Season 5 dropped on 10 Nov and Las Vegas is officially a warzone. Here’s the rundown from EA’s Season 5 announcement on Steam.
New event: Casino Heist
Fight on the Strip and the casino floor in Conquest and Escalation. Completing contracts earns DOUGH, a new limited-time currency you can trade in for private-security and casino-themed cosmetics and rewards. Over in REDSEC, Battle Royale and Rapid Royale (the fastest, most aggressive BR mode yet) run on Mirak Valley and the Las Vegas Strip.
New BF6 map: European Casino
Fully destructible facades for making your own flanks, close-quarters fighting on the casino floor, balcony sniping posts, and “lazy river trenches” to rush. DICE’s words: “We hope you enjoy your stay.”
New hardware
- M142 MRAS (vehicle): lightweight mobile rocket artillery built for area denial on the move.
- NSW4 (weapon): highly modular short-range carbine with subsonic ammo by default, so it stays off the radar when you fire.
- ADS-17 6GHz Signal Jammer (gadget): recon gadget that scrambles the enemy’s map, killfeed, objective status and location intel.
New Elite Series
A competitive REDSEC Battle Royale circuit meant to be the top destination for competitive Battlefield. Conditions apply; the official rules are at battlefieldesports.com/rules-en.pdf.
What are you grabbing first: the MRAS, the NSW4, or straight into Casino Heist contracts? And how does European compare to the rest of the map pool so far?
