Today marks the official launch of Redsec, a new free-to-play Battle Royale game that expands on the Battlefield franchise. This game introduces players to an exciting array of gameplay modes, including the core Battle Royale and the Gauntlet elimination mode, along with opportunities for community-created content.
Battle Royale Features
The Battle Royale mode features an Initiation playlist designed for newcomers. Players can partner up in Duos to eliminate enemies while managing resources and avoiding threats.
Key Characteristics of Battle Royale Initiation
- Map: A compact version of Fort Lyndon tailored for new players.
- Player limit: A maximum of 48 players, which includes bots.
- Learning-focused: Designed to help new players gain experience in a low-stakes environment.
Choosing Your Class
Players can select from several classes, each with unique abilities:
- Assault: Frontline fighter excelling in close to mid-range combat.
- Engineer: Supports vehicles and equipment, repairing and attacking as needed.
- Support: Provides healing and supplies to teammates.
- Recon: Gathers intelligence and neutralizes threats from afar.
Additionally, players can choose a Sidearm for personal defense during matches.
Gameplay Mechanics
Upon parachuting into Fort Lyndon, players designate a Squad Leader. When the leader jumps, teammates can either follow or drop independently. Players must gather essential gear, including weapons and armor from various crates scattered throughout the map.
Contract System and Objectives
Eliminating enemies remains the primary goal, but players can also complete Contracts to earn powerful items. Notifications for available Contracts will appear on your HUD, guiding your gameplay strategy.
Avoiding Hazards and Reviving Allies
Players must be cautious of the Circle of Death, which eliminates anyone caught within. Fortunately, the game offers a Second Chance mechanic allowing immediate redeployment for players upon death. Respawn Points also enable team members to revive allies during matches.
Survival Tips
New players should familiarize themselves with the map and their selected class to enhance their experience. Teamwork is crucial for survival, so staying close to teammates and sharing tactical insights is highly recommended.
Gauntlet Mode
In addition to Battle Royale, Redsec features the Gauntlet mode, where teams of four compete in a series of missions. This mode emphasizes teamwork and strategic objectives.
Quick Tips for Gauntlet Mode
- Watch the briefing: Understand the game mechanics before each operation.
- Focus on objectives: Prioritize actions that will earn your squad points.
- Communicate effectively: Use voice or text chats to plan and coordinate with teammates.
Embark on your journey in Redsec today and experience the dynamic battle landscapes of Fort Lyndon. Whether battling in Battle Royale or strategizing in Gauntlet, teamwork and skill are essential for victory.
