The Little Bird flies again.

Today marked the launch of Battlefield 6 Season 1, featuring a new map, a battle pass, and a fresh free-to-play battle royale mode known as Redsec. However, for dedicated Battlefield players, the standout highlight in this update is the potential comeback of scout helicopters.

After today’s patch, players reported discovering the ability to spawn a fully functional Little Bird scout helicopter on the Operation Firestorm map within the Portal editor. This suggests a return of a classic feature that many players are eagerly anticipating.

As excitement builds, the community is left wondering when scout helicopters will officially return to multiplayer gameplay. While the Portal’s pilotable Little Bird is in place, these helicopters are not mentioned on the Season 1 roadmap, leaving fans to speculate about their future in the game.
