Take command of the coastline and turn the tide of war.

At **8:00 UTC**, players will be able to download the update as it goes live across all platforms and jump in with the latest gameplay changes.

At **12:00 UTC**, Season 4: Pacific Front content becomes available, with Tsuru Reef, the Dynamic Wave System, the 7.7m NSW RHIB, the RCB-90 Patrol Boat, new weapons, REDSEC updates, Portal features, new rewards, and the Season 4 Battle Pass going live.

Alongside the new content, this update also delivers a wide range of improvements across weapons, gadgets, vehicles, REDSEC, Portal, UI, audio, and overall gameplay polish to further improve the Battlefield 6 experience.

**NEW CONTENT**

**Naval Combat & New Gameplay System**

**Naval Combat and New Dynamic Wave System:** Naval combat has hit the harbour. Take the fight across land, sea, and air on new amphibious maps and modes, captain your crew in naval vehicles, and master the new dynamic wave system as rolling water changes movement, visibility, and engagement flow across the Pacific shoreline. Navigate hostile waters, use shifting waves to disrupt enemy sightlines, and turn the tide of war from sea to shore.

**New Map**

**Tsuru Reef**: Deploy into the biggest all-out battleground yet. Fight across a sprawling Pacific archipelago dense with luxury bungalows, tropical vegetation, jagged cliffs, and open water, with combat built around land, naval, and air warfare.

**New Vehicles**

**RCB-90 Patrol Boat:** Rule the waves in this two-seat armoured Patrol Boat built for power, pressure, and versatility. Command the coastline, push through enemy vehicles, or execute flanking manoeuvres from the water.

**7.7m NSW RHIB**: Joining Battlefield 6 from REDSEC, the 7.7m NSW RHIB is a fast and agile four-seat Light Transport Boat built for rapid coastal assaults. Equipped with a mounted machine gun, it gives squads a quick way to tear across the water and hit the coast.

**New Weapons & Attachments**

**BROD 3**: Aim and adapt with the BROD 3, an aggressive and versatile carbine shaped by frontline feedback. Built with a collapsible stock for maximum mobility, it’s a strong ally for squads pushing into close-range combat.

**EF88**: Precision meets efficiency with the EF88, a bullpup assault rifle designed for mid- to long-range combat.

**VSSM**: Low volume. High damage. The VSSM is a Designated Marksman Rifle with an integrated suppressor and subsonic ammunition, built for players who want to stay quiet while staying lethal. With full-auto capability, it can handle threats with both speed and stealth.

**Attachments**: Season 4 introduces the Extended Barrel and 1P86 LPVO sight. The Extended Barrel with a 4" extension increases projectile velocity at the cost of mobility and aim-down-sights speed, and is available for the M87A1, M1014, 18.5KS-K, and DB-12. The 1P86 LPVO provides a clear sight picture with manually switchable 1.50x and 4.50x magnification levels across supported weapons.

**New REDSEC Content**

**Ranked Battle Royale**: A new season of Ranked Battle Royale arrives with a competitive leaderboard and new permanent rewards. Squad up, climb the ranks, and drop into the deep end as naval warfare reaches the Fort Lyndon marina.

**Battle Pass**

**Season 4 Battle Pass**: Dominate every domain with new themed paths stocked with hardware, weapon packages, soldier skins, XP boosts, and more. Complete each path to unlock the final path and earn additional rewards built around command of land, air, and sea.

**Battlefield Pro**

Turn the tide of war with BF Pro. Gain instant BF Pro unlocks, tier skips, an exclusive bonus

### Battlefield 6 and REDSEC Battle Pass Content Update

- Date: 2026-07-10
- Original notes: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2807960/view/674000199448789622
- Permalink: https://whatsnew.fyi/product/battlefield-6/releases/steam-674000199448789622

- **changed** — Select items from previous Battle Passes will begin returning as in-game store items and bundles starting in Season 4
- **changed** — Eligible Battle Pass items will return no sooner than three months after their original Battle Pass has ended
- **changed** — Battle Pass Instant Unlocks, BF Pro Instant Unlocks, and items from the Ultimate and Prestige Paths will remain exclusive to their original season and will not be made available again

As Battlefield 6 continues to grow, we're making an update to how some previous Battle Pass content will return in future seasons.

We've heard from players who want more opportunities to earn or own cosmetics they may have missed, while also keeping each season exciting to participate in as it happens. With that in mind, starting in Season 4, we'll begin bringing back select items from previous Battle Passes as in-game store items and bundles.

Eligible items will return no sooner than three months after their original Battle Pass has ended. This gives players who participate during the season an initial period of time before select content may become available again.

Not all Battle Pass content will return: Battle Pass Instant Unlocks, BF Pro Instant Unlocks, and items from the Ultimate and Prestige Paths will remain exclusive to their original season and won't be made available again. Please note that the exact timing, availability, and selection of returning items may change over time and are not guaranteed.

Our goal is to ensure players who jump in each season receive the greatest experience from new content as it's released, while still giving others a chance to pick up cosmetics they may have missed later on. As Battlefield 6 evolves, we'll continue to review how previous content is made available and will make adjustments where it makes sense for both the game and our community.

Download, squad up, and make your mark with a legendary Only in Battlefield moment.

**
NEW CONTENT**

**Wet Work Event**  Every player has a target on their back. Wet Work is a new Battlefield event built around cutthroat missions, high-value objectives, and high-stakes situations across Battlefield and REDSEC modes. Assemble your arsenal, identify your target, and begin the manhunt.

**
New Mode**

**Tactical Obliteration:** The high-stakes Battlefield classic returns with a new level of intensity. With smaller teams and focused gunfights, Tactical Obliteration delivers a relentless chase for the bomb carrier in its purest form. Secure the bomb, escort your carrier to the detonation site, and obliterate the enemy.

**
New Battle Royale Mode**

**Casual Battle Royale:** A faster, more accessible way to drop into Battlefield’s Battle Royale experience. Casual Battle Royale brings shorter, more approachable BR Quads matches with additional AI Bots, making it the perfect entry point for every squad.

**
New Melee Weapon**

**EOD Bot Arm:** This bomb-defusing machine lends a hand in a different way. Repurposed from EOD equipment, the EOD Bot Arm is a new improvised melee weapon for close-quarters combat and last-ditch engagements.

**Major Updates for 1.3.3.0**

- **Gunplay Improvements:** Core gunplay has been updated to reward more deliberate aim, better recoil control, and stronger weapon mastery.

- **Netcode and Damage Feedback Improvements: **This update continues the netcode and combat readability improvements we’ve been making throughout the season.

- **Vehicle Combat Tuning: **This update builds on the vehicle changes introduced at the start of Season 3, with further tuning to counterplay, survivability, and weapon consistency. IFVs, MBTs, Mobile Anti-Air, Attack Helicopters, smoke systems, countermeasures, lock-on behaviour, and vehicle weapon damage have been adjusted to further refine their combat roles.

- **REDSEC and Second Chance Polish:** Battle Royale flow has been improved across looting, missions, Field Upgrade behaviour, Safes, UAV detection, and redeploy sequences. Second Chance transitions are now smoother, squads redeploy together more reliably, and players now face towards the centre of the ring when returning to the fight.

Alongside the new content, this update also delivers a wide range of improvements across weapons, gadgets, vehicles, Battle Royale, Gauntlet, Portal, UI, audio, and overall gameplay polish to further improve the Battlefield 6 experience.

**
NEW CONTENT**

**Explosive Charge Event**

High explosives have been set. Prepare for the blast with the Explosive Charge Event, a limited-time event built around destruction, momentum, and all-out chaos. Every push, pickup, and detonation brings squads closer to pure obliteration.

**
New Map**

**Cairo Bazaar:** A lively marketplace in the heart of Cairo enters the fight in Game Update 1.3.2.0. Packed with tight alleys, dense streets, and tactical opportunities for high-intensity close-quarters combat, Cairo Bazaar opens from a crowded market into a small city where vehicles patrol the roads and houses line the combat space. On Cairo Bazaar, every squad becomes a merchant of destruction.

**
New Mode**

**Obliteration:** The iconic Battlefield mode returns with a new evolution. In Obliteration, PAX and NATO fight to control neutral bombs placed across the map and use them to destroy enemy M-COMs. Both sides must risk everything to secure the bomb, escort the carrier, reach the detonation site, and obliterate the enemy.

**
New Weapon**

**PP-19**: An iconic Battlefield SMG is reborn. Built from a unique predecessor, the PP-19 delivers a modest but dependable close-range option, while still being able to tap into its helical, high-capacity roots through select modifications.

New Recon Gadget**

**Handheld Jammer**: Jam the enemy signal with the Handheld Jammer, a new Recon gadget that disrupts nearby smart and electronic devices for a short period of time.

**
Battle Royale Solos**

Battle Royale Solos returns with updates shaped by feedback from its Battlefield Labs live test. Player count has been reduced from 100 to 80, early ring speed has been increased to keep matches moving, and Main Battle Tanks and Infantry Fighting Vehicles have been removed to create a more balanced experience for players fighting alone.

**
New Attachments**

**Cryo:** Cryogenically-treated barrel that enables a quick transition to aim down sights (ADS) and improves accuracy during sustained fire.

**00 Buck: **Standard-penetration shotgun ammunition with increased range and damage per pellet, but fewer pellets per shot.

**New Customization Feature**

**Sprays: **Sprays arrive in Blastpoint, giving players a new way to express themselves and leave their mark across the battlefield. Accessible via the Command Wheel, Sprays can be placed on flat, non-destructible surfaces such as indestructible walls and floors. All players will have access to one default Spray at launch, and more Sprays are coming through future progression, events, seasonal content, and Store Bundles.

**
Battlefield 6 Free Trial**

From June 9-15, Battlefield 6 will be free to play for a limited time. Jump into 5 modes across 4 maps, squad up, and experience ultimate all-out warfare with new maps, new modes, new weapons, and the chance to create your next legendary Only in Battlefield moment.

**Major Updates for 1.3.2.0**

- **New Content Arrives**: The Explosive Charge Event arrives alongside Cairo Bazaar, Obliteration, the PP-19, the Handheld Jammer, and a new Battle Pass Bonus Path that expands the rewards available during the event.

On Railway to Golmud, infantry, ground vehicles, jets, and helicopters collide across a truly massive battlefield.

**
New Weapons **

**M16A4**: An iconic Battlefield assault rifle joins the fight in Season 3. With fully automatic and burst-fire capabilities, plus a carry-handle option for iron sights, the M16A4 is built to perform in mid to short-mid range engagements.

**L115**: Precision meets stopping power with the L115, a deadly bolt-action sniper rifle designed for long to very-long range combat. Compatible with multiple attachments, it rewards players who can stay calm and land the shot.

**RPK-74M**: Built for sustained pressure at range, the RPK-74M brings controllable handling and dependable output to longer-range fights. With minimal recoil and a steadier feel than heavier alternatives, it gives Support players a strong new option for locking down the battlefield.

New REDSEC Modes**

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/Prey 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.

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.

Download Battlefield REDSEC, squad up, and create your [Only in Battlefield](https://www.ea.com/games/battlefield/battlefield-6/ugc-campaign/bf6-clips) moment.
