What Are Battle Points in R6? How They Work in the Battle Pass

What are Battle Points in R6? Battle Points are the progress points of the Rainbow Six Siege Battle Pass. You earn them by playing multiplayer playlists and finishing Battle Pass challenges, and they raise your Battle Pass level. You cannot spend Battle Points in the shop. Each level you gain gives you Battle Tokens, and you spend those tokens on Battle Pass tiles to unlock rewards.

So Battle Points are not a currency like Renown or R6 Credits. They work more like experience points that only count toward the current season's Battle Pass. This page explains how you get them, what they lead to and how they differ from the other two currencies. Everything below comes from Ubisoft's own pages, checked on 9 November 2026.

Where this information comes from

Ubisoft explains Battle Points in three places, and this guide uses only those:

Ubisoft does not publish how many Battle Points a single match, win or challenge gives. You will see exact numbers on other sites, but they come from older seasons or community testing, not from Ubisoft's current pages. We leave them out. Your Battle Pass screen in the game is the only reliable place to see what you are earning right now.

How Battle Points work: points, levels, tokens and tiles

The Battle Pass has four parts that are easy to mix up. Ubisoft's FAQ describes them like this:

  1. Battle Points. You earn them by playing multiplayer playlists and completing Battle Pass challenges.
  2. Battle Pass levels. Battle Points increase your Battle Pass level.
  3. Battle Tokens and gadgets. Each level up grants Battle Tokens, plus gadgets such as Breach Charges.
  4. Tiles. You use Battle Tokens on Battle Pass tiles to unlock the rewards you want.

In short: you play, you earn Battle Points, the points level you up, levels give you tokens, and tokens open reward tiles. The shop page puts the same idea in one line: complete multiplayer matches to earn Battle Pass Tokens and unlock tiles.

Unlocking rewards is something you do yourself. Ubisoft says the free version of the Battle Pass switches on by itself at the start of a season, but you pick which tiles to unlock. To see your pass, select "Battle Pass" from the main menu.

Breach Charges are a second Battle Pass gadget. Ubisoft says they unblock shortcuts to certain rewards, that you only get a limited number per season, and that unused Breach Charges are lost when the season ends.

How to get Battle Points in R6

Ubisoft names two ways to earn Battle Points:

Three things make you earn them faster, again according to Ubisoft:

Ubisoft does not say whether the 30% Premium boost and a 20% booster stack, or how long a booster lasts. If you want to know, check the booster's description in the game.

Premium Pass owners can also buy Battle Pass levels with R6 Credits. Ubisoft's FAQ lists this as a Premium benefit but does not give a price on the page, so we do not quote one.

What Battle Points unlock

Battle Points themselves do not unlock anything directly. They only move your level up, and the levels give you the tokens you spend on rewards. Ubisoft's support article says the Battle Pass has 100 tiers with rewards such as:

Free players can unlock every tile, but only collect the rewards from free tiles. Premium tiles have a gold background, and each item's preview tells you whether it is free or Premium. Ubisoft says Battle Pass customisation items can only be found in the Battle Pass, nowhere else.

If you reach the maximum level, you will have enough Battle Tokens to unlock every reward tile. You can keep levelling after that. With the Premium Pass you get one Alpha Pack for each level beyond the max.

You can browse Siege cosmetics on our weapon skins and charms pages. Our item data does not mark which items came from a Battle Pass, so use those pages to look up an item, not to check where it came from.

The current Battle Pass: Operation Split Fire

This table sums up what Ubisoft lists for the current pass. It will change next season, so check the date.

The season start date comes from our seasons data; the rest is from Ubisoft's Battle Pass page. Ubisoft says the new Operator gets 14 days of early access if you buy the Premium Pass when the season launches. Without the Premium Pass, you can unlock Noor in the shop with Renown or R6 Credits once early access ends.

Battle Points vs Renown vs R6 Credits

Rainbow Six Siege has two in-game currencies, Renown and R6 Credits. Battle Points are a third kind of number that sits next to them but works differently.

The key difference: Renown and R6 Credits are a balance you spend. Battle Points are a progress bar that fills up over one season. Ubisoft also notes that new Renown can take up to 15 minutes to show in your balance, and bought R6 Credits up to 24 hours.

Battle Pass progress, rewards and tokens are linked to your Ubisoft account, and Ubisoft lists them among the things that carry over between platforms. If you play on PC and console with the same Ubisoft account, your Battle Pass follows you.

What happens to Battle Points when the season ends

The Battle Pass is time limited. Ubisoft says progress resets every season, and once a pass ends you cannot level it or buy its Premium Pass anymore. Here is what happens to the rest:

If you are a free player, spend your Battle Tokens before the season ends. For the current pass, Ubisoft lists the end as 1 December.

Buying the Premium Pass late still works. Ubisoft says you automatically get every Premium reward from tiles you already unlocked, plus the other Premium benefits. Ubisoft also says the Premium Pass purchase is non-refundable.

Does SiegeRadar show Battle Points?

No. SiegeRadar tracks ranked and overall stats, such as rank points, K/D, win rate and operator stats. Battle Points, Battle Pass level and tokens are not part of the stats data we read, so they do not show on player profiles. Check them in the game under "Battle Pass".

If you want to see how your season is going while you level the pass, look up your profile from the home page, compare your rank with our guide to how R6 ranked works, or read how season and lifetime stats differ. For every past season and what it added, see the full seasons list.
