Fort Lyndon: The Biggest Battlefield Map Ever
[p]Welcome to Fort Lyndon - part SoCal beach community, part military blacksite, all battlefield. You’ll fight through urban city centers, dense military compounds, and once-idyllic suburban neighborhoods. This is our largest Battlefield map ever created, with secrets and intel waiting to be discovered.[/p][p][/p]The Battle Royale Mode - The Battlefield Way
[p]Here’s a quick rundown of what you’ll need to know.[/p][p]Player count: 100 per match - 25 squads of 4 or 50 duos.[/p][p]Battlefield DNA, tuned for the Battle Royale mode:[/p]- [p]Core Battlefield classes are in play, but altered from Battlefield 6 to work within the context of Battle Royale. For example:[/p][list]
- [p]Assault class retains the use of the ladder for vertical flanks from Battlefield 6. Their traits have been tweaked with benefits, including faster armor recharge, faster gadget regen, and more.[/p][/*]
- [p]Support class spawns with the ability to carry extra armor plates and ammo. They can rank up to providing full-health revives and boost the regen rate of nearby squadmates.[/p][/*]
Gauntlet
[p]We wanted to bring something to the table that no one’s played in Battlefield before, so we built Gauntlet. It is structured as an elimination series where squads work together to score points by completing objectives, getting kills, and supporting one another across 4 randomized missions of vital importance to the operation in Fort Lyndon.[/p][p]Eight squads of four soldiers each enter, but only one will make it through all four missions. After every mission, the squads with the fewest points are eliminated from the match, with the top 3 earning bonus progress on their training paths to gain the upper hand in the next mission. Intensity rises as staying above the cut line becomes more and more difficult until the two best squads finally face off in one last mission to determine who will claim victory.
[/p][p]If your squad is eliminated because teammates leave mid-operation, top performers can be reassigned to a surviving squad instead of leaving the game. At the end of each mission (except the Final Mission), reassignments may take place. The game will check for open slots and fill them so squads stay full and you can get back to gaming.
[/p][p]There will be 8 different types of mission varieties at launch. Here’s a taste of what some of these missions will entail:[/p]
- [p]Decryption: Squads compete to pick up and protect locator beacons while they transmit data[/p][/*]
- [p]Wreckage: Your squad needs to find, transport, and detonate bombs at hostile M-COMs scattered across the combat zone.[/p][/*]
- [p]Vendetta: Your squad needs to eliminate marked hostile High Value Targets and protect a High Value Target of your own.[/p][/*]
- [p]Circuit: Your squad earns points by capturing and defending control terminals; the larger the network, the more points you earn.[/p][/*]

Portal
[p]Portal in REDSEC is the same powerful toolset you’ve seen in Battlefield 6, now applied to REDSEC’s content set.[/p]- [p]Builder & Spatial Editor: Tweak player counts, weapon/vehicle pools, health regen, sprint speed, and more. Remix spaces with the Spatial Editor to craft custom maps.[/p][/*]
- [p]Fort Lyndon: The map is segmented into six Portal-ready playspaces, giving creators granular control over flow and scale. Only two playspaces will be available at launch; the remaining four will roll out in later updates as we continue to optimize performance and polish creator workflows.[/p][/*]
- [p]Updated SDK: With the introduction of REDSEC, our SDK will receive new assets for players to use in their experiences, with additional updates planned throughout the season.[/p][list]
- [p]With the launch of REDSEC, the SDK will not yet include assets from Gauntlet. That update is planned for a later date, and we’ll share more information once it’s ready.[/p][/*]
