EA's September 30 community update says Battlefield 6 Season 5, Siege of Vegas, opens with two new desert maps, with a third Vegas map later in the season. REDSEC battle royale gets Rapid Royale Solos at launch, 20% faster armor plating, and PDWs, carbines, ARs, and LMGs needing one extra bullet on armored targets at some ranges. A server browser and BR Duos arrive mid-season. Update 1.4.3.5 also went live September 30 with loading-screen and spectator crash fixes. No start date yet.
