The next season of Battlefield 6 kicks off soon, and we've gotten a quick rundown on what's in the offing for the FPS. Two new maps and a pair of limited modes headline the additions, while progression is getting more fine-tuned to make playing all the more rewarding.
Contaminated is a new map that'll be in the first part of Season 2. It's "designed to deliver focused combat with multiple pathways and flanking opportunities," according to an official preview. It sounds intense, but also quite tactical.
The Battle Pass will be "more rewarding," letting you move through the ranks more quickly, and challenges have been altered to be more "streamlined." There won't be as many mode-specific hurdles to jump through, the sidearm challenges are being taken away, and assists will count for your dailies, making earning those rewards considerably easier.
Weapon balancing and player movement have both been tweaked, along with change to make audio clearer and more useful in active combat. EA and the devs at Battlefield Studios provide an update on the revamped Golmud Railway map. Originally from Battlefield 4, it's getting a rework for this installment, and players have been testing it.
Reactions are good thus far, apparently. "Players noted that the map feels familiar while still offering something new, including improvements to the northern town area and added cover that better supports infantry movement and engagements," the post states.
Golmud Railway will come in a later season. For now, Battlefield 6 Season 2 starts on February 17.
