Battlefield 6 Season 1 will be around a few weeks more due to a delay for Season 2, which starts on February 17. Initially, the Winter Offensive monthly drop for December was going to cap off the opening season, but now there's going to be an extra Bonus Path and a game update to tide players over for another few weeks. With that, here's a roundup of everything Season 1 introduced to Battlefield 6 and when Season 1 comes to close.
Battlefield 6 Season 1 end date
Season 1 of Battlefield 6 will end on February 17, with Battlefield 6 Season 2 taking over immediately after. Season 1 was originally set to end on January 20, but Season 2 has been delayed to give the developers "extra time to further polish and refine Season 2".
Full Battlefield 6 Season 1 roadmap
Season 1 was Battlefield 6's first run of post-launch content and started on October 28 with Rogue Ops, followed by California Resistance and Winter Offensive. All in all, two new maps were added - Blackwell Fields and Eastwood - along with one permanent game mode, a new APC vehicle, and six new Battlefield 6 weapons.
However, now that Season 1 has been extended there are a couple more minor additions to be aware of. First of all, there will be a January 20 Season 1 extension update that implements fixes and stability improvements. Players will also get to complete the Frostfire Bonus Path from January 27, and there will be double XP periods and daily login rewards, as well as some sort of Valentine's Day celebration.
Rogue Ops update (arrived October 29)
Rogue Ops was Battlefield 6's first content update, and was the biggest of Season 1, it added a new map, three new guns, and more:
- Blackwell Field map: A US air base in the California Badlands with room for land and air vehicles.
- New Strikepoint mode: Two squads of four players each compete over a central objective across multiple rounds, with each player having one life each. It's your classic intense elimination mode for small teams (4v4 in this case).
- New APC Traverser Mark 2 vehicle: A four-seater APC, capable of carrying a driver, roof gunner, and two passenger gunners.
- SOR-300C Carbine: A slower-firing and small carbine that packs a punch with high-powered .300 Blackout ammunition.
- Mini Fix Sniper Rifle: A light, bolt-action sniper rifle that Recon soldiers can carrying around to stay reasonably mobile.
- GGH-22 Sidearm: A high-capacity and high-fire-rate pistol that lacks damage.
- Rail Cover and Low Powered Variable Optic attachments: Both can be attached to a variety of rifles and LMGs.
California Resistance update (arrived November 18)
November's California Resistance update added another new map, a limited-time mode, and more guns:
- Eastwood map: A map for land vehicles and helicopters that takes place in the affluent suburb of Eastwood in southern California and is compatible in some form for all official modes.
- Sabotage limited-time mode: In this 8v8 mode each team gets one chance to attack and one to defend, with the attackers aiming to detonate as many sites as they can before the round timer ends.
- Battle Pickups: Many previous Battlefield games had these and they're essentially secret, high-tech weapons with limited ammo hidden on maps that you can find and use against the enemy team.
- Rodeo Gauntlet round: Teams must fight over and battle each other in vehicles, earning extra points for kills while in a vehicle.
- California Resistance limited-time Battle Pass bonus path: 11 extra rewards, most of which are cosmetics and free to all players, but these were only available until December 9 when Winter Offensive started.
- DB-12 Shotgun: A double-barrel, pump-action shotgun that can fire both barrels before it needs to be rechambered, and it can fire traditional shells or slugs. Unlocked at the end of the California Resistance bonus Battle Pass path.
- M327 Trait Sidearm: A high-damage, eight-round revolver with a slow fire rate and considerable damage drop-off. Unlocked through the Season 1 Hardware 3 challenge.
- Slim Handstop attachment: An underbarrel grip attachment that offers a bit more variety for this category. Unlocked via a challenge. Unlocked through the Season 1 Hardware 4 challenge.
Winter Offensive update (arrived December 9)
Winter Offensive was the final, December content update for Season 1 of Battlefield 6. It's the smallest update and mainly focused around a limited-time event that chills the Empire State Battlefield 6 map:
- Ice Lock Empire State Map update: This is a visual update for the Empire State map, covering the streets of Brooklyn in snow and ice.
- Ice Lock Limited-time event: Introduces a 'Freeze' is gameplayer modifier where you need to find warm zones to heal and stay alive.
- Nomad CX-12 ice axe melee weapon: The only new weapon for this update, unlocked after getting to Tier 12 in the Winter Offensive Battle Pass.
Battlefield 6 Training Paths are an integral part of your loadout and we'll hopefully be seeing some new ones added with future seasons.
