Battlefield 6 Leaderboards Guide: Rank, Proximity Chat and HUD

Battlefield 6's Casino Heist update (Game Update 2.1.2.0) went live on November 10, and it brings a lot more than a new map. Leaderboards, a reworked Proximity Chat rollout, clearer REDSEC HUD text, and a batch of new weapon attachments all landed at once, and almost none of it is explained anywhere in the client beyond a single line in the official community update. Here's where to find each new system, how to turn it on, and what actually changed under the hood.

The patch deployed at 09:00 UTC on November 10 across every platform, with the new seasonal content and playlists unlocking three hours later at 12:00 UTC. If your Leaderboards tab looks empty or Casino Heist contracts aren't showing up yet, you're likely just ahead of that second wave.

01What's New in Battlefield 6's Casino Heist Update

The headline addition is European Casino, a new infantry-focused map built around a Las Vegas Strip resort: destructible shopfronts for improvised flanks, a close-quarters casino floor, sniper balconies, and a set of lazy-river trenches running through the back of the property. It's playable in Conquest and Escalation on Battlefield 6, and partially in REDSEC — the map itself isn't available in REDSEC's Battle Royale modes.

Alongside it, three new pieces of hardware join the arsenal: the NSW4 carbine, the ADS-17 6GHz Signal Jammer gadget, and the M142 MRAS mobile rocket vehicle. The team also added the M142 MRAS to Conquest on Area 51, Railway to Golmud, Operation Firestorm, and Mirak Valley, and expanded the Vegas Strip location to support Rush, Team Deathmatch, and Domination on top of its existing modes.

02How to Find and Use the New Leaderboards

Leaderboards are the biggest structural addition in 2.1.2.0, and the game doesn't point you to them directly. You'll need to open your Profile page and click the Ranked Badge to reach the Ranked Hub, where the new Leaderboard system lives.

Once you're in, there are a few filters worth knowing about before you go looking for your name:

How to Open and Filter the New Leaderboards

1. 1Go to your Profile page and click the Ranked Badge to open the new Leaderboard system.10 sec
2. 2Switch between the Career, Game Modes, and Classes tabs to see rankings for each.5 sec
3. 3Use the Seasonal Filter to view your standing for Season 5 onward instead of lifetime totals.5 sec
4. 4Toggle the Friends-Only filter to compare your rank directly against people on your friends list.5 sec
5. 5Scroll to the bottom of any leaderboard view — your row stays pinned there with your exact standing even outside the top ranks.5 sec

The Sticky Player Row is the detail most people will miss. Instead of scrolling an entire leaderboard looking for yourself, your row stays pinned to the bottom of the view no matter which category or season you're browsing, so you always know your overall standing even if you're nowhere near the top ranks.

03Proximity Chat and HUD Changes in REDSEC

Proximity Chat is expanding again. It launched in REDSEC's Battle Royale mode back in September, and this update brings it to Rapid Royale as well — REDSEC's faster, more aggressive Battle Royale variant set on Mirak Valley and the Las Vegas Strip. There's no separate toggle to hunt for; if Proximity Chat is already enabled in your audio settings, it now applies automatically in Rapid Royale matches too. If you'd rather not hear nearby squads, check your in-game Audio settings menu for the Proximity Chat option and turn it off there.

The update also tidies up REDSEC's HUD and objective text: timers are easier to read at a glance, zone and mission indicators are clearer, and Casual Battle Royale's Recommended Zone callouts got a pass for legibility. None of this needs to be switched on — it simply replaces the old HUD elements automatically after you update.

04New Weapon, Gadget and Vehicle Options to Set Up

The NSW4 carbine ships with subsonic ammunition equipped by default, which keeps your position hidden from audio-based detection, but you can swap in a Supersonic ammo attachment if you'd rather trade stealth for a flatter, faster round. It's worth checking the attachment screen before your first match with it, since the subsonic default plays very differently from every other carbine in the game.

The ADS-17 6GHz Signal Jammer is a Recon gadget that disrupts enemy minimaps, killfeeds, objective status readouts, and squad spotting within its radius — useful to deploy near a contested point before a push, since it blinds the enemy team's situational awareness rather than dealing damage. The M142 MRAS, meanwhile, is a lightweight mobile rocket artillery vehicle built for area denial; it rewards staying mobile between shots rather than parking in one spot, since its own radius makes it an easy target for the same kind of counter-battery fire it dishes out.

2.1.2.0 also adds a long list of new attachments across existing weapons: a DVO Low-Power Variable Optic (1.00x–6.00x) is now available on all carbines, the M44 gains several new scope options, and multiple platforms including the M277, PSR, M2010 ESR, B36A4, L85A3, SGX, M250, M433, RPK-74M, SVK-8.6 and M1014 pick up Rail Covers. If a weapon you use regularly feels like it's missing an optic you expected, it's worth a quick check of the attachment list — a lot of these slots are new as of today.

05Weapon Balance Changes That Affect Your Loadout

This patch also carries a real balance pass, not just new cosmetic options. The Mini Scout loses its guaranteed one-hit headshot kill beyond 150 meters — past that range it now deals 50 damage to the chest and roughly 33.5 to limbs, meaning three limb hits to down a target instead of one clean headshot. The SCW-10 picks up a new damage drop-off step at 55 meters and a damage floor past 75 meters, intentionally pulling it back toward a close-quarters role. The GRT-BC gets a faster base aim-down-sights speed and reworked barrel attachments to carve out its own niche between carbines and submachine guns, and the KTS100 MK8 has its deploy time and magazine attributes retuned to bring it in line with the RPKM and RPK-74M.

None of these changes require you to do anything in your settings menu, but if a gun in your loadout suddenly feels different after this patch, it's very likely one of the five reworked above rather than a bug.

06Casino Heist Event, DOUGH and the Free Trial Window

The Casino Heist event runs across both Battlefield 6 and REDSEC. Defeated enemies drop Contracts — extra in-match objectives like capturing a point, reviving a teammate, or exploring specific corners of European Casino — and completing them earns DOUGH, the event's limited-time currency. DOUGH converts into casino-themed cosmetics, weapon packages, vehicle skins, and Heist Mask soldier skins, and clearing every standard reward tier unlocks one final bonus challenge. Treat DOUGH as use-it-or-lose-it: it's tied to this event's reward track, so spend it down before Casino Heist ends rather than letting it sit unredeemed.

EA is also running a free trial from November 13–16, letting anyone jump into Conquest, Escalation, and the Casino Heist event without owning the full game (full REDSEC access and all game updates are required, and the usual live-service conditions apply). It's a good window to get friends into the new map before deciding whether to buy in.

07Portal, Custom Lobbies and the Upcoming Server Browser Test

Portal and custom lobby tools also got attention in this patch. Area 51, the Vegas Strip location, and the M142 MRAS are now all usable inside Portal, alongside new ScreenEffects and SoldierEffects parameters for anyone building custom modes — this is where you'll find the audio and visual effect toggles if you run your own community servers. Custom Lobby stability and Spectator Mode controls were both improved as well, which should cut down on the dropped connections some creators were seeing when hosting larger Portal experiments.

Separately from today's patch, EA confirmed it's rolling out a Server Browser Limited Public Scale Test shortly after the Casino Heist update ships. It's a stress test rather than a full launch — the goal is to validate server loads, live queue performance, and matchmaking backfill with real players before the feature goes out to everyone. If you don't see a server browser option in your menus yet, that's expected; EA says the full rollout follows once this test clears, and lays out the staged plan in its own Server Browser Coming Soon update.

The rest of the patch is mostly cleanup: clipping fixes on the Z84M, VCR-2, and MK24, corrected attachment point costs on several magazines, a fix to the M/60's 50-Round Loose Belt that was granting 150 rounds on spawn instead of the intended 250, and a wave of UI icon and description corrections across the Loadouts menu. None of these need any action from you — they apply automatically once you've downloaded 2.1.2.0.
