Battlefield 6 free trial adds casino heist event

Battlefield 6’s free trial is available through Monday, Nov. 16. Players can start the trial through the free Battlefield Redsec application on Steam, the Epic Games Store or the EA App. Other Battlefield 6 modes are available during the trial, and players can continue using Redsec afterward.

The trial began Friday, Nov. 13, following the launch of Battlefield 6 Season 5 Phase 2. The update adds the European Casino map, which is designed for close-range infantry combat and does not include vehicles.

European Casino includes luxury hotels, shopping areas, casino floors and resort grounds. The map has destructible cover, narrow maintenance corridors and back rooms that provide routes around opposing teams. Explosives can destroy weaker cover and create new lines of sight. Motion sensors and claymores can be used to monitor or defend tight spaces.

A large tower on the map can also be brought down during a match. The resulting destruction changes parts of the surrounding area, so teams must account for their positions before triggering it.

The Casino Heist event takes place on European Casino. It gives players contracts with objectives such as eliminating opponents, capturing objectives, supporting teammates, using gadgets, dealing damage, winning matches and exploring parts of the map.

Completing contracts awards Dough, a temporary event currency that can be exchanged for cosmetic items. Repeatable challenges provide additional ways to earn Dough after the initial contracts are completed. Players who complete enough contracts can access another challenge and a bonus reward.

Season 5 Phase 1 added the Vegas Strip and Area 51 maps. Phase 2 continues the Las Vegas setting with the casino heist event and adds new weapons and gadgets.

EA is also planning a limited public test of Battlefield 6’s server browser after the launch of Season 5 Phase 2. The test will initially give some players direct in-game access to the feature. A global release is planned after EA reviews performance data and applies any necessary fixes. Once available to all players, the server browser will appear when the game starts.
