Battlefield 6

Battlefield 6 features a wide range of multiplayer experiences that mix huge open battles with smaller, intense encounters. From vehicle-heavy warfare to close-quarters skirmishes, every mode offers a different way to fight. Here’s a look at all multiplayer modes currently available, what they do, and how they play.

Conquest

Conquest is the core Battlefield experience. Two teams fight for control of multiple objectives spread across massive maps. Every capture point drains the opposing team’s reinforcements, so holding more zones means steady victory. Expect tanks, jets, and infantry all colliding at once in one chaotic, all-map fight.

CQB: Lockdown

Lockdown takes the close-quarters format and makes it faster. Teams fight for control over key indoor objectives with quick respawns and ten-minute rounds. It mixes Domination and King of the Hill into a single rotation, keeping you in nonstop firefights.

Breakthrough

In Breakthrough, one side attacks while the other defends. Each sector must be captured in order, and attackers push forward as defenders fall back. Vehicles, infantry, and explosives all collide in this large-scale mode where momentum decides the match.

Rush

Rush is pure offense versus defense. Attackers plant charges on key objectives while defenders hold the line and run down the clock. Once both targets are destroyed, the battle moves deeper into the map. It’s tight, explosive, and rewards teamwork.

Escalation

Escalation is a tug-of-war over three control zones. Teams capture and erase objectives from the map, pushing the front line back and forth until one side owns three at once. Quick rotation and coordination decide who wins.

All-Out Warfare

All-Out Warfare mixes Conquest and Escalation in one massive playlist. It rotates between modes for back-to-back vehicle and infantry clashes. Jets scream overhead, tanks roll through cities, and both teams fight for total map control.

CQB: Attrition

Attrition shrinks the battlefield into close-quarters infantry combat. There are no vehicles, no air support, and rounds last just ten minutes. It’s fast, punishing, and perfect for players who want nonstop fights without long respawn timers.

Domination

Domination centers around small-scale objective control. Teams fight to hold flags across tight spaces, scoring points for every second they control an area. The first team to reach the score limit wins.

King of the Hill

King of the Hill constantly shifts objectives around the map. Teams rush to capture each active zone, switching between attacking and defending as the control point moves. Momentum and fast reactions are everything here.

Squad Deathmatch

Squad Deathmatch drops four squads into a confined map with one goal: eliminate everyone else. There’s no capture or defense here, just raw firefights until one squad stands alone.

Team Deathmatch

The classic Battlefield brawl. Two teams fight across smaller sections of larger maps. Every kill brings your team closer to the score limit, and the first side to hit it wins. It’s quick, simple, and perfect for warmups or short sessions.

Attack and Defend

Attack and Defend serves as a rotating playlist built around Breakthrough and Rush. It focuses on infantry-heavy battles across mid-sized maps, where light vehicles occasionally appear to change the pace. It’s ideal for players who want structure without total chaos.

Closed Weapon All-Out Warfare

Closed Weapon All-Out Warfare follows the same large-scale format but locks you into class-specific weapons.

  • Assault classes use assault rifles

  • Engineers use SMGs

  • Support uses LMGs

  • Recon uses sniper rifles

It keeps the pace and scale of normal All-Out Warfare but with tighter balance and forced class identity.

Final Blurb

Battlefield 6’s multiplayer covers everything from high-speed jets to room-by-room fights. Each mode plays to a different strength, and Custom Search makes it easy to jump into exactly what you want. Whether you’re defending sectors in Breakthrough or trading shots in Lockdown, every round delivers a unique kind of Battlefield chaos.
