Battlefield 6 Developer Reveals Key Details About Weapon System

Sure, here’s the rewritten version:

—

Alright, so here’s the deal with Battlefield 6. A dev who’s been knee-deep in the chaos says the game’s open beta is letting folks mess around with both class-locked and open weapon systems. It’s been a hot minute since we saw a mainline Battlefield game, right? Battlefield 2042 was the last, and now we’re all squirming in anticipation for the next big splash.

Funny thing is, there’s no solid release date yet. But EA, in their mysterious fashion, decided to drop a reveal trailer this July 24, 2025. Fancy, huh? They’re basically letting the cat out of the bag with this one. But let’s be real, thanks to the endless testing with the player community via Battlefield Labs, most of what we need to know is probably already out there. EA is just kinda giving a nod to all those whispers and rumors flying around. Like, major shake-ups are brewing, maybe messing with the traditional Battlefield vibe we know.

So, one contentious bit? The class system is getting a makeover. Now, you might be expecting a lot of excitement or anger here, but I’m just like—meh. They’re ditching the whole class-lock thing so you can pick whatever weapon without stressing over your class. But wait, not quite. David Sirland, the Lead Producer, popped onto Twitter with a nugget of info. Players will have the choice—I mean, options are nice, right?—between using class-locked or open weapons in the beta. It’s all in an official playlist option. Like hey, get a taste of both worlds?

If you’re sticking to tradition (like, are you one of those?), the closed weapons playlist is for you. You’ll have Assault with the iconic Assault Rifles, Recon sticking tightly to Sniper Rifles, etc. It’s almost like Battlefield 4 again. Remember that gem? This could be a nudge to those who didn’t care much for Battlefield V or 2042. But hey, freedom is doing what you want. So, maybe give the open playlist a spin. Pick up whatever your heart desires.

Here’s a tidbit—EA hasn’t said if they’ll keep this open weapon system past the beta. Feels like they’re playing a game of “Let’s see what they prefer.” I mean, makes sense, if you’re trying to get a feel for things. Either way, whether you’re the sticking-to-your-guns type or the let’s-try-something-new kind of player, this beta is something to look forward to. At least that’s what I’m thinking. Who knows, right? Maybe they’ll surprise us.
