Field Upgrade/Grenade issue

Question

I want to report a weird thing that is happening to me on BF6 Xbox Series X

I changed my grenade to LB and my ping/marker to RB. When I get my field upgrade such a UAV overwatch for example, when I tap LB/RB together at the same time I throw my grenade every time. To use my field upgrade I have to throw my grenades away first in order to use it

Also, in case any devs read this, I also wanted to share that I have been playing Battlefield since 1943/Bad Company 2 days on Xbox 360.. and the amount of white hit markets I get in BF6 is so frustrating. It feels like the most 'core' style Battlefield ever, and I feel like the amount of white hit markers + the hit registration needs to be improved severely. The amount of cover, team mates, and movement advantages enemies have should be enough for them to survive a gunfight with lower amount of hit markers to down someone. I think it's definitely way too 'core-ish' which is causing frustration among the growing community

Thanks

Actually I think I finally figured it out.

Under the “General” infantry button mappings, make sure you have grenades/class ability and call-in gadget bound to the button that you want (for me LB on Xbox).

Then very importantly go all the way down to the “Weapons and Equipment” section, and UNBIND grenade entirely from there.

For me this is making it so grenade still works with a single LB tap, but when I do the two button combo (for me LB and RB) for the class ability I no longer throw a grenade. Up until I tried this, like you, I had to basically throw all my grenades until I could do the class ability or UAV, airstrike, etc. or UAV, airstrike, etc.

Hope this works for you, this was incredibly aggravating for me!

Wow thanks! I would have never figured that out. I'll have to give it a go&nbsp;

This was making RedSec especially almost unplayable, I just would end up dropping UAVs and airstrikes for teammates to use because it was too obnoxious to have to throw all my grenades first. I finally just joined a conquest, got my class ability, and sat in HQ as a support so I would have unlimited grenades so I could just test over and over and over differenting binding settings lol.

Hope it works for you too! 🫡
