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.

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.

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. Reduced abrupt force changes when coming out of ignition and shortened ignition time. Updated the RHIB’s speed and RPM gauges so they now function correctly.

Protective Mask Added a low battery warning visual to better indicate battery shortage. Corrected an issue where the mask could fade off the player’s face instead of playing its take-off animation when durability ran out while holding a melee weapon. 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.

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 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.

Battlefield 6 - Community Update - Nightfall Debrief and What’s Next
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.

Game Update 1.2.1.0 delivers over 240 gameplay improvements and quality-of-life fixes across nearly every part of Battlefield 6. These changes are shaped by community feedback and real match data, with a focus on improving weapon handling, movement, vehicles, gadgets, UI, audio, and overall gameplay reliability. This update continues our ongoing commitment to improve consistency and reliability across the core Battlefield experience. Major Updates for 1.2.1.0 Weapon Balance and Recoil Improvements: Delivered a broad recoil tuning pass across automatic weapons, alongside targeted balance fixes to improve consistency, role clarity, and long-term weapon handling. Movement and Traversal Fixes: Improved soldier movement predictability with refined acceleration, slide and jump behaviour, smoother vaulting logic, and improved ladder animations in both first- and third-person. Vehicle and Gadget Reliability: Resolved multiple issues affecting vehicles and gadgets, including anti-vehicle interactions, drone behaviour, deployables, and vehicle damage feedback. Maps and Mode Fixes: Addressed numerous map exploits, traversal issues, capture logic problems, and world reset bugs across Conquest, Breakthrough, Strikepoint, Gauntlet, and other modes. UI, HUD and Progression Polish: Introducing a new stat screen in the Player Profile, as well as Improved clarity and reliability across the HUD, Battle Pass, challenges, End of Round flow, matchmaking, and party systems. Portal Stability and Tooling Updates: Fixed a wide range of issues affecting Portal creation tools, scripting, mutators, assets, exploits, and server stability. 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.
