Team Deathmatch is Battlefield 6’s pure infantry mode: 32 players, no objectives, no vehicles, first team to the kill target wins. It runs on the smallest Combat Zones and is the quickest way to learn weapons and the destruction system.

Team Deathmatch needs little explanation: two teams of 16 on a small Combat Zone, kills are the only score. Battlefield 6 includes it as one of the Close Quarters Battle modes alongside Squad Deathmatch, Domination and King of the Hill. There are no vehicles, and the maps are the infantry-only layouts or small cut-outs of the larger ones.
It is the mode where open weapons matter most: with no objective to serve, players pick whatever gun suits the map, and class choice comes down to the trait and gadget.

Stay with your squad, use the revive. A squad that revives each other effectively has more lives than the enemy, and in a kills-only mode that is the whole game. Assault’s handling bonus is the strongest single class perk here, Support’s Quick Revive is the strongest team perk, and Engineer’s Flak Jacket keeps you alive in the grenade spam of a small map. Recon works with a shorter optic and the Motion Sensor; a sniper rifle on the back line contributes less than it feels like it does.
