This marks the start of a new chapter in the Battlefield 6 conflict, as PAX Warlords push the war to a global scale and every squad is called to fight their way to the top of the combat ladder. With Battlefield 6’s biggest map yet, the arrival of Ranked Battle Royale, new weapons to master, and the return of Dagger 13 unlockable through the Season 3 Battle Pass, Warlords: Supremacy sets the tone for the battles ahead. ** Battle Pass** Begin your reign in Season 3 with a new Battle Pass featuring 100+ tiers of rewards built for the war ahead. Unlock new hardware, weapon packages, soldier skins, XP boosts, and more as you progress from the Recruit Path through four themed paths on your road to becoming a legendary Warlord.

It is built for squads ready to go all in from day one. ** New Map ** **Railway to Golmud**: Battlefield 6’s largest map yet enters the fight in Season 3. This reimagining of a Battlefield classic delivers combined arms warfare at full scale, from a village in ruins and sweeping hills scarred by armor clashes, to a dense industrial site built for close-quarters combat, and a moving railway that squads must battle to control. 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** **Ranked Battle Royale**: Ranked Battle Royale Quads has arrived as the first step for competitive play in Battlefield 6, offering a new way to drop into REDSEC and compete for rank, rewards, and leaderboard status. Squad up, rise through the ranks, earn permanent rewards, and help shape the future of Ranked through BF Labs in Live.
