My last quote tweet on this, I promise.
A community member of mine tried the mode and went 80-5: they earned 4000 weapon XP.
So really, this mode is for:
- completing the busted challenges easier, which DICE have said they will be fixing in the future, and
- for people who want an “easy mode” experience.
Neither of those are really a bad thing. One is a bandaid fix to a larger problem, and the other is a gameplay style choice. I STAND by the fact that it should not be the “priority” mode in the menus, new or not, as it is already having a felt impact on lower population regions.
And in general, it is NOT an effective weapon attachment farming mode. You are likely to earn far more progress towards your weapon attachments by just playing regular ole Breakthrough.
Anyways, as I said. My last tweet on this I think

Introducing: Casual Breakthrough
We understand that sometimes you want to jump into Battlefield but without the intensity of a full PvP lobby. To create a more relaxed way to play while still earning progression and completing challenges, we’re introducing Casual Breakthrough and this new mode is now live in the main menu under the Multiplayer tab.
Here’s what you can expect from Casual Breakthrough:
-Smaller player teams: 16 real players (8 per team) with 32 bot teammates/enemies (16 per team)
-Progression: Earn Career XP, Weapon XP, Battle Pass XP, and complete Challenges
-Balanced XP: Full XP from real player actions, reduced XP from bot actions
-Maps: The initial maps available in this mode are Siege of Cairo and Empire State
What Casual Breakthrough won’t offer:
-Dogtags & Accolades
-Career stat updates
Let us know what you think of the new mode. We’ll be monitoring your feedback to determine if further adjustments are needed in the future. We’ll see you there on the Battlefield!
