Battlefield 6 Season 2 Launches Feb. 17 With Phased Maps, New Modes, and Little Bird’s Return

The rollout prioritizes faster progression with core gameplay fixes shaped by Battlefield Labs testing.

Overview

  • Extreme Measures on Feb. 17 adds Contaminated, the VL-7 Strike LTM with hallucinogenic gas countered by gas masks, three launch weapons, two gadgets, and the AH-6 Little Bird helicopter.
  • Nightfall on Mar. 17 introduces Hagental Base, a darkness-focused LTM that leans on night vision or flashlights, plus a dirt bike, the CZ3A1 SMG, and the VZ.61 sidearm.
  • Hunter/Prey on Apr. 14 debuts Operation Augur, an Operations-inspired mode spanning Contaminated and Hagental Base, alongside an LTV vehicle and a 14-inch machete.
  • Progression changes streamline challenges, allow assists to count for dailies, accelerate Battle Pass token gains, and boost career and weapon XP, including for Redsec players.
  • Gameplay updates deliver fully consistent recoil compensation, broad weapon tuning, smoother movement and clearer audio, with Labs continuing to test fixes like Golmud Railway, hit registration and netcode.
