Battlefield Studios shares lots of new details on the battle royale mode. Battlefield Studios has shared lots more official information about Battlefield 6's battle royale mode, which is officially called Battlefield: Redsec. Some of the information revealed so far pertains to match sizes, gameplay systems, and how the game has the "deadliest ring" in the genre. Players don't have to wait long to try RedSec, as it launches as a free game on October 28. "We see a great opportunity to infuse the core Battlefield pillars of class-based squadplay, tactical destruction, and vehicle combat into the battle royale genre to create a high-stakes and adrenaline pumping gameplay experience," the developer said. "This is Battlefield's twist on the classic formula, so you can expect to find all of the core principles of Battlefield taking place within this mode; gadgets, explosives, destructible environments, and vehicles can all be used to secure the win." Battlefield: RedSec launches at 8 AM PT / 11 AM ET on October 28 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. It is a free-to-play game, so you don't need to own Battlefield 6 to check it out. A launch trailer for Battlefield: RedSec will be released on October 28 at 8 AM PT / 11 AM ET alongside the game's official launch. Battlefield 6's battle royale map, which doesn't have an official name yet, was built specifically for battle royale, the developer said, and it will feature a "diverse array" of points of interest that provide "unique gameplay opportunities." The mode will have vehicles, too, including "common" transport vehicles and "powerful armored vehicles to turn the tide of battle." Battlefield Studios said the goal is to "offer more ways for players to traverse the map early on in a match and to create interesting combined arms action in the process." The battle royale mode will also carry forward Battlefield's trademark destruction elements, allowing people to blast down walls to gain the advantage. "We look forward to seeing players' ingenuity with destruction and how they use it to defeat their opponents," the developer said. In this new battle royale test, matches will be composed of 100 players, divided into 25 four-player squads. The goal, as you might have guessed, is to be the last squad alive. Battlefield 6's battle royale mode also supports "second chances," as Support class players can revive downed allies, while the game also has "Mobile Redeploy" options to stay alive longer. In terms of what Battlefield Studios is calling the "deadliest ring in BR," the studio said the ring will instantly kill players upon contact. In other games, including Call of Duty: Warzone, you can survive outside the ring for a period of time. "With urgent warnings as the fire approaches, soldiers will be pushed into more intense firefights as the game space continues to shrink," the developer said. "There's no jumping in and out of it, no using it for cover, no walking through it--if you get caught in it, you are done. We're excited to see how the ring affects the pace of the game and how it creates spontaneous showdowns." Want us to remember this setting for all your devices? Battlefield's class system will carry forward to battle royale, so players can pick a class and assemble a team however they see fit between the Assault, Engineer, Support, and Recon classes. Once a match begins, however, players cannot change their class for the duration of the match. Each class gets two default gadgets from their chosen class to begin a match, and then during matches, players earn XP by defeating players and completing missions. Each class has a "Training" element to it as well, and as players level up their Training, they'll get new traits that "enhance" a given class. "One example would be the Assault class being faster in equipping an armor plate which makes them harder to defeat in their next (or current) firefight," the developer said. In terms of weapons and items, there are five tiers of weapons to loot, as well as attachments, throwable items like frag grenades, gadgets, strike packages, armor, upgrade kits, and "custom drops of favorited weapons." "These items can be found across the experience through general loot crates, class-specific crates, unlocking armored trucks, mission rewards, or looting defeated enemies," Battlefield Studios said. Battlefield 6 battle royale matches will also include "Missions" that squads can work together to complete for extra rewards. "Tasks range from unlocking high-value caches to planting explosives to eliminate mission-critical targets. Mission details will outline the available rewards like a weapons cache, vehicle key, or Mobile Redeploy unit, leaving it up to each squad to decide if the risk is worth the potential reward," the developer said. "Once the mission objective is complete, rewards are airdropped in, so squads should stay alert for others who may attempt to steal them."
