While DICE has already commented on how operator skins in Battlefield 6 will be “grounded” and stay true to the franchise, it’s hard to believe that until we see the real thing. We’ve reported on some of the leaks about it weeks ago, but now, we have something much more tangible.
When Battlefield 6 releases this October 10, it’ll come in two variants: the Standard and the Phantom editions. The latter will feature exclusive items that will try to justify its added price, and one of the big draws is a set of exclusive skins.
These skins will be for each class in the game, meaning the Phantom Edition of BF6 will feature four exclusive skins, one for each class. Not only do we get our complete look at the Phantom Edition-exclusive skins, but a lot of other stuff that were unearthed as well.
Battlefield 6 Phantom Edition Skins Is Good News for Those Tired of Silly Cosmetics
The first image in the gallery is the Phantom Editions skins, while the others have been unearthed by the 1BF leaker group in the latest build of Battlefield Labs. In case you didn’t know, BF Labs was recently updated, adding new weapons, gadgets, and more.
In comparison, here’s a look at the skins exclusive to the Vault Edition of Black Ops 7:
Regardless if you’re a Battlefield or Call of Duty fan, it’s hard to make an argument that the Black Ops 7 skins look better. However, if robotic soldiers is your jam, then more power to you.
Personally, I am liking what we’re seeing so far with BF6’s direction for cosmetics. There are no clown skins or anything too loud, and it still manages to provide a sense of individuality. Even the outfits with the masks don’t feel forced or cringe-worthy.
I’m really hoping publisher Electronic Arts doesn’t interfere with the skins, as that might. lead to a Call of Duty-like disaster. As with any datamined content and information, treat it with a pinch of salt for now. There is a chance that the skins you see are placeholder, past designs that were cut, and might not even see the light of day.
Speaking of skins, in case you didn’t know, DICE has updated Battlefield 2042 to feature a free Battle Pass that includes cosmetics players can earn for use in Battlefield 6, and yes it includes character skins.
In related Battlefield 6 news, DICE has released their first feedback from the BF6 Open Beta, and confirmed movement will be nerfed, among other things.
