About

Battlefield REDSEC is a genre shifting free-to-play destination built on Battlefield‘s iconic DNA, featuring a bold new take on the Battle Royale genre, an intense squad-based competitive mode called Gauntlet and new ways to unlock the power of Portal. Battlefield REDSEC launches alongside Season 1 for Battlefield 6,which brings the battle to Southern California, introducing new seasonal content to the ultimate all-out warfare experience.

Today players can join the fight for free, with the launch of Battlefield REDSEC, an explosive sandbox set in the backyards and beaches of California in a destructible environment called Fort Lyndon.

As part of this free-to-play package, players can jump into Battlefield‘s biggest map ever Fort Lyndon, and experience an explosive new take on the Battle Royale genre. Battlefield‘s DNA is fused with the best of the Battle Royale genre, creating unrivaled opportunities for your team to approach each match and achieve ultimate victory. Players drop into a massive battle with 100 players, explore a massive world for powerful loot, and take down enemy squads through Battlefield‘s signature gameplay experience. The power of Tactical Destruction brings an entirely new level of strategy to the genre, as players create their own paths to victory or turn the environment into their own deadly weapon while crushing opposing squads. Each round is a bombastic ride on an incredible cinematic scale that Battlefield is known for.

Battlefield REDSEC‘s free-to-play destination also includes Gauntlet, a new mode which pushes squad competition to a new level of intensity. In this fast-paced elimination mode, eight teams of four-player squads compete in a series of dynamic round-based missions in a tournament-style format. Each round consists of 5-minute windows for squads to complete their mission objectives. Prepare for the unexpected as each round, location, and mission will be unique variables.

Players can also go beyond the lines in Battlefield REDSEC and change the rules of engagement with Battlefield Portal. With this toolset, players can create or discover their own Battlefield REDSEC experiences on the diverse and ever evolving Fort Lyndon playspace. Create a grueling battle environment with sledgehammers only, fight against the best of the best in a headshot contest or create something truly unexpected, with these powerful scripting and customization tools, all available within the Fort Lyndon sandbox for free.
