Battlefield 6 Game Update 1.2.3.0 arrives on April 14, with new content and improvements, including the Operation Augur limited-time mode, the LTV, the Ripper 14”, and a new Battle Pass Bonus Path.

At 09:00 UTC, players will be able to download Update 1.2.3.0 as it goes live across all platforms.

At 12:00 UTC, all content included in this update goes live, including new limited-time content, vehicles, weapons, and Battle Pass updates.

Alongside the new content, Update 1.2.3.0 also delivers a wide range of gameplay, progression, UI, audio, and Portal improvements to further polish the overall Battlefield 6 experience.

NEW CONTENT

Time to fight for survival. This update expands the fight with new rewards to earn, a new frontline support vehicle to deploy, and Operation Augur, a new limited-time mode fought across Contaminated and Hagental Base.

Battle Pass Bonus Path

Gear up for the harsh conditions ahead with a new Battle Pass Bonus Path packed with rewards built for the fight. Unlock equipment and cosmetics designed to help you endure the hostile environment and stay combat-ready as the battle for control intensifies.

New Limited-Time Mode

Operation Augur: The battle for Hagental Base has begun. In Operation Augur, NATO launches a desperate push to reclaim its satellite defence network from Pax Armata in a large-scale battle fought across two connected maps.

The fight begins in Contaminated, where attacking forces can use VL-7 smoke to disrupt defenders and create openings across the frontline. From there, the battle descends into Hagental Base, where the fighting shifts into a tense close-quarters clash through tight interior spaces where teamwork, timing, and tactical play become critical to claim victory over Hagental Base.

Operation Augur is all-out warfare across two phases of combat, where strong squad play will make the difference between holding the line and breaking through.

New Vehicle

The LTV: The NATO variant of the Traverser Mark 2 arrives on the frontline. Built to keep squads in the fight, the LTV supports your team with spawn functionality and health and ammo resupply stations. With four seats available, it gives your squad the space and support needed to stay together, push objectives, and hold ground under pressure.

New Weapon

The Ripper 14”: Sharpen your attack with the Ripper 14”, a deadly new blade built for aggressive close-quarters combat. Fast, direct, and unforgiving, it is made for players who want to finish the fight up close. Obtainable through Hunter/Prey Battlepass Progression.

New Training Path in REDSEC Battle Royale

The Hazmat Breacher is a new Training Path for the Assault Class in Battle Royale designed to empower its users into becoming the ultimate entry fragger. Leveraging a modified Breaching Dart Launcher firing a concentrated form of VL-7 Smoke, players are able to weaken and dislodge dug-in foes, while protecting themselves from negative effects thanks to their Protective Mask. Leveling up this Training Path throughout a BR match will provide improvements to both the Protective Mask and to basic soldier survivability.

Major Updates for 1.2.3.0

• New Content Arrives: Operation Augur arrives alongside the LTV, the Ripper 14”, and a new Battle Pass Bonus Path that expands the rewards available during the fight for survival.
• Progression Feels More Rewarding: Weapon XP and Vehicle XP are now earned through active use alongside kills and assists, XP rates have been increased slightly across Multiplayer, and Battle Royale and Gauntlet progression now place more weight on time spent in a match, with Battle Royale also awarding higher scores for kills and damage assists.

Defibrillators

Dev Note: This update brings a meaningful balance pass to the Defibrillator, aimed at improving game flow and overall combat pacing while keeping revives impactful and rewarding. After reviewing its behavior over the past few months, we found it was too easy to revive multiple teammates in quick succession with minimal risk. Our goal is to preserve those clutch moments where you can get your squad back on their feet quickly, while encouraging more deliberate use.

To support this, the Defibrillator now uses a charge system (similar to earlier Battlefield titles), starting with 3 charges that allow for a few rapid revives before needing to recharge. Revive health scales with charge time: 50% instantly, up to 100% when fully charged, with smooth steps in between. A new UI indicator shows your charge progress to help you time revives effectively.

In addition, the health given with the charge duration can also be dealt as damage against enemies. This means that you can once again kill a player in one zap, if you’ve charged the defibrillator fully. 

PSA from your teammate that has been waiting to be revived for the past 10 seconds: Please fully charge your defibrillator!

Here are all of the details around what changes with the Defibrillator this update:

• Added a progress crosshair UI while charging.
• Damage now scales from 50 to 100 based on charge level, in 10-point increments.
• Fixed cases where downed soldiers could not be revived when pressed into corners or when lying on stairs.
• Full charge time has been increased to 1 second from 0.65 seconds.
• Fully charged shocks now deal 100 damage again, up from 60.
• Now use 3 charges that regenerate over time, with 1 charge restored every 4 seconds.
• Now requires a 0.35 second charge before a revive can be performed.
• The rate of fire is slightly reduced.
• Revives now restore between 50 and 100 health based on charge level, in 10-point increments.
• Updated deploy timing so charging can begin faster after selecting the gadget.

WEAPONS:

• Added the Ripper 14” Machete melee weapon as a part of the Hunter/Prey Battlepass Progression.
• Hollow Point and Synthetic Tip ammunition now cost less on most weapons.
• Range Finder now plays sound cues when a range check starts and when it completes.
• Corrected an issue on the CZ3A1 where throwing grenades while it was equipped could introduce a delay before the grenade was thrown.
• Corrected an issue on the DB-12 where certain attachments did not animate correctly during pump-action and reloads.
• Tweaked and retuned DB-12 animation tags to smooth transitions into and out of aiming down sights.
• Fixed camera recoil being lower than intended on the TH-RDS 1.00x optic attachment.
• The DRS-TH optic now appears correctly on the B36A4 and SVDM.
• Tweaked and retuned M87A1 animation values to smooth transitions into and out of reloads while aiming down sights.
• Corrected an issue where aiming sideways when using melee weapons could cause missing yaw rotation while a melee weapon was equipped.
• Corrected an issue where the Violet Laser was not providing its intended benefit when attached to the NVO-228E Assault Rifle.

PROGRESSION:

Dev note: One recurring point of feedback has been that Weapon Mastery progression can feel too dependent on kills and assists. Players who spend a match repairing vehicles or supporting their squad are still contributing in meaningful ways, but that contribution has not always been reflected clearly in progression.

To address that, we’ve added a time-based component to Weapon Mastery progression. Players will now continue earning progress through active use, even when they are not regularly securing kills or assists. XP earned from kills and assists is unchanged, making this an increase to the overall earn rate rather than a reduction or replacement of existing rewards.

• Added a new progression system that awards Weapon XP and Vehicle XP for use, alongside kills and assists.
• Adjusted XP earn rates across Multiplayer modes by roughly 5% to 10% to bring them closer in line with one another.
• Corrected the tracking for challenges so that damage by stationary aim-guided missiles now counts toward explosive damage criteria where intended.

• Corrected the Week 11 Bonus Weekly Challenge so kills made with underbarrel Grenade Launchers on Assault Rifles now award the intended double progression.
• Improved the “Rapid Fire 1” challenge notification in free-to-play modes so it now shows the full challenge presentation instead of only the weapon name.
• Corrected the BF Pro Season 2 Challenge 5 reward criteria so the correct unlock requirements are shown in Loadouts.

• Corrected an issue where weekly free-to-play challenges and missions tagged with “All Modes” now unlock and track properly for eligible players.
• Improved Red Bull challenge setup so “In Gauntlet: RB Supermoto, Capture Red Checkpoints as a squad.” uses the correct tag, “Earn Score while driving land vehicles, counts for double if gained in Gauntlet: RB Supermoto” now tracks and doubles correctly, that “Get total airtime in seconds using the ATV, Motorcycle or Light Infantry Vehicle.” now supports all intended Light Transport vehicles, and the F-97 Kestrel now uses its player-facing name instead of a dev-facing one.
• Improved Weekly Missions “Kill enemies and Revive teammates” so the bonus reward now displays correctly after completion.

• Corrected Weekly Challenge “Capture and Neutralize objectives in Multiplayer or Complete objectives in Gauntlet.” so objective completion now tracks correctly in supported Gauntlet modes.
• Corrected the Gauntlet Special Forces Operator Challenge 4 progression flow so it now advances after reaching the intended unlock criteria.
• Updated Weekly Mission “Complete matches in any mode.” so it now appears and tracks correctly in Multiplayer instead of only Gauntlet.
