Part 3

Learn how to become a squad leader in Battlefield 6, understand attack and defend orders, and master the general and class progression systems for faster XP gains and unlocks.

This section covers how to become a squad leader, the importance of issuing orders, and the progression systems in Battlefield 6.

Becoming a Squad Leader:

1. Leave and Create Squad: Open the squad menu (Square/X from respawn screen), select 'Leave Squad' then 'Create Squad'. Set to 'public' for others to join.
2. Request Order: Use the commo-rose (R1/RB) and select 'Request Order'. After 60 seconds of no orders from the current leader, you'll be promoted (BF1 Hardline feature).
3. Voice Command: If using a mic, ask the current leader to promote you via squad chat.

Issuing Orders:

• Attack Order: Place on a neutral or enemy-held objective. Completed when your team captures it.
• Defend Order: Place on a friendly objective. Completed if your team holds it for one minute.

Orders grant XP bonuses and can be completed regardless of squad members' presence. Monitor objectives and proactively issue orders.

General Progression:

• XP is earned through kills and actions, contributing to your overall multiplayer rank.
• Your progress is shown on the Soldier tab (main menu) and Personal tab (end-of-round screen), including estimated time to next rank based on score per minute (SPM).
• The original level cap was rank 100, requiring 20 million XP.

Warbonds:

• Earned by leveling up your general multiplayer rank.
• You receive 90 warbonds per level-up from rank 2 to rank 6, totaling 450 needed for the 'Warbonds' trophy/achievement (requires 55,000 XP to reach rank 6).
• Primary weapons cost 200 warbonds, sidearms 150, and gadgets/grenades 60.
• Warbonds stop being awarded after rank 70, as you'll have enough for all base game unlocks.

Corporal Trophy/Achievement:

• Reach Rank 10 in multiplayer.
• Requires a total of 145,000 XP (55,000 for rank 6 + 90,000 for ranks 7-10).

Class Progression:

• There are four infantry classes: Medic, Assault, Support, and Scout.
• Tanker, Pilot, Cavalry, and Elite classes also have separate ranks.
• XP earned while using a class contributes to its individual rank.
• Class choice can be overridden when spawning directly into specific vehicles or onto a horse.
