It is today, October 28, that Battlefield 6 enriches its arsenal with RedSeca whole new mode Free Battle Royaleplayable even without owning the base game. And this time, Electronic Arts hits hard: 100 players, mandatory squads, and a playing field where the slightest mistake is paid for in cash.
Inspired by Call of Duty: WarzoneRedSec does not seek to slavishly copy it. On the contrary, it imposes its own rules of the game. Cannot play solo : the mode focuses everything on teamwork. Whether in a duo with a friend or in a squad with strangers, coordination will be essential.
A game mechanic that is crueler than it seems
RedSec introduces a instant death ring. No progressive damage: enter the forbidden zone, you die immediately. A radical mechanic that clearly distinguishes this mode from classic Battle Royale and pushes players to constantly stay on the move, while monitoring the flanks.
Each player chooses a single class at the start of the game, without the possibility of modifying it along the way. The land is full ofweapons, gadgets and vehicles distributed according to different levels of rarity. And for those who like twists and turns, special mid-game missions allow you to recover a fallen teammate or obtain rare equipment.
Playable without purchasing Battlefield 6 or online subscription
RedSec is a 100% autonomous mode: it does not require nor purchase Battlefield 6, no subscription to Xbox Game Pass or PlayStation Plus. A choice that should appeal to hesitant players or those who have not yet taken the plunge.
But not everyone welcomes him with open arms. On the forums, some fans regret that Battlefield is following a trend initiated by Call of Duty with Warzone. Others, on the contrary, welcome this development, seeing it as a way of opening the license to a new audience.
Battlefield 6 thus manages to catch the Battle Royale wave without completely denying its DNA. And RedSec, with its accessibility and intensity, could well make waves. Whether you are a veteran or a curious person, this free mode deserves at least a try.
