Battlefield 6 Launches Casual Breakthrough, Temporarily Reduces Strikepoint XP

The new playlist blends bots with small human teams, granting full credit only for actions against real players to keep progression fair.

Overview

  • Casual Breakthrough is now live in Multiplayer with two 24‑player teams composed of eight humans and 16 bots on each side.
  • Players earn career, weapon, and battle pass XP in the mode, with reduced rewards for actions involving bots and no dogtags, accolades, or career stat updates.
  • The playlist is initially available on the Siege of Cairo and Empire State maps, with the studio monitoring feedback for possible adjustments.
  • Battlefield Studios has applied temporary XP changes to Strikepoint while it investigates an issue affecting XP earnings in that mode.
  • Players have reported a Strikepoint exploit that can yield unusually large XP when opponents quit, and the studio continues limiting XP from unverified Portal experiences that allow bot backfill.
