“Deadliest Ring in BR” System
“There’s no jumping in and out of it, no using it for cover, no walking through it–if you get caught in it, you are done” according to Battlefield Studios. The ring system includes urgent warnings as the fire approaches, forcing players into intense firefights as the playable area shrinks.
Class-Based Gameplay Integration
Four-Class System:
- Each class starts with two default gadgets

- Example: Assault class gains faster armor plate equipping
Loot and Progression:
- Five weapon tiers with attachments and upgrades
- Class-specific crates and general loot containers

Destruction and Vehicle Combat
Battlefield’s trademark destruction elements allow players to “blast down walls to gain the advantage”, while vehicles range from common transport to powerful armored units that can “turn the tide of battle.”
Mission-Based Objectives
Squads can complete optional missions for extra rewards, including:
- Unlocking high-value caches
- Planting explosives on mission-critical targets
- Risk-reward decision making for weapon caches and vehicle keys
- Airdropped rewards that other squads may attempt to steal
Second Chances System
The mode includes revival mechanics through Support class players and Mobile Redeploy options, providing multiple ways to stay in matches longer than traditional battle royale games.
Testing and Release
Battlefield Labs testing requires NDA agreements and prohibits sharing gameplay footage. The battle royale mode’s release date and business model (standalone or integrated with Battlefield 6) remain unannounced.
Battlefield 6 launches October 10 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, with the battle royale mode following at an undetermined date.
FAQs
How does the instant-kill ring differ from other battle royale games?

Can you change classes during a Battlefield 6 battle royale match?
No, once a match begins, players cannot change their chosen class for the entire duration of that match.
