"On November 11, EA released the "Lead the Way" cosmetic bundle in its hit multiplayer FPS Battlefield 6. The pack costs $12 and includes gear inspired by Army Rangers, including a new weapon skin, character outfit, and camo parachute. It's a pretty grounded, realistic cosmetic pack, the kind of thing Battlefield 6 fans love."
"If you head over to the Battlefield 6 store online, you'll see a preview image with text that states: "Join Battlefield in our support of the National Ranger Association." That seems to imply this is a charity pack, and the store listing's most prominent text does nothing to indicate otherwise."
""No portion of the Lead The Way pack sales is donated." While proceeds of the Lead the Way Pack are not allocated to charity, our independent donation to the National Ranger Association helps advance their important work for the Ranger community. We encourage you to learn more at their website and consider supporting their mission."
EA released the Lead the Way cosmetic bundle for Battlefield 6 on November 11. The $12 pack includes Army Ranger–inspired gear: a weapon skin, a character outfit, and a camo parachute. The Battlefield 6 store preview features text stating "Join Battlefield in our support of the National Ranger Association," which creates the impression of a charity bundle. Small-print on the store page explicitly states that no portion of the pack's sales is donated. EA posted that proceeds are not allocated to charity but that EA made an independent donation to the National Ranger Association and encouraged players to support the organization separately. Kotaku contacted EA and Battlefield Studios about the bundle.
