October 22 Updated to reflect XP nerfs to Portal.
What are the best BF6 Portal experiences? Sometimes you want to take a bit of a breather from the forever war – several games of Breakthrough can do that to a person. Thankfully, Battlefield 6 has a few distractions for you, albeit a little hidden away. Battlefield Portal is a section of the main menu that hosts a wide range of user-created experiences, from the hardcore to the downright silly.
Players are still getting to grips with Battlefield 6, and we figure it’s going to be a long process before everything gets nailed down. Having the best BF6 guns in your inventory is one thing, but if you don’t know how to use them, then they’re essentially useless. Also, the more advanced flight maneuvers can be a nightmare to get your head around in a full server – you can see a new pilot from a mile off, for instance, as they’re usually airborne for about four seconds before careening into the side of the nearest cliffside. It’s tough out there.
Best BF6 Portal codes, XP farm, and bot lobby
Shipment 24/7
Code: YHAR
The description for this one reads: ‘Good old Shipment, you know what time it is.’ And we do know what time it is – it’s time to post up in a corner of this classic CoD map with an LMG and see how many kills we can rack up. Only offers Match Completion XP, but still a great time.
- Career XP: 150% Match Completion Bonus
- Other Progression: N/A
Hardcore Conquest
Code: X7SB
Perhaps the most Battlefield mode you can get in Battlefield 6, Hardcore Conquest is a mode with a limited HUD, closed weapon ruleset, and massively increased damage. Offers full XP and Mastery XP for weapons, so you can grind your unlocks on hard more, if you want.
- Career XP: 150% Match Completion Bonus
- Other Progression: N/A
Besieged
Code: X8XZ
A wave defence game mode that pits you and up to three other players against increasingly difficult waves of bots. You earn money by killing enemies, and can spend it on new weapons, gadgets, and even respawns. Much more difficult than it looks; bring friends.
- Career XP: 150% Match Completion Bonus
- Other Progression: N/A
Empire State Zombies
Code: XGS9
Similar to the above, only with a distinct Zombies flavor. Pack-a-Punch, wall buys, and even the Mystery Box are present here. Earn money by clearing waves of enemy AI and attempt to survive as best you can.
- Career XP: 150% Match Completion Bonus
- Other Progression: N/A
Friday Night Battlefield
Code: X7QA
Friday Night Battlefield is a tradition whereby every Friday, a new, custom Portal event is hosted on the homepage. As a siren call to get the squad online, this week’s challenge is called Conquest Chaos, a supercharged version of the classic Battlefield game mode.
- Career XP: 150% Match Completion Bonus
- Other Progression: N/A
The best BF6 Portal codes to practice flying
There are two excellent Portal experiences that we found, which give you the chance to practice flying without the risk of being flamed by your teammates. The best flying practice BF6 Portal experiences are:
Ace Pursuit
Code: X8XB
This Portal experience is perfect for those who want to get the feel for flying jets. A tight gully plays host to a race to the finish – tight corners and a ton of obstacles equip you with the skills needed to stay alive in a real fight.
- Career XP: 150% Match Completion Bonus
- Other Progression: N/A
Helicopters & Jets Practice
Code: 6GVY
Does what it says on the tin. The Helicopters & Jets Practice experience throws you into the Operation Firestorm map with a host of aerial vehicles to choose from. Other players in here can fire on you, but all damage is turned off, so you don’t have to worry about dying.
- Career XP: 150% Match Completion Bonus
- Other Progression: N/A
BF6 Portal XP nerf
Battlefield Studios recently made a change to Portal that altered every experience. All servers now show ‘Modified XP’, which essentially means that XP farms no longer exist, and even the official hardcore servers only offer the 150% match completion bonus. Portal experiences, at least for now, can only be considered ‘for fun’ or for practice.
The best part about BF6 Portal is that new experiences will be added all the time, so be sure to check back often to see which ones catch our eye. Check out our guides on the BF6 maps and the BF6 classes to get yourself up to speed before you jump into these niche game modes. Have you found a BF6 Portal experience that’s worthy of our list?
