Battlefield 6 is getting gas reminiscent of Battlefield 1, but the game’s producer says its for strategic depth rather than to damage players — ‘It plays with visibility. It plays a little bit with perception as well’

• Battlefield 6 producer Phil Girette says the new Battlefield 1 style gas won’t damage players but instead offer new tactical ways to play
• He adds that the team made changes to how gas works and wants players to “be a little bit more technical and strategic”
• Associate producer Kit Eklof says the team wanted to “change the things that the players didn’t like about the previous iteration of gas”

Battlefield 6 Season 2 has officially begun, introducing a map with a toxic gas similar to the poison gas in Battlefield 1. However, according to producer Phil Girette and associate producer Kit Eklof, the gas will act much differently by offering tactical ways to play this time around.

When asked what the main focus is for Season 2, Girette told TechRadar Gaming that it’s “mostly delivering the bread and butter of the game”, which includes the new maps, weapons, vehicles, and Battle Pass, but also presents a “fresh spin” on toxic gas.
