Battle Royale games are loved dearly by players across the world. From Call of Duty Warzone to Apex Legends, millions of players log in every day chasing that last-player-standing thrill. The adrenaline rush of survival, the chaos of the shrinking circle, and the satisfaction of a perfectly timed win are a few things that keep players hooked. Battlefield 6 also recently joined the fray with its first-ever free-to-play Battle Royale experience called Battlefield: Redsec.

Battlefield 6 gets Battle Royale mode
Unlike most Battle Royale titles that throw players straight into the deep end, Redsec introduces a learning-first approach. The game’s Battle Royale Initiation playlist has been designed as a low-stakes entry point where new players can get comfortable with the mechanics. You drop in as a duo on a condensed version of Fort Lyndon, a compact battleground packed with loot crates, vehicles, and plenty of opportunities for ambushes. Matches are limited to 48 players – including bots – ensuring a balanced and less overwhelming start.
Before you land, you’ll choose a class that defines your playstyle: Assault for aggressive pushes, Engineer for repairing vehicles and sabotaging armour, Support for healing and resupplying, or Recon for sniping and intel gathering. Once you’re airborne, one player acts as the Squad Leader and decides when to jump, though you can always break formation if you want to chart your own landing spot. After touching down, the hunt begins: scavenge for weapons, ammo, and armour marked by colour-coded crates ranging from common to rare.
How to survive in Redsec
The key to surviving Redsec, as noted in PlayStation’s official blog post, is smart decision-making. Beyond eliminating enemies and avoiding the deadly chemical ring known as the Circle of Death, players must also complete Contracts which are optional in-match objectives that reward powerful gear and XP. These dynamic missions push players to move strategically across the map instead of camping, adding a layer of depth to the usual last-squad-standing formula.
Interestingly, Redsec also gives everyone a safety net in the form of a “Second Chance.” Die early, and you’ll instantly redeploy from the sky. Skip it, and you’ll earn extra XP. You can also bring back fallen squadmates by activating Respawn Points scattered across the map, keeping the action fluid and unpredictable until the final circle closes in.
About Gauntlet mode
For players who prefer structured, round-based firefights over open-world chaos, Redsec also includes Gauntlet. This mode features eight squads of four players each competing in a series of high-intensity missions that test teamwork and tactical execution. Winning four rounds means victory, while falling short leads to elimination. Each mission comes with a short briefing to help you understand objectives and maximise your team’s score.
Beyond the core modes, Redsec expands on Battlefield’s community-driven side with Portal Community Creations, a sandbox environment where players can design and share their own custom experiences. It’s a familiar concept for long-time fans and a clever way for DICE to ensure Redsec stays fresh with new content and player-made ideas over time.
With its mix of intense Battle Royale action, classic squad-based combat, and endless creative potential, Battlefield: Redsec is here to add another layer to your gaming experience. Whether you’re dropping into Fort Lyndon with a friend or grinding through Gauntlet missions, this one’s got everything it takes to keep you hooked for hours.
