Battlefield 6's new casual mode Breakthrough is stuffed with bots, leaving some players worried it's losing what "makes the franchise special" but others happy to have a less sweaty option

Battlefield 6.

There's now a more PvE-focused mode in Battlefield 6 called Casual Breakthrough, where two-thirds of the player-count is made up of bots.

The official description states the mode offers "a more relaxed way" for players to progress and earn XP. The catch is, there's already a belief that the shooter is easier than some folks would like. "The game is already casual, it has no matchmaking parameters," FPS-focused streamer The Tactical Brit responded on X/Twitter.
