Battlefield 6 Update 1.4.1.0 Brings Naval Warfare on July 21

Battlefield 6 Update 1.4.1.0 will arrive on July 21, bringing Season 4: Pacific Front and naval warfare to the shooter. The update will become available across all platforms at 8:00 UTC, while the Season 4 content will unlock at 12:00 UTC, according to the official Steam announcement.

The new season will send squads into battles across land, air, and sea. Its main addition is Tsuru Reef, a large Pacific archipelago filled with luxury bungalows, tropical vegetation, cliffs, and open water. The map will support combined-arms combat, including naval vehicles and aircraft.

Water itself is getting a new gameplay system. The Dynamic Wave System will affect movement, visibility, and combat flow as waves move across the shoreline. Swimming is also receiving a broad overhaul, with updated animations and physics, improved resurfacing, and the ability to drag and revive squadmates in the water.

New Battlefield 6 content in Season 4

• RCB-90 Patrol Boat: A four-seat armored patrol boat built for coastal combat and flanking attacks.
• 7.7m NSW RHIB: A fast four-seat transport boat from REDSEC with a mounted machine gun.
• BROD 3: A compact carbine with a collapsible stock designed for close-range fighting.
• EF88: A bullpup assault rifle intended for mid- and long-range engagements.
• VSSM: A suppressed, full-auto designated marksman rifle that uses subsonic ammunition.

• 1P86 LPVO: A sight with manually switchable 1.50x and 4.50x magnification levels on supported weapons.

REDSEC will receive a new Ranked Battle Royale season, complete with a competitive leaderboard and permanent rewards. Naval warfare will also reach the Fort Lyndon marina. The Season 4 Battle Pass will offer themed paths containing weapons, weapon packages, soldier skins, XP boosts, and other rewards.

Players who purchase Battlefield Pro will receive instant unlocks, tier skips, an exclusive bonus path, a 5% XP boost, and more Season 4 rewards.
