All new features and content in Battlefield 6 open beta second week
Image via Electronic Arts. After a successful early access period and the first week of the open beta phase, Battlefield 6 is on a roll right now. Starting from August 7 to 10, the beta phase boasted over a whopping half-a-million million players. And this feat becomes more impressive when it's realized that this is just the PC users. Now, as we are approaching the second week of the Battlefield 6 open beta, it is expected that the player-count is going to reach newer heights, breaking more records. And for that, EA is leaving no stones unturned as the company has planned to bring more content in the second stint of the beta phase. Everything new that is coming to Battlefield 6 open beta second week Battlefield 6 open beta second week will introduce a lot of new features, gamemodes, and a map. | Image via Electronic Arts. After the disastrous display from Battlefield 2042, bringing back fans of this long-standing franchise to Battlefield 6 was the main job of EA. After the first phase of the open beta, it seems the job is more than done. But the developers aren't stopping there, because more brand new content is slated to be featured in the second phase of the open beta. Here are they: New Modes As leaked a month earlier , the popular Rush mode will be back this time. Just like in Counter-Strike and Valorant, there will be two teams where the defenders will stop the attackers from destroying the pairs of military communication channels named M-COM stations with explosives. Failing to stop the bomb from exploding or letting the stations get destroyed would reduce the limited numbers of respawn cards given per phase. Along with it, everyone's favorite Squad Deathmatch mode will be there where four teams will get face-to-face to reach the elimination goal. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 20 Legendary Cars from the Past Undo Not only that, a new form of the popular Breakthrough mode will be available as well, where players can only equip class-specific weapons. New Map A new map called Empire State will join the flurry in the second phase of the open beta of Battlefield 6. This map is set in the streets of Brooklyn and will be infantry-focused. New Rewards Following the seven challenges in the first weekend of the open beta, the second week will also feature three challenges. Completing these challenges will again grant high-value rewards, which will be carried forward to players' inventory when the game gets fully released on October 10, just like the previous weekend's rewards. Here are the new challenges and the rewards: Challenges Reward Capture 42 flags in Domination, Conquest, or King of the Hill War Machine Vehicle Skin Get 200 kills or assists Bat Company Dog Tag Capture 10 sectors in Rush or Breakthrough Striking Distance Weapon Package This is it for all the new content that is coming to the second weekend of Battlefield 6. Along with these new elements, previous content like the three maps, the previous game modes like Conquest, Domination, etc. will all be there. Battlefield 6 open beta second weekend begins on August 14, 2025 at 4 AM ET and will run until August 17 at 4 AM ET. Unlike the first phase, there will be no early-access option for the players. So, everyone can hop it around that given time. However, you might need to uninstall Valorant before playing the second phase of Battlefield 6 open beta.

Why do people need to uninstall Valorant in order to play Battlefield 6?
Image via Electronic Arts It didn't take long for the hackers to invade the Battlefield 6 beta in its first weekend. However, EA showed that they came prepared, as the anti-cheat system of the upcoming game, Javelin, thrashed over 300k cheating attempts on the spot. Seeing the capability of this anti-cheat software, fans have already started dreaming about a cleaner gameplay experience when the game finally gets released on October 10. However, Valorant fans might not be able to live up to this dream, at least for now. The tussle between Valorant's Vanguard and Battlefield 6's Javelin In the list of anti-cheat software in video games, Riot Games' Vanguard is placed at a high spot due to its reputation for catching cheaters and hackers more quickly than most of its contemporaries. With regular updates from Riot, Vanguard has made their lives much easier for the fans of Valorant. But you might need to uninstall this game if you want to play the Battlefield 6 beta on PC. Many fans have complained that a dialogue box appeared on their systems directly asking them to uninstall Valorant because of it, and Battlefield 6 beta failed to start, citing a 'general software incompatibility' issue. Now, the main reason behind this conflict is the respective anti-cheat software of both games. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Play this game for 1 minute and see why everyone is addicted. Undo As both of them are kernel-level software, they require deep system access. That is why either of the systems is perceiving the other one as a security violation. Not only that, but many reports also suggest that forcefully activating both Javelin and Vanguard together led to hard reboots, which indicated severe system-level clashes between the two programs. Not only Javelin or Vanguard, but the majority of the popular gaming developers have opted to choose kernel-level anti-cheat software, like Ricochet in Call of Duty Black Ops 6 and Warzone, BattlEye in PUBG, EAC in Fortnite, and many more. Now, as these software have in-depth access to your system, these conflicting issues are quite evident. Not only that, but this kind of software can also make systems vulnerable and put user data at risk. It's quite sure that EA will soon bring a fix to this issue, and players won't have this problem at launch. But this small dialogue box can be an indication of how much bigger the concern can become in terms of kernel-level anti-cheat systems in video games in the near future.

Jessica Radcliffe viral video: Creepy recording of orcas imitating human speech leave people terrified
Viral videos that purpotedly show a female orca trainer being killed by a killer whale at an aquatic park have spread like wildfire across social media. The viral clips began making rounds on social media platforms like TikTok, X, and Facebook in recent weeks, and claim to show a 23-year-old marine trainer named Jessica Radcliffe being gruesomely attacked and killed by an orca whale in the middle of a live performance at the 'Pacific Blue Marine Park.' But several outlets have since claimed to identify that the videos and images are AI-generated. So, was orca trainer Jessica Radcliffe really killed by a killer whale? What is the truth behind the viral video of marine trainer Jessica Radcliffe?

Check final hours, BF6 beta ending time, exclusive rewards and more Jessica Radcliffe viral video Days after a clip went viral on TikTok allegedly showing Jessica Radcliffe, a whale trainer, being killed by an orca during a performance in front of a live audience, it turns out the entire episode was a hoax. In fact, no official records, news reports or credible sources show that Radcliffe even existed. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Undo Moreover, there is no proof that the attack even took place and the video is AI-generated. Experts examined the footage and, according to the International Business Times, found that it featured AI-generated voices combined with archival footage. What are orcas? As the viral video of Jessica Radcliffe started doing rounds on social media, focus has now turned to orcas, also known as killer whales. Orcas are the largest of the dolphins and one of the world's most powerful predators. Live Events ALSO READ: George Russell fate revealed in The Gilded Age Season 3: Check plot hints, episode details and more They're immediately recognizable by their distinctive black-and-white coloring. Smart and social, orcas make a wide variety of communicative sounds, and each pod has distinctive noises that its members will recognize even at a distance. They use echolocation to communicate and hunt, making sounds that travel underwater until they encounter objects, then bounce back, revealing their location, size, and shape, according to National Geographic. Orcas are highly intelligent and are not known for attacking humans. When the killer whales are captured or kept in smaller tanks, they become stressed and attack seafarers. So, whenever a killer whale gets captured, it becomes a threat to humans. However, looking at the recent trends, researchers are studying orcas that are purposefully attacking vessels, sailboats and sometimes ships as well. They often use a coordinated hunting strategy, working as a team like a pack of wolves. ALSO READ: Can Trump invoke a federal takeover of Washington DC? Legal hurdles stand in US President's way Can Orcas mimick human words? A 2018 study showed that orcas are intelligent creatures with the ability to mimic human language with uncanny accuracy. In the recordings by a 14-year-old female orca called Wikie, the public seems to be surprised yet simultaneously drawn in by an otherworldly sense. Published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B, the study revealed that Wikie was taught to replicate familiar sounds made by her calf. Later, she was introduced to five new orca sounds she had never heard before. In the final phase, Wikie was exposed to six human sounds, including "hello," "Amy," "ah ha," "one, two," and "bye-bye." ALSO READ: Is recession coming in US? Expert gives stark warning on high popularity of Labubus And in a surprising turn of events, Wikie was successful in mimicking these human sounds on her first try which left the researchers astounded. "We wanted to see if we could make them replicate sounds outside their natural repertoire. 'Hello' is not something a killer whale would typically say," explained Josep Call, a co-author of the study and professor at the University of St. Andrews. The study also highlighted the remarkable vocal adaptability of orcas, despite their anatomical differences from humans. Orca whales lack vocal cords, which are similar to those in humans. However, they can still produce sounds that are close to human speech. Listeners have been left unnerved by the recordings, with one viewer commenting: "The hello sounded demonic.' And another joked: "OK, that second hello was a little demonic. Was that really an orca, or the Devil speaking through a ghost box LOL The funniest and scariest thing EVER! That's my day, can't stop laughing my head off lol." But as demonic as the recordings might sound, other viewers have pointed out just how amazing it is to hear the whale mimic humans. "This makes me tear up, the fact that we live in a such a beautiful world filled with wonderful creatures," one person wrote.
