Progression Guide Covers Career, Hardware, and Mastery
Battlefield 6 runs three primary progression systems : Career Rank (1 to 50 with functional unlocks, then continues into Colonel tier for cosmetics), Hardware XP per primary, secondary, and vehicle (unlocking attachments and equipment), and Battle Pass XP at 1:1 with Career XP. Beyond rank 50, progression shifts to mastery via 228+ Badges across weapon and vehicle tiers (Bronze through Elite at ranks 10 to 50) and Accolade Dog Tags.
