Battlefield 6 Open Beta: Class-Locked Weapons Are Here—but They're Hidden The Battlefield 6 beta features a class-locked weapon playlist—but it’s tucked away and easy to miss. Here’s how to find it and what it means
Battlefield 6’s second open beta weekend brings something unexpected: a class-locked weapon playlist, quietly included under the name “Closed Weapon All-Out Warfare.” It features game modes like Conquest and Breakthrough, but not Rush—and you have to scroll over in the playlist menu to find it.
🔍 How to Find the Closed Weapon Playlist
1. Load into the open beta during Weekend 2. 2. Navigate to the playlist menu. 3. Scroll right to locate the “Closed Weapon All-Out Warfare” playlist. 4. Note: It doesn’t show up by default or replace the open weapons experience.
🆚 Open vs Closed Weapon Playlists: What We Know
- Players now have two officially sanctioned options: one with Signature Weapons locked to class (Closed), and the other with an Open Weapons system giving full flexibility.
- EA and DICE are testing both styles based on community feedback during the beta.
🎯 What This Means for Battlefield Fans
- Traditionalists can enjoy a more classic Battlefield feel, where classes serve distinct roles.
- Flexible players can stick with open loadouts.
- The beta’s engagement metrics may influence the final balance between these two systems at launch.
🏁 Final Thoughts
While hidden, the class-locked weapon playlist is a major nod to Battlefield’s roots. It gives players genuine choice between modern flexibility and the classic feel—and fan reception could shape the game’s final launch setup.
