Battlefield 6 season 4 update: New weapons, aircraft and Top Gun crossover
Another addition is the return of two-seat fixed-wing jets, a feature not seen in the Battlefield series since Battlefield 2. The trailer showcases two aircraft: the F/A-18 Super Hornet and the F-14 Tomcat. The update expands the game’s arsenal with four new weapons, including the Interdictor sniper rifle. The addition of a second seat allows one player to pilot the aircraft while another operates onboard weapon systems.
The trailer offers the first look at the game’s naval combat, a feature that Battlefield Studios had previously confirmed for Season 4. Two new water vehicles will be added: the RCB-90 Patrol Boat, designed for combat, and the 7.7m NSW RHIB, a lighter transport boat. Season 4 will also introduce Tsuru Reef, a new map centred around naval combat. It will be the largest map in Battlefield 6, according to the studio.
A second map, Wake Island, is scheduled to arrive during the season’s second phase.
