Moreover, a battle go for BF6’s first season hyperlinks to REDSEC, providing a number of rewards that may be unlocked to be used in each titles, although some issues like maps and autos will likely be particular to BF6 itself.
As for REDSEC from a gameplay standpoint, whereas it’s a battle royale shooter set in a big scale map, it additionally gives three of its personal distinct modes: a traditional battle royale mode, a mission-based elimination mode referred to as gauntlet, and its personal portal the place gamers could make their very own experiences very like they’ll in BF6. The gameplay loop seems to in any other case be the identical as different such shooters, solely with a definite Battlefield taste within the type of destructible environments and character class mechanics.
