Battlefield 6’s REDSEC mode is getting a Solo Queue test this weekend

Battlefield Studios has announced that Battlefield 6’s REDSEC mode is getting a solo mode, available for testing. Those of you who have been asking for a REDSEC solo Battle Royale queue can test the feature out from March 6-9, giving players their first opportunity to drop into matches without squadmates.

The new comes as par tof a larger post on Season 2, and upcoming Nightfall teasers as part of the Season 2 roadmap.

How to play the REDSEC Solo Queue test?

The experimental mode launches through Battlefield Labs, albeit a new testing section within the live game. The new way of testing is designed to evaluate features at scale before potential full implementation. Battlefield Labs as a standalone product remains invite only and under NDA, as the developers need to test and refine stuff, like Golmud Railway, which is still undergoing heavy testing and iterating ready for launch in a future season. All players can access the weekend test regardless of edition or season pass status.

If you jump in, you’ll find quite a few differences with the mode. Solo REDSEC removes several squad-based systems while maintaining core Battle Royale mechanics. 

Squad revives and redeploy towers are disabled, though the Second Chance self-revive system remains active. Missions have been adjusted for single-player completion with returned reward structures, and Class Training Path XP requirements now scale appropriately for solo progression.

Vehicles, including tanks, remain enabled for the test. DICE state vehicle availability is intentional, allowing devs to assess how combat vehicles impact pacing and late-game balance when players can’t coordinate as squads. The REDSEC design team will monitor feedback specifically around vehicle balance, mission design, and class training perk effectiveness in one-versus-everyone scenarios. It seems like vehicles could be very strong if you don’t have a squad to deal with a big tank or something. But light-moving vehicles will certainly be big for readjusting as a solo player.

Players can submit feedback through an in-game survey accessible from the main menu following matches. DICE also encourages discussion in the official Battlefield Discord server.There’s also no NDA, so feel free to post and talk about it as much as you want,m wherever you want. REDSEC Solo queue treat goes live from March 6, lasting till March 9th. It comes as REDSEC solo mode was only a possibility the devs were tresting out internally, trying to find ways to make it happen.
