I’ve been diving deep into the Battlefield 6 Open Beta, and let me tell you – the rewards system is absolutely stacked! With two action-packed weekends of beta testing ahead (August 9-10 and August 14-17), DICE and EA are showering players with exclusive cosmetics and gameplay items that’ll carry over to the full game launch on October 10.

If you’re anything like me and love collecting exclusive gear, you’ll want to know exactly what’s up for grabs and how to snag every single reward before they disappear forever. I’ve compiled everything you need to know about the Battlefield 6 Open Beta rewards, including both in-game challenges and Twitch Drops.

Quick Overview: All Battlefield 6 Beta Rewards at a Glance

Before I dive into the details, here’s what you can earn during the Battlefield 6 Open Beta:

Reward Type	Weekend 1 (Aug 9-10)	Weekend 2 (Aug 14-17)	Twitch Drops
Total Items	7 rewards	3 rewards	4 rewards
Availability	Weekend 1 only	Weekend 2 only	Both weekends
Requirements	Complete challenges	Complete challenges	Watch streams

Weekend 1 Rewards (August 9-10): The Main Event

The first beta weekend is where the bulk of rewards are waiting. I’ve tested out the progression system, and here’s exactly what you need to do:

Character and Cosmetic Rewards

1. Lights Out Player Card Background

Requirement: Reach Level 10
My Take: This dark-themed player card looks absolutely sick in the pre-game lobbies

2. Rising Star Soldier Skin

Requirement: Reach Level 15
Details: A sleek military outfit that makes you stand out on the battlefield

3. Night Terror Weapon Charm

Requirement: Reach Level 20
Pro Tip: This charm works on all weapons and adds that extra intimidation factor

Class-Specific Challenges

Here’s where things get interesting – you’ll need to master each class to unlock these exclusive items:

4. Seeker Soldier Skin

Class: Recon
Requirement: Spot 300 enemies
Strategy: Use the spotting scope gadget and play longer-range maps like Liberation Peak

5. Dominion Weapon Package

Class: Assault
Requirement: Get 50 Close Quarter Kills
Best Maps: Siege of Cairo’s tight corridors are perfect for this

6. Own the Night Weapon Sticker

Class: Support
Requirement: Revive 100 teammates
Tips: Stick with your squad and prioritize those revives!

7. After Dark Weapon Sticker

Class: Engineer
Requirement: Repair 3000 health to vehicles
Method: Follow tanks with your repair tool – it adds up fast

Weekend 2 Rewards (August 14-17): The Final Push

The second weekend offers fewer rewards but they’re all focused on objective play:

1. War Machine Vehicle Skin

Requirement: Capture 42 flags in Conquest, Domination, or King of the Hill
My Experience: This skin looks incredible on tanks and LAVs

2. Bat Company Dog Tag

Requirement: Get 200 kills or assists
Difficulty: Easy – you’ll get this naturally while playing

3. Striking Distance Weapon Package

Requirement: Capture 10 sectors in Breakthrough or Rush
Note: Rush mode is only available during Weekend 2

Twitch Drops: Watch and Earn

I love that DICE is rewarding viewers too! Here’s how to claim all four Twitch Drop rewards:

Available Twitch Drops

Mimic Weapon Package – Watch for 1 hour
Landslide Soldier Skin – Watch for 2 hours
Shattered Vehicle Skin – Watch for 3 hours
Imperial Soldier Skin – Watch for 4 hours

How to Enable Twitch Drops

Link Your Accounts: Head to EA’s Twitch linking page
Connect EA and Twitch: Make sure both accounts are properly linked
Find Eligible Streams: Look for “Drops Enabled” tags in the Battlefield 6 category
Watch and Claim: Progress tracks automatically – claim rewards in your Twitch inventory

Pro Tip: You can watch multiple streams simultaneously in different tabs, but only one counts toward progress.

Important Things to Know

Rewards Are Time-Limited

This is crucial – you cannot earn Weekend 1 rewards during Weekend 2. Each weekend’s challenges are exclusive to that timeframe. If you miss out, they’re gone forever. I learned this the hard way with previous Battlefield betas!

Early Access Players Take Note

If you’re jumping in during the August 7-8 early access period (through Battlefield Labs or Twitch Drops), you won’t be able to make progress on in-game challenges. However, you can still earn Twitch Drops during this time.

When Do Rewards Unlock?

All rewards will be granted when Battlefield 6 launches on October 10, 2026. They’ll automatically appear in your inventory – no need to claim them manually.

My Strategy for Maximizing Rewards in March 2026

Based on my experience with the beta, here’s my recommended approach:

Focus on Leveling First: Hit Level 20 as quickly as possible to unlock the first three rewards
Rotate Classes: Don’t main one class – you need all four for the full reward set
Play Objective Modes: Conquest and Breakthrough give the most XP and help with multiple challenges
Stream in the Background: Set up Twitch on a second monitor or device while playing

Finding Squad Mates

I’ve found the Discord community incredibly helpful for finding teammates. The LFG (Looking for Group) channels are always active during beta weekends.

Why These Battlefield 6 Rewards Matter in 2026?

These beta rewards aren’t just cosmetics – they’re badges of honor. When Battlefield 6 launches in October, players will immediately recognize beta participants by their exclusive gear. I still rock my Battlefield 3 beta dog tags years later!

Plus, with no way to purchase or unlock these items after the beta ends, they’ll become increasingly rare as time goes on. Trust me, you don’t want to miss out on these limited-time collectibles.

Final Tips for Success

Don’t Wait: Start playing as soon as the beta opens – you’ll need time to complete all challenges
Squad Up: Playing with friends makes revive and teamwork challenges much easier
Check Progress: Monitor your challenge progress in the main menu
Multiple Platforms: If you have access to multiple platforms, progress is separate – more chances for rewards!

Conclusion

The Battlefield 6 Open Beta rewards system is one of the most generous I’ve seen from DICE. With 14 total items up for grabs across in-game challenges and Twitch Drops, there’s plenty of exclusive content to earn before the October 10 launch.

Remember, these rewards are only available during the beta weekends – once they’re gone, they’re gone forever. So jump into the action on August 9-10 and 14-17, complete those challenges, and watch those Twitch streams to ensure you don’t miss out on any of this exclusive gear.

I’ll see you on the battlefield, soldier – and I’ll definitely notice if you’re rocking those beta-exclusive skins!
