Overview
- Battlefield Comms says rerolling weekly challenges will no longer give Battlefield 6 players objectives that can only be completed in Redsec, while Redsec players can still receive additional Redsec‑compatible tasks.
- Redsec launched October 28 as a free‑to‑play, standalone battle royale tied to Battlefield 6 Season 1 with shared progression and cross‑play across PC, PS5, and Xbox.
- Gauntlet, Redsec’s new 32‑player format with four objective‑based rounds and squad eliminations each stage, has drawn praise as a fast, focused alternative to traditional battle royales.
- Early user reception on Steam trended negative or mixed, with reports noting more than 3,000 of roughly 5,219 early reviews did not recommend the game, largely citing challenge tie‑ins.
- At launch Redsec offers Duos and Quads with no Solo playlist, and Gauntlet currently supports only squads of four, limiting options for solo players.
