Season 2 Content — What’s New
Season 2 rolls out in three monthly phases — Extreme Measures (Feb 17), Nightfall (Mar 17), and Hunter/Prey (April) — running through April 14, 2026.
Phase 1 — Extreme Measures (Feb 17): The launch map Contaminated is a medium-to-large scale arena set in an abandoned mountainous German military airbase, designed with chemical warfare themes — green gas zones affect visibility and demand tactical repositioning. Three new weapons drop via the Season 2 Battle Pass: the GRT-CPS Marksman Rifle, VCR-2 Assault Rifle, and M121 A2 LMG, alongside the 9K38 IGLA Launcher for Engineers and the iconic AH-6 Little Bird Scout Helicopter making its return.
Phase 2 — Nightfall (Mar 17): The Hagental Base underground infantry map arrives — inspired by Battlefield 3’s Metro and Locker — alongside a Nightfall LTM where Night Vision Goggles, Thermal Sights, and Flashlights become critical gear.
Phase 3 — Hunter/Prey (April): The Dirt Bike arrives as the fastest ground vehicle in Battlefield 6 and REDSEC, alongside the Operation Augur LTM and a bonus Battle Pass path.
This kind of live service game seasonal structure keeps player engagement high across months, not just at launch.

REDSEC New Modes
REDSEC gets two new LTMs — Gauntlet: Altered State featuring VL-7 hazard zones during mission gameplay, and Battle Royale: Synthesis where deployable gas zones create dynamic survival pressure mid-match.
One Big Bonus
Catchup Challenges arrive with Season 2, letting players unlock weapons they missed during the Season 1 Battle Pass — alongside the Year of the Horse event running February 17 to March 3 with free themed rewards.
