Summary

jackfrags dives into Battlefield 6’s Season 3 update, highlighting a refreshed weapons lineup and a more robust vehicle balance. He notes new content including a Battle Pass, a new map named Railway, and several guns like the L115 sniper and the RPK, with the M16 upgraded via a level-15 full auto mod to the M16 A3. The video captures hands-on impressions from the live environment, where vehicle buffs and smoother weapon recall reshape how battles unfold. He also mentions a mid-season addition teased as an SMG called the PP coming later, and confirms that you can play through a single-player squad with Murphy, Lopez, Hemlock, and Gecko. Throughout, he tests the map’s verticality, destruction, and wide-open firefights, praising the colorful BF6 art direction and the dense, railroad-heavy terrain. A running gag is the C4-equipped golf cart moment, a whimsical example of how Season 3 injects humor into the chaos. He tries out new map interactions, like blowing holes in walls and chasing helicopters with bursts of rocket fire, and he compares the map’s scale and density to classic Battlefield experiences. The video ends with a personal verdict: Battlefield 6 feels like a

Key Takeaways

  • Season 3 introduces the Railway map to All Out Warfare modes such as Conquest, Escalation, and Breakthrough, with tank buffs and more maneuverable armor.
  • The L115 sniper returns as a fixture on the new map, with the L115 being tied to the recruit path and the M16 receiving an auto-mod in the full auto config (M16 A3).
  • The RPK appears as a long-range, low-recoil option suitable for sustained fire and control on bigger maps, while the L115 is noted for fast firing and iconic lineage from BF3-era weaponry.
  • Vehicle dynamics are improved in Season 3, with tanks tougher to disable and more capable on the battlefield, alongside enhanced helicopter play and new transport interactions (like the golf-cart C4 moment).
  • The update changes progression, expands weapon progression, and hints at a mid-season SMG (PP) not yet available in the early build.
  • Season 3's map design emphasizes color, density, and destruction—walls can be partially blown out and the map feels like a true, large-scale Battlefield experience.
  • Anecdotal moments (e.g., riding a helicopter, knocking out multiple enemies with C4 on a bike) demonstrate the chaotic, player-driven fun that defines BF6’s live-play appeal.

Did you ever think about the C4 golf cart today? It's going down. There's enemy tanks here, but I need one cam. Oh, there's one. If I can get that guy, that would be incredible. It's very slow though, isn't it? But it is epic. There he is. There he is. There he is. Watch out for the slams. It's like a little mini game this. Don't shoot. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on, come on. Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go. Detonate. Yes. 10 out of 10. Love it. Battlefield 6 season 3 has just gone live and I thought we'd jump in today and check out all the new stuff. So, we've got a new battle pass. We got the new map. We've got a few new guns, all that good stuff. And yeah, I just wanted to explore. There's been a few changes to the game as well. They've changed a lot of the recall. They've also buffed the vehicles. So, it's going to be interesting to see now it's in a live environment exactly how it plays. Thanks to EA for sponsoring this one today. Link is down below if you want to check out season 3. So, the recruit path is going to get you the L115 and then the M16. I think that's the end of this one here, Tiger Shark. That's a burst rifle. I was using that in the preview event. Really good. I don't know if they've changed it for this build of the game. And then the RPK is at the end of Warlords Hunters. Now, there was also a really cool skin that I saw here. This one, I think this might be a popular skin just cuz it's all black. Looks pretty sick. M16 is an assault rifle. Does it come with any attachments? But you can change it there. Look, level 15, you get the full auto mod for it. Turn it into the M16 A3. Check it out in the firing range. It feels good, man. I mean, I said this in my preview video yesterday. It might be a good burst rifle, and we don't often get those in Battlefield games. So, the L115, the new sniper. It's iconic. It's the Orc from Counterstrike, and we had this in previous Battlefield games. I think it was called the L96, then they renamed it. But my impression of this was that it fires very fast. Not sure what the sweet spot range is. I'll have to look that up. And then the RPK. This is the other new gun that you can get straight away. So, this just felt like really low recoil. Sustained damage. I think it's going to be a great longrange pick. Good for the longrange maps. Like the damage isn't that crazy on it, but yeah, it just it barely moves. It's going to be a really good gun for controller, I reckon. And then mid-season, we're going to get a new SMG, which is the PP, but it's not here yet. Sad times. No PP. You can play as the single player squad now. You got Murphy, Lopez, Hemlock, he's the weird guy, and then Gecko, right? Let's jump into a game then. So, they've added Railway to Goldmud, All Out Warfare. That's going to be Conquest, escalation, and breakthrough. I want to play Conquest, though. So, I'm going to do a custom search. And the reason for this is I want to go and check out that little Easter egg with the tank and the dog tag and see if you can actually pick it up. Now listen, it's like a remix of the the BF4 song for this map. That's dope, man. I like that a lot. Spawned up here at E. I think this is actually near that tank as well. There's an enemy tank right there. Yeah, tanks have had a big buff. They're a lot tankier now and more maneuverable and you can't disable them as easily. So, vehicle players, I think, are in for a good time with this update. And there's a golf cart in here, which is really random. Wonder what you can do with that. I love the poppies, man. The colors on this map. It's nice to see a map in BF6 that's actually colorful. It looks great. See, they're there. But you can't pick them up. What is it? It's like a little secret. I don't know what they're going to do with these. See, it just says John Doe. No preference. It's just your default dog tag, but you can't do anything with it. You can't destroy it. Can't pick it up. And this is a reference to that old viral video clip I showed you guys in the previous video. It's weird. You're definitely going to be able to do something with that squadmate just spawned on me. I bet he's like, "What the hell is this idiot doing over here?" Game's about halfway done. Oh, enemy tank. He's gone. Yeah, he's been Oh, top came off. Oh, man. Yeah, I know I'm hyping this gun up, but I really feel like it's good. And just having a good burst rifle in the game is cool. They've changed the progression as well, right? I think they've given you more weapon progression now, too. Okay. On the bike. Let's go. Yeah, this skin is dope, man. Look at that. Yeah, I like this skin a lot. Really cool. Helicopter. What the hell was that? Can we get some, mate? Enemy Hilo. Oh, no way. No freaking way. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. That was an incredible shot. Let's go. First RPG shot on a helicopter on the live map. Love that. This is crazy, man. This is a Battlefield map. Just really fun riding around on these bikes. I mean, I could ride I could go along the hole of the railway track. Yes. I need to put my double XP on, man. I always forget to do this. XP, XP, XP. Let's go. Oh, there's the AA vehicle. You're going to see a lot of that on this map. A vehicles camping. I don't think that'll ever change. Yeah. Taking off from the road, baby. I need to sort out my jet controls though. They've reset for some reason cuz you have to put pitch up on space bar and you can do really fast turns. There's still no jet loadouts unfortunately, but maybe we'll get those some point in the future. Think I've got the bomb here, don't I? That hit completely missed. Nice to have a map that you can actually fly around on though. Wow. Incoming missile. Let's boost that. You know, if you fly towards your base as well, if you've got a missile incoming. Whoa, we nearly got disabled. The anti-air at the base, you know, the cannon should actually shoot down the missile if you've run out of flares. Just a little tip for you. I mean, this looks like a giant single player level here. Feel like I'm playing Ace Combat flying around. Wow. Incredible. Transport hel. Hey, let's go. See you later, mate. I don't often fly in my videos. Hey, we got the win. Didn't get a full match there. We'll queue up again. Love this map though, man. It's so fun. Oh, look at that bloody jet fly over. Oh my god, that just looks cool. Yeah, the amount of vehicles on this map, too. Look at that. I don't know how many spawns there are. I bet there's actually more than that, you know. Come on, mate. Fly it off to victory. Let's go. This is my trusty steed here. Riding the leav. It's got some dice on the front. I like that. This area is beautiful, too. All the flags and the map set in Tajjikiststan this time rather than China. Look at my crosshair, too. Do you see that? The three dotted lines at the top. That's a quick way that you can see if you're in burst fire or full auto, but there's three. So, it's burst fire. And I think when it's full auto, it's a solid line. Yeah, I was going to look at the destruction, too. This is something that I noticed on the map. I think some of these walls, look at that. You can actually blow holes out of them. Now, I've not seen that on any other map. You know, please correct me if I'm wrong, but in this game at least, that level of more granular destruction. I don't think I've noticed it. There's going to be so many Easter eggs on this map, man. I saw in Squid's video there was a little dinosaur. I mean, this is a radio. There was a dinosaur on top of the on top of there. So, I might have to go up there and show you guys. I mean, even in burst fire, like that hit fire. Should it be that good? It's really good. The sound that jet just made. Jeez, the freshest hell. Oh, this place. N was pretty chill. I think it was this one here. So, you take over, mate. I'm sure it'll be fine. Let's see. It was on here. Fingers crossed I don't get sniped. Yeah, I see it. It's right there. Look, look. Little dino. That's the same model that they had in BF3 single player all that time ago. Adorable. He's looking over this way. I wonder if it's a clue. Charlie tank down there. Is that going to fire? That'd be interesting. Vehicle here. This is a great sniper spot right there. Let's go for that heli. We hit it. All right, mate. Special friend little bird here. Enemy helicopter. He's probably looking at the dinosaur like, "What the bloody hell is that?" Charlie, let's go for that. Come on, little bird. Chasing. We're chasing. You can capture the objective from here. Why can you capture the objective from here? That smoke from the tank there, too. That just crashed. Yeah, the smoke from the tank actually explodes C4 and it does slight damage to infantry that are around you. That's another buff. We got the helicopter. Go for this guy. They are tanky as hell now. Someone just jumped in my attack helicopter. Let's see if they're a good pilot or not. My missile going to hit? Should do fire. There. Oh, baby. Is he going to fly? I think he did. Good job. Oh my god, look at all those vehicles, dude. He's too high up though. It's going to take a hit there, I think. Oh, he dodged it. Did he actually dodge that missile? This map just feels like a big Battlefield map. Really? That's what the game needs. Oh, I got the engineer repairing it. Oh, look. Someone in the chat said, "Where's MLRS?" So, that was B in BF4. If you captured that objective, an artillery truck would spawn here. I don't often fly helicopters with randoms, so this is cool. Okay, he crashed. Rocket, rocket, rocket. Ah, I got you. Don't fire rockets at me, buddy. You just want the big kills, don't you? Oh, you got ruins. I didn't expect that. There's a new indicator there, too, for rockets. Pretty sick. We're going down. Oh, am I riding it? I've never done that before. I rode the helicopter there for a few seconds. There's so much more cover on the map, too. It's all built up now. They've really fleshed out. I do think it's an improvement actually on the original. You know, when you do remakes like this, it's always a little bit risky. You know that you mess it up, but I think they've done a great job with it. They're going to cross there. No need. Look at that. That's quick. They're capturing E. Another guy there. Oh, little bird. Divers. Jeez. Nope. That's going to ruin me. We lost control of someone repping it. No. He's going to run me over. It's fine. It's fine. It's absolute abject chaos. It's fine. Okay, that was a crazy little kill streak. Am I going to get a res here from the coffee devourer? That's me. Oh no. Thank you. A WHY A tank turned up. Man, when you're this high up, you really get the sense of scale on the map. Can you fire that? Oh, you can. Is that going to go all the way down, though? Oh, cuz you can't laser guide it, can you? I mean, that was close. It wasn't far It's a huge map. I didn't explore all the way back here in the capture event in the preview. What if there's something hidden here? What could it be? The enemy is close to victory. I need everyone on the just throw a smiley face for someone. I'd be like, make my own Easter egg. There's a little shack here. That's interesting. What's this about? It's got to be something, right? Easter egg. We've neutralized echo. There's going to be something hidden in Maybe not. I mean, you can go all the way up here. You could do some Wait, you could do some proper longrange sniping on this map. I've got to do a video on that, don't I? Just full sender long-range snipes. Well, there it is. We got smashed that time. We try an escalation. Didn't they drop ranked battle royale, too? Ranked battle royale quads. I might play a few rounds of that, but not today. I don't really have a squad to play it with, though. Okay, custom search. When's that silver browser coming? Dice, come on. Let's get the L115 on. Should I get some C4 on a bike? It'd be rude not to, wouldn't it? Really? Off we go. All right, mate. Yeah, give me some support. Oh, they're taking G. I wonder if there's a tank on this. There might be infantry there. Is he the Oh, no. There's one more here somewhere. But where? There's a guy in a dumpster. All right, mate. It's cool that you can capture it from here. That objective's gone. Okay, so we got the first set. I don't know where that guy is. Oh, the dumpster guy just killed him. Good. Right, back on the bike. I'm going to go up on the railway. Look at that. Love that animation. I am a train. All right, mate. God, what the That's not how physics work. What did I Was that the track? Oh my god. Maybe it was. All right. Where are the vehicles at? There's A on B. What is that? Ah, okay. The track is deadly. I didn't really check out this area in the preview event. The factory. There's two big warehouses. I need to explore that a little bit. Right. Vehicle. Vehicle. Okay. Okay, there's a traverser there. Oh my god. No, no, not today. I'll go for the traverser. They're quick though, so I've got to be careful about this. And there's a helicopter flying above. Uh, okay. He's here. And Blammo. That was too easy. Oh no. Enemy Did that guy spot me? I creep up on him. You think 4C4 will do it? One, two, three, four, and yes, we got a triple. Why was there a random guy right there? That was a bit sneaky beaky on the tank there, though. That was good. Uhoh, I can hear loads of footsteps. Another guy. Scorpion. I was not expecting to get that kill. I'm being totally honest with you. Not at all. We're losing this though. There's somebody here. Ruined. Wait, three people. No, I don't have ammo. They're all on the train. Need a medic. Supreme leader, please. He's dead. They're like rats just coming out of the sewer. If you take the D objective, too, you get access to an extra little bird. That was in the original map, too. They're actually putting some attention to detail in now. Good. Oh my god. Is this a good pilot? Watch out for the trees, mate. I feel like this guy is practicing. Can I get C? I'm going to go for C. Why not? I've got teammates here. Yeah, the zipline's great here as well. Cross that massive gap. I remember playing this map on Rush in B4. And there was a huge gap you had to cross. There it was always quite difficult. Go around here. It looks like we've got air dominance right now, which is good. A little hole in the wall. That's cheeky. No one up there. One person on the point. Seven of us. Oh, he's there. I got enemy inside. Did he spot me? No, he's dead. What the? That Ragd doll went crazy. It's so fun to just drive around on this maping around on a bike. I mean, I'm taking it. Unless there's C4 on it, we should be all right. There's enemies on the point somewhere. Go right there. Jeez. Were you the one that fired at me? Uh-oh. Get out. Get out. Get out. Keep. That's fine. That's a building. Let's not Let's not do that. I'm sorry. I hope you had insurance. I'm sure that you did. I just see someone. Oh, look at this guy Okay, I know what that dude was doing. Maybe he was after a golf buggy. You never know, huh? Smashed. More infantry here. I do love flying the little bird man. So good. Oh my god, that building again. There it is. There it is. There it is. All you got to do is shoot me, lads. All right, I'm out. Oh, very expensive day at work. I'm dead. I think the less that we say about that, the better. There's a chance we could win this, you know, if we just hold on. Are they trying to take E back from us? Go underneath me. Another one. Is there another guy there? Hey, this Scorpion is a bit crazy. There's someone else on the objective over here. Okay, around the corner. Did they buff this gun? Oh no, that was literally my last bullet. That is ridiculous. I do feel like the the footsteps are a bit better too cuz they've done some improvements there. He's dead. THAT'S FINE. NO, THEY GOT THE WIN. Never mind. That was a great game. thoroughly enjoyed that. Yeah, DICE have absolutely cooked with this map. It's a proper Battlefield map. It feels that way. Two thumbs up from me, man. Good stuff. Anyways, drop a like, guys. I hope you enjoyed the video. Let me know your thoughts below if you played season 3. Link is down in the description and pin comment if you want to check it out. Thanks again to EA. But look at this here. Am I going crazy? Is this Morse code in this random barn on the new map? I think that could be Morse code cuz the other lights are not blinking like that. And it looks like there's dots and dashes there. What does it mean? Very mysterious, right? Anyway, drop a like, guys. Thank you. I'm off. See you next time.
