Hey everyone,

This weekend, we’re putting Battle Royale to the test.

From March 6 at 12:00 UTC (7:00 AM EST / 4:00 AM PST) through March 9, Battle Royale Solos is available through a new Battlefield Labs section directly in the live game. There is no separate client or additional download required. Just launch Battlefield 6, head to the Battlefield Labs section, and deploy onto the battlefield.


Battlefield Labs

Battlefield Labs has always been our space for experimentation. With Battle Royale Solos, the dynamics of coordination and pacing shift completely. Every engagement is personal. Every rotation matters. Every vehicle encounter carries a different weight.

By bringing this test into the live environment, we’re able to evaluate the experience at scale and understand how Battle Royale holds up when there are no teammates to rely on.

Our focus during this test includes:

• 
  How does the pacing feel in a true one versus everyone format?
  
  
• 
  How do vehicles influence the flow and overall balance?
  
  
• 
  Are missions and progression appropriately tuned for solo play?
  
  
• 
  Do class roles retain clear identity and value without squad support?
  

As with all Battlefield Labs experiences, this mode is experimental and subject to change based on what we observe and learn.

Because this specific test is running inside the live game, there is no NDA for this test window. You are free to stream, post clips, and share feedback on your experience throughout the weekend.

Please note that all other Battlefield Labs playtests and discussions remain under NDA unless otherwise stated.


How Battle Royale Solos Differs

Battle Royale Solos removes the safety net that squads provide. Compared to Duos and Quads:

• 
  There are no squad revives.
  
  
• 
  Redeploy towers are disabled.
  
  
• 
  Class Training Path XP requirements scale for solo pacing.
  
  
• 
  Missions are tuned for single-player completion, with reduced objective requirements, faster completion times, and adjusted rewards.
  
  
• 
  Squad-oriented loot such as Mobile Respawns and Defibrillators have been removed from the loot pool.
  

Vehicles, including tanks, remain enabled for this test. Part of our goal is to understand how combat vehicles impact pacing, survivability, and endgame dynamics when every player is operating alone. We’ll be closely reviewing feedback around vehicle balance, mission flow, perk impact, and overall feel.


Because this is a test build, you may notice that some UI elements and voice-over lines still reference squad-based language. Due to recording and localization timelines, not all VO has been adapted for solo play in this build.


Your Feedback Matters

After playing, you’ll find a survey in the main menu next to the Battle Royale Solos test tile. That feedback goes directly to the team, so we strongly encourage you to share your thoughts there. You can also join the conversation in our official Battlefield Discord, where we will be reviewing your discussions throughout the weekend.

This is Battlefield Labs at work, putting new ideas into your hands, learning from your experiences, and building the future of Battlefield together.

Jump into testing now. See you on the Battlefield.

Hey everyone,

I’m Florian Le Bihan, Principal Game Designer on Battlefield 6. I’ve been working closely with our gameplay, networking, animation, and audio teams to improve the core combat experience. My focus has been on connecting these systems to deliver encounters that feel consistent, responsive, and exciting every time you step onto the battlefield.

With Season 2 underway, I want to take a deeper look at several foundational systems that directly impact the feel of the game. Hit registration, Netcode, Time to Kill, soldier visibility, and audio clarity are tightly connected systems. While we’ve delivered numerous improvements since launch, our work is ongoing. We will continue to analyze, evolve, and enhance the experience based on feedback because the connection between the game and the player sits at the heart of Battlefield.

Combat reliability is not driven by a single system, but by how these layers interact with one another. Improving this experience requires careful sequencing. In many cases, stabilizing one system is necessary before adjusting another. Networking behavior affects how Time to Death is perceived. Visibility influences pacing and damage clarity. Animation alignment impacts “shot behind cover” scenarios.

Because these systems overlap, changes must be validated carefully to ensure they improve consistency without introducing new issues. This process takes iteration and large-scale testing, which is why Battlefield Labs plays such an important role in our approach.

Today, I want to walk you through where we are, what we’ve already improved, and what we’re continuing to refine based on your feedback. In parallel, our broader efforts continue across performance, stability, UI clarity, progression, and other player experience improvements.


Hit Registration / Netcode

Extreme Measures (Season 2 Phase 1) introduced the first round of networking changes aimed at improving combat reliability. Bullet data is now handled more efficiently, and additional stability updates are planned for our next major update. These refinements continue to be validated through Battlefield Labs to ensure improvements hold up under full live service conditions.

Since launch, this topic has been one of the most discussed aspects of Battlefield 6. We’ve seen examples of shots appearing to land but not registering, and situations where players felt they were eliminated after reaching cover. Some of these experiences are influenced by perception - especially when some of our weapons have a particularly fast Time to Kill combined with limited visibility - but technical issues have also contributed. We’ve addressed several of these issues already, and we are continuing to work to stabilize and refine others.

With our recent update, we optimized how bullet-related data is being transmitted between client and server. In rare cases, too much information exchanged within a single update could delay damage feedback for either the shooter or the player taking damage. These changes prioritize critical interactions, such as shots landing or damage being applied, so they are processed more reliably and in a more timely manner.

Another key area involves how clients remain synchronized with the server, often referred to as Time Nudge. In online shooters, the game client cannot display events at the exact same moment the server processes them due to network latency - information is never transmitted instantaneously between client and server. Instead, it buffers a small amount of incoming data to smooth out network or performance fluctuations. When functioning correctly, this results in fluid movement and stable hit registration.

At launch, this system could drift outside safe bounds under unstable network conditions or heavy system load, contributing to desynchronization. We are targeting configuration adjustments to better constrain and stabilize this behavior in the next major update. The goal is to ensure that what you see on screen more closely matches what the server sees, even when performance fluctuates. Internal and Labs testing shows improved alignment, but more player impressions are needed before we consider this resolved.

In addition to this, we will look into refining the responsiveness and clarity of both incoming and outgoing damage indicators. When you take damage or land shots, feedback should be immediate and readable across UI, audio, and visual effects. Improvements in this area will continue alongside our networking efforts. We’ve also corrected cases where the soldier health bar updated a few frames after the actual damage occurred and where incoming damage animations lacked clarity, which could have compressed multiple hits into what looked like a single hit.

We are also examining how the server validates damage during close encounters. In multiplayer shooters, the server decides whether damage should count, since players are never experiencing the exact same timeline due to latency. In some cases, if the server determines that a player was already eliminated, it may invalidate incoming damage to prevent unintended trade eliminations. This behavior exists to preserve fairness, but it comes with some trade-offs, particularly in fast close-quarters fights where a shot may feel like it should have landed. We are reviewing how these server-side damage rejections behave to ensure the balance between fairness and responsiveness.

Lastly, we identified cases where third-person character visuals do not always accurately reflect what is happening in combat. One example involves enemy facing direction, where a character model may appear to be oriented away from you while they are in fact aiming and firing in your direction. We have a fix scheduled for the next update. Separately, we have also observed inconsistencies when transitioning from standing to prone, where a player’s first-person view may suggest safety while their third-person character model remains partially exposed to others. The fix for this behavior is planned for later in the season to better align visual representation with actual gameplay.


Time To Kill (TTK) / Gunplay

The first phase of Season 2 delivered improvements to recoil consistency and a weapon balance pass to ensure weapon handling feels more predictable and responsive. We’ve heard concerns that Time To Death (TTD) can feel too fast, and it remains an active topic of discussion within the team. Before we make broad changes, we’re concentrating on strengthening combat clarity, including responsive audio-visual damage feedback, improved enemy readability, continued Netcode refinements, and more.

TTD is heavily influenced by how clearly combat events are communicated. When multiple bullets land in rapid succession and feedback is unclear, even a four-shot kill can feel instantaneous. At the same time, many players report that TTK from the shooter’s perspective feels satisfying and responsive. Introducing broad changes before stabilizing the underlying systems risks creating a “bullet sponge” experience, elongating TTK, weakening weapon satisfaction and unintentionally shifting pacing. Our priority is to strengthen systems that support gunplay, especially those that affect TTK.

One approach currently being validated in Battlefield Labs involves reducing damage dealt to limbs across several weapon archetypes. Shots landing on arms or legs may require an additional bullet to secure a kill, while headshots remain unaffected. If a bullet passes through an arm and strikes the head, it will correctly register as head damage. This approach rewards accuracy without fundamentally changing the feel of gunplay.


In addition, we are validating adjustments to the economy of the Hollow Point and Synthetic Tip ammunition attachments through Battlefield Labs as well. Our aim is to make them more meaningful and competitive choices when customizing weapons, ensuring that attachment selection reflects intentional trade-offs rather than default picks.

Weapon control has also been a central focus. Since launch, recoil compensation could behave unpredictably, sometimes requiring more input than expected to counter weapon kickback. This season introduced tighter alignment between recoil output and the aim input required to manage it, improving overall recoil stability. With that foundation in place, we will continue to evaluate recoil balance across weapon archetypes to determine whether additional tuning adjustments are needed. Ongoing refinements will continue through Battlefield Labs as we gather live in-game data across skill brackets and modes.

Our goal is to ensure that when you win or lose an engagement, it feels earned or fair.


Soldier Visibility

Soldier visibility continues to influence pacing and perceived fairness, especially in close-range and interior engagements. We are exploring improvements to lighting transitions and visibility systems without breaking immersion. This includes refining how characters read against dynamic environments and varied lighting conditions. Larger art-direction shifts are unlikely in the near term, but targeted changes and longer-term exploration remain active.

Visibility impacts more than spotting an enemy. It affects decision-making, reaction time, and how combat feels overall. When you cannot see who eliminated you, fast TTD feels even more abrupt.

One significant factor involves transitions between interior and exterior areas. Current exposure calculations consider first-person weapon and arm models, which can exaggerate lighting shifts. We are investigating adjustments that exclude these models from the calculations of the exposure in favor of world lighting, with the goal of reducing instances of blinding exteriors or overly dark interiors. While this will not eliminate every scenario, it should meaningfully improve how exposure and lighting transitions between exterior and interior environments behave during gameplay.

Battlefield environments are intentionally grounded and detailed. Debris, destruction, dust, and environmental effects all contribute to immersion but can also make soldiers blend into their surroundings. The game uses a visibility filter and a brightness boost that increases at range to help separate characters from the environment. We are targeting testing in Battlefield Labs once improvements are in place, focusing on improving close-quarter and long range clarity while ensuring characters do not appear out of place within the world.

Achieving the right balance between immersion and readability requires careful iteration. While large visual shifts are unlikely in the short term, we are continuing to make targeted adjustments and researching longer-term solutions for both live updates and future Battlefield experiences.


Audio

Audio clarity plays a critical role in combat awareness, especially when it comes to footsteps and vehicle positioning. Since launch, we’ve been working to address cases where footsteps were unclear, vehicles were difficult to track, or sounds would unintentionally drop out in intense moments. Extreme Measures introduced initial fixes to raise footstep clarity and rebalance audio priorities, with more comprehensive changes planned for our next major update.


Audio challenges in Battlefield are rarely caused by a single issue. Footstep clarity, vehicle audibility, and positional accuracy are influenced by memory limits, file size constraints, performance considerations, and how different sounds compete for priority in large-scale engagement. In scenarios like buildings collapsing while multiple players are firing, the system must decide which sounds take precedence. That prioritization is complex, especially at scale.

With this season, we addressed several of these constraints by reducing file sizes, optimizing performance, and adjusting audio priorities so that footsteps and key combat cues stand out more consistently. These changes were an important first step, but they do not fully solve every scenario players have reported.

In the next update, we are introducing more updates to how footsteps behave within the mix. Footsteps will interact more dynamically with surrounding sounds and feature improved built-in prioritization. Close enemies will be more audible without relying on heavy volume boosts, and distinctions between enemies, friendlies, and your own movement will be clearer. The reliability of obstruction will also be increased, ensuring that sound behaves more consistently when blocked by surfaces, and reduces cases where footstep assets fail to play due to performance constraints.

Vehicle audio is also receiving targeted adjustments. Multiple jets will contribute less to overall noise-floor buildup, and enemy ground vehicles will be prioritized more clearly in the mix, particularly in REDSEC. These changes are intended to improve spatial awareness without overwhelming other critical audio cues.

We’ve also made global mix adjustments to improve clarity and positioning accuracy overall, including updates to stereo and headphone mixes and new width settings in the audio menu that allow for further customization. Default settings are tuned for balanced comfort and positional accuracy, but players who prefer a narrower or wider soundstage will now have more control.

As with all improvements, audio clarity requires continued testing under live conditions. Feedback from the community has been essential in identifying edge cases we could not reproduce internally, including unintended vehicle silence. We will continue refining these systems and keep you updated as further adjustments are validated.


Thank You

Large-scale validation can only truly happen in a live environment, which makes your feedback and the data we gather from real matches incredibly valuable. If you encounter issues, enabling the Netgraph in the System settings and sharing clips that include it helps us investigate more effectively. We will continue to speak openly about Netcode and combat reliability, answer questions where we can, and keep you informed with a clear and direct approach as this work evolves.

Hey everyone,


Season 2 released recently, and it’s been great seeing so many of you jump into Contaminated and take to the skies with the Little Bird. We’ve been closely reading your feedback from the first days of the season and want to take a moment to acknowledge some of the initial reactions we’ve seen, while also looking ahead at what’s planned for the next phase of Season 2 and beyond.


Season 2 Initial Reactions

We’ve seen a lot of positive reactions to Contaminated. Many of you have called out the sandbox variety, flanking routes, and vehicle interplay as some of the best experiences you’ve had so far in Battlefield 6. The feedback is incredibly encouraging, and we can’t wait to deliver even more.


Combat flow is a crucial part of every BF6 map, and Contaminated is no exception. Based on feedback, we expanded the available airspace to give pilots more room to maneuver while keeping ground combat readable and balanced. So far, we are seeing great reactions to this adjustment, and we’ll continue to monitor how engagements evolve so we can apply those learnings to future maps.

Looking beyond, larger-scale experiences remain an important part of expanding Battlefield 6. We are continuing to test Golmud Railway in Battlefield Labs as one of our most ambitious large-scale maps for this game. Our focus is not just scale, but also ensuring it delivers strong vehicle depth and consistent pacing across the full playspace. BF Labs allows us to fine-tune these elements with players before bringing them into the live experience.

The time leading up to Season 2 allowed us to prioritize improvements to the quality of our updates, with additional effort focused on strengthening the overall experience. We are iterating our processes along with the game to deliver the best content possible as we move forward. When you log in on day one of a season, we want the experience to feel polished, cohesive, and respectful of how you choose to play — whether that’s a specific map, mode, or Portal experience.

Additional topics we’re monitoring:

• 
  Movement: Movement impacts every layer of gameplay, and updates here need to be deliberate and measured. With other gameplay systems evolving alongside it, we want to evaluate how the overall combat experience settles before making further changes.
  
  
  
• 
  Progression: Season 2 introduced improvements, but this topic remains an active and ongoing discussion internally. We’re closely tracking how the Season 2 changes are landing and gathering data on how players engage with different paths. Our goal is for the time you invest — regardless of mode or playstyle — to feel rewarding and fair. We share more details on additional progression changes later in this update.
  
  
  
• 
  Portal: Previously, we intentionally delayed adding new hardware to the SDK to allow additional time for stabilization and bug fixes. This included delaying the addition of the Little Bird (AH-6M), which will be added to the SDK in a future update. We’re currently reevaluating this approach for future seasons, so while this may not always be possible, our goal is to support new hardware in Portal as soon as it launches.
  
  
  
• 
  Portal: We’ve received reports of latency (rubber banding) in some player-made experiences. Our investigation shows that having more than 40 vehicles in an experience can cause unnecessary lag. This includes vehicles that are spawned but not actively in use. Another alteration we've seen that improves latency is having the player count lowered from 64. We are continuing to investigate long-term solutions while also working to improve overall performance.
  

We’ll also be sharing a dedicated blog soon that takes a deeper look at ongoing quality-of-life improvements, including hit registration, Netcode, time-to-kill tuning, soldier visibility, and audio updates.


New Ways to Experience Battlefield

Limited-Time Modes are one of the ways we keep Battlefield feeling fresh and full of new ways to play. They allow us to introduce new mechanics, environmental twists, and sandbox variations that expand how combat unfolds, whether that’s changing visibility, reshaping engagement ranges, or adding new tactical considerations.

With VL-7 Smoke, we introduced a new layer of battlefield control and area denial. As reactions could vary, we made sure players had the option to experience it in dedicated playlists or continue playing without it. Supporting different ways to play is important to us. Some of you leaned into the added chaos, while others preferred the classic experience, and we want Battlefield to provide room for both.


Not every LTM is meant to become permanent, but each one expands the toolbox. When an idea resonates strongly with the community, we have the flexibility to bring it back, iterate on it, evolve it, or integrate elements into the broader Battlefield experience. The Freeze mechanic introduced during Winter Offensive is one example. While the event itself was time-limited, the mechanic now lives on in Portal, allowing players to continue experimenting with it. This evolution is part of how we want to keep Battlefield 6 innovative and fun.

What’s Coming in Nightfall

Nightfall shifts the battlefield in a way that changes how you move, how you communicate, and how you read the battlefield. With darkness rolling in on a new map, sightlines shrink, audio becomes more important, and squad coordination matters more than ever. Night vision goggles, featured on our roadmap, introduce a new layer of tactical decision making. It creates a different kind of tension, one that feels tactical and immersive, and we’re excited to see how you step into the dark.

On top of that, there are a number of key improvements arriving alongside the Nightfall update.


Progression

Progression has been a consistent topic of discussion. We’ve continued monitoring data and reviewing your experiences, and it’s clear that certain parts of progression, particularly within Weapon Mastery, are taking too long to feel rewarding.

With the next phase of this season, we’re introducing targeted adjustments aimed at smoothing the overall progression pacing and reducing unnecessary grind.

Weapon Mastery progression will feel faster and more consistent. We’ve tuned the Mastery XP curve to smooth out attachment unlock pacing, increased the rate at which sidearms rank up so they align more closely with primary weapons, and moved camo unlocks earlier so cosmetic rewards arrive sooner in your progression journey.

These adjustments build on the progression updates introduced at the start of the season. We will continue to evaluate how these changes land across different modes and playstyles, with further refinements later in the season.


Ping System

We’ve heard your feedback that the current ping system can feel cluttered and hard to read in intense moments. Clear communication is critical in Battlefield, and we want pings to feel intuitive and reliable.

With our next update, we’re addressing an issue where enemies spotted using the Recon Drone would not consistently remain marked for squad members. In some cases, the spot would briefly appear and then disappear even when visibility was maintained. This fix ensures drone spotting behaves more reliably and remains visible when appropriate.

Later in the season, we’re planning broader refinements to the ping system focused on improving clarity, reducing visual noise, and strengthening squad readability. These updates are aimed at making communication faster and easier to interpret without changing the core feel of squad coordination. Looking further ahead, we’re continuing to evolve this system with improvements to how pings are prioritized, how responsive they feel, and how they are presented. We’ll share more details as those changes get closer to release.


REDSEC

Following Extreme Measures, we’ve continued reviewing sentiment around loot flow and late-game survivability in REDSEC. The next phase of updates includes targeted resource adjustments alongside an underground expansion to the map.

Fort Lyndon is expanding beneath the surface with a new underground point-of-interest, permanently introducing a new combat space. This area is expected to become a key hotspot and we’re looking forward to seeing how players adapt their tactics around it.

With our next update, this location will temporarily feature higher-tier loot to spotlight the new POI. Updated chest visuals and a new icon will help indicate rewards tiers. To access this area, look for green smoke marking the entrances. These visual indicators and enhanced loot are specific to this update and will evolve as the season progresses.

Also in the next update, Weapons Caches previously accessible only through Missions will become lootable containers once missions are disabled. These will offer stronger rewards, including four armor plates, to ensure more reliable access to resources as matches progress.

Air Strikes will also be rebalanced as part of this update. Most will be found in the new POI or earned as Mission Rewards, with significantly reduced availability in standard containers across the map.

We will also resolve an issue where anti-vehicle crates could spawn without loot inside.

Later in the season, we plan to introduce a new Armor Drop Strike Package to provide additional defensive options in late-game scenarios. We’re also enhancing the Ammo Drop by increasing its ammunition supply and adding armor plates. In addition, additional armor plates will replace grenades in MRAPVs and Safes to further improve armor availability.

These updates are intended to smooth late-game pacing and reduce situations where players feel under-equipped in final engagements. We will continue to make adjustments to REDSEC throughout this season and beyond as we evaluate how these changes impact overall match flow.


Battle Royale Solos Testing Coming To Latest Update

You’ve been asking for a way to drop into Battle Royale solo, no squadmates, no backup, just you. During the weekend of March 6-9, we’ll be introducing BR solos inside a new Battlefield Labs section within the live game, available to all players.

BF Labs can take different forms depending on what we’re testing. For BR solos, having a Battlefield Labs section in the live game allows us to evaluate the experience at scale with as many players as possible. Our goals are to gather feedback and assess how REDSEC’s pacing, balance, and tension hold up in a true one-versus-everyone format. This mode is experimental and subject to change.

After your matches, you’ll be able to share your thoughts through a survey that’s accessible from the main menu. You can also discuss the mode in our official Battlefield Discord, where you can connect with other players and share your thoughts.

Here’s how BR solos will differ from Quads and Duos:

• 
  No squad revives or redeploy towers. Second Chance remains enabled.
  
  
• 
  Missions are adjusted for single-player completion, with tuned rewards.
  
  
• 
  Class Training Path XP requirements have been adjusted to scale appropriately for a single-player experience.
  
  

Vehicles, including tanks, remain enabled for this test. Part of this is to understand how combat vehicles impact pacing and late-game balance in a solo environment. We’ll be closely reviewing feedback around missions, vehicle balance, class training perks, and overall feel.

Please note that some UI elements and voice-over lines will still reference squad-based language. Due to recording and localization timelines, not all VO has been adapted for Solo play in this test build.

As this part of Battlefield Labs is available in the live game, there is no NDA for this test. Players are free to stream, share clips, and discuss their experience throughout the test window.

Drop in solo, test your limits, and let us know how it feels. Your feedback will help shape what comes next. We can’t wait to see how you take on the challenge and we’re looking forward to hearing what you think when it goes live on March 6.

Hey Soldier,

We saw ongoing discussion on how match infection rate (MIR) could be effectively calculated when cheaters and cheat developers aim to avoid detection. While we can’t share every detail, we can explain the fundamentals of its design. MIR includes both confirmed cheaters – all of which are banned – and those we suspect based on the full set of detections and signals that are constantly growing and updating. These signals include ones we can’t use as conclusive evidence by themselves such as player reports, gameplay footage from social media, etc.

Every match that includes either a confirmed cheater or suspected cheater is marked as infected. We then calculate all the confirmed and suspected infections versus the total number of matches to determine the MIR. As Javelin and Battlefield engineers introduce new detection signals, and our game integrity analysts refine, add, update, or retire existing ones, MIR updates automatically to reflect those developments. This allows it to effectively shift alongside the evolving threat landscape and maintain an accurate view of the overall match health.

Because MIR was designed as a look-back metric to reflect these shifts and minimize rework, it needs time to mature and stabilize. This is why we are looking at the previous month in these updates. For example, after this additional month the overall MIR calculated for December 31st matured to 2.28% from its previous value of 3.09% as reported in our earlier December post.

Match Infection Rate: The percentage of matches across the title that were negatively impacted by at least one cheater. This includes all suspected cheaters, even those we might not have enough evidence to enforce against.


In January, MIR started at 2.38%. Over the course of the month, gradually increasing with only a few periods of decline. There were two significant reasons for this: one was a significant increase in our ability to detect and ban 6 additional “Stealth” cheats that purposefully avoid being high impact and therefore avoid player reports and obvious detection signals. The other was a new ban acceleration method tested on the 18th, and then initially deployed on 26th. January still saw that gradual increase end at 3.60% on the 31st as of this update.

Through January, EA Javelin Anti-Cheat prevented 384,918 attempts to cheat or tamper with the game before they could impact matches. We are still tracking 224 cheat-related programs, hardware solutions, vendors, resellers, and their associated communities. Of those, now 212 of them (94.64%) are reporting related feature failures, detection notices, downtime, or fully taking their cheats offline.

We’ll continue reviewing your questions and feedback and will be sharing February’s metrics in roughly another month’s time.


Keep it fair out there - see you on the Battlefield.

Hey everyone,

As we head into Season 2, we want to take a moment to talk about where REDSEC stands today and what’s coming. While our previous REDSEC blog focused on armor, we’ve since been closely following player discussion and match data across the board. Today’s update covers what we’ve learned and what changes are on the horizon.


Armor Feedback and Changes

One piece of feedback we’ve seen is that armor plates can feel too scarce, particularly as matches move into mid- and late-game phases. When armor becomes difficult to recover after engagements, it can stall momentum and make successful fights feel less rewarding.


To help address this, we made a change back in December so that players drop a minimum of two armor plates upon death. This helps squads recover after winning engagements and ensures that combat feeds back into the team’s available resources rather than leaving everyone searching for more plates.


We are also adding a chance for armor plates to spawn in Class Crates, increasing the overall availability of armor across the map, as Season 2 goes live. Combined with plate drops on death, our goal is to make armor feel more accessible and more predictable, rather than something you’re constantly struggling to find.


As with any balance changes, we’ll continue to monitor how these adjustments play out in live matches and pair that with your suggestions as we evaluate next steps.


What’s Coming in REDSEC Season 2

Season 2 REDSEC content will include Limited-Time Modes for both Battle Royale and Gauntlet. These modes will include new features to the game, creating new moments and gameplay experiences.


We’re also introducing the Mobile Redeploy Strike Package, which offers a new way for squads to get back into the fight, particularly in late-game scenarios where Redeploy Towers may be sparse or unavailable. It’s designed to give squads an opportunity to recover fallen squadmates and rejoin the action, in a similar way to using a Redeploy Tower.


The Mobile Redeploy must be placed outdoors with an unobstructed view from above, and while active, it emits a visible purple smoke, making its location readable to other players. After activating, there is a 45-second delay before squadmates can redeploy, giving nearby players an opportunity to destroy the Mobile Redeploy and prevent respawns.


Mobile Redeploys are most commonly found by looting Ambulances, with a small chance to appear in Tactical Armory Crates, Safes, and MRAPVs. They can also be earned through missions that advertise the new reward.


Alongside this, we’re also adjusting vehicle pacing by adding a cooldown on Vehicle Keycard rewards from missions, once one is successfully acquired. Tanks play a key role in making REDSEC unique, but this change makes immediate back-to-back access less common while still allowing teams to gain access to multiple tanks through other means.


We’re looking forward to seeing how these changes impact pacing, survivability, and counterplay once Season 2 is live.


Improvements Beyond Season 2 Launch

Beyond the launch of Season 2 content, we’re actively focusing on several areas that shape how looting, communication, survivability, and vehicles feel over the course of a Battle Royale match.


We’re addressing cases where ground loot fails to appear, or appears late, during the initial drop, so that landing feels more reliable and players can immediately engage in the match. We’re also fixing issues with air drop crates arriving late or missing intended items, ensuring that these high-value moments are consistently worth contesting.


We’re also improving core systems that affect how you read and react to combat:

• 
  Loot: We’re exploring additional ways to support loot availability during the mid- and late-game, helping maintain match flow as player counts decrease.
  
  
• 
  Ping System: Ping behavior is being tightened, including cases where pings don’t register or behave inconsistently at distances.
  
  
• 
  Audio: Vehicles and footstep audio is being refined to improve directional clarity and threat awareness.
  
  
• 
  Gadgets: We’re reviewing drones and strike packages based on feedback around how they influence the Battle Royale meta.
  

Not all of these changes will arrive at the same time, but these areas represent our current priorities, and work is actively underway.


How Looting is Designed in REDSEC

Hi everyone, I’m Melad Darbandi, a gameplay designer at Ripple Effect Studios, working on the looting experience within Battlefield: REDSEC. I want to share a bit more context around our approach to the looting systems in Battle Royale. With REDSEC, we set out to create a more grounded and contextual looting experience.

Here are some examples of how we make loot more grounded:

• 
  Loot is nested inside physical containers, rather than just scattered freely across the environment
  
  
• 
  Containers have weight and presence when interacted with
  
  
• 
  Loot reacts to the sandbox, responding dynamically to what’s happening around you
  

We’ve also designed certain loot containers to have clear and thematic roles based on where you find them.

• 
  Looking to breach and clear an area?
  
  Police Vans focus on close-quarters combat, including shotguns, a high chance at a shotgun kit, flashbangs, and potential smokescreens to help control tight engagements.
  
  
• 
  Need to support your squad?
  
  Ambulances guarantee a Defibrillator and also have a strong chance to contain a Mobile Redeploy Strike Package, arriving in Season 2.
  
  
• 
  Dealing with vehicles?
  
  Box Trucks and Anti-Vehicle Drops are your primary sources for anti-vehicle gear. If a tank is detected nearby, the contents in an unopened Box Truck can dynamically shift, or anti-vehicle crates can be deployed in the area.
  

These systems represent the type of behavior you can expect from loot in REDSEC today and moving forward. As we introduce new seasons and events, we also plan to refresh loot pools in deliberate ways. That may include surfacing underused weapon archetypes in specific contexts, while being more intentional about how and when those changes occur, based on what we’ve learned during the California Resistance Event.

P.S. Have people found all the hidden Superior weapons on Fort Lyndon yet? They’re a homage to certain characters in the Battlefield universe you may be familiar with. Happy looting!


More to Come

Across all of this work, our focus remains on making REDSEC feel consistent, fun, and rewarding from your first drop to the final circle. Going forward, you can expect more communication like this along with regular balance passes as new content, improvements, and events are introduced.

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.

Hey everyone,


Season 2 is almost here. Before it goes live, we wanted to share an update on what’s coming this season, along with what we’re already working on beyond its launch, based on what you’ve been discussing across the Battlefield community.


Significant Updates Coming in Season 2

The first content update of Season 2 introduces Contaminated, a new map designed to deliver focused combat with multiple pathways and flanking opportunities. Arriving with it is a Limited-Time Mode that, as seen in our recent story trailer, expands Battlefield 6’s narrative and introduces a new element of tactics in the fight against Pax Armata. There’s more variety coming later in the season with a new high-intensity map and a Limited-Time Mode that will require players to battle through an underground base covered in darkness.


In addition to new content, Season 2 brings a wide variety of updates and fixes. Some of the key areas of improvement include:

• 
  Progression Improvements:
  
  • 
    Broader Challenge Parameters: Challenges have been streamlined by reducing the emphasis on highly mode-specific challenges, removing the daily sidearm challenge from regular rotation, and expanding criteria like allowing assists to count toward Daily Challenges. We’ll continue to closely monitor completion rates and adjust challenge criteria where they feel too restrictive.
    
    
  • 
    Faster Battle Pass: Battle Pass progression has been adjusted to be more rewarding this season. This includes recalculating how Battle Pass Tokens are earned from Career XP, allowing you to earn progress more quickly through regular gameplay and Weekly Challenges.
    
    
  • 
    More Rewarding Progression in REDSEC: Career XP and Weapon XP earn rates have been increased in Battle Royale and Gauntlet, helping progression feel more balanced between REDSEC and Battlefield 6 experiences.
    
    
  • 
    Career Reward Rebalance: Career and Battle Pass Boosters were added to some earlier Career ranks, particularly to better support players who focus on REDSEC. This change helps progression feel meaningful even when standard Career unlocks, such as gadgets, throwables, and loadout slots, don’t provide direct benefits in Battle Royale or Gauntlet.
    
  
  
  
• 
  Weapon Balance and Recoil Improvements: Recoil compensation has been made fully consistent, resulting in more predictable and reliable weapon handling. Building on this, automatic weapons have received a broad tuning pass to reinforce role clarity and ensure weapons feel appropriately distinct across different combat distances.
  
  
  
• 
  Player Movement: Soldier movement has been improved to feel more predictable and readable in fast-paced combat. This includes updated acceleration curves, smoother vaulting and ladder transitions, and fixes that reduce visual inconsistencies or unexpected behavior during traversal and close-quarters interactions.
  
  
  
• 
  Audio Improvements: Audio has been polished to improve clarity and reliability during matches. This includes clearer cues for movement and interactions to help with positioning, better handling of overlapping sounds, and more dependable playback of critical audio in busy combat scenarios. Continued refinements and improvements are already in the works for later in the season as well.
  

We’ll be sharing more details on the season’s content with a full Season Roadmap at the end of the week, followed by complete Update Notes covering all changes. We’re excited for you to jump in and start playing as soon as Season 2 goes live.


Ongoing Development Focus

At the same time, we’re working on a clear set of gameplay improvements that will continue rolling out over the course of the season and beyond.

Current areas for improvement that are in active development include hit registration and netcode, ongoing recoil review, visibility, the ping system for map locations, and additional audio improvements (i.e. footsteps). We are targeting some of these improvements to be tested in Battlefield Labs for player-driven iteration, and will be included throughout upcoming game updates once they are validated. There are additional areas under review that we’ll provide more details on as decisions are finalized.


Battlefield Labs

Battlefield Labs continues to be a critical part of how we test, iterate, and validate gameplay changes alongside the community. As we move into Season 2, Labs will remain focused on combat feel, consistency, and balance.

We recently tested the new Contaminated map together with a new gameplay feature with players in Battlefield Labs. These playtests helped us better understand how the feature impacted moment-to-moment decision-making and player comfort during combat, and based on player reactions we made a series of adjustments to ensure it's better prepared for the launch of Season 2.

We are also planning to test our Time-to-Kill (TTK) tuning, with a focus on improving combat readability and consistency. The goal of this work is to require stronger aim accuracy and firing discipline in order to achieve the fastest TTK. As part of this work, we’re looking at elements such as limb multipliers, headshot damage, and the cost of ammunition types that enhance headshot effectiveness.


Golmud Railway Testing

We recently started some initial, focused Battlefield Labs play sessions on the Golmud Railway map, which will arrive in Battlefield 6 in an upcoming Season. As we mentioned in our previous blog, this version of the map is not a one-to-one copy but instead being reworked and adjusted to best fit the experience of Battlefield 6, and early impressions show that players are already picking up on the differences in this new interpretation.


Initial reactions have been positive, particularly around the overall scale and flow of the playspace. Players noted that the map feels familiar while still offering something new, including improvements to the northern town area and added cover that better supports infantry movement and engagements.


As with all Battlefield Labs content, Golmud Railway is still in active development. Some elements, such as the train that runs through the map, were not fully functional during the first session, but work is already underway to bring these features back for future sessions. We’ll continue testing Golmud Railway with our BF Labs participants and aim to provide updates in the future as the map continues to evolve.


REDSEC Updates

We recently introduced a change that ensures players drop a minimum of two armor plates upon death. Building on that, we’re planning to increase overall armor availability in Season 2 by adding a chance for additional armor plates to spawn in Class Crates. This is intended to improve pacing and survivability across matches, particularly in situations where armor plates can feel scarce as a match progresses.

We’re also making additional changes to the availability of Vehicle Keycard rewards. Tanks are a core part of what makes REDSEC unique, and we want players to have meaningful access to them. At the same time, having multiple tanks active for a single team should be rare and earned. To support this, we’re introducing a cooldown on Vehicle Keycards as a mission reward after one is successfully acquired, making it significantly harder to chain tank access back-to-back.


As these changes go live, we’ll monitor how they perform and will share more details on additional REDSEC improvements in a separate update.


Community Highlights

Alongside of featuring community-made Portal experiences in-game, here are a few additional experiences from the community that we have been thoroughly enjoying, and think you should check out:


BF Craft
Created by: Yujei

Experience Code: Z1AHQ

It’s TDM with base building! Switch to a weapon to select a fortification, then interact to place it.

Battleburg ATV Obstacle Course
Created by: royzagaming

Experience Code: YK8TD

The first extreme ATV course featuring rock gardens, jumps, and its very own labyrinth. We highly recommend using the Engineer class, as you will need it.


Hot Potato

Created by: Choanie
Experience Code: ZEQ3W

Run for your life in this deadly game of hot potato! One player has a blowtorch and must tag someone before they explode. Everyone else is defenseless. Timer starts at 60s, decreasing each round. The last survivor wins.


Recently, we featured BellumI988’s Portal remake of Operation Metro (experience code ZYDGB). We had a blast jumping into the meat grinder with players. If you haven’t checked it out yet, we recommend getting your squad together to play!


Portal Protip: If you notice longer load times on your experience, and don’t have bots active, we recommend disabling “Support AI Navigation” on the web builder. This will support faster load times, especially if the combat area is large.


Closing

Thank you for continuing to share your experiences with us, and we look forward to sharing more details with you nearer to Season 2 and beyond. If you have any bugs to report, share them on our EA forums, and join our community and connect with us on our Battlefield Discord.

Thank you for playing, and we will see you on the Battlefield.

Hey Soldier,

Since our Season 1 Update back in November, the teams have been closely watching and reading discussions around cheating in Battlefield 6. A lot of the conversation lacks reliable information, and sharing one large update every season isn’t enough to properly inform players. To address that, we’re going to be regularly updating you with a breakdown of recent anti-cheat metrics and what they mean.

With that in mind, it’s important to understand that cheater-related metrics naturally ebb and flow for a variety of reasons. Metrics can improve when we update reporting flows, release new detections, add telemetry, or gain a deeper understanding of how specific cheats work. On the other hand, they can deteriorate when cheat developers identify gaps in detection, leverage new or reintroduced bugs or exploits in our systems, or develop new methods of cheating. These fluctuations are expected and help guide where we focus our efforts.

December: Results & Impact

Match Infection Rate: The percentage of matches across the title that were negatively impacted by at least one cheater. This includes all suspected cheaters, even those we might not have enough evidence to enforce against.


In December, the MIR started at 2.532%. Over the course of the month, that number declined to 2.025%, before rising to 3.090% toward the end of the holiday period. For comparison, during the October - November timeframe covered in our previous update, MIR peaked at 2.580% on November 28th.

Throughout December, EA Javelin Anti-Cheat prevented 580,389 attempts to cheat or tamper with the game before they could impact matches. We also tracked 224 cheat-related programs, hardware solutions, vendors, resellers, and their associated communities. Of those, 206 of them (91.2%) publicly reported feature failures, detection notices, downtime, or fully took their cheats offline.

We’re now moving into the new year with continued focus on detection, prevention, and enforcement. You can expect our next update covering January’s metrics in roughly a month’s time, with more detail to help keep you informed.


Keep it fair out there - see you on the Battlefield.

Hey everyone,

We hope you had a wonderful holiday season and are ready to jump back into the action as Battlefield Labs kicks off the new year.

As we mentioned in our January Update blog, we’re using Labs to further polish and refine Season 2 content, validating changes and making final tuning adjustments ahead of launch while continuing to apply what we learn as we evolve the experience.

In this next session, we’ll be testing content on one of Season 2’s new maps: Contaminated.

We’ll be evaluating how vehicle gameplay and aerial presence interact with infantry combat, alongside cover and asset placement, and objective boundaries. We’ll also be testing how the map’s unique gameplay mechanics function in live matches, as well as the tools available to players to interact with them.

While we’re saving full details on the new map for a later time, we can share that in terms of size, Contaminated falls between Eastwood and Mirak Valley, and is comparable to classic Battlefield maps such as St. Quentin Scar (Battlefield 1) or Arras (Battlefield V).

Alongside our Season 2 map testing, upcoming Battlefield Labs sessions will also include a handful of additional gameplay-focused tests. This includes early testing of the AH-6 Little Bird ahead of its planned arrival in Season 2, allowing us to evaluate how it fits within the broader vehicle ecosystem and how it performs across different combat scenarios.


On the Horizon

Looking further ahead, we’ll be running more exploratory tests across aircraft and vehicle combat systems. This includes initial testing of Aircraft Radar, an important part of the aircraft gameplay experience and a system we’re actively evaluating as part of future air combat improvements.

In parallel, we’ll be exploring a tuning package focused on rocket and vehicle interactions, including early adjustments to weapons such as RPGs and TOW launchers, as well as vehicle handling considerations when countering rockets.

Future testing will also validate improvements we’re making to hit registration and overall combat consistency, as it is one of the more complex areas of development. We spoke with Lead Producer David Sirland, who emphasized that “these issues are rarely tied to a single change, but instead require careful iteration across multiple systems, extensive testing, and time to validate results at scale.”

This work includes a number of changes currently in development, with some improvements planned to arrive earlier in Season 2 and additional, more impactful updates in the coming months. Battlefield Labs will help us test, iterate, and validate these improvements as they progress, including scenarios where players may be eliminated after reaching cover, often referred to as “death behind cover” or desync-related behavior.

We also have plans to bring a fan-favorite map from Battlefield 4 into Battlefield Labs, prior to it going live in a future season: Golmud Railway.

Golmud Railway is being rebuilt for today’s Battlefield, not simply ported forward. Our goal is to preserve what made the map so memorable in Battlefield 4, particularly its combined arms gameplay, while improving how it plays and supports Battlefield 6 systems. Golmud is planned to be the largest Battlefield 6 map to date, giving us the opportunity to expand gameplay on a larger scale.

We’re bringing Golmud into Battlefield Labs early as this will be a multi-session project. Through Labs, we want to test changes such as larger flight space, increased cover for aircraft, and other adjustments as the map evolves over time.

We’ll share more details on timing and how to take part in upcoming play sessions at a later date.


Battle Royale Solos Testing

We’re also continuing internal and exploratory testing around Battle Royale Solo play, as we evaluate how different player configurations impact pacing, balance, and the overall Battle Royale experience.

This work is focused on understanding where Solo play can best fit within the broader Battle Royale roster, including how it affects match flow, survivability, and long-term engagement when featured alongside other Battle Royale experiences. These tests are part of our ongoing effort to make informed decisions about how Battle Royale is structured and presented over time, rather than committing to a single permanent configuration.

Any future player-facing testing would be approached with the goal of learning and validation, and we’ll share more details ahead of time if and when those tests are planned. As always, when testing does take place, clear guidance on participation and feedback will be provided so we can evaluate how the experience performs in real matches.


Get Involved

We’re looking forward to getting back into Battlefield Labs and continuing to build the future of Battlefield alongside you. Battlefield Labs play sessions are an important part of how we test, iterate, and refine new ideas, and your participation helps guide where we go next.

If you’re interested in taking part, you can learn more about Battlefield Labs and sign up for EA Playtesting on our website. To stay up to date on all things Battlefield, including Battlefield Labs updates, we also recommend joining the official Battlefield Discord.


We’ll see you in Labs!

With Update 1.1.3.5, we’re delivering a smaller set of focused improvements aimed at polish and consistency across Battlefield 6. This update enhances melee responsiveness, refines jet combat, improves ladder interactions, and resolves UI and HUD issues in Multiplayer and REDSEC, alongside fixes for Battle Royale and Gauntlet stability.

The update will be available on Tuesday, January 20, at 9 AM UTC (1 AM PDT, 4 AM EDT, 10 AM CET).

Major Updates for 1.1.3.5

• 
  Improved responsiveness, consistency, and sprint behavior for melee attacks, including knives and the sledgehammer.
  
  
• 
  Updated jet combat balance by reducing jet cannon effectiveness against other air vehicles.
  
  
• 
  Updated and refined the UI and HUD across Multiplayer and REDSEC, improving armor bar visibility, reticle presentation, and menu navigation.
  

CHANGELOG

VEHICLES:

• 
  Fixed an issue where vehicles could explode when a takedown was performed on an enemy soldier lying on top of them.
  
  
• 
  Reduced jet cannon damage against other jets and helicopters, requiring approximately 40% more hits to destroy enemy air targets.
  

WEAPONS:

• 
  Bipod attachments no longer display as always providing a hipfire accuracy bonus, as this bonus only applies while the bipod is deployed.
  
  
• 
  Fixed an issue where the GRIM 1.50x optic on the DB-12 cost fewer loadout points than intended (15 instead of 25).
  
  
• 
  Fixed an issue where the RPKM iron sights would shoot low when using the short barrel.
  
  
• 
  Fixed an issue where the TR-7 Light Barrel incorrectly improved muzzle velocity.

• 
  In the Firing Range, target dummies can now take damage while in the process of getting back up.
  
  
• 
  Shooting with a suppressor now emits a small muzzle flash when viewed from close range only.

Thank you to the Battlefield community for your feedback and support since the launch of Battlefield 6 and our all-new free-to-play destination built on Battlefield’s iconic DNA, REDSEC. Last year, our franchise received an unprecedented amount of support: millions of players returned to Battlefield or joined us for the first time during the most successful launch in Battlefield history.

That launch included a commitment to providing monthly content-rich updates for our players. After delivering a packed Season 1 in 2025, including the surprise launch of REDSEC, a battle on the homefront with California Resistance, the year-ending festive Winter Offensive event, as well as deploying several patches, we head into the new year excited about what's next.

During our ongoing development, we've continued to review community feedback and, in order to keep our promise, determined that our best path forward is to extend Season 1 and give ourselves extra time to further polish and refine Season 2

Season 1 will be extended past its in-game end date of January 20, and we will launch Season 2 on February 17. The Season 1 extension update to Battlefield 6 and REDSEC will be released on January 20, which will include new weekly challenges, a Bonus Path, and a continuation of the Season 1 Battle Pass until the start date of Season 2.

We are also reinforcing Battlefield Labs as the public preview for future game updates in the late stages of development. Both the Season 1 extension and the use of Battlefield Labs will set the foundation for new and exciting content throughout our live seasons, including what will come in Season 2.

We look forward to sharing more details about Season 2 in February and a greater 2026 roadmap for Battlefield 6 and REDSEC in the near future.

Season 1 January Update Details

Prior to the January 20th Season 1 extension update, expect Update Notes about the exact fixes and stability improvements from our Community team; this Update Notes post, as well as previous Update Note posts, can be found in the “Game Updates” section of our website here.

The Season 1 extension will also have an additional Bonus Path, a showcase of Portal Community Experiences, several Double XP periods, and free daily login rewards:

Frostfire Bonus Path - Available January 27th

Available on January 27, unlock new customization rewards, including a Weapon Package and a Soldier Skin, as well as XP Boosts, by advancing through the tiers of the Frostfire Bonus Path. Additional rewards require purchase of the Season 1 Battle Pass.

Free rewards from the Frostfire Bonus Path will include a Hardware XP Boost, a Vehicle Skin and playercard customization items, while Battle Pass owners can grab a new Weapon Package, a Career XP Boost and additional customization items.

The Frostfire Bonus Path can be completed concurrently alongside the Season 1 Battle Pass. In other words, you do not need to choose to make progress between a Season 1 Battle Pass Path - i.e. Rogue Ops, Soldiers Of Fortune - and the Frostfire Bonus Path. Each Bonus Path Tier requires 10 Bonus Path Points to unlock, which means you need to earn 110 Bonus Path points to complete the Bonus Path.

Unlike previous Bonus Paths, all Bonus Path Points for the Frostfire Bonus Path are earned through Weekly Challenges; there are no Bonus Challenges associated with this Bonus Path.

For each Weekly Challenge, the amount of Points earned varies by challenge; for example, an easier Weekly Challenge can award a range of Bonus Path Points depending on difficulty. Not all Weekly Challenges reward Bonus Path points; consult your in-game Challenges menu for more information and see how it works, for example, with Winter Offensive.

Valentine’s Day, Daily Login Rewards, Double XP Weekends and More

Later this update, we’ll be celebrating Valentine’s Day: commit to your duo now, or forever hold your peace. We’re also introducing another set of Daily Login Rewards and several Double XP Weekends throughout the update period.
