The long-rumored (and recently leaked) Battle Royale mode was revealed by the Battlefield 6 development team a few hours ago. Testing will start this week through the Battlefield Labs platform. Destructible environments, classes, and other elements of Battlefield DNA are intended to be incorporated into this wildly popular game mode.
It should come as no surprise that the map was created especially for the Battle Royale game. It has a wide variety of tactical points of interest, each with a unique theme and layout that presents interesting gameplay possibilities. Players can locate common vehicles throughout the map during a Battle Royale match, eventually unlocking strong armored vehicles. In order to capitalize on the Battlefield franchise’s signature strength, the objective is to give players additional options for navigating the map early in a match and generating engaging combined arms action.
Destruction will encompass everything from breaking through walls to bringing down entire structures, which is undoubtedly something that other Battle Royale games lack. A hundred players will compete in the first test in twenty-five squads of four, each hoping to be the final squad standing. Pings, VoIP, and text are examples of communication tools. Players can rely on the Mobile Redeploy option and the Support class’s revives to keep their squad alive.
The constantly contracting ‘circle’ is a characteristic of the Battle Royale subgenre. This will be a fire ring in Battlefield’s twist, which requires players to stay inside it at a safe distance because it instantly kills anything it touches. In the majority of other games of this type, the circle only inflicts moderately deadly damage on players, which players occasionally take advantage of to avoid and eliminate enemies.
Another point of differentiation from other games is that each squad chooses the classes prior to a Battlefield Battle Royale match. Throughout the matches, the selected class cannot be altered. XP is obtained by defeating an opponent or finishing missions; players start each match with two default gadgets from their class and level up as they go. Intel Cases will be a particularly attractive target because they give the entire team experience. New traits become available as a class level up. The Assault class, for instance, can equip an armor plate more quickly.
Players complete missions, fight for loot, and explore the map during a Battlefield Battle Royale match. Weapons will be available for looting in five different rarity tiers, along with armor, upgrade kits, gadgets, throwables, strike packages, attachments, and personalized drops of favorite weapons. Through mission rewards, armored truck unlocking, looting defeated enemies, or general or class-specific loot crates, these items can be obtained.
In order to give squads a competitive advantage over their rivals, the game will continuously assign missions to them that require them to accomplish goals that offer additional rewards. Among the tasks are setting off explosives to destroy mission-critical targets and unlocking valuable caches. The available rewards, such as a vehicle key, mobile redeploy unit, or weapons cache, will be included in the mission details. When the mission objective is finished, the rewards are airdropped in, which means that if the recipients aren’t careful, other squads might sneak in and take them.
