New attachment notification icons are inaccurate

 

The orange/red dots that indicates a new attachment has been unlocked are entirely unpredictable. Some weapons you can clear the new attachment icon and it will still show the orange dot on the weapon thumbnail (no, this is not occurring from new weapon blueprints). Some weapons you can clear all new attachments and still have orange dots present on the attachment section. It is virtually impossible to distinguish which guns actually have new attachments and which have faulty icons on them. For reference, I am on PC but my friends on Xbox have also reported this issue. Unsure about PS.

In the above screenshots you can see that it's telling me I have a new item on foregrips. Once I click into the section, there is nothing new available. This isn't the only instance of the problem but context for what I'm referring to. This seems to randomly reset itself as it isn't persistent, presumably on game restart or some other event. This means the problem isn't staying but it is certainly not updating at the times that it should. If I clear the notification of a new attachment it should go away. This is a call of duty problem, c'mon.

    Thanks for flagging this — I’ll make sure to report it to the team for review. We really appreciate your support!

  • Just wanted to confirm this is still occuring on Xbox. I have unlocked new attachments and gone through them all to check what was new, and I still have the notification dot on the main weapon thumbnails.

  • Can confirm still an issue to this day. I'm on PS5 and I cannot remove the thumbnail notification for one of my weapons (Kord assault rifle) despite me already having gone through all attachments. This results in all my classes having the notification.

  • whatever bit needs to be flipped to remove the orange dot after you click on the new skin, decal, or charm does not seem to happen until you restart the game.

     

    And for Gods sake either limit characters we can enter into the Post title to 80 or give us a character count  e.g. 103/80, The  "Post Title must be less than 80 characters" is annoying as hell, I do not think anyone counts the characters as they type them.

    Plus some post tiles need to be more than 80 characts to be accurate

    Thanks for the additional reports, everyone — we’re still tracking this with the team, but we don’t have a fresh update to share yet.

    Description: The USG-90 is showing that optical accessorys has a new unlocked, but theres is nothing that is new, nor an orange notification bubble. Im assuming that this also happens with some other guns but for now im going to put down for just the USG-90, Will update this post as I observe more weapons

    Expected Results: If there is a new attachment unlocked that the attachment is properly labeled with an orange notification buble
    Acutal Results: USG-90 is showing that something is unlocked, but nothing actually is.

    Reproduction Steps: 
    1. Launch BF6.EXE
    2. Level up USG-90 to ( I think 30)
    3. Observe Optics Attachment saying something unlocked but nothing is.

    Platform: PC
    Version: 1.2.1.0

    Readers: If you are experincing a similar bug, please post your weapons below with video or photo so its easier to document.

    Sorry but it happens every playsession with every first two weapons I unlock attachments with. Without exception. Every time I unlock something, the "dot" gets locked and does not go away. Same for the second weapon I unlock something for. This bug has happened on every single Battlefield game since ever and I dont get why there is no "clear notifications" button to begin with. How many franchise entrys are needed to learn from this?

  • This has been a bug since the game came out 2 seasons now amd it still happens. The lazy **bleep** dont know how to fix a simple bug is pretty pathetic makes sense though it is EA shouldn't expect much
