Battlefield 6 Season 1 is live alongside REDSEC, the new free-to-play battle royale and Gauntlet modes that run inside the BF6 launcher. With the update, many players are seeing unlock text and challenges that reference a “Lead the Way Pack,” often tied to the Ranger skin. The problem: there isn’t a store item with that exact name at launch, and the usual challenge tracks don’t spell out a path to “Lead the Way.”

What “Lead the Way” appears to be

Based on in-game references, “Lead the Way” looks like a named cosmetic bundle, most notably associated with a Ranger skin unlock. It’s not surfaced as a clearly labeled item in the BF6 or REDSEC storefronts at launch, and it doesn’t appear as a standard challenge reward track either. In short: the game points to a pack that isn’t visibly purchasable or claimable by that name right now.

Separately, Season 1 introduces multiple content tracks and bundles—core All-Out Warfare additions, REDSEC rewards, a battle pass, and rotating store packs—which makes cosmetic naming overlap more likely. That’s fueling the confusion you’re seeing with “Lead the Way.”

Context that matters for unlocks this season

  • REDSEC is free-to-play inside Battlefield 6 with shared XP and battle pass progression between REDSEC and the base game. Cosmetics and unlocks can be earned in either place, though some challenges are game-specific.
  • Season 1 content is rolling out in phases with new modes, maps, weapons, and Portal updates. That staggered schedule means certain cosmetics and packs can appear later in the rotation.
  • Platform promos exist. On PlayStation, there’s a free REDSEC bonus bundle for PS Plus members; this is separate from the standard battle pass or paid editions.

Where to look for the “Lead the Way” pack (and the Ranger skin)

Where to check What to do Why it can help
In-game Store (BF6 and REDSEC tabs) Browse Featured, Bundles, and rotating offers. Re-check after daily resets. Cosmetics tied to named packs often rotate. The pack may surface under a different display name.
Battle Pass tracks Review current tiers and instant unlocks; note any cosmetics tagged to packs. Some skins reference pack names but are awarded via pass tiers or instant unlocks in premium editions.
Challenges/Assignments Open Seasonal and Weekly tabs, then inspect reward notes on each card. Items can be flagged with a pack name even when earned through challenges, not purchases.
Platform promotions On PlayStation, claim the REDSEC PS Plus bundle from the platform store if eligible. Platform bundles sometimes include cosmetics that share naming with store packs.
Code redemption If you’ve received a code with a purchase or promo, redeem it at the official page. Some packs are code-only. Use the Battlefield 6 redemption page if you have a code.

What we can confirm—and what’s still unclear

  • There is no clearly labeled “Lead the Way Pack” in the launch storefront across platforms right now.
  • Unlock text mentions the pack in connection with the Ranger skin, but standard challenges don’t outline how to obtain “Lead the Way” as a reward.
  • Season 1 includes multiple purchasable or claimable bundles beyond the battle pass (for example, an “Advanced Pack” sold at launch), which could host items referenced by a different internal name.
  • The total number of dog tags available at launch is higher than some UI prompts imply, and “Lead the Way” does not presently map to a tag challenge track.

What’s unresolved is whether “Lead the Way” is a mislabeled reference to a live bundle, a placeholder for a timed rotation, or part of a platform/promo distribution. The game text suggests a bundle identity; the store presentation doesn’t yet match that label.

Practical next steps if you’re chasing the Ranger skin

  • Check both the BF6 and REDSEC store tabs daily. Cosmetic rotations have shifted quickly during Season 1’s rollout.
  • Scan the full battle pass grid and any “instant unlock” entitlements tied to your edition. If you own a premium edition or battle pass upgrade, confirm you’ve claimed all instant items.
  • If you’re on PlayStation with an active PS Plus subscription, claim the REDSEC bonus bundle from the console store and recheck your Armory for new skins.
  • Review Seasonal and Weekly challenges for any cards that show the Ranger skin as a direct reward, even if the text mentions a pack.
  • If you have a retail or promotional code referencing a bundle, use the official redemption page, then restart the game and recheck the Armory.

Why this confusion is happening now

Season 1 landed with REDSEC’s launch, a new Gauntlet mode, a battle royale map the size of a small region, and a rebuilt progression layer that ties free-to-play rewards to the main game. That’s a lot of moving parts, and cosmetic names don’t always line up cleanly between internal labels, storefront tiles, and challenge text—especially during the first rotation window.

If your goal is the Ranger skin flagged under “Lead the Way,” the most reliable path today is methodical: clear current challenges, claim platform promos, and monitor store rotations. As Season 1 cycles through its next phases, expect mislabeled or placeholder pack references to either resolve into visible bundles or be folded into clear challenge rewards.
