VPN USE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED

The use of VPNs in Battlefield 6 needs to be addressed immediately. Players are clearly exploiting the system, and it’s affecting the overall integrity of the game. How is it that someone with a red network icon indicating a poor or unstable connection can consistently finish at the top of the leaderboard? This isn’t just coincidence  it points to a serious flaw being taken advantage of.

 

When players manipulate their connection through VPNs, it creates an unfair experience for everyone else. Gunfights become inconsistent, hit registration suffers, and the competitive balance is completely thrown off. It’s frustrating to play a match where skill feels secondary to connection exploits.

 

What makes this worse is the perception that these issues aren’t being taken seriously. Instead of addressing core gameplay problems like netcode and VPN abuse, it feels like the focus is elsewhere. If this continues, it’s going to drive players away and hurt the long term health of the game.

 

This needs to be acknowledged and fixed before more of the player base loses confidence.

    The post is about both console and PC! I get what you're saying but the PC community is asking for an option to turn cross play off. I don't like playing against an aim assist that resembles soft aim bot 

  • I disagree most network icons are on pc.

    Furthermore to use a VPN on console you must use it on the router level, not software like pc. Meaning there are more vpns available thru ease of use on pc than console comparatively.

    All software cheaters and exploiters are on pc, while hardware cheats such as a cronus are on every platform.

  • They made a mistake by making this game available in the CN region.  Not only do the majority of VPN abusers come from there, but that's where 99% of hacks are developed because CN won't recognize US law.

  • "Instead of addressing core gameplay problems like netcode and VPN abuse, it feels like the focus is elsewhere"
    They are focussing on making as much money as possible.  Paying devs to fix the netcode will never happen.  Tonight mine was worse than it has been for a few weeks.  Just randomly plays like garbage.  Bullets don't register even from a sniper rifle you watch bullets go through people.

    I guess the new leadership doesn't care! Battlefield 6 future slogan "cheaters welcome"
