Breakthrough is Battlefield 6’s attack-and-defend mode: the attacking team pushes sector by sector across the map by capturing the objectives in each one, with a limited pool of tickets that is replenished after every sector falls. The defenders win by running the attackers out of tickets before the final sector.

Link to section: What it isWhat it is
Breakthrough arrived in Battlefield V and became the series’ main linear mode; in Battlefield 6 it is the second All-Out Warfare mode alongside Conquest. The map is divided into sectors, each with one or more objectives. Attackers must capture them all to advance; defenders fall back to the next sector when they lose one. Attackers’ tickets are limited but refilled on each sector taken, so a stalled attack loses and a steady one keeps its momentum.
Vehicle availability is reduced compared with Conquest, and the mode runs on medium-to-large layouts of the vehicle maps.

Breakthrough is a mode about chokepoints, so it is where destruction matters most. The attacking side that tries to walk through the stairways on Iberian Offensive or along the bridge on Manhattan Bridge loses; the side that blows a new route through a building, smokes the approach and pushes as a squad wins. Defenders should expect to lose the first sector and should save gadgets and vehicles for the sectors where the geometry favours them.
Support is the most valuable class on either side because the mode burns through ammunition and revives, and the attacker who respawns at the front keeps the ticket pool healthy.
