The Battlefield 6 open beta is back up and running for its second and final weekend, and while it does indeed afford players the ability to dabble in a playlist with class-locked weapons, it’s not immediately obvious. There is just one “closed” weapon playlist in the open beta currently, and it’s not visible when you boot up the game. You need to scroll over to the right to find it.
The playlist is called “Closed Weapon All-Out Warfare.” The description reads, “Experience the same large-scale battle of Conquest or Breakthrough with the addition of class-locked weapons.” As that description alludes to, this playlist does not feature the new mode for Weekend 2, Rush.
The closed weapon setup will feel familiar to people who played older Battlefield games, where weapons are locked to specific classes instead of being available to all players. Battlefield 2042 did away with this, allowing people to freely pick and choose the weapons they wanted, irrespective of their class, as part of the controversial Specialist setup. Some portion of the audience didn’t enjoy this, while others embraced this expanded freedom.
