All new features and content in Battlefield 6 open beta second week
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.

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.

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.

Despite Geetanjali's manipulations, Maira chooses Abhira as her dance partner for a national competition. Their performance culminates in a near accident, prompting Maira to call Abhira 'Mumma' for the first time. The ongoing storyline of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai has been focusing on the face-off between Abhira and Geetanjali over little Maira. While Abhira wants nothing more than to spend time with her daughter, Geetanjali has been doing everything she can to keep them apart. From manipulating situations to trying to turn Maira against her mother, Geetanjali has done everything. Recently, Maira agreed to stay with Abhira, but not without conditions. Geetanjali gave her one month to 'prove herself' as a mother all while secretly plotting against her. Abhira soon discovered one of Geetanjali's tricks when she found a phone hidden in Maira's bag, to monitor and control her. In the current episode, Maira expressed her wish to participate in a national dance competition. Initially, she chose Geetanjali as her partner. But on Armaan's suggestion, she gave both Abhira and Geetanjali a chance to prove themselves. The dance-off ended with Abhira winning, securing the spot to perform alongside her daughter. Armaan later joined them for the final performance, turning it into a family act. The performance itself was beautiful but the real twist came right after. As the trio took their final pose, a bulb hanging above them suddenly burst. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like They Were So Beautiful Before; Now Look At Them; Number 10 Will Shock You Reportingly Undo Before it could harm them, Abhira quickly pushed Armaan out of the way and held Maira close.

The moment was enough to make Abhira forget her injury. Watching from backstage, Geetanjali's expression turned from shock to clear disappointment. The competition ended with Maira and Abhira being declared as the winners. Maira proudly lifted the trophy with her mother and ran to tell Armaan about their victory. Armaan overjoyed, picked Maira up and hugged Abhira, creating a beautiful family moment after seven years filled with smiles and joy. Meanwhile, Anshuman congratulated them, calling 'AbhiMaan' a great jodi. His comment, however, left both Abhira and Armaan a little unsettled. Leaving viewers to wonder whether Anshuman's words came from his heart, hoping for their reunion, or if he was trying to taunt them.
