What you’re downloading

REDSEC is a free, Battlefield‑scale battle royale set around Fort Lyndon, a sprawling Southern California blacksite. It layers in large‑scale destruction, fast squad play, and a shrinking ring that punishes late rotations. Alongside the core BR mode, Gauntlet introduces a knockout race where squads complete missions to survive and advance. The entire experience ties into Battlefield’s Portal, giving every player tools to create and remix modes and rulesets.

Whether you’re updating Battlefield 6 or installing the free version, you’re a download away from the full Season 1 slate. Make room for the install, update your drivers and firmware if needed, and drop in.
