Battlefield 6: Hardware 2XP closes Monday, here's what Tidal Strike brings

Hardware 2XP: final days

Battlefield 6's Hardware 2XP event is live, doubling XP earned on weapons and vehicles for every kill, assist, and gear-specific action with your preferred loadout. It's the fastest way to unlock attachments like thermal sights or IR countermeasures.

The event closes Monday, September 14 at 12:00 UTC.

Next up: Tidal Strike

That same Monday, EA publishes the patch notes for the Tidal Strike update, the final phase of Season 4: Naval Warfare. The update itself goes live the following day, Tuesday, September 15.
