Battlefield 6 Ranked and Battle Royale are fundamentally broken
Hello EA Support,
I am extremely frustrated with the current state of Battlefield 6. I paid for a functional competitive multiplayer game, but Ranked and Battle Royale repeatedly feel unfinished, inconsistent, and unfair.
These are not isolated minor issues. They directly ruin matches, waste players’ time, and make competitive play meaningless.
- Broken Ranked party restrictions and unfair matchmaking
My two friends and I tried to queue for Ranked together. The game blocked one of us because it claimed their rank was too low. However, after we were forced to split up, that same friend was placed into our match as an enemy. Their squad had higher-ranked players, while two of us were assigned random teammates with no rank at all.
If the rank restriction prevents friends from playing together, why does the matchmaking system then put those same supposedly incompatible ranks into the same lobby, on opposing teams? This makes absolutely no sense and creates unfair teams. - Players fail to load into the helicopter at the start of Battle Royale
This has happened multiple times with players from different countries as well as players from the same country. When the match starts, some or all squad members do not load into the helicopter. By the time they finally load in, the drop phase is already over and they are dead, often without a proper second chance.
In some matches, nobody loads into the helicopter until the final seconds. This is a catastrophic launch-phase bug that destroys the entire match before it even begins. - Parachute opens incorrectly from very low heights
The parachute can open after jumping from a height of roughly one meter. This has repeatedly caused me to lose fights or die because the character enters the parachute/landing animation when it should not happen.
Please fix the parachute trigger and landing behavior. It is not reliable or properly optimized. - Terrible loot distribution
Sometimes I land in an area with almost no loot. Other times, multiple containers contain only shotguns. The loot system feels random in the worst possible way rather than balanced for a Battle Royale mode.
Loot distribution needs to be reviewed so that landing zones provide viable early-game options instead of repeatedly forcing players into hopeless situations. - Broken helicopter UI information
The UI in the helicopter often displays incorrect ranks and incorrect player levels. In a ranked or competitive environment, inaccurate player information is unacceptable.
Please investigate and fix the rank and level display issues in the pre-drop UI. - Inconsistent map collision and exploitable hiding spots
There are locations on the Battle Royale map where collision works inconsistently. Players can get stuck in doors, walls, or map geometry, while other players can hide inside walls and become extremely difficult or impossible to find or hit.
Please thoroughly audit the map collision, especially buildings, doors, walls, and terrain. These issues are exploitable and directly damage competitive integrity.
I expect this ticket to be reviewed by an actual support or development team member, not answered with a generic “restart your game / check your connection” message. These are recurring gameplay, matchmaking, UI, and map-design problems.
I want Battlefield 6 to be worth playing competitively, but in its current condition, Ranked and Battle Royale do not feel reliable or fair.
