The introduction of driveable tanks in Battlefield RedSec, the new Battle Royale mode for Battlefield 6, has fundamentally changed the dynamics of Fort Lyndon. These armored mammoths offer squads an unparalleled advantage, dramatically increasing your odds of securing victory. Capable of carrying up to four players and equipped with blistering firepower, a tank can annihilate enemy teams and withstand everything short of heavy explosives.In a game mode where survival is the ultimate goal, acquiring a tank can be the difference between life and death. However, unlike standard vehicles, tanks are not readily available; they are locked behind specific in-match objectives. Mastering the process of obtaining this armored beast is essential for any squad aiming for a consistent path to victory.Here is the definitive pathway to acquiring a tank and unleashing its power in Battlefield RedSec.

Battlefield RedSec: How To Get Tanks

The Target on Your Back: Why Tanks Matter

A tank is essentially a mobile fortress. Its presence on the map immediately shifts the balance of power.
  • Dominant Firepower: The tank’s main cannon and anti-infantry weapons can annihilate enemies and smaller vehicles instantly.
  • Armored Exterior: The sheer level of armor means that standard weapons (assault rifles, SMGs, etc.) present in the general loot pool can barely scratch its hull. Only dedicated anti-vehicle launchers can inflict meaningful damage.
  • Vulnerability: Despite their strength, tanks are vulnerable to Air Strikes and Artillery, which can severely disrupt your movement or force you to bail out. Knowing this risk is key to tactical movement.
Acquiring a tank paints a target on your back, but the power it grants is almost always worth the risk.

Phase 1: Securing the Vehicle Keycard

The process of obtaining a tank begins not with a vehicle, but with a piece of digital loot: the Vehicle Keycard. Tanks, unlike regular vehicles that spawn freely, are specifically locked and require this keycard for activation.

Three Means to Obtain a Keycard

Vehicle Keycards can be acquired through three primary methods in Fort Lyndon, ranging from guaranteed to rare:

  • Completing Missions (The Guaranteed Method): This is by far the most reliable way to secure a keycard.

    • Check the Missions Menu: Before selecting an objective at a contract station, ensure you check the reward section in the Missions menu. Select missions that explicitly offer a Vehicle Keycard as a reward.
    • Loot the Crate: Upon successful completion of the contract, a Rewards Crate will drop at your location. Loot this crate to gain the Vehicle Keycard.
  • Looting Enemy Corpses: Keycards can be found in the inventory of eliminated enemy players. If a rival squad was working on a tank mission, they might be carrying thecard. The chances of this are slim, but always worth checking.
  • Loot Chests (Sporadic Chance): Occasionally, a Vehicle Keycard can be found randomly within high-tier loot chests scattered across the map.
  • Pro Tip: Always prioritize missions that guarantee the Vehicle Keycard. Relyingon random chest spawns or enemy loot is unreliable and wastes valuablematch time. The goal is certainty.

    Phase 2: Unlocking and Deploying the Tank

    With the Vehicle Keycard secured, the final step is to insert it into a Vehicle Trailer to access your tank.

    Locating the Vehicle Trailer

    Vehicle Trailers, which serve as the activation points for tanks, are spreadacross Fort Lyndon. They are typically found in or near the map's mostactive areas.

    • Check Key POIs: Focus your search around major Points of Interest (POIs), as these are high-value areas where trailers are most likely to be located. Good starting areas include:

      • Chemical Storage
      • Defense Nexus
      • Gold Course
    • The Map Ping: When you are in the vicinity of a Vehicle Trailer, a map ping or distinct icon will appear on your screen and HUD, guiding you directly to the location.
    • Interaction: Head to the marked location and interact with the Vehicle Trailer. The keycard will unlock the doors, granting your squad immediate access to your own armored killing machine.

    Once inside, coordinate with your squad members to ensure all four positions are manned—Driver, Gunner, and two passengers—to maximize both thetank's offensive power and the protection it offers. The power is nowyours. Use it wisely to secure the coveted victory in Battlefield RedSec.
