- Primary Subject: Battlefield 6
- Key Update: Season 2 weapons are spread across three waves and tied to the branching Battle Pass system
- Status: Live (Extreme Measures active; Nightfall and Hunter/Prey rolling out)
- Last Verified: February 19, 2026
- Quick Answer: Complete the Recruit Track (50 tokens) first, then focus one themed track at a time to unlock each weapon efficiently — all gameplay items are free.
Battlefield 6 Season 2 doesn’t dump all its content at once. Instead, it’s structured across three waves: Extreme Measures (live now), Nightfall (mid-season), and Hunter/Prey (final update).
Each phase introduces new weapons, gadgets, and attachments, and while everything gameplay-related is free to unlock, you’ll need to understand how the Battle Pass track system works to get them efficiently.
Here’s a complete breakdown of every Season 2 weapon and the exact path to unlocking them.
How Do You Unlock Weapons in Battlefield 6 Season 2?
All launch weapons and gadgets are tied to the Season 2 Battle Pass, but you do not need to buy the paid version to earn them.
The premium pass only provides XP boosts (10% for Standard, 15% for Pro) and faster cosmetic progression — not exclusive gameplay items.
Season 2 uses a branching track system:
- You must complete the Recruit Track first, which requires 50 Battle Pass tokens.
- Once Recruit is finished, you can choose which themed track to progress (Death Stalkers, Steel Talon, Woodland Rangers, or Hazardous Front).
- Each track contains a specific weapon or gadget at a fixed level.
- You can freely swap between tracks after unlocking them.
If you’re aiming to unlock every Season 2 weapon as efficiently as possible, start by completing the Recruit track right away, since it’s required before progressing through the other branches.
Once that’s done, commit to leveling one weapon track at a time instead of spreading your tokens across multiple paths, as focused progression gets you to each unlock faster.
Performing well in matches is crucial because high-XP games advance the Battle Pass faster than Weekly Challenges alone, though using both together is the most efficient strategy.
As the season progresses, you can also let unfinished Weekly Challenges stack up and then complete several at once for a significant tier boost.
While it’s possible to spend Battlefield Coins to skip levels instantly, steady gameplay and smart challenge management will allow you to unlock everything without spending extra money.
Extreme Measures Weapons (Launch Content)
The first phase of Season 2 introduces three primary weapons and two new class gadgets.
GRT-CPS DMR
Track: Death Stalkers
Unlock Level: 14
The GRT-CPS is built for players who prefer sustained precision rather than high burst damage. It fires faster than most DMRs and maintains strong accuracy out of the box.
However, its per-shot damage is slightly lower, meaning you’ll need consistent follow-up shots to secure eliminations.
Its ability to support larger magazines makes it effective for mid-range pressure rather than quick picks. Best for those who rely on timing and control rather than heavy-hitting shots.
M121 A2 LMG
Track: Steel Talon
Unlock Level: 17
This LMG leans into aggressive suppression. It delivers a high rate of fire and strong damage output but comes with heavy recoil and slower reload speeds.
Controlling its kick is essential, especially in extended engagements. It performs best while defending objectives or delivering sustained firepower, though it needs a steady hand.
VCR-2 Assault Rifle
Track: Woodland Rangers
Unlock Level: 22
The VCR-2 sits somewhere between an assault rifle and an SMG. It fires extremely quickly and performs best in tight corridors and interior fights.
While it deals respectable damage for its fire rate, recoil becomes more noticeable during longer bursts.
If you enjoy close-range aggression but want more versatility than a pure SMG, this is your weapon.
Extreme Measures Gadgets
Season 2 also expands tactical utility with two new class-specific tools.
9K38 IGLA Launcher (Engineer)
Track: Recruit
Unlock Level: 5
This anti-air launcher requires active tracking instead of simple lock-and-fire mechanics.
You must maintain aim on the target, but in exchange, the missile can reacquire vehicles if countermeasures break the initial lock.
It demands more focus but rewards skilled Engineers with greater reliability against aircraft.
HTI-MK2 Hardware Suppression System (Recon)
Track: Hazardous Front
Unlock Level: 21
This tool functions as an electronic jammer, detecting enemy gear through walls while also intercepting missile threats.
Unlike traditional Recon tools, it actively disrupts enemy tech, making it ideal for players who prefer countering gadgets over merely spotting threats.
Nightfall Update (Mid-Season)
The Nightfall phase introduces two additional weapons and several new attachments.
Unlike the launch weapons, these are expected to be tied to limited-time events or in-game seasonal challenges rather than specific Battle Pass tiers.
CZ3A1 SMG
A returning weapon known for extreme close-quarters dominance.
With a fire rate exceeding 1,000 RPM, it shreds at short range but becomes difficult to manage during sustained fire. It favors aggressive flanking and interior combat.
VZ.61 Sidearm
This compact machine pistol trades accuracy for a higher rate of fire.
It’s not meant for mid-range duels but serves as a panic weapon when caught reloading or pushing tight angles.
New Attachments (Nightfall)
Seasonal challenges will unlock:
- A combined flashlight and laser underbarrel module
- A hybrid optic capable of switching between red dot and thermal vision
- These attachments improve flexibility instead of increasing base damage.
Hunter/Prey Update (Final Drop)
The final Season 2 phase adds one confirmed weapon:
KAPOK 14" Machete
This melee weapon drops in April, and although the exact unlock requirements haven’t been confirmed, it’s expected to be tied to a seasonal event or a limited-time challenge.
As of now, no additional firearms are confirmed for this final update.
Season 2 is structured around a long-term release cadence, providing consistent milestones instead of a one-time content drop.
Whether you prefer mid-range DMR precision, heavy LMG suppression, high-speed assault rifles, or gadget-based counterplay, this season offers meaningful additions to nearly every playstyle.
