Battlefield 6 Launches Casual Breakthrough With Progression and Reduced Bot XP

The bot-heavy playlist reflects a broader push to protect progression fairness during XP‑farm crackdowns.

Overview

  • Casual Breakthrough is live under Multiplayer with 16 human players per lobby (8 per team) supported by 32 bots across two initial maps, Siege of Cairo and Empire State.
  • Players earn Career, Weapon, and Battle Pass XP and can complete challenges, with full credit for actions against real opponents and reduced credit for bot interactions.
  • Dogtags, accolades, and career stat updates are disabled for this playlist to limit unintended progression advantages.
  • The mode arrives after developers restricted progression on bot-enabled Portal servers to deter XP farms and offer a lower-intensity, official alternative.
  • Battlefield Studios also made temporary XP adjustments in Strikepoint during an exploit investigation and is monitoring feedback as players raise concerns about playlist fragmentation and queue times.
