Season 3 for Battlefield 6 kicks off on May 12, but there is more in store beyond that first update. Battlefield Studios shared a look at the Season 3 roadmap for Battlefield 6, offering a look at the content coming later in the season.
On June 9, Season 3 expands with the addition of another new map, Cairo Bazaar. It will also be the date that a new mode, Obliteration, is launched. Fans of Battlefield 4 may recognize this particular game mode.
The iconic BF4 multiplayer experience returns with a new epic evolution. Obliteration is a battle to destroy enemy M-COMs (Military Communications) using bombs placed neutrally on each map. Both sides must risk everything to get the bomb, escort their carrier to the detonation site, and obliterate the enemy.
Jam the enemy signal. The Handheld Jammer is a Recon Gadget that disrupts nearby smart/electronic devices for a short period of time. Once activated, it can either be thrown - or placed - in an area to provide localized malfunctions, or carried around to turn a Recon soldier into a mobile nuisance.
#00 Buckshot
Double-aught buckshot is similar to the standard shot in every Battlefield 6 and REDSEC shotgun, albeit with slightly larger pellets and less pellets per shot. If you rather not shoot a single slug, but still want more range and less spread than regular buckshot, then #00 is your #1 ammunition choice to spend those Attachment Points on.
Cryogenic Barrels
When state-of-the-art cryogenic technology meets a hard steel barrel, it creates a temperature barrier that helps a weapon better withstand standard operating friction and combustion. In other words, Cryogenic Barrels are tempered for better accuracy over sustained fire without being heavier than the factory standard version, which grants soldiers faster aim down sight times compared to using a heavier barrel.

On this same day, a Casual Battle Royale mode will be added. This mode will feature a mix of player and bot combatants.
The Engineer will be able to make use of an EOD Bot Arm melee weapon. It seems like this will just be a melee weapon used by your character and not something actually attach to the EOD bot itself.
Two additional attachments are also being added in this final Season 3 update: Compensator and Subsonic Ammo.
Compensator
Slotting in with other muzzle attachments, the Compensator is similar to the Flash Compensator attachment from Season 2 Hunter / Prey, albeit without its flash hiding feature.
Subsonic Ammo
Stay under the radar with a new ammunition type: travelling just below the speed of sound, Subsonic Ammo is noticeably softer when fired, which reduces spot visibility and audible cues that enemies typically pick up on at longer ranges.
