EA has revealed the roadmap for Battlefield 6’s second season, with a three-phase rollout spanning three months. After a delay that led to season one being extended by four weeks, the developers are ready to launch season two after incorporating community feedback. The update introduces two new maps, six weapons, multiple vehicles, and several limited-time modes across both Battlefield 6 and its free-to-play companion, REDSEC.
Battlefield 6 Season 2: Extreme Measures (Phase 1)
The first phase centers on Contaminated, a German airbase map set in the Bavarian mountains. Comparable in size to St. Quentin Scar from Battlefield 1, the map features rocky terrain with support for all vehicle types including the duo of helicopters—AH-6 Little Bird and MH-350.
Phase one also introduces a new VL-7 Strike limited-time mode featuring psychoactive smoke that creates hallucinatory effects without dealing damage. Players must locate masks and filters throughout Contaminated to navigate the smoke safely, adding a layer of tactical decision-making to standard multiplayer matches. The same smoke mechanic also makes its way to REDSEC in the Gauntlet Altered State knockout format and Synthesis, which allows players to call in VL-7 strikes.
To help players tackle the new game mode, Battlefield 6 is also bringing new weapons and gadgets for players to utilize.
Phase 1: Extreme Measures Weapons and Gadgets:
- GRT-CPS marksman rifle
- VCR-2 assault rifle
- M121 A2 light machine gun
- 9K38 IGLA air defense launcher (Engineers)
- HTI-MK2 hardware suppression system (Recon)
Battlefield 6 Season 2: Nightfall (Phase 2)
Nightfall introduces Hagental Base, an infantry-focused underground map inspired by classic close-quarters Battlefield locations like Metro and Locker. The accompanying limited-time mode removes ambient lighting, requiring players to use night vision goggles while managing light sources.
REDSEC also receives an expansion with Defense Testing Complex 3, an underground point of interest beneath Fort Lyndon. The location features tunnel networks and high-tier loot. Gauntlet: Nightfall brings the darkness mechanics to select operations with modified squad sizes.
Much like phase one, Battlefield 6 will bring new weapons and vehicles for players to utilize as they navigate the darkness. This includes the VZ.61 machine pistol, the game’s first automatic sidearm.
Phase 2: Nightfall Weapons and Vehicles:
- M1030-1 dirt bike (fastest land vehicle)
- CZ3A1 submachine gun
- VZ.61 machine pistol
Battlefield 6 Season 2: Hunter/Prey (Phase 3)
The final phase delivers Operation Augur, a limited-time mode that connects season two’s narrative by combining both new maps in a multi-stage format. Players attack across Contaminated’s vehicle-heavy combat before transitioning to Hagental Base’s infantry engagements.
Phase three also brings Portal mode updates with verified experiences for Battle Royale Duos and custom Escalation modes, along with additional SDK improvements for creators.
Phase 3: Hunter/Prey Equipment:
- LTV (Light Tactical Vehicle)
- KAPOK 14″ Machete melee weapon
Battle Pass and Progression
All gameplay-affecting items unlock through free Battle Pass tiers. Season one content becomes available through Catch-Up Challenges at Career Rank 20, including the GGH-22 sidearm, Mini Scout sniper rifle, and SOR-300C carbine rifle. Each phase features a limited-time Bonus Path with cosmetic rewards, starting with Year of the Horse challenges running Feb. 17 through March 3.
Battlefield Pro subscribers will receive 25 tier skips, six instant unlocks, 100-player persistent server hosting, and bonus path access. The update also includes weapon recoil tuning, movement refinements, and audio improvements. Battlefield 6 season two kicks off on Feb. 17, with the second and third phases following on March 17 and April 14, respectively.
