Season 4 of Battlefield 6 has today kicked off alongside the release of a major new update. Throughout 2026, Battlefield Studios has continued to push out new patches for BF6 on a regular basis that have looked to address feedback that players have provided. This resulted in Battlefield Studios making some major strides with BF6 throughout Season 3, which slowly began turning around the negative sentiment toward the game that had developed. Now, to capitalize on this momentum, Season 4 is looking to lean into elements of the franchise that longtime Battlefield fans are surely familiar with.
Downloadable now, update version 1.4.1.0 for Battlefield 6 is one of the largest updates that the game has received yet. Likely the biggest focus of this patch is tied to naval combat, which is the focal point of Season 4: Pacific Front. Not only does this update look to improve gameplay tied to vehicle and character movement while in water, but it’s also pushed out the new Tsuru Reef map, which is the biggest one that is now seen in Battlefield 6.
Outside of Tsuru Reed, Season 4 of Battlefield 6 has also introduced two new vehicles and three new weapons. The vehicles in question both happen to be boats, which means that they’ll most frequently be seen when playing matches on Tsuru Reef. As for the weapons, they happen to include a new assault rifle, a new carbine, and an additional marksman rifle, which have been joined by some new attachments.
Expectedly, with the release of this new update, Battlefield Studios has also made hundreds of smaller changes to Battlefield 6 as well. Many of these adjustments are tied to certain bugs that have remained in the game, while others are simply fine-tuning the overall balance of BF6. And for those who play RedSec, which is Battlefield 6’s battle royale offering, countless alterations have been made solely to this game type.
To get a look at everything that has been done to Battlefield 6 with the start of Season 4, you can find the full patch notes for today’s update attached below.
Naval Combat and New Dynamic Wave System: Naval combat has hit the harbour. Take the fight across land, sea, and air on new amphibious maps and modes, captain your crew in naval vehicles, and master the new dynamic wave system as rolling water changes movement, visibility, and engagement flow across the Pacific shoreline. Navigate hostile waters, use shifting waves to disrupt enemy sightlines, and turn the tide of war from sea to shore.
Tsuru Reef: Deploy into the biggest all-out battleground yet. Fight across a sprawling Pacific archipelago dense with luxury bungalows, tropical vegetation, jagged cliffs, and open water, with combat built around land, naval, and air warfare.
RCB-90 Patrol Boat: Rule the waves in this two-seat armoured Patrol Boat built for power, pressure, and versatility. Command the coastline, push through enemy vehicles, or execute flanking manoeuvres from the water.
7.7m NSW RHIB: Joining Battlefield 6 from REDSEC, the 7.7m NSW RHIB is a fast and agile four-seat Light Transport Boat built for rapid coastal assaults. Equipped with a mounted machine gun, it gives squads a quick way to tear across the water and hit the coast.
BROD 3: Aim and adapt with the BROD 3, an aggressive and versatile carbine shaped by frontline feedback. Built with a collapsible stock for maximum mobility, it’s a strong ally for squads pushing into close-range combat.
EF88: Precision meets efficiency with the EF88, a bullpup assault rifle designed for mid- to long-range combat.
VSSM: Low volume. High damage. The VSSM is a Designated Marksman Rifle with an integrated suppressor and subsonic ammunition, built for players who want to stay quiet while staying lethal. With full-auto capability, it can handle threats with both speed and stealth.
Attachments: Season 4 introduces the Extended Barrel and 1P86 LPVO sight. The Extended Barrel with a 4″ extension increases projectile velocity at the cost of mobility and aim-down-sights speed, and is available for the M87A1, M1014, 18.5KS-K, and DB-12. The 1P86 LPVO provides a clear sight picture with manually switchable 1.50x and 4.50x magnification levels across supported weapons.
Ranked Battle Royale: A new season of Ranked Battle Royale arrives with a competitive leaderboard and new permanent rewards. Squad up, climb the ranks, and drop into the deep end as naval warfare reaches the Fort Lyndon marina.
Season 4 Battle Pass: Dominate every domain with new themed paths stocked with hardware, weapon packages, soldier skins, XP boosts, and more. Complete each path to unlock the final path and earn additional rewards built around command of land, air, and sea.

With the arrival of naval warfare in Season 4, Bots have received a broader behaviour pass to better support combat and traversal around water. Bots can now swim to shore, use boats to reach objectives, respond to pick-up requests, leave beached boats behind, and cross shallow water more reliably with land vehicles.
