02

Does Battlefield 6 offer a single player mode?

Yes, in addition to the classic multiplayer, Battlefield 6 will also feature an extensive single-player campaign. The reveal trailer already confirms that the game will be set in an alternative version of the United States of America today. The title appears to be based on the Battlefield 3 and 4 series.

Mercenary troops from Pax Amata have invaded the country and it will be up to you to recapture the land over the course of the campaign. In typical Battlefield fashion, you will once again be using all kinds of vehicles, including tanks, fighter jets, helicopters, quads and much more.

Battlefield 6 sees the return of the series’ popular mix of intense combat, large-scale battles and freedom of play. Players can blow up walls and buildings to gain a tactical advantage or fight aerial battles in the sky.

The destructible environments typical of the series also play an important role again. For example, the trailer shows the destruction of a dam or a bridge.

Battlefield 6 Open Beta

If you don’t want to wait until the final release, the Battlefield 6 beta gives you the opportunity to play the game extensively before its release. EA has already revealed via X that there will be an open beta. However, it is not yet clear when exactly the open beta test will start.

It will give you the opportunity to play the multiplayer mode of the upcoming game extensively. As part of the Battlefield 6 Open Beta, it will also be possible to play the official playlists with signature weapons of the classes or to freely select all items.

What does this mean? Battlefield 6 will rely on class-specific equipment in multiplayer, just like the earlier parts of the series. The Assault class, for example, uses assault rifles, while the Recon class uses snipers. The free choice also allows classes to be equipped with other weapons and equipment.

The classes in Battlefield 6

Battlefield 6 brings back the iconic class system in multiplayer. In online games, you will once again team up with other players to form squads, with each player being able to freely choose their class.

The class system is defined by two main components: customizable and class-specific. Customizable are, for example, the loadouts, gadgets and throwing items, while signature weapons, gadgets and traits are defined by the chosen class.

Customizable training is designed to enhance the unique strengths of each class. Each class offers two individual training paths to choose from. They offer bonuses and benefits that give you advantages in teamwork and objectives. Training paths have three levels:

• Level 0: Passive advantage, which is immediately available when you select the training path.

• Levels 1 and 2: Improved advantage to strengthen the selected role. Only available through teamplay progress and XP.

• Level 3: One-time use ability that you activate manually. Helps you, the team or progress within a match.

Example: In the case of the Recon class, this level 3 ability requests a destructible drone at a marked position for passive sighting.

Signature Weapons & Traits (class-specific)

Each class has a class-specific weapon category, the so-called Signature Weapons. The weapons are designed to favor the respective play style of the class.

In addition, there are signature traits, i.e. special abilities for each of the four classes, which are also tailored to the special characteristics.
