Battlefield 6 is coming for the multiplayer throne. Just weeks after launching to rave reviews for its traditional multiplayer experience, Battlefield Studios launched the free-to-play RedSec, its take on the battle royale. While certainly a departure from what fans would expect from the series, RedSec has proven to be decent fun for those not getting their fix from kings of the genre like Fortnite and Warzone.
Now, just a few weeks later, the team is already expanding its free-to-play offering with a newer style of play called Gauntlet. It’s a round-based, tournament-style mode that has eight squads of four fighting to be the last crew standing. Each of the five rounds has teams competing in one of eight randomized, objective-based game types, all contained in smaller sections of RedSec’s Fort Lyndon map. It’s a genuine test of a squad’s ability to work together in a variety of different scenarios, and according to Battlefield 6 Senior Game Designer Isabel Conde, a perfect gateway to the larger, premium Battlefield experience.
