**
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**

- **New Content Arrives: **The Wet Work Event begins, bringing a new hunt-or-be-hunted event experience across Battlefield and REDSEC, alongside Tactical Obliteration, Casual Battle Royale, the EOD Bot Arm melee weapon, and a new Battlefield 6 Free Trial.

- **Gunplay Improvements:** Core gunplay has been updated to reward more deliberate aim, better recoil control, and stronger weapon mastery. Damage multipliers, dispersion, muzzle velocity, bullet drag, recoil variation, and Bolt-Action Rifle sweet spot ranges have been adjusted so pacing shots, controlling recoil, and aiming for the upper body matter more consistently.

- **Netcode and Damage Feedback Improvements: **This update continues the netcode and combat readability improvements we’ve been making throughout the season. Hit confirmations, damage feedback, server-side damage handling, bandwidth prioritisation, and TimeNudge behaviour have received further tuning to reduce delayed damage, late enemy position updates, and extreme cases of dying behind cover.

- **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.

- **UI, HUD and Front-End Clarity: **Combat information and menu presentation have been improved across the game. Map indicators, objective messaging, revive prompts, hit fe
