Battlefield 6<\/a> has blasted onto the FPS scene, revitalizing Electronic Arts\u2019 franchise with a return to classic elements and a hefty dose of widespread destruction. But its October 10 release was just the beginning. Developer Battlefield Studios has more free content coming for the game, starting with its first season, which kicks off on October 28 and runs to November 11.<\/p>\n

Seasons for Battlefield 6 are broken into three timed, themed updates. The first in Season 1 is Rogue Ops, bringing a new map, mode, and weapons for players to try. I hit the dirt with Rogue Ops\u2019 new content, going hands-on with its new map, Blackwell Fields, and its gameplay mode, Strikepoint. I also got to try the map and mode coming with the second update, California Resistance, on November 18.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Here are all the hands-on details for what\u2019s coming in Rogue Ops, as well as a few looks ahead to California Resistance.<\/p>\n

\"\"\/<\/a><\/p>\n

New maps<\/h2>\n

Blackwell Fields<\/strong> \u2014 Coming in Rogue Ops, Blackwell Fields is a massive oil field in the California chaparral. The All-Out Warfare map is set in a desert landscape that catches fire easily as helicopters, planes, and tanks fight over the vast area. Blackwell Fields provides a lot of open space, with rolling hills and low brush that are great for snipers to set up camp. Vehicles also have plenty of room to maneuver on their way to different objectives. But with oil wells, construction equipment, and shipping containers dotting the landscape, there are plenty of places for infantry to dig in and get into some intense fights.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"\/<\/a><\/p>\n

Eastwood<\/strong> \u2014 With Pax Armata attacking new targets, NATO soldiers find themselves fighting cells in the suburbs of Los Angeles in the California Resistance update. Eastwood is one such Southern California town, where the fighting takes place in the streets and through the houses. Eastwood\u2019s suburban landscape offers a lot of locations for intense skirmishes, with battles fought in and out of living rooms and through drained pools and back yards as tanks shred high-end homes. A wide-open golf course means you\u2019ll need to take care not to get sighted by enemy troops as you move, but there\u2019s still a whole lot of variety in this map.<\/p>\n

Get to the \u2026 golf cart!<\/strong> \u2014 One very cool aspect of Eastwood is that it\u2019s littered with driveable golf carts that are great for an impromptu escape or trip to a new objective. You might also try ramming them into enemy vehicles, provided you remember to jump out in time.<\/p>\n

\u200b\u200b\"\"\/<\/a><\/p>\n

New modes<\/h2>\n

Strikepoint<\/strong> \u2014 Rogue Ops also gets a new 4-on-4 multiplayer mode, which pits two squads against each other in close-quarters combat as they battle over a single objective. Players only get one life per round in Strikepoint, so it\u2019s essential to play carefully, stick with teammates, and watch for ambushes. Victory in a round is attained when a team either captures the objective or eliminates the other squad, and the first team to win six rounds takes the match. Strikepoint is a tough mode that hardcore players are sure to love, where tactical awareness, good strategies, and clear communication are all essential to taking down a win.<\/p>\n

Sabotage<\/strong> \u2014 An 8v8 mode coming with California Resistance, Sabotage gives you one of two objectives: destroy boxes of equipment scattered across a small, close-quarters map, or prevent the opposing team from doing so. Teams switch between offense and defense, with the team that destroys the most equipment winning the match. The trick to the mode is to destroy the caches as quickly and efficiently as you can, using everything in your arsenal to get the job done \u2014 while still defending yourself against enemy fighters. Explosives are at a premium, for attackers, while defenders need to use smart positioning to box out the opposing players as they continually stream into the battle zone. Sabotage is a chaotic, action-packed mode that might be a bit more welcoming to casual players who want to continually rush into the action with little downtime. It\u2019s full of players constantly fighting and quickly respawning.<\/p>\n

\"\"\/<\/a><\/p>\n

New weapons<\/h2>\n

In addition to new modes and maps, the three updates in Season 1 bring new weapons to the fight. I tried each of the three guns that will be available with Rogue Ops, as well as its new vehicle. You can earn all of them through the free tiers of Battlefield 6\u2019s battle pass, and with four different paths through that pass, you\u2019ll be able to choose which rewards you want to prioritize. Complete all four paths and you\u2019ll unlock a fifth free path to work through.\u00a0<\/p>\n

You can also purchase Battlefield Pro, which nets you additional battle pass rewards and cosmetics.<\/p>\n

SOR-300C \u2013 Carbine <\/strong>\u2014 This carbine is built for close-range engagements and is highly lethal when you\u2019re near to an enemy. It has a lower fire rate than other carbines, but deals higher damage, making it great for tighter confines and smaller maps. At shorter ranges, it can be effective both hip-firing and aiming down sights, and it\u2019s pretty solid at midrange if you fire in bursts to manage the recoil.<\/p>\n

Mini Fix \u2013 Sniper Rifle <\/strong>\u2014 Good news for Recon players: Rogue Ops drops a new, faster sniper rifle option. The other snipers currently in the game force you to lower the rifle to cycle a new round every time you shoot, unless you equip an attachment, making them pretty slow. But Mini Fix can shoot through its entire 10-round magazine much more quickly than its counterparts, without interrupting your aim. It doesn\u2019t hit quite as hard as some other rifles as a result, but the ability to keep firing on a target might make up for it.<\/p>\n

GGH-22 \u2013 Sidearm<\/strong> \u2014 The new Glock 22 sidearm is a solid middle-of-the-road choice that feels pretty lethal at short range, even firing from the hip. It serves a balanced position among the other sidearms, with a few more shots and a little more damage than some, but a slower firing rate than others. It might not replace the sidearm you\u2019re already comfortable with, but it\u2019s a solid option in an emergency.<\/p>\n

Traverser Mk. 2 \u2013 APC vehicle<\/strong> \u2014 A new armored personnel carrier hits the field in Rogue Ops, and it\u2019s great for capturing objectives. The APC is a support vehicle for infantry fighters. It can carry soldiers across maps and is outfitted with mounted weapons, while also offering attachments like an integrated med bay to heal players, and an emergency repair station to keep the APC in the fight.<\/p>\n

New attachments<\/strong> \u2014 Rogue Ops also introduces a few new modifications you can add to your guns. Rail Covers for some rifles and light machine guns increase the gun\u2019s draw speed, while Low Powered Variable Optics scopes give you a few new options for the magnification on LMGs and rifles.<\/p>\n
