In Battlefield Redsec’s Battle Royale, the Traverser Mark 2, also known as the Marauder, has proven to be too powerful, thanks to its armor and turret. That’s why Battlefield Labs is removing the Marauder from Battle Royale and replacing it with other transport vehicles.
Battlefield Labs made the announcement in a brief update, which explained that the decision came down to player feedback and the team’s internal metrics. However, the Marauder could return in a future update. The dev team noted that it’s looking into adjustments that would allow that to happen without running into the same issues again.
Last month, Battlefield 6 and Redsec Season 2 launched with over 200 game improvements and quality-of-life changes. It also included new maps, weapons, and additional vehicles. However, producer Phil Girette recently acknowledged that the delay between Season 1 and Season 2 hurt Battlefield 6’s momentum.
More recently, Battlefield 6 producer Alexia Christofi addressed fan demand for more maps at a faster pace, but she added that Battlefield Labs remains focused on quality over speed.
“We’re releasing on a cadence where we feel the maps are up to quality and we’re happy with how they play, the variety they give to the players,” said Christofi. “There are worlds in which we release hundreds of maps, but they’re not fun. We never want to do that. We have to make sure that the maps feel good to play, that they’re fun to play.”
