variant emphasizes visibility management, coordination, and controlled aggression in low-light combat. During Season 1, you’ve joined over 190 million Gauntlet matches. Along the way, you confirmed over 9.2 million Vendetta kills, detonated more than 13.8 million Wreckage bombs, completed over 23.3 million Decryption calibrations, and stole more than 2.25 million Heist cases. Whether you are dropping into Gauntlet for the first time or already know your way through its challenges, we cannot wait to see you keep pushing your skills even further. Battle Royale Solos Testing Over the weekend of March 6th through 9th, we ran a limited-time Battle Royale Solos test within Battlefield Labs in the live game. Our goal was simple: get Solos into players’ hands, observe how matches play at scale, and gather real feedback on pacing, class dynamics, vehicles, and overall match feel. Solos has been one of the most requested ways to play Battle Royale, and this test made it clear that many of you still see it as your preferred way to jump into a match, especially when friends are not online. We also saw strong feedback that this mode helped players learn at their own pace without the ups and downs of being teamed up with randoms. During the test, we were able to collect valuable and specific feedback across several areas. The most commonly discussed points raised by our players were Recon pressure, vehicle impact, and pacing. Recon tools, particularly drones, were frequently mentioned as being highly valuable due to their strong situational awareness. We observed a large number of players choosing the Recon class during the test, making it a clear meta choice. We will be reviewing how class balance and gadget behavior affect solo play specifically. Vehicles also generated mixed feedback from the weekend, especially combat vehicles. Some players enjoyed the added chaos they introduced, while others felt they could swing fights too heavily when there isn’t a squad available to coordinate counters. We’re continuing to evaluate the role of combat vehicles in Solos specifically, including how they influence fairness, counterplay, and overall match flow. We will share information as that work continues. We also saw how Solos naturally changed how players approach engagements and movement throughout a match. Without the additional support from squadmates, decision-making became more independent, and pacing evolved differently across each phase of the game. We’re reviewing how systems such as player count, early match flow, and circle behavior shape that experience, and how we can best support a variety of playstyles. Beyond those topics, we’re also exploring how broader systems interact in Solos mode. This includes reviewing how mission rewards and progression incentives influence player behavior and how resource availability impacts decision-making throughout different phases of the game. Battlefield Labs continues to be an important tool for us to experiment with ideas like these and gather feedback before making larger changes. We’re continuing to evaluate the areas highlighted during this test, make adjustments where needed, and use those learnings to help determine when Battle Royale Solos returns. Portal Today, we’re excited to share a brand-new update to Portal, available on April 14th with the Hunter/ Prey update. Introducing Portal Gadget for Battlefield 6 and REDSEC custom experiences. Portal Gadget is a versatile, equippable tool built for creators designing custom Portal experiences. It gives you the power to trigger tailored gameplay logic at precise moments and locations, putting far more control in your hands and transforming how players interact with your world. Until now, there hasn’t been an intuitive way for players to activate custom logic whenever they choose. There’s no true “Portal button,” and most inputs are already tied to core gameplay or limited to specific contexts. This has led creators to rely on fixed Interact Points, force players into specific locations, or use clunky workarounds like “crouch to confirm,” a solution that’s been all too common in 2042. Portal Gadget changes that. Designed specifically for Portal, the gadget can be added to a player’s inventory via script, giving creators full control over when and how it’s introduced. Players equip it just like any standard gadget, but instead of performing a traditional in-game action, it becomes a powerful trigger for custom events. With TypeScript, creators can spawn or equip the gadget, bind custom gameplay scripts to its inputs and events, and activate those behaviors seamlessly during gameplay. Behind the scenes, it connects directly to your Portal Experience Logic Script, allowing you to define exactly what happens when and where it’s used. No more workarounds. No more compromises. Portal Gadget unlocks more intentional, responsive interactions, making it easier than ever to build dynamic, immersive experiences that behave exactly how you want them to. As a quick reminder, be sure to check out the attached README and PortalGadgetExample in the SDK when the Portal Gadget is released. It covers everything you need to get started, including available events, how to grant the gadget, and other technical details. Community Highlights Battlefield Portal continues to be one of the most active spaces for new experiences across Battlefield 6, with a growing mix of community-made creations and featured events. There are more ways to jump in and play than ever before, and we wanted to highlight a few of the experiences available now. Jungle Breach Breakthrough Created by: mfnboomstick Experience Code: ZP54S Battle through a dense jungle canyon near an outdated section of the U.S. border wall, where tight lanes, layered cover, and constant close-quarters pressure turn every push into a hard-fought advance. Jungle Breach Conquest Created by: mfnboomstick Experience Code: ZKVRR Fight for control of key objectives near an overgrown and under-patrolled section of border wall, where the U.S. military and Pax Armata clash across a battlefield that mixes dense terrain with exposed contested ground. Winter Offensive - Conquest Created by: andy6170 Experience Code: ZSEKG Step into a snow-covered version of Conquest with Winter Offensive, a custom experience that brings frosted battlefields, colder conditions, and a different visual atmosphere to large-scale warfare. Fort Lyndon Conquest Created by: kurtinthegrind, andy6170, and Byarlant Experience Code: ZD7HY Take on a large-scale Conquest battle across Fort Lyndon, featuring vehicles, urban fighting, air combat, and naval engagements spread across multiple parts of the map. This experience is available to all players, including those who only have Battlefield REDSEC. BattleGolf Created by: Nodone_00 Experience Code: ZT9HB Trade the battlefield for the fairway in BattleGolf, a playful Portal experience where up to four players can grab their clubs, line up their shots, and take on the course in a completely different kind of competition. Keep the Feedback Coming Thank you for continuing to share your feedback, clips, reports and discussions with us. Whether you’ve been jumping into Nightfall, taking part in Battlefield Labs, or diving into REDSEC, your input continues to help shape how we move forward. We’re continuing to look ahead at what’s next beyond this season, including the arrival of Golmud Railway. We’ve also been testing vehicle control updates and broader vehicle improvements in Battlefield Labs, and early signs suggest they’re steering in the right direction. We’re looking forward to sharing more on both in a future update. If you have any bugs to report, please share them on our EA forums. You can also join the conversation and connect with us on the Battlefield Discord, and find additional information, guides, and seasonal stat reports on our website. 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.

Battlefield 6 Season 2: Nightfall launches alongside Game Update 1.2.2.0, introducing new content across Battlefield 6 and REDSEC. On March 17, at 09:00 UTC, players will be able to download the update, with Season 2: Nightfall updates and challenges becoming available. At 12:00 UTC, all Battlefield 6 Season 2: Nightfall content goes live, including new map content, limited-time modes, weapons, vehicles, REDSEC expansion updates, and seasonal events. Nightfall brings darkness mechanics into multiplayer and REDSEC, expanding underground combat spaces and introducing new traversal and visibility gameplay features. New Map: Hagental Base Plunge beneath the surface and prepare for gripping underground close-quarters combat. Blast through walls or cave in ceilings to flank and ambush enemies lurking in the tunnels. Hagental Base leans heavily on infantry-based squad tactics. Think about ambushes in the corridors and playing to each Class’s strengths as you take control of this newly discovered base. New Limited-Time Modes Nightfall brings in a new playlist where squads can compete in a mix of Team Deathmatch, Squad Deathmatch, and Domination matches on Hagental Base. All matches will take place with Nightfall’s Darkness modifier active where it cuts most of the Hagental Base’s lights out; your survival during Nightfall depends on your ability to see through the dark, through Night Vision Goggles and using the environment to your benefit. Gauntlet: Nightfall: Set within Hagental Base, this version of Gauntlet emphasises darkness mechanics and elimination-style progression. Squads compete across intense underground rounds where flashlights and Night Vision Goggles are essential to maintaining control and advancing through the ranks. Red Bull Supermoto (REDSEC Limited-Time Event): Arriving later in Season 2, this high-speed Gauntlet-style experience focuses on dirt bike racing. Eight players enter, competing across three knockout rounds. By the final stage, only four remain to battle for Red Bull in-game rewards in a fast-paced elimination showdown. Secret Complex Unearthed at Fort Lyndon Fort Lyndon expands with the addition of Defense Testing Complex 3, a newly accessible underground sector beneath the main battleground. This secret chemical testing facility introduces a network of tunnels that serve both as traversal routes and high-stakes close-quarters combat zones. The new sector features higher rarity loot opportunities, encouraging squads to push deeper underground and leverage improved equipment to dominate the darkness. New Vehicles M1030-M1 and TM/O 450 Dirt Bikes: Two-seat light transport vehicles built for speed and manoeuvrability. Available in faction-specific variants for NATO and Pax forces, these bikes enable rapid repositioning, flanking manoeuvres, and swift escapes across both Battlefield 6 and REDSEC environments. New Weapons CZ3A1: A high rate-of-fire SMG designed for aggressive close-quarters engagements. Ideal for fast pushes and confined firefights. vz. 61: A fully automatic sidearm with a rapid fire rate, best suited for extremely short-range combat scenarios where quick reaction speed is critical. Battlefield 6 Free Trial From March 17-24, Battlefield 6 will be free* for all players. Wage war across the rocky terrain of Contaminated or descend into the underground corridors of Hagental Base. Choose from four maps and six available modes, including large-scale Conquest battles and Nightfall-enabled experiences in Domination and Team Deathmatch.

Audio, Visual and Stability Improvements: Improved audio reliability, visual consistency, cosmetic presentation, and overall game stability across platforms. AREAS OF IMPROVEMENT As part of Update 1.2.1.0, we've made improvements to both how recoil behaves at a system level and how recoil is used to balance automatic weapons. Since launch, recoil compensation could feel inconsistent in certain situations. In some cases, the amount of aim input required to counter recoil did not reliably match the recoil being applied, which could make weapons feel harder to control than expected. While improvements were made during Season 1 to reduce the most extreme cases, some inconsistency could still be noticeable during regular gameplay. With this update, recoil compensation has been made fully consistent, ensuring that the aim input required to counter recoil now correctly matches the recoil applied. This results in more predictable and reliable weapon handling. Separately from this systemic fix, we've also made a broad recoil tuning pass across automatic weapons. Recoil is one of the main ways we balance weapons across different engagement distances: higher-damage weapons are intentionally harder to control, while lighter weapons trade raw power for ease of use and consistency. Over time, we saw this balance starting to drift once we looked at how these weapons were actually being used in live matches across common combat ranges. This tuning pass brings recoil behaviour back in line with each weapon's intended role. You should expect automatic weapons to feel more consistent and better differentiated across ranges, with higher-impact weapons demanding more control and positioning, while others remain reliable and forgiving in closer engagements. CHANGELOG PLAYER: Adjusted the acceleration curve of slide and jumps to better account for the player's speed when entering a slide or a jump. All squad members now display animated health icons when downed, clearly indicating who is able to revive you.
