A recent leak discloses unexpectedly sophisticated weaponry in Battle Royale.
Battlefield 6 genuinely aims to be a realistic military shooter. Standard weapons, vehicles, and soldier uniforms are designed to provide a believable representation of contemporary conflict.
Nonetheless, this may not be the case for Battle Royale, which, based on insider intel, is slated for a free-to-play expansion post-launch – the first leaked gameplay footage from the Battle Royale map was just unveiled.
It appears that advanced military technology is also in the works!
## Orbital Firepower
As the notable and trustworthy data miner Temporyal reported on Twitter, BF6’s Battle Royale will include the so-called **Strike Packages**, which players can call in (once) and utilize once they have secured them (presumably by finishing specific missions or similar tasks during the match).

Temporyal emphasizes two features in particular:
– **Kinetic Strike:** An effective orbital strike; this prototype apparatus fires a projectile from significant altitudes that can decimate structures – accurate, but without a broad blast radius.
– **Power Weapons:** Highly potent experimental firearms that can be acquired and utilized temporarily by players – these might include a minigun or even a railgun, for instance.
Pictures of what the futuristic weapons from BF6 may look like are already being shared on Reddit:

This kind of futuristic weaponry has appeared in Battlefield previously, such as in the Final Stand DLC for Battlefield 4, which introduced a hover tank and a Gauss cannon.
Reassuring news for those who lean towards a more realistic multiplayer experience: according to Temporyal, these gadgets will likely be confined to BR mode.
The leak indicates additional potential Strike Packs might include:
– Airstrike with F16 fighter jets
– Deployment of an anti-tank crate (featuring a Javelin missile launcher)
– Artillery bombardment
– Redeploy unit (for resurrecting teammates)
– Aerial surveillance drone (UAV)
– Smoke bombs for creating a smoke screen
– Supply crates drop (ammunition)
– Custom weapons drop (loadout drop)
This implies that pre-configured loadouts with your preferred weapons (and attachments) can also be summoned, similar to what is seen in CoD Warzone, for example. However, the specifics of how the class system and class gadgets will function in Battle Royale remain unclear.
