The Battlefield 6 open beta has taken the gaming world by storm, as hundreds of thousands of players have queued up to trade shots, blow up buildings and rack up killstreaks.
The final beta period is in full swing: It began on Thursday, Aug. 14 and goes through Sunday, Aug. 17, so you'll want to join the playtest now if you want to experience the next era of Battlefield chaos before the full release on Oct. 10.
Familiar maps and modes are making a return, as players play tug-of-war in Rush sectors and capture flags in Conquest -- this weekend, you can even battle across the wartorn streets of New York City with a new map pool update.
If you join the playtest now, you'll have a chance to earn exclusive rewards that won't be available to players that didn't join the open beta. There are a number of challenges to complete and some of them require a substantial time investment, so the sooner you get started, the better. Here are the free cosmetic rewards attached to the Battlefield 6 open beta.

Every open beta weekend 1 challenge reward
When the Battlefield 6 open beta first launched on Aug. 9, players got their first chance at earning exclusive cosmetics that will be added to their accounts when the game is released in full on Oct. 10.
If you missed the first open beta weekend, you're in luck: The first set of challenges are still available during the current open beta period, so you still have time to earn these rewards before they disappear forever.
Here are all of the cosmetic rewards introduced during Battlefield 6's first open beta period, as well as the challenges you need to complete in order to unlock them.
