If you’re new to Battlefield 6 or Redsec during the holiday season, there’s quite a bit to get familiar with. This beginner’s guide brings together everything we’ve learned since the game launched, along with insights from multiple experienced players. Whether you’re trying to grasp the basics or understand key concepts like combat strategies and class roles, everything you need to stay alive is right here.
What is Redsec exactly?
Redsec is a major feature of the new installment—this free-to-play battle royale mode of Battlefield 6 offers a gameplay experience similar to Warzone. We’ve put together some beginner tips for Redsec, but there’s lots more to explore beyond those basics.
While Battlefield 6 and Redsec are separate in terms of payment—one is free, the other paid—they share your progress, so switching between them won’t make you lose your advancements. Keep in mind, Redsec features a huge, unique map, and there are specific mechanics like how to get your loadout, find special stashes, and obtain tanks. Getting a tank in Redsec isn’t just about jumping in; it involves some strategy.
Currently, playing Battlefield Redsec solo isn’t an option, though developers have hinted it might come in future updates. For now, team play is required.
What’s included in Battlefield 6 and Redsec?
The game has received several updates, including three content drops over three months after launch, introducing new maps, game modes, and more. There’s also a single-player campaign, so if you’re curious about how long it takes to beat, we can help with that too.
Multiplayer and server info
Most initial server issues, like queues and errors, were with launch traffic but can still happen occasionally. If you experience trouble joining a game during busy times, it’s worth checking for updates or issues. Want to play with friends across different platforms? Look into Battlefield 6 crossplay options. And if you’re trying to find servers, the server browser is there—though it might look different from previous games.
Classes explained
There are four main classes—Assault, Engineer, Support, and Recon—each with distinct roles like fighting, healing, vehicle support, or long-range sniping. Your choice should reflect your play style; for example, if you like sniping, Recon might suit you, but rushing into combat with a Recon class might not be ideal. Each class can be customized and leveled up through challenges and missions. Knowing how to revive teammates and heal effectively is equally vital as your shooting skills, especially since staying alive boosts your team’s chances.
Weapons
Battlefield 6 offers a wide variety of guns, including Assault Rifles, SMGs, LMGs, Carbines, DMRs, and Sniper Rifles. Depending on your game mode—whether general gameplay or battle royale—you’ll want to experiment with different loadouts. There’s a clear weapon hierarchy for Redsec, but the best choice ultimately depends on your personal style. If you find something that works for you, stick with it as long as you’re getting results.
Vehicles
Vehicles play a crucial role, including tanks, jets, and helicopters, which can turn the tide of battle when used well. You can optimize your vehicle loadouts for better performance, and there are specific tips for flying, especially since some controls and mechanics have changed from previous entries. Mastering tanks is fairly straightforward, but flying in jets and helicopters might require a bit more practice to become effective.
— Both Battlefield 6 and Redsec continue to evolve, offering exciting ways to play. Focus on learning your class roles, selecting weapons you enjoy, and practicing vehicle control, and you’ll find your footing in no time.
