Battlefield 6 Season 4, titled Pacific Front, kicked off on July 21, 2026, introducing naval combat with the new Tsuru Reef map and two water vehicles: the RCB-90 Patrol Boat and RHIB light transport boat [1, 2, 3]. Four weapons also arrived in early phases: the Bren 3 Carbine, EF88 Assault Rifle, VSSM DMR with full-auto mode, and Desert Tech HTI sniper rifle, noted as the longest-range sniper in the game [1, 2].
On August 11, Phase Two of Season 4 launched with the highly anticipated Top Gun crossover, adding a remake of the Wake Island map featuring two aircraft carriers [1, 3]. This phase also introduced two two-seater jets—the F-14 Tomcat (named F-74A Seacat in-game) and the F/A-18F Super Hornet (F/A-81F Super Spectre)—marking the first two-seater jets in Battlefield since 2005’s Battlefield 2 [1, 2, 3].
The Carrier Assault mode returned as Carrier Strike, a limited-time mode where teams battle to sink opponents’ aircraft carriers using land, air, and sea forces. The mode is set in the Top Gun universe and features film characters with original voiceovers [1, 2, 3]. A new Top Gun-themed mission, Fighter Sweep, became available via the free-to-play Gauntlet mode, focusing on aerial combat in the two-seater jets [1, 3].
Iconic Top Gun characters Rooster, Bob Floyd, and Warlock were added to the game with original actors providing full voiceovers [2]. Miles Teller, who voices Rooster, said, "It’s a huge honor to appear in a long-running franchise like Battlefield with its millions of fans, and talented people working on it. And with Top Gun, it’s like two titans meeting" [2].
Alongside these updates, Battlefield REDSEC—the standalone free-to-play battle royale mode—received new content, including a ranked mode and balance changes aligned with Season 4 enhancements [2].
Season 4 continues to evolve Battlefield 6, which launched on October 10, 2025, and sold over 7 million copies in its first three days [2].
