Hardcore is expected to be the toughest difficulty level in Battlefield 6 campaign

Following the trailer launch, several reliable sources shared rumors about what the single-player campaign would look like. Among these, @BFBulletin revealed information regarding the difficulty settings, which are said to appear in Battlefield 6’s single-player campaign mode.

Based on that leaked information, the developer is likely to introduce the highest difficulty level called "Hardcore" alongside three other difficulty settings in the upcoming Battlefield 6 campaign: Recruit, Regular, and Veteran. Here’s some information based on that leaked image on how these difficulty levels are expected to work:

Recruit: This difficulty is set for players who want to focus on the story.
Regular: This is for those who want a balanced combat experience.
Veteran: For experienced players who want some challenges.
Hardcore: For players who want maximum challenge with no revives, consider it an ultimate test.

While Hardcore mode was already there in Battlefield 5, it is said that the developers are adding an extra layer of difficulty in the upcoming Battlefield 6 by introducing a no-revival challenge. This means that throughout the campaign missions, players must not die.
