8 Players vs. 16 Bots
The core feature of Casual Breakthrough is its reduced player count, which sees two teams of 50 lineup with 8 players and 16 bots per side. Despite reducing the number of real players, the inclusion of bots filling the teams means the mode will retain the large-scale feel of Battlefield 6.

Players can earn progress on their career, weapon, and battle pass XP while also completing challenges. Killing players will reward full XP, while killing bots will reduce the XP awarded.
