FPS Battlefield 6 on Steam: Looking Ahead To Season 5 And Beyond

REDSEC Season 5 Moves Supply Bags and Recon Drones Into the Loot Pool

DICE's October 2 Season 5 preview reworks classes in REDSEC, the Battlefield 6 battle royale. Support's Supply Bag and Smoke Launcher and Recon's Drone move out of starting kits and into the loot pool, replaced by Supply Pouches, Deployable Cover, and a Handheld Jammer. Most PDWs, carbines, and assault rifles take one more bullet to kill against armor at set ranges. Rankings get tighter skill bands, and crashed players can reconnect mid-match.

  1. Supply Bag in the loot pool: fair or a nerf to every Support main?
  2. Does one extra bullet against armor fix the REDSEC TTK or make it a slog?
  3. Is a Handheld Jammer a real replacement for the Recon drone?
  4. Will battle royale reconnects finally make you queue solo without fear?
