Don't just shoot downed enemies in Battlefield Redsec, make them work for you by interrogating them and revealing their allies instead

Battlefield 6 Redsec battle royale: A NATO soldier wearing full armour and a face mask sat down inside a helicopter.

If you've played a battle royale before, chances are you've run into the awkward situation where you've killed all but one member of an enemy squad, but you just can't find the bugger. Either they ran for the hills, or they've got a grudge and are preparing to ambush you for round two. What if I told you there's a way to get around this in the Battlefield 6 battle royale Redsec, if only you show some restraint?

It's only explained in a loading screen or in-game tip (if you haven't turned those off) that you can melee downed enemies to perform a shakedown. This will play a short takedown animation that will reveal the positions of any remaining squadmates, whether it's one lone straggler or three of them. It's easy to miss the prompt, so be careful not to do a standard melee swing, as that won't reveal enemies, and you risk outright killing the downed enemy instead.
