Battlefield’s new battle royale REDSEC is here, and it contains all of the progression and unlocks from Battlefield 6.
XP leveling in Battlefield is a slow grind. Hopefully, it’s something that can be improved upon with updates if players complain enough, but for now, if you’re playing REDSEC as a free-to-play player, your options are very limited.
Weapons are gated behind level progression, and specific weapon attachments are gated behind weapon progression. The best way to rank up is to get kills and win games, but that’s not the most time-efficient method.
So far, here’s what we’ve found is the fastest way to level up and rank up guns in Battlefield REDSEC.
Fastest way to rank up guns in Battlefield REDSEC
Unfortunately, the best way to grind XP in Battlefield REDSEC is with Battlefield 6 multiplayer. Battle royale progression is very slow, even slower than normal BF6 (which players have been complaining about since launch), and not a reliable method of leveling.
Gauntlet mode is the best free-to-play mode to level up in REDSEC as of now. This mode offers a variety of different objectives to play for in a battle royale-like last-team-standing round after round, and the matches are decently fast. The rounds are played on smaller sections of the BR map, so you’re more likely to find other layers to rack up XP more quickly.
You can also try to find specific game modes in Battlefield Portal in REDSECwhere people can customize their own settings to hopefully make games go a bit quicker or force skirmishes for more gunfights. Otherwise, you are stuck with playing normal BR and seeking out kills there, which can be very inconsistent.
The only way to rank up guns in REDSEC is by using those guns, getting kills with them, and completing missions and contracts around the map. This is not ideal in a battle royale setting where there are 100 players, but the map is massive and engagements can be few and far between. You also have to rank up each individual Class (Assault, Engineer, Support, Recon) to get their best perks and weapons.
On day one, free-to-play progression feels quite slow in REDSEC, so hopes are that EA will improve the experience to even the playing field for those who do not own BF6.
