After the massive success of Battlefield 6 Open Beta weekend 1, developer DICE has laid out all the new changes and updates for the second weekend of the Beta along with it’s start timings. The Beta is set to kick off today, August 14, at 8am UTC (1am PT) and runs until Sunday, August 17, promising another round of spectacular Battlefield 6 gameplay for all players. But before you join the battle, check out all the adjustments DICE has made for weekend 2 including new playlists, custom search options and more.
DICE Wrote, “During Week 2, we’re delivering more variety and choice for how you’d like to play with more playlists rotating between multiple different game modes.”
“As an example, the All-Out Warfare playlist will include both Breakthrough, Conquest, and Rush. The in-game descriptions for each mode will tell you which modes are included in the rotation.
“Rotating through multiple modes within playlists helps us understand what our community enjoys as we shape the launch experience, and enables us to keep more fan-favorite modes available at the same time.”
DICE has also added Custom Search for weekend 2 that allows all players of Battlefield 6 to select their favorite combination of maps and modes.
“Based on your previous feedback and to give you more control over map and mode selection, we’re introducing a new feature called Custom Search,” DICE stated.
“This feature allows you to choose your favorite combinations of maps and modes. For example, if you want to play Conquest on Siege of Cairo, then matchmaking will prioritize putting you in a match with this combo, if available. Note that this is not a Server Browser (which is not being tested this week).
“During Open Beta, Custom Search will be available for Open Weapon mode playlists so you can mix and match maps and modes as you prefer.”
