The Battle Pass progression system is absolute garbage – Let us play our way!

I am writing this because I am deeply frustrated with the current Battle Pass progression system in BF6. Forcing players to progress exclusively through specific challenges instead of general gameplay is a completely broken and brainless design choice. 

A Battle Pass should reward people for playing the game, not for treating it like a second job. Right now, the system forces us to constantly play exactly how the developers force us to. If you don't complete 100% of it, you don't get enough coins back to buy the next season, which forces players to spend real money again. It feels like the devs designed these tedious challenges on purpose just to make people fail and pay up. 

Instead of playing the game relaxed and how we want, we are forced to constantly check menus and complete annoying tasks—like tracking down specific gadgets just to mark vehicles. It completely ruins the match flow and even rewards toxic playstyles where dying on purpose is faster than actually playing. Whoever greenlit this entire progression model is completely out of touch with the community. 

This does not feel like fun; it feels like annoying, forced labor. We want to log in, play the way we enjoy, and progress naturally through standard gameplay. The progression should be tied to pure playtime, kills, and overall match score, so every playstyle feels rewarding. 

I really hope the team reconsiders this design. Please change this system to respect the players' time, so we can finally focus on enjoying the actual game again.

  • Exactly. They could easily buff the XP gains and introduce a soft cap on progression to stop people from burning through rewards too early. Honestly, it feels like modern games are explicitly balanced around the assumption that someone buying the Battle Pass in the last two weeks should still be able to grind it out and finish it.

  • Agreed we shouldn't have to wait weekly on battle coins... we should be able to unlock things freely as we go rather than progressing solely through a few weekly challenges

    I’m not a fan of the challenge system, but then I don’t even like battle passes, the idea of paying just for a chance to unlock something in a limited time is a rip off. 

    BUT, that being said, I have to say they’ve seriously toned down how specific the challenges are. Fewer of them are linked to specific classes or weapons, most will be achieved through just playing. And the few annoying ones I get are easily re-rolled,

    Of note, while you have to unlock everything in the span of the season, you don’t need to do it every week, they don’t expire until the end of the season. I went on holidays during season 2, and because so many of the challenges are the same week to week, I just started unlocking everything in a few games.
