All difficulties in Battlefield 6 Campaign, and which one should you choose?

The Battlefield 6 Campaign is officially available to play now, and you may be wondering how many difficulty options it offers, and which one you should select. After almost seven years, a dedicated Campaign mode has returned to Battlefield, but it isn't too long and can be completed within a few hours, possibly in one session.

Choosing the right difficulty option will enhance your gameplay experience and can also affect how long you take to complete the narrative-focused, single-player mode.

This article cover all the difficulty levels in the Battlefield 6 Campaign, providing details about each option to help you decide which one to choose.

Battlefield 6 Campaign: All available difficulties explored

The Battlefield 6 Campaign has four difficulty options to choose from. Below are the options, along with their in-game descriptions:

• Recruit: For players who want to focus on the story.
• Regular: For players who want a balanced combat experience.
• Veteran: For experienced players who want a challenge.
• Hardcore: For players who want maximum challenge with no revives. This is the ultimate test.

You now have an idea of what the different difficulty options offer. If you are new to the FPS genre and just want to enjoy the narrative without facing challenging enemies, Recruit is the best choice for you. It lets you have a relaxed, laid-back gameplay experience.

If you want a balanced experience, where enemies are tougher and provide some challenge, go for Regular. This is the option most players choose for their first playthrough.

For those who want tougher enemies and even more challenging combat, the Veteran difficulty is recommended.

Hardcore is the most challenging difficulty option and will test your limits. In this mode, AI enemies are at their toughest, and you won’t have the Revive option. On the other three difficulties, when you get knocked down, your teammates can revive you; two revives are available per mission. Hardcore removes this special feature entirely.

Don’t worry too much about choosing a difficulty, as the developers have added an option that lets you change your selection at any point during your gameplay. This will allow you experiment and see which difficulty suits you best.

If you select the Regular option and play the game without hunting for collectibles, you can complete the Campaign within four to five hours. However, as you choose higher difficulty options, the challenge increases, and it takes more time to finish the story. Note that if you enjoy exploring every corner and want to collect all 30 collectibles, you may need twice as much time.
