Every Battlefield 6 Mission Revealed — And How Long the Campaign Really Takes
Is Dagger 1-3 a weekend sprint or a marathon? Here’s how long the campaign really takes—from critical path to 100 percent—and what could slow you down.
I know most of you are here for the multiplayer chaos, but if you like to warm up in single-player first, Battlefield 6 gives you a quick, globe-trotting campaign that sets the stage. You will hop around the world taking on the on-paper unstoppable Pax Armata, then jump online feeling a little less rusty. Here is what to expect: how long it is, every mission, and the stuff to hunt down along the way.
What the campaign is, in plain English
It is a lean, nine-mission tour that bounces you between hotspots worldwide, each stop throwing you at Pax Armata in a slightly different flavor of firefight. It is not sprawling or padded; it is a focused run built to introduce toys, tone, and tactics before you get dropped into multiplayer mayhem.
How long it takes to beat
Start to finish, you are looking at roughly 5–6 hours. Crank the difficulty up or get stuck on a set piece and you could add a couple of hours. Breeze through on an easier setting and you will trim that time down. For perspective: it is a bit longer than Battlefield 2042’s campaign and lands in the same neighborhood as Battlefield 3, 4, 1, and 5.

Collectibles and achievements (yes, including a dinosaur)
Every mission hides a few goodies. Across the entire campaign there are 30 dog tags to collect, and there is also a T-rex dinosaur collectible tucked in there because of course there is. You will pick up achievements for clearing each level, and some extras pop for optional challenges. One example: in The Rock, there is an achievement for destroying 10 mannequins. It is exactly the kind of odd little side task that will make completionists double back through levels.
Bottom line: if you want a brisk, world-hopping primer before diving into PvP, Battlefield 6’s campaign does the job, dishes out a few secrets, and gets you back to the main event without eating your whole weekend.
