The second phase of Season 3 kicked off last week, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/battlefield-6-season-3-mid-season-patch-bugs\">albeit with a large number of bugs and issues<\/a>, and the next one will arrive 30th June.<\/p>\n<p>This third and final stage, dubbed High-Value Target, will be released alongside a big patch, as expected. The new stuff part of this update includes the Wet Work event, which kicks off with its release.<\/p>\n<p>Wet Work is introducing what the developer calls a &#8220;contract-focused experience&#8221;, which will be available in traditional Battlefield 6 multiplayer, as well as the Redsec free-to-play portion.<\/p>\n<p>Contracts, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/Battlefield6\/comments\/1u98o14\/battlefield_6_community_update_whats_coming_in\/\">the blog post<\/a>, will be dropped by eliminated players. They can be picked up by anyone else, and will then trigger a mid-match objective for you to chase. Some of the examples given include killing enemies, looting chests in Redsec BR, capturing objectives or simply staying alive for a set period of time.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Battlefield 6 man with assault rifle.\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/assetsio.gnwcdn.com\/battlefield-6-best-guns-hero.jpg?width=2048&amp;height=2048&amp;fit=bounds&amp;quality=85&amp;format=jpg&amp;auto=webp\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1.7777777777777777\" width=\"1920\"><\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"Battlefield 6 man with assault rifle.\" data-autosize=\"crop_lossy\" data-lightbox data-uri=\"battlefield-6-best-guns-hero.jpg\" height=\"1080\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1.7777777777777777\" width=\"1920\"><figcaption><span class=\"attribution\">Image credit: <cite>EA \/ Battlefield Studios.<\/cite><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>If your brain has been rotted by playing too many multiplayer shooters, this concept may sound familiar.
