Battlefield 6’s Season 2 launches on PC today, kicking off a three-month slate of new content aimed at re-engaging the playerbase. The update introduces a contaminated-themed map, additions to the Redsec battle royale, new kit including a compact but lethal helicopter, and a limited-time mode built around hallucinatory gas mechanics.

  • Season length and timing: a three-month run of themed updates and events to keep play cycles fresh.
  • New map — Contaminated: a purpose-built environment reflecting the season’s toxic motif and offering fresh tactical chokepoints.
  • VL-7 Strike LTM: players must equip gas masks and manage filter supplies to survive drifting clouds of mind-altering gas, available in both standard multiplayer and Redsec.
  • Redsec and kit updates: new modes for the battle royale side, new weapons and gadgets, plus a small, nimble helicopter that sacrifices armor for lethality.
  • Player retention push: the season is clearly positioned to address a dip in Steam numbers since launch by introducing risky, attention-grabbing mechanics.
