SERVER BROWSER In case you have missed it, we are rolling out the Server Browser in Battlefield 6 early, starting with a Limited Public Scale Test launching shortly after the Casino Heist update. This stage of implementation will allow our development team to stress-test server loads, observe live queue performance, and validate matchmaking backfill with real squads. Once this test has been completed and the necessary metrics have been verified, we will roll out the Server Browser fully to all Battlefield 6 players worldwide. Head over to our Community Update - Server Browser Coming Soon blog to learn more. CHANGELOG WEAPONS: Iron sights no longer clip into the 2.50x optic on the VCR-2. The “To the Grave” weapon package no longer causes the soldier’s fingers to clip through its attachment. Z84M The pull tab now displays correctly during reload animations. Magazines and sights no longer clip during weapon inspections when an underbarrel attachment is equipped. The 30-Round Fast Magazine for the PW7A2 now displays a consistent description. The 200-Round Belt Box now displays an accurate description on the L110 and M123K. The SGX Extended Barrel now displays the correct description. Corrected the penetration multipliers for Hollow Point, Frangible, and Tungsten Core ammunition attachments on the M121 A2. The RSPR 5-point Muzzle Brake no longer provides greater recoil reduction than intended. Updated the description of the Underslung Mount attachment for clarity. Updated the layer icon for the 5-Round Fast Magazine on the Interdictor. Resolved an issue where attachment 3D previews for the VSSM and LMR27 appeared misaligned and blurred in the Loadouts menu. The Royal Navy Dive Knife now plays its intended first-person takedown defender animation. Equipping the Standard Suppressor on the L115 now applies its intended hip-fire accuracy penalty. Tungsten Core penetration ammunition on the L115 and Interdictor now applies the intended recoil values. Corrected in-game descriptions across Low-Power Variable Optics and Thermal Sights (excluding the SU-230 and 1P86) to indicate that aiming down sights reduces movement speed Applied the intended aim-down-sights movement speed penalty to the TH-RDS 1.00x Thermal Hybrid. The M417 A2 25-Round Magazine attachment cost has been corrected from 15 points to 20 points. Deploying with the 50-Round Loose Belt on the M/60 now grants the intended 250 total rounds on spawn instead of 150 rounds. MK24 Corrected the attachment point cost for the Frangible ammunition attachment. Magazine attachments now display the correct attachment point costs. The bipod rail no longer appears when a handstop grip is equipped. Resolved an issue where the Underslung Mount grenade launcher attachment was granted incorrect ammunition counts and caused a broken reload animation. Corrected the UI icon for the Aftermarket Buffer attachment. Weapon & Attachment Balance Updates We have tuned several primary weapons and high-pick-rate attachments to better define their combat roles, reward deliberate shot pacing, and ensure extended magazines and specialised ammunition carry meaningful handling trade-offs. Mini Scout: Added a third damage drop-off step at 150m. Beyond 150m, the Mini Scout no longer deals a one-hit headshot elimination, dealing 50 damage to the chest and 33.5 damage to limbs (three hits to eliminate via limb shots). Developer Comment: The Mini Scout features best-in-class handling, rate of fire, bullet velocity, and potential magazine capacity, alongside an innate straight-pull bolt mechanism. Combined with an infinite headshot kill distance, it rendered other sniper rifles moot, provided a player landed headshots. This adjustment preserves its dominance at close range with rapid follow-up headshots without an overly forgiving sweetspot, removing one-hit kill headshot potential beyond 150m. SCW-10: Added a damage drop-off step at 55m (dealing 14.3 chest damage from 55–75m) and a new minimum damage floor of 12.76 beyond 75m. Developer Comment: This small change helps the SCW-10 stay in its intended close-quarters lane (particularly in Battle Royale), while creating competitive breathing room for the UMG-40 and RSPR. GRT-BC: Increased base aim-down-sights speed by one tier to match the submachine gun baseline. Factory and Light Barrels now grant hip-fire accuracy improvements instead of aim-down-sights speed bonuses. Extended Barrel now grants recoil reduction at the cost of an aim-down-sights speed penalty. Developer Comment: The GRT-BC was increasingly overshadowed by the BROD 3. These adjustments give the platform a distinct combat role bridging Carbines and Submachine Guns, leveraging its compact bullpup profile for innate aim-down-sights speed, while allowing the extended barrel handguard to add stabilising front-end weight for better recoil control. KTS100 MK8: Increased deploy time index by one step to align with the RPKM and RPK-74M. Reworked magazine attributes: 60-Round Drum (Regular): + Draw Speed. 60-Round Fast Drum: + Aim-Down-Sights Move Dispersion. 45-Round Compact (Compact 1): -25% Capacity, +Aim-Down-Sights Speed, +Draw Speed, +Sway, +Aim-Down-Sights Moving Dispersion. 50-Round Compact (Compact 2): -17% Capacity, +Draw Speed, +Sway, +Aim-Down-Sights Moving Dispersion. 45-Round Fast Magazine (Compact 3): -25% Capacity, +Aim-Down-Sights Speed, +Draw Speed, +Sway, +Aim-Down-Sights Moving Dispersion, +Reload Speed. Developer Comment: Re-establishes the KTS100 MK8 as a steady, methodical squad support platform. Magazines that previously granted a +20% reload speed benefit have been adjusted to ensure tangible vulnerability between reloads. Dialling back the handling attributes of the KTS100 MK8 helps in preventing the weapon from functioning as an oversized assault rifle, opening strategic space for the SOR-556 Mk2. Extended Magazines: KV9 & SCW-10 Extended Magazine 1 now applies a weapon draw speed penalty, and Extended Magazine 2 now applies both aim-down-sights speed and weapon draw speed penalties. SG 553R Extended Magazine 1 and 2 now apply a weapon draw speed penalty, and Fast Extended Magazine 2 now applies a weapon draw speed penalty and a reduced reload speed bonus. Developer Comment: These extended magazines saw roughly 80% pick rates, heavily skewing weapon viability. Players routinely sacrificed customisation points to bypass the natural trade-offs of close-range dominance. Penalising handling and draw times ensures players sprinting into combat unprepared cannot instantly snap to target, reducing effective time-to-kill advantages and encouraging standard or quick-reload magazine choices. Ammunition, Ergonomics, Muzzles & Optics: Match Grade Ammunition aerodynamic drag coefficient increased from 0.0002 to 0.00025. Removed Synthetic Tip Ammunition from the DRS-IAR. Developer comment: The DRS-IAR is arguably the most versatile weapon in BF6 with high RoF and great LMG dispersion + recoil. By selecting moderate attachments in other categories, Synthetic Tip ammo was a no-brainer, pushing its effectiveness over the edge. Frangible Ammunition customisation point cost reduced from 20 to 15 points across all weapons. Reduced the recoil reduction effectiveness of the Aftermarket Buffer attachment. Added a reload speed bonus to the Magwell Flare alongside its aim-down-sights reload capability. Underslung Mount customisation point cost reduced from 10 to 5 points across all compatible weapons. Iron Sights customisation point cost reduced from 15 to 10 points across all Sniper Rifles. The Gunslinger attachment on the M44 now grants hip-fire accuracy improvements instead of draw speed. Updated the SV-98 Flash Compensator to use Flash Hider characteristics (suppressing 2D minimap spotting only) and the SV-98 Suppressor to use standard Suppressor characteristics (suppressing both 2D minimap and 3D in-world spotting). Developer comment: The SV-98 has limited muzzle options, so by shuffling the effects and costs of the existing muzzles the weapon will now have a greater variety of builds with the ability to hide 2D spot-on-fire. PLAYER: First-person hand animations now play correctly after interacting with a door while holding a melee weapon. Removed the mirrored Battlefield logo from the right glove of the “Red Ghost Saboteur” character skin. Resolved flickering on the wrist device on the “Death Knell” character skin. Uniform patches now display correctly on the “Vortex” character skin. Resolved mask clipping on the “Controlled Burn” character skin. Corrected a typo on the “Rampant Raze” helmet patch. Resolved a texture issue on the “Highest Roller” character skin. VEHICLES: Resolved an issue where the guided missile was unresponsive when fired from the WSO seat in the multirole jet. Vehicles now launch into the air less often when colliding with other vehicles. Heavy Warheads now increase the ammunition count of Aim-Guided Rockets on the Panthera KHT Attack Helicopter. RCB-90 The mortar now displays accurate distance information. The mortar turret now displays correctly when the “Typhoon Rider” skin is equipped. Resolved an issue that could cause helicopters to launch into the air when hit by a Support Supply Bag. GADGETS: Resolved an issue where thrown Supply Pouches did not lock onto friendly players as intended. Several gadget and melee weapon skins now appear correctly in-game when equipped. Helicopters no longer flip abruptly when a passenger throws a Supply Pouch. You thought you were flippin’. Corrected an issue where the Supply Pouch ammunition count could become inconsistent after resupplying from a Supply Crate. The Handheld Jammer can only be self-applied, removing the option to deploy on the ground. MAPS & MODES: Added Rush, Team Deathmatch, and Domination to Vegas Strip. Added the Casino Heist addition M142 MRAS to existing Conquest layouts: Area 51 (Conquest): Replaced one Main Battle Tank at each team’s HQ with an M142 MRAS. Railway to Golmud (Conquest): Replaced the Mobile Anti-Air at Objective B with an M142 MRAS, and replaced the Main Battle Tank at Objective A with an Infantry Fighting Vehicle. Operation Firestorm (Conquest): Replaced one Main Battle Tank at each team’s HQ with an M142 MRAS. Mirak Valley (Conquest): Added one M142 MRAS to each team’s HQ. Extended the idle timeout by 90 seconds in Operations, Breakthrough, Carrier Strike, Conquest, and Escalation. Resolved an issue causing the restricted area UI to appear too early on blocked stationary weapon spawners. Out-of-bounds notifications no longer appear too early when blocking vehicle spawners, and the notification message now more clearly explains the restriction. Resolved a lighting issue that could cause overly bright spots to appear across maps. PROGRESSION: Resolved multiple progression tracking and criteria issues across Season 5 Weekly Challenges.

Resolved a discrepancy where in-game requirements for the Week 9 Challenge did not match the completion criteria displayed and tracked. Fixed a progression calculation bug with the Week 7 Bonus Challenge in Rapid Royale matches. Corrected tracking behavior for the Week 4 Bonus Challenge so that Multiplayer and REDSEC-specific progression criteria now track independently as intended, rather than advancing simultaneously. Updated the Week 10 Challenge description to accurately reflect that Superior items collected across all Royale modes (including Rapid Royale) count toward progress. Resolved a progression calculation bug with the Week 9 Challenge in standard Battle Royale modes. Fixed a progression calculation bug with the Week 9 Challenge in Rapid Royale matches. Updated the Week 8 Challenge criteria and tracking to correctly monitor top squad placements across all supported Royale modes. Fixed a progression calculation bug with the Week 7 Challenge in standard Battle Royale matches. UI & HUD: Weapon icons now update correctly in the soldier inventory HUD when switching weapons as the Assault class. Resolved an issue where squad orders could trigger unintentionally when cancelling out of the objective list in the Commo Rose.

Resolved an issue where 100 lethal damage could display as 99 damage next to the crosshair under certain circumstances. Victory Squad names and the Winner banner no longer overlap on the End of Round cinematic screen. Adjusted the Squad Leader icon to display at its intended size.

Restored missing icons in the vehicle deploy list on the Deploy Screen.

Cleaner Match Experience: Targeted map, mode, and AI updates reduce disruptive environment issues and improve behaviour during matches. PS5 and Stability Improvements: Game launch reliability, optic presentation, and Spectator mode stability have been improved. CHANGELOG PLAYER: Dev Note: Based on community feedback, we’ve removed the class restrictions from the Lt. Bradley “Rooster” Bradshaw and Lt. Robert “Bob” Floyd character skins. Both can now be used with any NATO class, giving players more flexibility to use their Top Gun cosmetics across the battlefield. Quitting to the main menu at End of Round no longer results in an endless loading screen. Resolved a crash that could occur in Spectator mode during large-scale experiences.

Battlefield 6 Game Update 1.4.3.0 deploys on Tuesday, September 15, alongside Season 4: Tidal Strike. Take on the new Deep Six Collection Event to earn Weapon Packages, a new knife, and other Customization Rewards. Proximity Chat arrives in Battlefield Labs for Live, while a new version of the Phantom Program comes to REDSEC. Find the full list of upcoming QoL changes, balance updates, and bug fixes below. At 8:00 UTC, the update becomes available to download across all platforms, bringing the latest gameplay changes to Battlefield 6. At 12:00 UTC, Season 4: Tidal Strike content goes live, including the Deep Six Collection Event, the Phantom Program, and Proximity Chat. NEW CONTENT Deep Six Collection Event Deep Six is a new Collection Event starting with Tidal Strike on September 15 and running through October 12. Earn a series of exclusive rewards across Battlefield 6 and REDSEC by completing contracts and gathering intel devices. Unlock premium Weapon Packages, Customization Rewards, and the new Diver’s Knife! New Melee Weapon: Diver’s Knife Originally carried by Royal Navy divers operating in challenging maritime environments, the Royal Navy Dive Knife serves as the ultimate reward for players who complete the full Collection Event. Proximity Chat Proximity Chat opens up new ways to communicate with nearby players during a match. Who you hear depends on their position relative to you, with voices placed directionally and shaped by the surrounding environment. Walls can obstruct voices, indoor spaces can change how they sound, and being inside a vehicle will also affect what you hear. You’ll be able to see who is speaking through Proximity Chat, with options to mute or report players when needed. Solo players and parties will default to Game voice chat, making it easier to take advantage of these interactions. To give you more control over this experience, we've also added the following options: Below the Commo Rose, you can now quickly swap channels and globally turn Proximity Chat on or off. Opening the scoreboard in Battle Royale will show a list of recent players you’ve heard through Proximity Chat. From there, you can mute, report, or block a player by selecting their name through the EA Connect pop-up. Up to four players can be heard at the same time. A UI message will let you know when this limit has been reached, with additional speakers temporarily muted until a channel becomes available. We’re excited to bring Proximity Chat to Battlefield Battle Royale, but real-world testing will be important as we continue to tune the experience. We’ll be looking closely at feedback around audio range, clarity, moderation tools, and how Proximity Chat affects gameplay before expanding the feature further. During this testing period, Proximity Chat may be switched on or off while we apply fixes and improvements. Once you’ve had a chance to try it, let us know what works, what doesn’t, and how it changes the way you communicate on the battlefield. Phantom Program Also starting with Tidal Strike, players can tackle the Phantom Program, a limited-time REDSEC operation. Hunt for hidden intelligence, easter eggs and the larger mystery of what has caused the Fort Lyndon security network breach. Earn exclusive rewards, including Weapon Packages and more. Major Updates for 1.4.3.0 Vehicle Improvements: Transport Helicopters, RCB90s, and Scout Helicopters have received gameplay, balance, presentation, and handling improvements. Gunplay and Readability: Weapon reticles, optics, attachment presentation, and a range of weapon-specific issues have been updated to improve clarity and consistency. REDSEC Improvements: Battle Royale mission flow, ring interactions, redeployment, loot behaviour, spectating, and quality-of-life systems have received further updates. Portal and Custom Lobbies: Custom Lobby reliability, spectator tools, Spatial Editor functionality, Portal scripting, and creator-facing tools have been expanded and refined. UI and Presentation: Menus, Ranked information, Store and Battle Pass flows, End of Round presentation, and item visibility have received a broad polish pass. Audio and AI: Audio feedback has been improved across movement, vehicles, and interface interactions, while AI gains improved navigation and water traversal. Reticle Improvements In 1.4.3.0, we’ve overhauled reticles across all weapon optics, launchers, and gadgets to deliver cleaner visuals, reduced clutter, and improved readability against any background. These refinements also strive to enhance the visuals with a more pronounced glow, crisper lines and optimized overall sizing of the center dots/reticles, ensuring a clearer view so you can focus on lining up every shot. 1.4.3.5 update, arriving in a few weeks. CHANGELOG PLAYER Corrected an issue where picking up a fallen Support Kit would grant the ability to revive teammates even after picking up another class kit. Corrected an issue where healing counted as a damage event that kicked players out of using remote-controlled gadgets. Vehicle supply crate collision radius checks are now slightly bigger to prevent player clipping bugs from occurring. Launchers will now have a small splash VFX play when the projectile passes through water. Fixed an issue where, when swimming/on the surface, players received a damage reduction when the bullet went through them and hit the water underneath. Players are no longer able to phase through the Carrier while driving the boat at a moderate amount of speed. Requesting revive is no longer interrupted if a friendly reviver gets killed or cancels the revive. Made vehicles more audible while the player is underwater. Corrected an issue where aim rotation could behave incorrectly when using the Repair Tool from the open seat in the UH-79. Fixed a visual issue causing the gunner’s first-person hands to glitch when looking up or down in the UH-79. Corrected an issue where a precise damage calculation could occasionally kill a soldier who had received roughly 99 damage. Improved the ability for players in a party to join the game together. VEHICLES Corrected a camera issue where tanks and the RCB90 could stutter while zooming in third-person view. RCB90 Patrol Boat Health increased from 800 to 1000. Improved steering responsiveness. Corrected an issue where the RCB90’s Deploy Ramp passive could remain active when it should not. Updated RCB90 weapon and vehicle event feedback for supported haptic devices. Corrected a typo in the Lock-Guided Missile description of the RCB90 Patrol Boat. AH-6 Little Bird Minigun overheat per bullet has been increased by ~33%, roughly overheating ~1.5 seconds faster than before with continuous fire. Decreased Minigun damage dealt to RCB90 Patrol Boats and ATPs by 50%. Transport Helicopters can now correctly take damage from small arms fire. GADGETS Corrected an issue where a tank could be destroyed by running over a friendly Portable Mortar. AA Gadget balance: SLM-93A and 9K38 Igla: Lock-on directional indicator for air vehicles has been removed. Developer comment: We've heard your feedback on infantry vs. aircraft balancing. We are removing the directional warning that alerts pilots to the location of a MANPAD lock-on. This means pilots will have to break off attacks earlier or wait for the missile trail to find its source, making the MANPAD a more effective deterrent and its user less vulnerable to immediate retaliation. The defibrillators no longer fire a charge upon stance change. WEAPONS Resolved an issue where the icon for the canted irons on the EF88 was misplaced Fixed an issue where match ammo for the M2010 and SVK had unintended amounts of damage reduction versus opponents in water. Corrected issues related to weapon stats not updating correctly for the EF88, BROD and VSSM. Updated descriptions on several weapons, including mention of subsonic ammo, which is a default attribute on the M45A1 and vz.61. The weight of the long and lightened suppressor in the L115 has been swapped. Corrected an issue where Vertical Grips on RPKM and RPK-74M have an offset hand position when a laser or light is equipped. Reticles have been improved for clearer visibility, with better readability against bright backgrounds. There is a new option allowing players to turn off the Picture-in-Picture zoom functionality on optics, which will change zoom to only use full-screen FOV rather than combine FOV and additional zoom inside the optic. Changing this does not change the total magnification scale but ensures the total zoom is only changing FOV. BROD3 Corrected an issue where the lasers did not move with the short/extended handguards on the BROD 3. Lasers now correctly adjust their position on the BROD 3 with the short and long handguard. Resolved an issue where thumb placement was unnatural when equipping certain grips on BROD 3. Corrected an issue where the BROD 3 Handguard was missing its icon. Interdictor Balance Updates Minimum damage increased from 62 to 80. Limb damage now matches chest damage Sweet spot damage decreased from 150 to 100 Sweet spot range adjusted to 120m to 160m Damage against armor in REDSEC increased to 100 regardless of hit location or distance Incorrect impact visual effects were corrected for all ammunition types except Match Grade Ammo Iron Sight attachment now costs 15 points. Developer comment: The Interdictor's damage didn't always match its powerful feel, so we've increased its effectiveness and consistency. It now deals 80 damage to the chest and limbs at all ranges, making two-hit kills much more reliable and one-hit kills on damaged foes more common. To better counter players using armor plates, especially in REDSEC, we've also increased its damage against them. With these adjustments, the old "sweeter spot" mechanic was redundant, so we have normalized the damage for more predictable performance. MAPS & MODES Carrier Strike Added Out of Bounds volumes to reduce instances of spawn camping on the carrier deck. Corrected an issue where HQ icons would not stick to the minimap in Rush and Breakthrough. Fixed "Alliance Disbanded" notification incorrectly appearing during the final round of Gauntlet. Corrected an issue where a player's class would be deselected after exiting a mode tutorial. Jets will no longer spawn on the carriers once breached, and will only be available through the deploy screen. Developer comment: We love seeing the battles on Carrier Strike, and we've also seen your feedback about spawn camping on carriers. We're rolling out some adjustments to improve the overall experience of the mode. Please let us know what you think once you've had a chance to play with these changes! Iberian Offensive Resolved an issue where some wall sections had no collision. Better wear a helmet when running into those now. Manhattan Bridge Adjusted out-of-bounds on the first floor of a building near point E in conquest. Adjusted several areas where the collision checks were overextended. This will make flying more predictable and cause fewer helicopters to crash against these buildings. Tsuru Reef Breakthrough Each sector has been expanded to allow both teams more flanking routes and the use of boats. Sector 1 Added 2 RHIBs Swapped Attacker Light Transport for APC Expanded the size of the Capture Points at “A” Moved “B” to a Warehouse along the Marina Sector 2 Increased the size of Capture volume B to include more cover Swapped Attacker Light Transport for APC Swapped Defender Light Transport for Quad Moved Defender contested spawns back 10-15M Fixed Attacker contested/non contested spawns at the beach Sector 3 Added an additional Capture Point down below across the waterway Swapped Attacker APC for Light Transport Removed APC for Defenders Increased the size of Capture Point “A” Sector 4 Reduced the number of Capture Points from 2 to 1 Expanded the Capture Point size of “A” down at the Docks PROGRESSION Kill Confirmed and Assist Confirmed round stats now track correctly towards Career Bests. New seasonal hardware assignments have been added for Season 4. Corrected an issue where the SABOTEUR Accolade could be incorrectly awarded when destroying your own Supply Bag. UI & HUD Corrected an issue where the "Steady Aim" prompt would appear while holding breath, even if set to toggle mode rather than hold mode. Fixed the issue in the net graph where it was showing armor breaking events that also dealt health damage as two separate damage events instead of one. Corrected an issue where contract progress would display incorrectly. Changed the Contract Failed string to Contract Expired. Corrected an issue where the resurface screen effect would play when standing in water and editing loadout. Corrected an issue where duplicate multiplayer requirement tags could appear in Custom Search. Corrected an issue where the Event tab could be missing or inaccessible from the main menu when an event was active. Corrected an issue where certain events could display an incorrect end time in the Challenges tab. Fixed a brief delay when viewing Battle Pass Instant Rewards for the first time.

Improved the readability of row titles in the Play menu when displayed over bright backgrounds. Improved the layout and presentation of Ranked information in the Player Profile. Fixed attachment indicator alignment issues across several weapons. Corrected an issue where the keyboard shortcut to like a map was not working on the End of Round screen. Corrected an issue where the Mark All Seen button could remain visible after clearing all new item indicators. Corrected an issue where Career Rank could be missing from the main menu after leaving a match. Corrected an issue where characters could appear without their weapons when viewing Unit Details in Loadouts. Corrected an issue where Challenge progression could display incorrectly on the End of Round screen. Corrected an issue where equipped Player Card Titles could fail to update in the Lobby.

Spectator mode will not be available at launch of Tidal Strike, but we’re working on adding it to these experiences. Custom Experiences will likely require several adjustments from their creators to work in Custom Lobbies, and Spectator Mode. Fixed an issue in Spectator mode on Conquest where the capture zone outline color did not match the correct team in some cases. Fixed an issue with long loading times when switching players in Spectator in some scenarios. Corrected team color for Headquarters being incorrect in Conquest mode for spectators.

Naval Warfare Returns in Season 4 Tsuru Reef Battlefield 6 Today What Players are Enjoying Right Now Season 3 by the Numbers Community Experiences Worth Trying Built Together With Community Feedback Combat Quality of Life Play Your Way Ranked Battle Royale More To Come Welcome Back Hey everyone, As we prepare for Season 4, we wanted to take a moment to reflect on how Battlefield 6 has evolved since launch. Over the past several months, Battlefield 6 has grown into a broader, more varied experience than it was at launch. The game now features 15 multiplayer maps, up from 9 at launch, alongside 58 weapons, new vehicles, returning modes, seasonal events, and community-created ways to play. That growth has been shaped directly by your feedback across our community channels, through Battlefield Labs, and by how you play the game. One of the clearest examples has been map variety, where we've seen both community conversations and player surveys reflect a positive shift as battlefields like Railway to Golmud and Cairo Bazaar have expanded the ways you can play. With Season 4 landing on July 21, we're building on that momentum through the addition of Naval Warfare, the introduction of Tsuru Reef, the return of Wake Island later in the season, and more updates shaped by your feedback. If it’s been a while since your last deployment, there’s never been a better time to jump back in. Naval Warfare Returns in Season 4 Season 4 expands Battlefield’s all-out warfare with the return of Naval Warfare, introducing an all-new lineup of naval vehicles designed specifically for combat across open water. These new boats expand Battlefield's combined arms sandbox, introducing new tactical opportunities throughout every match. Supporting Naval Warfare is an all-new dynamic wave system that changes how battles play out on the water, bringing another compelling element to naval combat. Battlefield has always been about player choice. Some battlefields are designed around fast-paced infantry combat, while others provide room to maneuver, make use of vehicles, and approach objectives from different angles. Naval Warfare builds on that philosophy by expanding how players can approach every engagement. Together with Tsuru Reef, Naval Warfare brings Battlefield's signature land, sea, and air combat together into one experience. If you haven’t seen our action-packed Season 4 Gameplay Trailer, make sure to check it out here. We'll also be taking a closer look at Naval Warfare and how to use the new naval vehicles in the days ahead. Tsuru Reef Launching alongside Season 4, Tsuru Reef is a brand-new battlefield built around Naval Warfare and Battlefield's signature combined arms gameplay. Designed to support combat across land, sea, and air, Tsuru Reef offers a variety of ways to approach every match. As one of our largest battlefields, it gives players more room to maneuver, open up new flanking opportunities, coordinate vehicle pushes, and choose how they want to tackle each objective. Whether you're taking the fight onto the water or leading the charge on land, Tsuru Reef is designed to create memorable Battlefield moments while giving you the freedom to play your way. We'll be sharing a dedicated look at Tsuru Reef before Season 4 launches, exploring the map's layout, design philosophy, and the new opportunities it creates for players. Battlefield 6 Today Let’s take a moment to look back at how Battlefield 6 has evolved over the past several months. We've expanded the fight between NATO and Pax Armata with new maps like Railway to Golmud and Cairo Bazaar while continuing to refine the overall experience based on your feedback. With these additions, we've seen community sentiment around our maps improve significantly through our Discord surveys as players continue discovering experiences that match their preferred playstyle. Data results from open Community Surveys shared on the official Discord. Today, Battlefield 6 features an expansive arsenal of weapons alongside a growing roster of vehicles, whether that's taking to the skies in the Little Bird or racing across the battlefield on the dirt bike. Combined with new modes, Community Experiences, seasonal events, and Ranked Battle Royale, Battlefield 6 offers more variety than ever before. With Season 4 just around the corner, Battlefield 6 will continue to expand with new weapons, vehicles, maps, and experiences. What Players are Enjoying Right Now One of the best parts of every game update is seeing how quickly we see you find new ways to create unforgettable moments. One of the biggest conversations following our latest update has been around the improvements to gunplay and netcode. Across our community channels, many of you have been highlighting the more predictable recoil, stronger weapon identity, and more responsive firefights. We've also seen positive discussion around the return of limb damage multipliers, with many players feeling that engagements now reward accuracy and weapon mastery while remaining approachable for new players. Season 3 by the Numbers Since the start of Season 3 through July 2nd, here’s what you’ve been up to on the battlefield. All figures represent combined gameplay hours across all players. Railway to Golmud quickly became Battlefield 6’s most-played map during Season 3, with players spending over 16 million hours battling across its large-scale sandbox. That’s nearly 2.5x the playtime of the next most-played map, Contaminated, which continues to be a favorite from Season 2. Cairo Bazaar, despite arriving midway through Season 3, has already accumulated more than 5.7 million hours of gameplay as players continue jumping into its fast-paced infantry combat. The return of Obliteration has generated more than 413 million hours of explosive gameplay, showing just how enthusiastically the community has welcomed its return. Ranked Battle Royale has already surpassed 1 billion gameplay hours, with competitors continuing to climb the ladder and earn their place among Battlefield’s best. The M16A4 became Battlefield 6’s most-deployed weapon, with more than twice the deployments of any other weapon in the game. The race for the most-played mode has never been closer. Throughout Season 3, Conquest, Breakthrough, and Battle Royale all rank within roughly 200 million player gameplay hours of one another, showing just how diverse our community is. Beyond the numbers, we've loved seeing the incredible moments you've been sharing across the Battlefield community. Here are a few highlights we’ve been enjoying: A surprise launcher takedown on Railway to Golmud: https://www.reddit.com/r/Battlefield6/comments/1uf25tj/you_miss_100_of_the_shots_you_dont_take/ The dream shotgun flank on Cairo Bazaar: https://www.reddit.com/r/Battlefield6/comments/1u44qls/dream_shotgun_flank_on_bazaar/ When medics don't cooperate... improvise: https://www.reddit.com/r/Battlefield/comments/1upx3qf/dumb_medics_wont_give_you_ammo_try_this/ A clutch Ranked Battle Royale win: https://www.reddit.com/r/Battlefield_REDSEC/comments/1ua2h72/clutching_a_ranked_win_last_man_alive/ Community Experiences Worth Trying Of course, we also can’t forget about our Portal creators and community.

If you want to share an experience you enjoyed a lot or one you built yourself and would like others to try out, join our official Discord server and share your experience in our Portal section! Built Together With Community Feedback Battlefield 6 continues to evolve through the conversations we have with you. From Battlefield Labs through every season since launch, your feedback has helped shape our priorities, and many of the improvements introduced throughout live service began with discussions across our community channels. Combat One of our biggest areas of focus throughout live service has been Battlefield's core combat experience. Across multiple seasons, we've refined weapon handling, improved hit registration and netcode, enhanced soldier visibility, and updated movement responsiveness to help every firefight feel more consistent, predictable, and rewarding. Our latest update in Season 3 marked another major step forward for Battlefield's gunplay. We introduced significant changes designed to create a more intuitive gunplay experience while continuing to reward skill-based play and weapon mastery. It's been fantastic to see so many of you already sharing positive feedback around these improvements, and we'll continue monitoring gameplay data alongside your feedback as we evaluate future opportunities to further improve Battlefield's combat. Quality of Life Beyond combat, we've continued refining many of the systems that support your overall Battlefield experience. Progression has been one of our biggest areas of focus throughout live service, with significant improvements introduced during Season 2 based on your feedback. Based on your feedback, we've made progression faster and more rewarding by increasing XP opportunities, simplifying challenges, and helping players unlock meaningful weapons, gadgets, and attachments earlier in their journey. Today, players progress through the Battle Pass more than 2.5 times faster on average than they did during Season 1, while Hardware Mastery improvements help unlock primary weapon attachments roughly 50% faster across all weapon categories. Alongside progression, we've continued improving menus and other quality-of-life systems to help you spend less time configuring your experience and more time playing Battlefield. We'll continue monitoring gameplay data alongside your feedback as we look for new opportunities to improve quality-of-life systems throughout Season 4. Play Your Way One of our goals has always been to give players more freedom in how they experience Battlefield. That philosophy extends to our battlefield design. Not every map is intended to play the same way, and that's by design. If fast-paced infantry combat with constant action is your preferred way to play, maps such as Hagental Base, Siege of Cairo, and Cairo Bazaar deliver close-quarters engagements with limited vehicle presence. If you enjoy Battlefield's large-scale sandbox, maps like Mirak Valley, Contaminated, Railway to Golmud, and the upcoming Tsuru Reef offer more space to maneuver, coordinate vehicle pushes, flank opposing teams, and give you more opportunities to plan your next move. No matter how you enjoy Battlefield, we want there to be an experience that's right for you. Beyond Multiplayer and REDSEC, Portal and Community Experiences continue to expand what’s possible by giving players new ways to create and play together. Ranked Battle Royale Whether you're returning to continue your climb or jumping into Ranked Battle Royale for the first time, Season 4 marks the beginning of a new competitive season, giving competitors a fresh opportunity to climb the ladder. As the new season starts, ranks will reset based on your Season 3 performance, and rewards will be distributed according to your final placement in Season 3. Alongside the new season, we're introducing additional refinements to the Ranked experience. For a full breakdown of the Season 4 Ranked Battle Royale changes, including rank resets, rewards, progression, and gameplay updates, be sure to check out our dedicated Ranked Battle Royale article. Ranked Battle Royale will continue as part of our Battlefield Labs in Live approach, where your feedback and gameplay help shape future improvements to the experience. More To Come Season 4 doesn't stop there. Later in the season, Wake Island returns to Battlefield 6, bringing one of the franchise's most iconic battlefields back for a new generation of Battlefield players. Alongside new content, we'll continue sharing gameplay updates, community events, and more details on what’s still to come throughout Season 4. We're also looking forward to continuing the conversation with you. Keep an eye out for our next Battlefield Community Q&A after Season 4 launches, where we'll be answering your questions and talking about the topics that matter most to you. Welcome Back Whether it’s been weeks or months since your last deployment, Season 4 is a great time to jump back in. Battlefield 6 has grown significantly since launch through new content, gameplay improvements, and continued collaboration with our community. We can’t wait to see the new moments you’ll create. Battlefield is at its best when we're building it together with you. Your feedback continues to shape what we work on next, helping us understand what's working well, where we should continue improving, and how Battlefield 6 can keep evolving.

Gunplay Improvements: Core gunplay has been updated to reward more deliberate aim, better recoil control, and stronger weapon mastery. Damage multipliers, dispersion, muzzle velocity, bullet drag, recoil variation, and Bolt-Action Rifle sweet spot ranges have been adjusted so pacing shots, controlling recoil, and aiming for the upper body matter more consistently. Netcode and Damage Feedback Improvements: This update continues the netcode and combat readability improvements we’ve been making throughout the season. Hit confirmations, damage feedback, server-side damage handling, bandwidth prioritisation, and TimeNudge behaviour have received further tuning to reduce delayed damage, late enemy position updates, and extreme cases of dying behind cover. Vehicle Combat Tuning: This update builds on the vehicle changes introduced at the start of Season 3, with further tuning to counterplay, survivability, and weapon consistency. IFVs, MBTs, Mobile Anti-Air, Attack Helicopters, smoke systems, countermeasures, lock-on behaviour, and vehicle weapon damage have been adjusted to further refine their combat roles. REDSEC and Second Chance Polish: Battle Royale flow has been improved across looting, missions, Field Upgrade behaviour, Safes, UAV detection, and redeploy sequences. Second Chance transitions are now smoother, squads redeploy together more reliably, and players now face towards the centre of the ring when returning to the fight. UI, HUD and Front-End Clarity: Combat information and menu presentation have been improved across the game. Map indicators, objective messaging, revive prompts, hit feedback, Loadouts, Battle Pass rewards, Store previews, Ranked visuals, and profile customisation should now appear more reliably and be easier to read at a glance.

Audio readability, AI vehicle behaviour, spawn placement, map collision, objective interactions, and mode-specific flow have also received further polish.

Network bandwidth distribution has been improved to prioritise gameplay-critical players, such as nearby or visible enemies. Network TimeNudge now reacts more quickly when network or performance conditions change, reducing cases of delayed enemy positions. Network TimeNudge now recovers faster after performance spikes, with reduced spike severity. The client game clock now synchronises with the server more quickly after poor CPU performance. Time synchronisation now avoids unnecessary corrections during temporary latency fluctuations, reducing brief rubberbanding and stuttering. VEHICLES: Developer note: We’re making a series of changes to follow up on our update at the start of Season 3, targeting Vehicle Equipment that is under or overperforming. While we’ve made small changes to many systems, key changes include reducing the effectiveness of Thermal Smoke and increasing the damage of the RPG-7V2.

Our goal is to make longer-range gunfights require players to lead their shots more consistently against moving targets, while also improving survivability for players on the receiving end. Players will now notice greater projectile travel time at range, but they will also be paired with more predictable recoil control during sustained/prolonged engagements allowing for more situations to define your scenario through skill. Damage Multipliers To better reward skill and mastery, average Time to Kill (TTK) has been slowed down without affecting the best possible TTK. Damage to limbs and lower torso has been reduced for all weapon classes except shotguns and sidearms. This change generally increases the amount of shots to kill by one when hitting these areas multiple times but landing headshots will compensate for the lower damage dealt to limbs and lower torso. In most engagements, this means that players that are more intentional about keeping their aim at the chest or at the head of their target will be more likely to win a gunfight. To maintain weapon balance and consistency, recoil for automatic weapons has also been adjusted, headshot multipliers for automatic weapons have been slightly increased, and base damage values have received minor adjustments. Automatic Weapons Damage Multipliers: Head: Increased from 1.34x, 1.5x, 1.75x to 1.4x, 1.57x, 1.8x (depending on headshot ammo type) Chest: Unchanged (1x) except against armor where the damage is now decreased from 1x to 0.84x Stomach: Decreased from 1x to 0.84x Limbs: Decreased from 1x to 0.84x DMRs Damage Multipliers: Head: Unchanged (1.34x, 1.5x, 1.75x) Chest: Unchanged (1x) except against armor where the damage is now decreased from 1x to 0.91x Stomach: Decreased from 1x to 0.91x Limbs: Decreased from 1x to 0.91x Sniper Rifles Damage Multipliers: Head: Unchanged (1.75x) Chest: Unchanged (1x) except against armor where the damage is now decreased from 0.8x to 0.67x Stomach: Decreased from 0.8x to 0.67x Limbs: Decreased from 0.8x to 0.67x Weapon Dispersion Dispersion has been adjusted to make firing behaviour more demanding for most weapons. It remains more forgiving for weapons with very low damage output, while weapons with medium to high damage output now require greater reliance on proper shooting technique and weapon mastery. Weapons with higher damage output now experience a more aggressive increase in dispersion, especially immediately after the first shot. This places greater emphasis on burst firing or single firing when engaging at extended ranges. Lower damage output weapons are affected less, and in some cases may have slightly reduced dispersion growth. On average, dispersion growth has increased by 14%. Weapons with the highest damage output can receive up to a 22% dispersion increase. Weapons with the lowest damage output can receive up to a 48% dispersion growth reduction, with smaller differences in absolute terms. MAPS & MODES: Capture points can now be pinged correctly.

NEW CONTENT Explosive Charge Event High explosives have been set. Prepare for the blast with the Explosive Charge Event, a limited-time event built around destruction, momentum, and all-out chaos. Every push, pickup, and detonation brings squads closer to pure obliteration. New Map Cairo Bazaar: A lively marketplace in the heart of Cairo enters the fight in Game Update 1.3.2.0. Packed with tight alleys, dense streets, and tactical opportunities for high-intensity close-quarters combat, Cairo Bazaar opens from a crowded market into a small city where vehicles patrol the roads and houses line the combat space. On Cairo Bazaar, every squad becomes a merchant of destruction. New Mode Obliteration: The iconic Battlefield mode returns with a new evolution. In Obliteration, PAX and NATO fight to control neutral bombs placed across the map and use them to destroy enemy M-COMs. Both sides must risk everything to secure the bomb, escort the carrier, reach the detonation site, and obliterate the enemy. New Weapon PP-19: An iconic Battlefield SMG is reborn. Built from a unique predecessor, the PP-19 delivers a modest but dependable close-range option, while still being able to tap into its helical, high-capacity roots through select modifications. New Recon Gadget Handheld Jammer: Jam the enemy signal with the Handheld Jammer, a new Recon gadget that disrupts nearby smart and electronic devices for a short period of time. Battle Royale Solos Battle Royale Solos returns with updates shaped by feedback from its Battlefield Labs live test.

New Attachments Cryo: Cryogenically-treated barrel that enables a quick transition to aim down sights (ADS) and improves accuracy during sustained fire. 00 Buck: Standard-penetration shotgun ammunition with increased range and damage per pellet, but fewer pellets per shot. Battlefield 6 Free Trial From June 9-15, Battlefield 6 will be free to play for a limited time. Jump into 5 modes across 4 maps, squad up, and experience ultimate all-out warfare with new maps, new modes, new weapons, and the chance to create your next legendary Only in Battlefield moment. Major Updates for New Content Arrives: The Explosive Charge Event arrives alongside Cairo Bazaar, Obliteration, the PP-19, the Handheld Jammer, and a new Battle Pass Bonus Path that expands the rewards available during the event. Obliteration Returns: The classic Battlefield mode is back with neutral bombs, enemy M-COMs, and intense squad-driven pushes where both teams fight to secure, escort, and detonate the objective. Battle Royale and Gauntlet Improvements: Mission behaviour, Threat Tracker accuracy, loot readability, Insertion Helicopter spacing, Airdrop stability, Tank Containers, Heist Caches, and Rodeo scoring have all been updated for a smoother match flow. Weapons and Attachments Receive a Broad Polish Pass: Burst Fire attachments, Extended Barrels, thermal optics, attachment poses, reload behaviour, Tac-Light unlocks, and weapon previews have all seen further consistency and usability improvements. Gadgets Receive Further Tuning: LWCMS Portable Mortar, M18 Claymores, MAS 148 Glaive, XFGM-6D Recon Drone, CSB IV EOD Bot, LTLM II PLD, Repair Tool, C-4 Explosives, and missile guidance have all been adjusted to improve reliability, scoring, placement behaviour, and counterplay. UI, HUD and Front-End Improvements: End of Round screens, Loadouts, Challenges, Store previews, Battle Pass pagination, “New” Markers, Player Cards, and menu animations have all been updated to improve clarity and presentation. Portal, Audio, Vehicles and Map Enhancements: Portal gains new SDK support, creator tools, Cairo Bazaar for Verified Portal Modes, and Golmud Railway assets, while audio, vehicle behaviour, spawn points, lighting, and map-specific issues receive further polish as well as an updated Custom Conquest Template from ViperStudiosAndy. CHANGELOG PLAYER: Death animations have been improved to reduce popping, limit excessive movement, and increase reactions from explosive damage. Logistics Expert in the “Support Fire” Support Training Path now applies to Grenade Launchers as well. Teammates being revived now detach properly if they are killed during Drag and Revive. Cancelling Drag and Revive by switching weapons no longer sends the downed player flying. Death animation behaviour has been improved to reduce cases where soldiers travel further behind cover than intended after being eliminated. Death animation impulse is now more consistent across 30Hz and 60Hz experiences. Death animation selection is now more stable, reducing cases where soldiers begin moving in one direction before being corrected in another direction after being eliminated. Deploying on a friendly player no longer causes the screen to remain fully black in some rare cases. Friendly soldiers hidden behind cover now display more reliably when many friendly players are nearby. Health state feedback now reacts faster when transitioning between states, such as from alive to Man Down. Hit effect prediction has been improved to better align blood effects and other impact feedback with the confirmed hit result, especially under higher latency, packet loss, or jitter. Lethal damage now transitions soldiers into their death state more consistently. Lower body rotation now behaves correctly when aiming in first person on moving platforms, such as vehicles or the train on Railway to Golmud. Soldiers are no longer pushed away when jumping into a ceiling. Soldier blood impact effects have been improved for better visibility. Soldier legs now face the correct direction when turning during Combat Dive. Soldier visibility filtering now activates reliably after respawning. Soldier visibility filtering has received a broader pass to improve readability across varied combat environments, including reduced visual noise around enemy soldiers, better adaptation between dark interiors and bright outdoor areas, improved contrast and silhouette definition, more consistent visibility at close and long range, and fewer visual artefacts around soldiers in fog. Spotting and pinging are now more consistent at the perceived edge of Smoke Grenades, without reducing the blocking effect of smoke. VEHICLES: Dev note: We’re making the Radar System passive for the Attack Helicopter an innate ability, equipped by default on all Attack Helicopters. To replace it in the passive equipment slot, we’re adding the new Thermal Optics passive, which adds a thermal camera to the gunner seat that is activated when you zoom. This aids gunners with target acquisition and provides a dedicated passive option for pilots who want to focus primarily on their gunner, rather than their rockets. We’re also introducing two new rocket types for the mobile anti-air in order to improve its flexibility and skill expression. Air vehicle radar and minimap range have been expanded when radar is available. All ground transports other than bikes now have crawl speed functionality when using keyboard input, similar to tanks. Ground transports, excluding bikes, now support crawl speed functionality when using keyboard input, similar to tanks. Increased the Anti-Personnel Shell pellet count for the MBT from 16 to 32. Mobile Anti-Air now has new secondary weapon options with High Velocity Rockets and Laser-Guided AA Missiles. Naming for the PAX Scout Helicopter has been updated to display its correct name, MH-350. The Attack Helicopter Radar System is now innate, and Thermal Optics have been added The ATP Vehicle can now take damage from mounted HMGs and vehicle-mounted LMG weapons. ATP Vehicle Mine Countermeasures now always play a visual effect when detonating mines. New secondary weapon options for Mobile Anti-Air High Velocity Rockets have extremely limited guidance, but are fired rapidly with a higher velocity than other rockets. They require good aim to be effective, but have a higher potential damage output than other options. Aim Guided Anti-Air Missiles carry smaller payloads than the aim guided weapons on other vehicles, but make up for it with substantially improved velocity and maneuverability. GADGETS: Dev note: In Season 2, we reduced the velocity and acceleration of the RPG-7V2 in order to make it require more skill in order to hit aircraft with it. This change has been broadly successful, but the trajectory of the projectile could feel unintuitive to players, often causing them to miss at closer ranges. Based on that, we reworked the RPG projectile trajectory and changed the zeroing range. C-4 detonations triggered with a Drone now award XP. Corrected an issue where the repair tool would get stuck when activating the Engineer's Field Upgrade Ability. CSB IV EOD Bot mines can no longer be placed within 5m of another EOD Bot mine, M15 AV Mine, or M4A1 SLAM. CSB IV EOD Bot mines no longer clip into terrain. Defibrillators now show their charging animation correctly to other players in third-person. Enemy Engineer and Recon gadgets defused by Engineer or Recon players now award XP. Enemy gadgets destroyed with the Repair Tool now award score as intended. Hardware Suppression System now plays the intended weapon locomotion animations when moving while zoomed. Lock-on behaviour has been improved to reduce cases where targets were treated as closer than they actually were. M18A1 AP Mines no longer damages downed players in Multiplayer. M18A1 AP Mines trigger range and fragmentation damage range have been unified at approximately 3m, and Claymore fragmentation no longer deals self-damage. MAS 148 Glaive missile guidance is now more reliable, including improved tracking at low altitudes. If a missile loses tracking, such as after countermeasures are used, it will now continue towards the target’s last known position. Reworked the trajectory of the RPG-7V2 Projectile. Zeroing range reduced from 100m to 22m. The LTLM II Portable Laser Designator can no longer be deployed unintentionally by releasing the zoom and fire buttons at the same time, or by repeatedly pressing fire while zooming and then releasing zoom. The XFGM-6D Recon Drone targeting logic now follows the same behaviour as the DGMK4 Hardware Suppression System, allowing close targets to be destroyed through walls while distant targets require line of sight. TRCRv2 Tracer Darts and Incendiary Airburst gadgets can now be fired while combat diving. Vehicle Supply Stations now also resupply missiles for the Mobile Anti-Air. LWCMS Portable Mortar Dev Note: Since the start of Season 3, we’ve continued to monitor the Portable Mortar and how it performs in stationary playstyles. With this update, we’re further increasing the risk of staying deployed in one location for too long, making it more important to reposition between volleys and avoid return fire from enemy players. So, make sure to pack up and move before the enemy returns fire. Health has been reduced from 250 to 50. Placement animations now end correctly in first and third person when placement is unsuccessful. Placement no longer causes leg desync in third person. Portable Mortar play has been adjusted to encourage more mobile deployment and repositioning. It is now easier to fire and relocate, while static placement is more vulnerable and easier to counter. Replenish time has been increased from 10s to 30s. The “Enter” prompt radius has been decreased from 1.5m to 1m. The “Pick Up” prompt radius has been increased from 1.5m minimum to 1m minimum. The Portable Mortar and Missile Intercept System can no longer be equipped together. The Portable Mortar and Missile Intercept System can no longer be placed near each other. WEAPONS: Adjusted the Kord 6P67 underbarrel slot so attachments are now properly centered. Burst Fire attachments on the GRT-BC, UMG-40, PW5A3, CZ3A1, SG 553R, and Kord 6P67 now apply their effects only to burst fire modes, ensuring the attachment has the intended impact on weapon performance. Corrected a typo in the LMR27 weapon description. Corrected an issue where unlocked attachment slots could appear locked in the customisation screen. Extended Barrels on all weapons now cost 5 points, reduced from 15 points, and no longer provide an aiming down sights time benefit. This change is intended to support greater attachment and weapon build diversity, especially on weapons with fewer barrel options. Hand grips on M16A4 underbarrel attachments now display properly. Incorrect 1.50x Thermal Sight cost has been updated from 15 to 25 points for the L115. Melee attacks now behave more consistently around very thin walls, reducing cases where players could melee through cover or take armour damage while standing too close to it. P18 and Vz.61 tactical reloads can no longer be skipped by repeatedly pressing reload during an empty reload. RPKM and RPK-74M magazine placement has been improved during prone-on-back tactical reloads. SS26 aim position has been improved so shots and hit indicators align correctly with the front sight. Tac-Light Hip and Tac-Light ADS are now unlocked by default for the M45A1 and available to all players. Tac-Light Hip description text has been updated for the RPK-74M and L115. The USG-90 alignment has been updated so that it is now centered correctly in the character’s hands on the Character Customisation screen. Thermal optics now apply exposure more consistently while zoomed, reducing overexposure in the surrounding world view. Weapon attachment poses have been improved for the GRT-CPS, VCR-2, SV-98, Mini Scout, M121 A2, M2010 ESR, and SOR-556 Mk2. MAPS & MODES: Explosive gas cylinders now behave as intended on Railway to Golmud. In Escalation, the Railgun Battle Pickup near Objective D on Mirak Valley has been replaced with a Minigun Battle Pickup. Multiple spawn points have been improved across Eastwood, Saints Quarter, Siege of Cairo, New Sobek City, and Hagental Base. Out-of-bounds access using the Assault Ladder has been closed on Hagental Base. Spawn protection has been expanded on Operation Firestorm to help reduce enemy aircraft pressure near player deployment areas. Vaulting over Deployable Cover in the Hagental Base tunnels no longer pushes soldiers through the ceiling. UI & HUD: Dev Note: With Update 1.3.2.0, we’re making an initial adjustment to how “New” Markers appear in the Play menu. These markers should now reappear less often on tiles that you have already viewed, helping reduce unnecessary visual noise when moving through the menu. This is a first step toward improving the overall marker experience. We know repeated “New” Markers have been frustrating, especially when they return to content you have already seen. We’re working on broader improvements for future seasons to significantly reduce how often this happens, and we’re also planning to add a quicker way to clear markers in an upcoming update. As always, we’ll continue monitoring feedback after release and will keep refining this system to make navigation feel clearer and less disruptive. Accepting the Voice Chat disclaimer while offline no longer triggers error messages. Attack and Defend orders can now be cleared when using the ping clear input from the map. Battle Pass and Store weapon previews now remain centred in their respective menus. Battle Pass item list pagination now displays Z and C key prompts to show keyboard navigation options. Captured points now appear correctly in the top HUD. Challenge navigation while using a controller has been improved, making it easier to select previous weeks in the Challenges menu. Challenges widget now stays within the Pause menu screen boundaries. Damage numbers above 1000 now display the correct vehicle damage value instead of showing 1000. Damaging sniper decoys now show hit indicators, helping reinforce the illusion of hitting a real soldier. Danger pings are no longer placed unintentionally when attempting to spot multiple enemies in quick succession. Dead players no longer block danger pings or spots. Deploy screen PiP camera now displays correctly when viewing players using a Dirt Bike. Focused offers in the Store menu now display the appropriate offer tag icons. Front-end animations have been added for Loadout, Customisation, and Store menus. Golf Cart now has its own world icon instead of using a generic car icon. Headshot hit indicators now display correctly when breaking an enemy player’s armour with a headshot. Hit indicators for soldiers have been adjusted to be less intrusive, sit further from the crosshair or sight, remain more visible on bright backgrounds, and use improved hit and kill indicator animations. Increased the height of the minimap camera from 400m to 700m for aircraft, expanding their range of view. Level 3 “Tracker” description on the Hazmat Breacher Training Path has been updated to better communicate its effective range. Loadouts menu text layout has been improved to prevent overlap. M16A4 Precision stats now display more accurately and no longer show as 0 in some cases. M320A1 SMK Smoke gadget sight UI icon alignment has been improved. Neutral vehicles in team HQs no longer appear twice on the deploy screen. “New” Markers in the Play menu now reappear on previously viewed tiles less frequently. Options section navigation button styling now matches Profile → Stats. Pinged enemy soldiers, enemy vehicles, and downed squad soldiers now display the new Squad Member Ping Bar. Player Card icons now display correctly on the End of Round screen. Quick customisation icons on the deploy screen have been improved for better legibility. Soldier ordering within the “Strix Raiders” and “Task Force Vector” units has been adjusted to better align with their visual class. Players with these soldiers equipped may see them move to their updated class after the update. Spectating a soldier who is remote-controlling an CSB IV EOD Bot from the deploy screen PiP view now shows the EOD Bot camera instead of the soldier camera. Spotted enemies now display more reliably when many enemy icons are visible on screen. The “Devastating Impact” Field Upgrade description now lists the correct value of 25% (instead of 50%). The Big Map and deploy map now support rendering underground areas. The Campaign installation status text now displays your install status correctly. The Challenges End of Round tab now populates correctly after spectating someone. The Dog Tags menu no longer shows the “GO TO STORE” button when it is not applicable. The pre-round header is now hidden when viewing class details to prevent text overlap with the map name. “Top Squad” presentation has been improved and now displays correctly at the End of Round screen. Weapon Mastery levels now display correctly when viewed from the in-game Loadouts menu. Weapon previews now appear sharper in the Loadouts menu after exiting a Portal experience. YOU vs FOE score now counts Bots correctly. SETTINGS: Some changes have been made to improve the consistency and responsiveness of input, specifically for users of some high polling rate devices and PC configurations where stuttering could occur while aiming. The “Deadzone” menu no longer appears unexpectedly after restarting the game. The description for 3D Audio settings has been updated to be more accurate. The “Headphone Width” option description has received a minor spelling correction. Vehicle Mouse Aim Sensitivity values are now consistent throughout the Settings menu. PORTAL: Disclaimer: With this update, some changes may affect existing scripts. After the update goes live, we recommend that players review and test their scripts to ensure everything continues to work as expected. AH-6 LittleBird helicopter spawns now respect the helicopter spawn delay settings. Attachment Size Warning has been added, giving Portal creators a warning when imported script or string files exceed recommended attachment size limits. Background colours have been added to Blockly editor buttons in the top right, improving visibility against blocks in the background. Cairo Bazaar has been added for Verified Portal Modes. Disabled HQs no longer appear on the map. Railway to Golmud assets have been added to the SDK for Portal Custom Experiences. Importing an experience now refreshes the Blockly editor correctly. In-game World Icons are now easier to read, with the default icon size set to 64. MoveObjectOverTime now preserves scaled object visuals properly. Collision volume size was already maintained, and visuals will no longer scale back down to 1. Optimised images on Portal web to improve performance. Portal Action “SetMCOMOwner” now only allows Defenders to defuse the bomb as intended. Portal creators can now reduce one team’s player count to 0 in Custom experiences. Portal Gadget now sends the player object correctly in Aim Start and Aim Stop events. Resolved a delay in updating the amplitude of SFX when using mod.PlaySound() Save messaging is now more consistent and accurate. Script Converter now includes a reminder message to help prevent unintended changes during conversion. SDK documentation now includes the music system in the gameplay logic section. SDK Godot version has been updated from 4.4.1 to 4.6.1. Spawning an object with scale set to 0 no longer causes a client crash. Team-specific UI widgets now appear correctly for players who join late. The new Portal action mod.AutoBalanceTeams has been added, allowing Team 1 and Team 2 to be balanced while maintaining squad composition. This requires matching team and squad sizes. The Night Screen Effect has been added for Portal Custom, alongside a corresponding example script in the SDK. Resolved save errors that occurred when using UTF-8 characters (including emojis and symbols) in script and string attachments. ViperStudiosAndy Portal Custom Conquest Template Creator Note: When using Conquest Assault, we recommend turning off TotalControlTicketBleed. Conquest Assault disables the HQ with ObjID 2, which is the default for Team 2. In Update 1.2.3.0, HQs now appear on the map, but disabling HQs does not remove them from the map. Team 2 custom bots will stop spawning if there are no valid positions, while Backfill and Static ignore this and deploy on disabled HQs. When using Conquest Assault, we recommend using a Spatial version without Team 2 HQs to avoid this, or using Custom Bots. Air Combat Logic has been removed, as it is no longer required with Surrounding Combat Area functionality now working. Air vehicles can now access the official surrounding combat area. Andy’s Custom Conquest Template has been updated in the official SDK to version 10.0. Bots now support the Conquest Assault logic. Bots will now leave vehicles if they are unable to continue driving. Complex 3 has been added, with special thanks to Mancour. Conquest Assault toggle has been added. Custom out-of-bounds logic has been kept for backward compatibility.

Starting tickets per team have been added for Conquest Assault. The template now uses official Combat Area, official Surrounding Combat Area, and official Exclusive HQ areas. UI no longer flashes when players join. UI now clears when undeploying in rare cases where the exit capture point does not trigger the player UI to clear. AUDIO: New behaviours for crawl speed audio have been added for Quad Bikes, ATP Vehicles, Golf Carts, and Armored Transport Vehicles, as well as a finer tuning of the Vector, Flyer 60, and Jeep/Truck crawl speed behaviours. Parachute audio now stops correctly for soldiers who are downed or killed while their parachute is in use. Spot Ping has been updated with a more recognisable sound, and Squad Ping volume has been slightly increased. AI: Corrected an issue where bots were avoiding stationary friendly and neutral vehicles. REDSEC PLAYER: Battle Royale Solo Handler voice-over lines have received grammar improvements. Battle Royale “Evasion” and “Headhunter” missions now complete correctly when the targeted player is downed. Failing missions while targeted no longer awards XP or mission completion. Players no longer jump when accepting missions in Battle Royale. Fixed wrong loot being awarded in air drop containers as well as air drop containers containing no loot inside. GADGETS: Gadgets placed on the extraction drone landing pad in Gauntlet are now destroyed when the drone lands. MAS 148 Glaive placement has been improved when dropped as loot in Battle Royale, preventing it from clipping into the ground. MAP: AI pathfinding has been improved to help soldiers navigate down from elevated positions more reliably. Airdrop containers now remain stable on mild slopes, improving the looting experience. Lighting has been improved to address blown-out visuals across the Lighthouse area. Out-of-bounds access using the Assault Ladder has been closed across the map. Supply crate fall animations now play correctly without repeating. Supply drop containers now collide with vehicles as intended. Battle Royale Data Drive drops now display the intended game mode message. Insertion helicopters now maintain proper spacing during round start. Gauntlet Fast Rope insertion now spawns rope and helicopter meshes correctly. Heist Caches now spawn in their intended locations. M-COMs in Gauntlet: Wreckage can now be interacted with from all angles. Mission objects no longer cause vehicles to move when landing on them. Tank Containers now close properly when a wrecked vehicle or player is near the container. Vehicle containers in Gauntlet: Rodeo now award 3 points when opened, in addition to the mission’s other scoring criteria. UI & HUD: Action prompts have been added to loot safes in REDSEC, replacing the in-world icon variant. Corrected an issue where loot outlines for Safes would sometimes show the incorrect state (open vs close). Elite 250 End of Season Rewards now show more accurate unlock criteria in Loadouts. End of Round Summary colours have been adjusted for Ranked Battle Royale Quads. Enemy Armour hit indicators in REDSEC are now easier to read when the enemy has low armour remaining. Loot outlines now use the correct rarity colour when revealing loot crates around the player upon landing. RPKM thumbnails now display properly in Player Profile Statistics when a Bipod is attached. The minimap now displays a TRACKED indicator when the player is revealed during missions. White outline loot glint no longer remains on the back of lootable Cargo Vans after they have been opened. World Event custom weapon drops now show the correct icon when a player has already received a Mission Reward custom weapon drop. Battle Royale Bolt Cutter pickups and drops now display their intended game mode message. End of Round sequence now preserves the Profile Menu camera correctly. Mission titles now appear correctly in the Mission Menu. Picking up the bomb in the Wreckage mission no longer briefly displays a player's name. Threat Tracker accuracy has been improved for enemy distance to mission objectives. Gauntlet Heist base outlines now appear correctly in the Underground POI layout. AUDIO: Arming a Bomb in the Demolition mission now plays the correct sound effect. Battle Royale insertion no longer triggers unintended soldier effort audio. Missile Strike call-ins in Battle Royale now use the correct voice line. The menu arrival sound no longer plays when opening the Commorose in Battle Royale. This announcement may change as we listen to community feedback and continue developing and evolving our Live Service & Content. We will always strive to keep our community as informed as possible.Battlefield 6 - Community Update - What’s Coming in the Final Phase of Season 3
Gameplay Improvements Gunplay Changes Vehicle Updates Front End Improvements New Content Tactical Obliteration Wet Work Event REDSEC Battle Royale Battle Royale Solos Ranked Battle Royale Portal More to Come Hey everyone, Since the launch of the Blastpoint Update, we’ve loved seeing the community jump into the new content and experience a whole new chaos within Battlefield 6. From the return of Obliteration to the fight for control across Cairo Bazaar, Blastpoint has delivered plenty of memorable moments, clutch plays, and feedback for the teams to dig into. We are continuing to work towards improving the game, with updates to gunplay, vehicles, and more coming your way in the last phase of Season 3 on June 30. Gameplay Improvements Gunplay Changes We’re making a broader set of gunplay improvements with the next content update, focused on making infantry combat feel more consistent, readable, and rewarding to master. These updates enhance several key areas of gunplay, including recoil behavior, dispersion, weapon handling, limb-modifier tuning, bullet velocity, drag, and more. The goal is to further reward good aim, recoil control, shooting technique, and weapon knowledge. We’re also continuing work on related combat improvements, including soldier visibility and netcode updates that support more consistent moment-to-moment combat readability. There’s a lot to cover here, so we’ll be sharing a dedicated deep dive into all the changes in a later post. That piece will walk through the design intent behind these changes, what we’re adjusting, and how we expect them to shape combat moving forward. Vehicle Updates We’re making a set of vehicle balance updates aimed at improving combat flow across armor, air, anti-air, and infantry counterplay. Thermal Smoke will be less effective at mitigating incoming damage and will no longer remove C4 when activated. RPG damage is also receiving a slight increase against tanks and helicopters, giving infantry a bit more pressure against vehicle targets. Additional vehicle tuning includes updates to IFV weapons, Attack Helicopter rockets, Mobile Anti-Air ammo, and more. Full details for all vehicle balance changes will be shared in the upcoming Update Notes. Automated Anti-Air behavior is also being updated. The AA Station was giving land vehicles too much protection near spawn, which could encourage frustrating spawn camping. To combat this, it is being updated to shoot down fewer projectile types and will no longer retaliate for damage dealt to land vehicles. Retaliation behavior will also time out after 20 seconds instead of continuing indefinitely. Front End Improvements New Clear Orange Dots Button Building on adjustments made in the Blastpoint Update that addressed “New” Markers reappearing too frequently on previously viewed content, we’re adding a new “Mark All Seen” button to several front-end scenes. This button will allow players to quickly clear all markers in the following sections respectively: Loadouts Battle Pass Store Profile Challenges Play We’re continuing to improve these markers so they remain a useful way to discover new content without becoming noise. New Event Menu We’re introducing a new Event Menu alongside the new event, Wet Work, which we dig into more in a later section. This new menu will bring event challenges and rewards together in one place, making it easier to see what’s available, what you can earn, and how to unlock it. The menu will also connect players to relevant Event Modes and Event Store Bundles. The goal is simple: fewer clicks, clearer rewards, and a better overview of each active event. XP Booster Quality-of-Life Update We’re also improving how XP Boosters interact with Match Bonus XP. Previously, if an XP Booster expired before the end of a match, it could miss out on applying to the Match Bonus awarded at the end of that round. With this update, XP Boosters will provide a partial XP multiplier to Match Bonus based on the amount of time they were active during the match, even if the booster expires before the match ends. New Content Tactical Obliteration We’re adding Tactical Obliteration, a smaller, infantry-focused variant following our addition of Obliteration in the Blastpoint Update. Obliteration has been at its best when the whole lobby is laser focused on the objective, creating a fast, chaotic fight where every push can swing the match. Tactical Obliteration keeps that same objective-driven core, but brings it into a tighter format built around infantry combat, flanking, coordinated attacks, and M-COM counterplay. In this mode, teams need to destroy two of the enemy’s three M-COMs to win, with shorter match timing, no vehicles, and focused layouts that give squads more room to cut off the Bomb Carrier, set traps around objectives, regroup, and support teammates between pushes. Tactical Obliteration will be available on four maps at launch: Cairo Bazaar, Iberian Offensive, Empire State, and Siege of Cairo. We’re excited to see the chaos this brings to the Battlefield experience. Wet Work Event The Wet Work Event arrives with Season 3’s High-Value Target Update, bringing a new contract-focused experience across Multiplayer and REDSEC. During the event, players can pick up Contracts dropped by eliminated enemies and complete mid-match objectives ranging from eliminations and looting Chests to capturing objectives or staying alive. Whether you’re hunting targets in REDSEC or pushing objectives in Multiplayer, Wet Work is all about taking the contract, staying alive, and finishing the job. We’ll dive deeper into the details of this event in a later post. REDSEC Battle Royale Casual Battle Royale Some of you have been asking for a more casual experience, so we’re bringing Casual Battle Royale, a mode designed for those chill game nights. This mode will include bots to help create more manageable combat engagements, smoother match flow, and a more approachable environment for players learning the mode, trying new classes and loadouts, or warming up before higher-stakes matches. Bots are designed to support the overall pacing of the match while still keeping the focus on player-driven encounters. We’ll continue improving their behavior over time and will be watching closely to make sure they support the experience without taking away from what makes Battle Royale exciting. More details on this mode are coming soon. Chest Resetting We’re making an update to help address loot scarcity during the middle phase of Battle Royale matches. When Second Chance is disabled globally in a match, normal Armory Crates, Class Armory Crates, and Tactical Armory Crates will reset and become lootable again. This means already opened crates can repopulate with items during the mid-game, giving players more opportunities to recover, rearm, and stay in the fight. New Recon Training Path We’re adding a new Recon Training Path called “Disruptor” into BR, which is focused on disruption, counter-intel, and shutting down enemy tools. This Training Path brings two gadgets to BR for the first time: the Hardware Suppression System and the Handheld Jammer. The Hardware Suppression System gives Recon players a defensive option for protecting their squad from nearby electronic and explosive gadgets, with one of its Field Upgrades expanding that utility by allowing it to shoot down enemy UAV call-ins. The Handheld Jammer gives Recon a more active disruption tool for close-range counter-gadget play. When activated, it can temporarily disrupt enemy equipment within range, creating openings for your squad to push or reposition. Together, these gadgets give Recon players more ways to deny enemy intel and disrupt gadget-heavy setups, while rewarding smart positioning and timing. Headhunter Mission Disabled As a quick follow-up, the Headhunter mission remains disabled in all Battle Royale modes while we continue to fine-tune the experience based on your feedback. We appreciate you helping us shape the mode, and we’re continuing to listen to your thoughts as we work to get it right. Battle Royale Solos Since the launch of Battle Royale Solos, we’ve been monitoring your feedback and how the mode is playing in live matches. One early adjustment we made was removing the Traverser Mark 2 from Solos while we review its impact on match balance and the overall experience. Solos has its own pace and pressure compared to squad play, and we wanted to make sure the tools available in the mode supported that experience. We’ll continue monitoring gameplay, listening to your feedback, and making further adjustments where needed. Ranked Battle Royale The current Ranked Battle Royale season will end on July 14, one week before Season 3 concludes. Your end-of-season rank will help determine your starting rank when Season 4 begins, as well as the rewards you’ll receive for your performance this season. We’ll share more details on the Ranked Battle Royale season transition, timing, and rewards in a later post. Portal Cairo Bazaar Players will be able to create Custom Cairo Bazaar experiences. This smaller map, which focuses on infantry gameplay with limited ground vehicles, is inspired by a Battlefield 3 classic, Grand Bazaar, and we can’t wait to see what the community builds! Obliteration The iconic Battlefield 4 Multiplayer experience returns with a new epic evolution, now available in Verified Portal starting June 30. Obliteration is a battle to destroy enemy M-COMs (Military Communications) using bombs placed neutrally on each map. Both sides must risk everything to get the bomb, escort their carrier to the detonation site, and obliterate the enemy. Tactical Obliteration The classic Obliteration mode emphasizes individual squad play through an 8v8 grudge match, available in Verified Portal on June 30. This competitive, high-stakes experience is meant for squads who mastered coordinated objective play. With only one other squad to rely on, how will your squad step up and blow away the competition? Squad Deathmatch Grab a gun and squad up for a fast-paced, close-quarters deathmatch, available in Verified Portal on June 30. Four squads compete for victory with one simple objective: First to reach the kill target wins. Team Deathmatch Pure infantry-focused, high-intensity combat, available in Verified Portal on June 30. In TDM, the only objective is to take out the enemy. Most kills wins. Moving Platforms MovingPlatform is an asset type that drastically improves player interaction with a moving physics body. One major advantage of the Moving Platform system is that players will no longer experience excessive jittering while riding platforms, allowing gameplay elements such as jump puzzles to feel much smoother and more reliable. You'll also have control over how your platforms behave through the functions we're providing. Move them up, down, left, or right, or get more creative by having them follow custom paths, including orbital movement. Vehicle Impulse Function Vehicle impulse functions enable creators to simulate physics through Blockly or TypeScript in Battlefield 6 and REDSEC. Physics impulses apply impulse directly to a single vehicle or vehicles in an area, similar to an explosion, with optional damage settings. These impulses can be triggered by proximity (with adjustable range), timers (set on placement or activation), or interactive triggers like volumes, pressure plates, or tripwires. Bellum1988's Operation Metro We're bringing Bellum1988’s custom Operation Metro map to the Portal SDK and map rotation, built using the Empire State (Aftermath) map and assets. This gives players access to a popular community-made map that they can explore, customize, and use as a foundation for new creations. This map will also feature baked lighting, delivering higher-quality lighting and visual fidelity. More to Come We’ve seen a notable improvement in balance following recent changes to experiences like Eastwood Escalation, and we want to thank everyone who has continued sharing feedback. Battlefield is at its best when we’re building it together with you. Your feedback helps us understand where the experience is landing well, where we need to take another look, and where future improvements can make the biggest difference.
