In Battlefield 6, killing an enemy often takes nearly a full magazine that’s far from realistic. In real combat, 2–4 well placed shots are enough to incapacitate a soldier, depending on where you hit. The damage model should reflect shot placement: vital hits should drop enemies quickly, while non-lethal hits can require more rounds. This would make firefights more authentic, rewarding skill and accuracy instead of just spraying bullets.
Exactly this. BF6’s current ttk kills the realism and pacing. In real combat, skill and shot placement decide the outcome not dumping an entire mag into one target. The game needs faster, locationbased damage so that firefights feel authentic and rewarding
I completely agree. If it takes dozens of bullets to kill, it not only breaks immersion but also discourages tactical gameplay. Rewarding precision and shot placement makes the game more skill-based and satisfying
Couldn’t agree more , Battlefield isn’t supposed to feel like shooting at armored robots
Zvintok ahah that's exactly right
When it takes a whole bunch of bullets to kill a single soldier, positioning, flanking, and surprise attacks become irrelevant. In real combat, a sudden kill or a precise shot can end a fight in seconds. In BF6, smart action and precision should take the initiative, not emptying the whole bunch of bullets on the enemy
Battlefield (all out warfare) has never been a milsim. You will get to play hardcore games when portal becomes available.
Balance is more important than realism in a game like battlefield.
Also, you are cherry-picking here. What about health regen, reviving and so on? What about explosions and area of effect. Realism has to be applied case-specifically, taking balance into consideration.
A longer TTK increases the skill ceiling because it requires better recoil control, especially at range. Also forces players to carefully choose their firing mode and makes campers less of an issue because you get a chance to fight back.
Absolutely. The TTK, TTD are so very inconsistent, it seems something must be broken.
I sort of agree, but I also wonder to what degree random deviation plays into it. I think in the heat of an engagement people don't realize that the bullets don't always go where the reticle is. The longer you fire the farther away from the reticle they go. It might not be as noticeable in CQC but you get into medium range and long range and it starts impacting TTK. This was the case in older BFs. You can control this by not moving when shooting and either crouching or going prone.
Another element is the lag smoothing. I messed about by adding various amounts of delay to my connection and found that if I play with as an ideal connection as possible then other players see me before their player model is shown to me but the hit boxes are still where the player model should be so I have to lead my bullets considerably even at small distances. I literally have to shoot where the guy isn't. This is hard to notice in the moment but could also lead to the sense that it takes too long to down an enemy.
But after dialing it in I found that about 30-40 extra ms of ping is the sweet spot for having enemies' models be where their hitbox are. And now every engagement doesn't start with them already shooting me, I can actually catch some people mid sprint.
I understand why they need to have random deviation in a game like Battlefield. So there is some survivability in more open areas and ever weapon doesn't just become a sniper but they should probably communicate this better. Maybe even have more ammo in a magazine by default too.
It feels so much more then anything except BF. People snapping on to you and instantly kill you.
I want a battlefield..not a call of duty.
I am not sure if it is the ttk, aimassist or cheats...but it just reduces the fun for me a lott
Why BF6’s Current TTK Breaks Realism and Gameplay”?? “In Battlefield 6, requiring nearly a full magazine to kill a single enemy is neither realistic nor good for gameplay balance.
In real-world combat, the average intermediate cartridge (like 5.56×45mm NATO or 7.62×39mm) delivers enough kinetic energy to incapacitate a target in 1–3 wellplaced shots, especially to vital areas. Even hits to non-vital areas often stop a soldier from fighting effectively within seconds. That’s why trained marksmen don’t spray 20 rounds they aim for center mass or critical points.
When every enemy becomes a bullet sponge, three major problems happen:
Battlefield has always thrived on a balance of realism and fun. The current BF6 TTK tilts too far from realism, turning firefights into long, repetitive exchanges rather than fast, decisive encounters.
A better system would use location based damage scaling:
Right now, TTK feels like shooting at heavily armored robots. Battlefield deserves better and faster, more authentic damage would make every fight more intense, every bullet more meaningful, and every kill more satisfying
