Battlefield REDSEC, Battlefield 6’s foray into the world of Battle Royale, is out, but it offers way more than a simple BR mode. REDSEC contains a small but rich amount of game modes that players should totally try out to get the best out of the newest take on the popular gameplay genre.
REDSEC Battle Royale
The Battle Royale mode is, naturally, the closest to Fortnite, Warzone, or PUBG, but it comes with a few tweaks of its own.
A game of REDSEC Battle Royale is composed of 100 players, divided into 25 teams of four players or 50 two-player teams. Either way, the final squad standing will take home the prize.
The major change separating REDSEC from other BR titles is the playable area. In other BR titles, staying out of the playable area would cause damage over time. This was meant as a hindrance, but the best players would find ways to sacrifice HP to gain better positioning. REDSEC has a dramatically different approach, one where leaving the play area will immediately get them killed.
Originally, Battle Royale matches were a one-and-done thing until Apex Legends introduced respawn mechanics that would give downed teammates a chance to come back. In REDSEC, the only hope for players to come back after getting knocked down is to get revived by their teammates before the entire team goes down.
Like most other BR titles, REDSEC also features vehicles, but here they don’t exist primarily as a way for players to move across the map. Some vehicles feature pretty lethal options, such as tanks that can easily obliterate enemies and most of the game’s structures.
REDSEC Gauntlet Mode
REDSEC’s Gauntlet Mode narrows the gap between the BR genre and the very popular Squid Game. Instead of having teams directly killing each other off, it features 32 players divided into eight teams of four players who’ll battle through a series of rounds. These rounds feature eight different mission types, and the teams that don’t clear the objectives will be eliminated. The mission objectives are standard Battlefield fare like “capture X zone”, but they’re randomized, so players will really have to put their teamwork abilities to the test to succeed.
REDSEC Portal Mode
REDSEC’s Portal Mode is where you go once you start to get tired of the base game. Portal is less of a game mode and more of a sandbox where players create their own games for their friends to enjoy and their foes to perish in.
On top of a wide array of customization options for the games they’ll create, some that’ll allow players to create something that looks nothing like a regular Battlefield match, Portal also grants players access to the rest of the community’s lobbies. Should Portal take off, it could turn into something akin to a modern version of Garry’s Mod, and that would be just phenomenal.
