The second Battlefield 6 open beta weekend is now live. This weekend is open to everyone, just like the second half of last weekend's beta. Battlefield Studios did make a few changes for this weekend's test and they shared what those changes are in a blog post that went up last night.
First off, the team made some adjustments to playlists. This weekend will feature "more variety and choice" with playlists rotating between multiple different game modes. As an example, they say that All-Out-Warfare playlist will include Breakthrough, Conquest, and Rush. They say that including this rotation will help them to understand what the community enjoys playing most and will allow the team to know which modes to keep available most often.
Next up for this weekend is an entirely new feature: Custom Search.
Custom Search will let you filter out for specific maps and modes. The example they offer is: If you want to play Conquest on Siege of Cairo, then matchmaking will prioritize putting you in a match with this combo.
Battlefield Studios say that during this open beta, Custom Search will only be available for the Open Weapon mode playlist.
