Battlefield 6 attempts to create a campaign difficulty scale that adapts to different players.
Unlike older titles, where solo play was secondary, this game includes four difficulty settings that affect missions.
Here’s a full breakdown, plus how those settings feel in action across the campaign’s nine missions.
What Are All the Single-Player Difficulty Levels in Battlefield 6?
Battlefield 6 offers four distinct difficulty settings that change the feel and flow of its nine-mission campaign. Here’s a clear look at each one:
- Recruit –The most forgiving difficulty, where foes deal light damage, shoot less accurately, and punish mistakes less. Great for story-focused play or newcomers.
- Regular – The balanced “default” setting bumps enemy accuracy and damage above Recruit, but the fight stays fair if you stay in cover and work with your squad.
- Veteran – Made for skilled FPS players, as enemies react quicker and hit harder. Requires careful use of cover and your squad’s gadgets.
- Hardcore – The highest difficulty with no revives, heavy enemy damage, and mission restarts after every death. Needs exact control, solid planning, and flawless delivery.
How Do Difficulty Levels Change the Way Missions Play Out?
Missions like the Normandy-style beach landing in Operation Gladius, the tense New York siege in No Sleep, and the open-ended assault in Operation Ember show how difficulty levels matter.
On easier settings, you can get away with experimenting, but higher levels punish sloppy play.
Developers have said they want players to feel creative, but also want them to respect cover and squad tactics.
Higher settings especially make good use of the squad order wheel, which lets you direct teammates to blow up objectives, scout enemy positions, or support your push.
The campaign lasts about six to ten hours over nine missions, so choosing Hardcore means playing carefully and avoiding mistakes the whole way, which is a big leap from the easier flow of Recruit or Regular.
