New modes are to expected, including a new 6v6 mode called VIP Escort and a new category called Fireteams in which “10 teams of four face off against one another in large-scale maps featuring an assortment of vehicles to commandeer and objectives to complete as you best see fit.” One mode from this new category, Dirty Bombs, will feature in the upcoming beta. As a cross-gen and cross-play title, players from across systems and generations will be able to play with their friends. Post-launch multiplayer maps and modes will be free for everyone and the game will have a unified progression journey shared with Warzone, with inventory items that can be used in both titles.
