Today, we’ve rolled out a series of changes in relation to Defibrillators, Sabotage alterations, and further Challenge balance changes. All of the changes listed below are now live and should take effect in a fresh match or upon a game reload.

Defibrillator Adjustments after 1.1.2.0

After changes to the Defibrillators in Update 1.1.2.0 made them more demanding in terms of accuracy and target range, we've published a backend update to bring their usability back in line with our original intentions.

We've increased their effective hit-boxes and range, which should make Defibrillators feel more consistent with previous gameplay.

 

Sabotage Mode Alteration

As some of you might have noticed, during the side swap segment of Sabotage there was a unintended 60 second delay duration. Upon investigation this delay also conflicted with AFK timer protections that exist in Battlefield 6. We have now rolled out an update which increases the AFK kick timer in Sabotage to 180 seconds.

Additionally, we have taken the temporary measure to disable bot backfilling in Sabotage and you can expect to see this reintroduced in a later update.

 

Additional Challenge Changes

Earlier this month, we shipped our first set of changes to the Challenges and Assignments, which included a total of 90+ adjustments. Today’s update focuses on clearer, more consistent descriptions and criteria across Challenges and Assignments, as well as making some of the following challenges easier to achieve.

Where listed, we have also removed some from being obtainable.
