A recent datamine published by Insider Gaming suggests Battlefield 6’s multiplayer files include references to six additional game modes. The entries appear in the game’s multiplayer code and name modes such as Raid, Payload, Sabotage, Squad Shootout, Strikepoint, and TankHunt. The files use the project codename Glacier, which has appeared in earlier datamines. For further reading on related finds, see our coverage of naval combat datamines here.
Datamined mode strings
- Game/GlacierMP/Gamemodes/Raid/Mode/MUT_Raid
- Game/GlacierMP/Gamemodes/Payload/Mode/MUT_Payload
- Game/GlacierMP/Gamemodes/Sabotage/Mode/MUT_Sabotage
- Game/GlacierMP/Gamemodes/SquadShootout/Mode/MUT_SquadShootout
- Game/GlacierMP/Gamemodes/Strikepoint/Mode/MUT_Strikepoint
- Game/GlacierMP/Gamemodes/TankHunt/Mode/MUT_TankHunt
Two of those modes, Strikepoint and Sabotage, have already been tied to the game’s Season 1 timetable. Strikepoint is scheduled to arrive on October 28 with Season 1: Rogue Ops, and Sabotage is listed for November 18 as part of Season 1: California Resistance. EA has not confirmed the remaining four modes.
Files inside a game can include placeholders, prototypes, or remnants of systems under development. These strings don’t guarantee a public release, but they do suggest the team has at least sketched out additional match types. If they appear in future updates, players should expect different objectives and match flow compared with Conquest or Rush.
Battlefield 6 launched with several core modes, and the presence of these extra entries could expand how rounds play out over future seasons. Leave which mode you’d like most in the comments below, some of these names read like they could change how a match feels.
