All new features and content in Battlefield 6 open beta second week

After a successful early access period and the first week of the open beta phase, Battlefield 6 is on a roll right now. Starting from August 7 to 10, the beta phase boasted over a whopping half-a-million million players.

And this feat becomes more impressive when it's realized that this is just the PC users.Now, as we are approaching the second week of the Battlefield 6 open beta, it is expected that the player-count is going to reach newer heights, breaking more records. And for that, EA is leaving no stones unturned as the company has planned to bring more content in the second stint of the beta phase.

Everything new that is coming to Battlefield 6 open beta second week

After the disastrous display from Battlefield 2042, bringing back fans of this long-standing franchise to Battlefield 6 was the main job of EA. After the first phase of the open beta, it seems the job is more than done. But the developers aren’t stopping there, because more brand new content is slated to be featured in the second phase of the open beta. Here are they:

New Modes

As leaked a month earlier, the popular Rush mode will be back this time.

Just like in Counter-Strike and Valorant, there will be two teams where the defenders will stop the attackers from destroying the pairs of military communication channels named M-COM stations with explosives. Failing to stop the bomb from exploding or letting the stations get destroyed would reduce the limited numbers of respawn cards given per phase.Along with it, everyone’s favorite Squad Deathmatch mode will be there where four teams will get face-to-face to reach the elimination goal.

Not only that, a new form of the popular Breakthrough mode will be available as well, where players can only equip class-specific weapons.

New Map

A new map called Empire State will join the flurry in the second phase of the open beta of Battlefield 6. This map is set in the streets of Brooklyn and will be infantry-focused.

New Rewards

Following the seven challenges in the first weekend of the open beta, the second week will also feature three challenges. Completing these challenges will again grant high-value rewards, which will be carried forward to players’ inventory when the game gets fully released on October 10, just like the previous weekend’s rewards. Here are the new challenges and the rewards:

This is it for all the new content that is coming to the second weekend of Battlefield 6.

Along with these new elements, previous content like the three maps, the previous game modes like Conquest, Domination, etc. will all be there. Battlefield 6 open beta second weekend begins on August 14, 2025 at 4 AM ET and will run until August 17 at 4 AM ET. Unlike the first phase, there will be no early-access option for the players. So, everyone can hop it around that given time. However, you might need to uninstall Valorant before playing the second phase of Battlefield 6 open beta.Read More: Battlefield 6 Open Beta: Best graphics settings to try
