Battlefield's new free-to-play battle royale mode REDSEC has taken over the gaming lexicon today, and FPS fans everywhere are quickly finding out that it is true to the franchise.
It just wouldn't be a Battlefield game without vehicles, and REDSEC has plenty of them. One vehicle that can be acquired through in-game tasks, however, is a literal tank. And when it comes to facing off in the final circle of the match, you'd best come prepared with the equipment to deal with it.
Former Call of Duty pro and streamer Scump and his squad found out the hard way that tanks are acquirable in REDSEC as they came face-to-face with multiple armored vehicles in the final moments of a match today. They were a tad underprepared, though, and it did not go well for them.
Tanks in REDSEC (or Battlefield 6) can be countered, but only if you have the right equipment to take them down. The Engineer class, for example, has a perk that will allow you to deal 50 percent more damage to vehicles, making tanks a breeze to deal with if you have a rocket.
When you spawn into a match of REDSEC, you have a pistol and some passive perks, but not much else. The rest is up to you to find, and as Scump and co. found out, you may want to have at least one squad member running Engineer or, at the very least, carrying a rocket in case you come across a tank or two in the match's waning moments.
This sort of thing puts me off what REDSEC is offering, but Battlefield players in the replies have been very quick to point out all of the ways that tanks can be countered. Still, though, a freakin' tank in a small circle surrounded by fire? And if you don't have the means to deal with it, you're just screwed? Bummer.
The REDSEC clips and highlights will be coming fast and hard over the next few days as gamers hop into the Battlefield BR experience, so this likely won't be the last moment like this popping up on social media.
