⚡ Quick Summary

Custom Loadouts let you pre-configure your ideal weapon, attachments, and equipment setup before entering a match, then call them in during the game at Loadout Stations scattered across Fort Lyndon.

Unlike traditional Battle Royale games where you're stuck with whatever loot you find, Battlefield REDSEC's Custom Loadout system allows you to bring your favorite weapons into the match. This is a game-changing feature that rewards strategic planning and knowledge of the map.

Why Custom Loadouts Matter

Consistency: Use your favorite weapon every match instead of relying on RNG loot
Optimization: Pre-configure perfect attachments for your playstyle
Class Synergy: Create loadouts that complement your chosen class abilities
Strategic Advantage: Plan your rotation around Loadout Station locations

How to Create Battlefield REDSEC Custom Loadouts

Step-by-Step: Creating Your First Loadout

Access Main Menu: From the Battlefield REDSEC home screen, navigate to Collection
Select Loadouts: Choose Custom Loadouts from the menu
Create New Loadout: Click "Create New Loadout" (you can have up to 5 custom loadouts)
Choose Primary Weapon: Select from all weapons you've unlocked
Attach Modifications: Add optics, barrel, underbarrel, magazine (if you've unlocked them)
Choose Secondary Weapon: Pick a pistol or secondary
Select Equipment: Grenades, tactical equipment (2 slots)
Name Your Loadout: Give it a memorable name (e.g., "Aggressive AR", "Long Range Sniper")
Save: Confirm and save your loadout

⚠️ Important: You can only use weapons and attachments you've already unlocked. See our Weapon Unlock Guide to learn how to unlock everything.

Loadout Slots

You can create and save up to 5 custom loadouts at any time. You can edit, rename, or delete loadouts from the main menu between matches. Consider creating loadouts for different situations:

Slot 1: Aggressive

Close-range SMG or Shotgun loadout for hot drops and building fights

Slot 2: Balanced

Assault Rifle loadout for all-around performance

Slot 3: Long Range

DMR or Sniper loadout for end-game circles

How to Call In Battlefield REDSEC Custom Loadouts

✅ Quick Guide

To call in your loadout during a match, find a Loadout Station (marked on the map), approach it, hold the interaction button, and select which of your 5 saved loadouts you want.

Calling In Your Loadout (In-Game)

Step-by-Step Process

Locate Loadout Station: Check your map (M key) for Loadout Station icons (gray supply crate symbols)
Approach Station: Get within 3-5 meters of the station
Interact: Hold E (PC) / Square (PS5) / X (Xbox) for 3 seconds
Select Loadout: Choose from your 5 saved loadouts
Receive Weapons: Your selected loadout will appear on the ground
Equip: Pick up weapons and equipment from the drop

Important Limitations

One Use Per Station: Each Loadout Station can only be used once per player
Not Instant: 3-second interaction time makes you vulnerable - clear area first
Visible to Enemies: Calling in loadouts makes noise - enemies nearby will hear it
Station Locations Are Fixed: Everyone can see station locations on the map

💡 Pro Tip: Loadout Stations are often contested in early game because everyone wants their best weapons. Consider landing near a station if you're confident in your fighting skills, or grab loot first then visit stations mid-game when they're less busy.

Battlefield REDSEC Loadout Station Locations

Fort Lyndon has multiple Loadout Stations scattered across the map. They appear as gray supply crate icons on your in-game map.

Common Loadout Station Areas

🏙️ Major POI Stations

High traffic, high risk:

Downtown District - Central square
Military Base - Near barracks
Airport - Terminal building
Harbor - Warehouse district

🌲 Outskirt Stations

Safer, but further from circle:

Farmlands - Scattered near silos
Suburbs - Residential areas
Outpost locations
Rest Stop areas

⚠️ Remember: Station locations are randomized each match (similar spawn points but not identical). Always check your map at the start of each game to plan your route.

Strategic Station Selection

Choose which station to visit based on:

Circle Location: Prioritize stations inside the first safe zone
Enemy Density: Avoid hot drop stations early game unless necessary
Your Landing Spot: Plan drop location with nearby station in mind
Rotation Path: Visit stations along your natural movement towards circle

Pro Tips for Battlefield REDSEC Custom Loadouts

✅ DO's

Create Multiple Loadouts: Use all 5 slots for different situations
Plan Your Drop: Land near a Loadout Station for fast loadout access
Check Station Availability: Ping stations to see if teammates have used them
Adapt to Circle: If circle is far, grab loadout early before rotating
Equip for Late Game: Consider end-game loadouts (DMR/Sniper) around circle 4-5

❌ DON'Ts

Don't Rush Stations Blind: Always clear area before calling loadout (3s vulnerability)
Don't Waste Early Stations: Sometimes ground loot is good enough for early game
Don't Create Similar Loadouts: Use your 5 slots for variety, not duplicates
Don't Forget Attachments: Unlock weapon attachments before creating loadout
Don't Ignore Equipment: Grenades and tactical gear are part of loadouts too

Advanced Strategies

The "Loadout First" Strategy

Instead of looting buildings for 5 minutes, some pro squads drop directly at Loadout Stations, grab their custom weapons immediately, then fight with superior gear while enemies are still using basic ground loot.

Risk: High - multiple teams often contest stations

Reward: High - you get your best weapons while enemies have random loot

The "Mid-Game Swap" Strategy

Start with ground loot, survive early game, then visit a less-contested Loadout Station mid-game (circles 3-4) when most stations are unclaimed. This is safer and still gives you custom weapons for crucial late-game fights.

Risk: Low - stations are less contested mid-game

Reward: Consistent - reliable access to your loadout when it matters

Battlefield REDSEC Custom Loadouts FAQ

Can I change my Battlefield REDSEC loadouts during a match?

No. In Battlefield REDSEC, you can only select from the 5 custom loadouts you created before the match started. However, you can edit your loadouts in the main menu between matches.

How many times can I call in a loadout per match?

Once per Loadout Station. Since Fort Lyndon has multiple stations (I've counted 8), you can get multiple loadouts by visiting different stations. I usually hit 2-3 stations per match.

Do I need to unlock weapons before I can use them in Battlefield REDSEC loadouts?

Yes. In Battlefield REDSEC, you can only add weapons, attachments, and equipment that you've already unlocked through leveling up and weapon mastery. See our Unlock Weapons Guide.

Can teammates see which loadout I'm calling in?

Your teammates can see you're using a Loadout Station, but they cannot see which specific loadout you selected. Communication with your squad is key for coordinating gear.

What happens if the circle closes on a Loadout Station?

Loadout Stations remain active even in late-game circles. However, visiting them becomes increasingly risky as the playable area shrinks and more players are concentrated in smaller spaces.

Are Loadout Stations visible to enemies?

Yes. All players can see Loadout Station locations on the map. This makes them natural points of conflict, especially in early game when everyone wants their custom weapons.
