BF 6 Spotting with RB
Feedback on Controller Layout in the Battlefield 6 Closed Beta
As a long-time player of Battlefield 4 and 2042, I immediately noticed that the default controller layout in the BF6 Closed Beta has changed:
Instead of spotting with RB (Right Bumper) as in previous titles, spotting is now set to LB (Left Bumper) by default – while RB is used to throw grenades.
Although I was able to manually rebind the controls, I find this change in the default layout very frustrating, especially for veteran players:
Many of us are used to aiming with LT and spotting with RB at the same time, without shifting hand position.
The new default breaks that muscle memory and often leads to accidental grenade throws.
It disrupts the natural spotting–aiming–shooting flow that Battlefield players have used for years.
💡 Suggestion: Please reconsider the default controller layout. Either:
Add a “Classic BF4 Layout” preset
Or return RB as the default button for spotting
Thank you for including customizable controls – but having a more veteran-friendly default would make a big difference for long-time Battlefield fans.
