As expected, the new Battlefield 6 update today, April 14, brings the game to version 1.000.018 on consoles. This is for game version 1.2.3.0, and this brings new content in the form of a new mode called Operation Augur, new weapons and a lot more.
Aside from the new content, there are also a slew of gameplay improvements and bug fixes, which will take a long time to sift through given how in-depth everything is.
For the complete info on Operation Augur, as well as the patch notes, read on.
Battlefield 6 Operation Augur Mode Details
Operation Augur puts you in the boots of either a NATO Battalion soldier or Pax Armata defender. Before diving into the stakes of this narrative-forward 48-soldier experience, these are the key similarities between Operation Augur and Operations from previous Battlefield games:
Mode Details
Similar to Battlefield 6’s Breakthrough mode, Operation Augur is a sector-by-sector battle: the Attackers – NATO – secure each sector from the Defenders – Pax Armata – by holding one or multiple control points at the same time.
Whereas Breakthrough takes place on one map, Operation Augur strings together Contaminated and Hagental Base, creating nine total sectors to attack or defend. In Contaminated specifically, a VL-7 Strike occurs once a sector is captured, save for the fifth sector before Operation Augur transitions to Hagental Base. Furthermore, unlike Breakthrough, teams are unable to respawn on controlled objectives; you must rely on squad spawns, spawn-enabled vehicles, and the Assault Class’ Spawn Beacons if you don’t want to take the trek from Headquarters back to the objective after each death.
Just like Operations in the past, Attackers have three “Batallions” of lives in Operation Augur, rather than a single pool of lives. The first two times a Battalion’s lives are completely depleted, a new Battalion reinforces at the furthest checkpoint reached. Specific to Contaminated, a reinforcement Battalion will also receive additional vehicle reinforcements to help them push towards Hagental Base.
Operation Augur ends when Pax Armata successfully depletes all three NATO Battalions, or if NATO captures all nine sectors.
A complete breakdown of the mode can be found on EA’s blog.

Defibrillators
Dev Note: This update brings a meaningful balance pass to the Defibrillator, aimed at improving game flow and overall combat pacing while keeping revives impactful and rewarding. After reviewing its behavior over the past few months, we found it was too easy to revive multiple teammates in quick succession with minimal risk. Our goal is to preserve those clutch moments where you can get your squad back on their feet quickly, while encouraging more deliberate use.
To support this, the Defibrillator now uses a charge system (similar to earlier Battlefield titles), starting with 3 charges that allow for a few rapid revives before needing to recharge. Revive health scales with charge time: 50% instantly, up to 100% when fully charged, with smooth steps in between. A new UI indicator shows your charge progress to help you time revives effectively.
In addition, the health given with the charge duration can also be dealt as damage against enemies. This means that you can once again kill a player in one zap, if you’ve charged the defibrillator fully.
PSA from your teammate that has been waiting to be revived for the past 10 seconds: Please fully charge your defibrillator!
Here are all of the details around what changes with the Defibrillator this update:
- Added a progress crosshair UI while charging.
- Damage now scales from 50 to 100 based on charge level, in 10-point increments.
- Fixed cases where downed soldiers could not be revived when pressed into corners or when lying on stairs.
- Full charge time has been increased to 1 second from 0.65 seconds.
- Fully charged shocks now deal 100 damage again, up from 60.
- Now use 3 charges that regenerate over time, with 1 charge restored every 4 seconds.
- Now requires a 0.35 second charge before a revive can be performed.
- The rate of fire is slightly reduced.
- Revives now restore between 50 and 100 health based on charge level, in 10-point increments.
- Updated deploy timing so charging can begin faster after selecting the gadget.
WEAPONS:
- Added the Ripper 14” Machete melee weapon as a part of the Hunter/Prey Battlepass Progression.
- Hollow Point and Synthetic Tip ammunition now cost less on most weapons.
- Range Finder now plays sound cues when a range check starts and when it completes.
- Corrected an issue on the CZ3A1 where throwing grenades while it was equipped could introduce a delay before the grenade was thrown.
- Corrected an issue on the DB-12 where certain attachments did not animate correctly during pump-action and reloads.
- Tweaked and retuned DB-12 animation tags to smooth transitions into and out of aiming down sights.
- Fixed camera recoil being lower than intended on the TH-RDS 1.00x optic attachment.
- The DRS-TH optic now appears correctly on the B36A4 and SVDM.
- Tweaked and retuned M87A1 animation values to smooth transitions into and out of reloads while aiming down sights.
- Corrected an issue where aiming sideways when using melee weapons could cause missing yaw rotation while a melee weapon was equipped.
- Corrected an issue where the Violet Laser was not providing its intended benefit when attached to the NVO-228E Assault Rifle.
PROGRESSION:
Dev note: One recurring point of feedback has been that Weapon Mastery progression can feel too dependent on kills and assists. Players who spend a match repairing vehicles or supporting their squad are still contributing in meaningful ways, but that contribution has not always been reflected clearly in progression.
To address that, we’ve added a time-based component to Weapon Mastery progression. Players will now continue earning progress through active use, even when they are not regularly securing kills or assists. XP earned from kills and assists is unchanged, making this an increase to the overall earn rate rather than a reduction or replacement of existing rewards.
- Added a new progression system that awards Weapon XP and Vehicle XP for use, alongside kills and assists.
- Adjusted XP earn rates across Multiplayer modes by roughly 5% to 10% to bring them closer in line with one another.
- Corrected the tracking for challenges so that damage by stationary aim-guided missiles now counts toward explosive damage criteria where intended.

- Corrected an issue where weekly free-to-play challenges and missions tagged with “All Modes” now unlock and track properly for eligible players.
- Improved Red Bull challenge setup so “In Gauntlet: RB Supermoto, Capture Red Checkpoints as a squad.” uses the correct tag, “Earn Score while driving land vehicles, counts for double if gained in Gauntlet: RB Supermoto” now tracks and doubles correctly, that “Get total airtime in seconds using the ATV, Motorcycle or Light Infantry Vehicle.” now supports all intended Light Transport vehicles, and the F-97 Kestrel now uses its player-facing name instead of a dev-facing one.
