Battlefield 6 Patch Notes for the Day One
EA changes posted on X include more than 200 different improvements, mainly in terms of fixing bugs, balance and polishes before the release. These are:
- Improved movement responsiveness – thanks to pacing tweaks and fixes that ensure smoother and more balanced gameplay.
- Weapon recoil changes – automatic weapons now feature refined recoil, making long-range fights more rewarding for players who master tap firing and burst control. Weapon attachments have also been fixed and now display correctly in menus and in-game.
- Map reworks – Rush and Breakthrough layouts updated for better attacker-defender balance. Improvements were also introduced to mods in terms of performance and several issues, for instance improved lightning in Operation Firestorm.
- New default gadgets – LTLM II (Laser Designator) has been updated with improved visuals, smoother operation, and better animations. The MBT-LAW now features an improved trajectory and enhanced sights. There are also upgrades in better missile behavior and visuals in the MAS 148 Glaive as well as improved balance in Deploy Beacons by limited one spawn per player option (four per squad total).
- UI clarity – UI settings as well as HUD elements have been refined with cleaner overlays, dynamic pings and additional minimap settings.
- Audio fixes – sounds of weapons are more intense and pings are much easier to hear, with fixed glitches such as delayed effects.
- Reduced network desync – network improvements decreased desync, death timing feels fairer, with fixes for hidden damage.
Many of these changes were informed by more than 92 million hours played in the open beta. This player feedback definitely brought a huge development in the game.
