Battlefield 6 ignited discussions by introducing distinct Open and Closed Weapon modes. This system divides players between classic loadout purists and those seeking adaptable combat styles. Here’s a breakdown of Closed Weapon mechanics.
Closed Weapon playlist mechanics explained
These playlists enforce class-specific armaments across four primary groups:
- Shotguns
- DMRs
- Carbines
- Class-designated firearms (Assault Rifles, SMGs, LMGs, Sniper Rifles)
This prevents unconventional loadouts like Recon specialists wielding assault rifles. The system echoes historical entries in the franchise, maintaining traditional combat roles while allowing limited flexibility.
The controlled armament selection enables tactical adaptations within class frameworks. Recon operators can adopt close-quarters tactics using carbines rather than being confined to long-range engagements. While Open Weapon modes appear prioritized through interface placement, the inclusion of classic restrictions satisfies veteran players.
