EA is testing a no-mercy Battle Royale mode for Battlefield 6

With over 5 lakh concurrent players on Steam for Battlefield 6 Beta at one point, it is clear that fans have got their hopes high for the next game in the war simulation franchise. And the good news is that it may get a Battle Royale mode too, as EA has started testing it.

The Battlefield 6 Battle Royale test is going to be a harsh lesson for those players who don’t respect the urgency and alertness it demands. How harsh, you may ask. In most of the Battle Royale modes witnessed in different games, including PUBG and Call of Duty, the safe zone started to shrink at one point, and you had to make a run to stay inside it. If you were caught outside the zone, your health started decreasing at a fast rate, and your speed slowed down, but you still had some chance of making it out alive. What the Battlefield 6 Battle Royale will do is remove that chance. If the shrinking circle just so much as touches you, you’re dead. It’s like that invisible ring of death that fries you instantly upon touch.
