Battlefield 6 Gauntlet mode leaks: Mission types

As per the dataminer, the following mission formats will be available in the Gauntlet mode:

• Vendetta: Squads need to take out marked enemies in hostile squads or survive as a high-value target to earn points.
• Wreckage: Squads must pick up bombs and blow up M-COMs. Fuse will start as soon as bombs are picked up.
• Circuit: Squads need to acquire and hold down nodes (like in Chain Link). Controlled nodes will automatically spot hostiles.
• Contract: Squads must track down and eliminate enemy teams. This will be squad-deploy-only, and a wipe results in elimination.
• Heist: Squads must capture intel caches from the hostile HQ. Carriers will always be marked for enemies.
• Extraction: Squads must retrieve data drives and deliver them to drones for extraction. These drones can be rigged as traps to ambush targets.
• Deadlock: Squads must secure and hold specific zones or split up and capture multiple zones.
• Decryption: Squads must secure and decrypt beacons. Sprinting will pause the decryption process.

Modifiers in Battlefield 6 Gauntlet mode

As per the leaker, this mode's missions will be selected arbitrarily and placed at randomized locations throughout the BR map of BF6. There will also be modifiers in this game mode, and players will be able to check if a mission carries point modifiers to give them bonus amounts.

Sudden Elimination is one such modifier, where you will be eliminated if your squad gets wiped. Another one, called Point Multiplier, can double your points earned during the last minute of the mission.
