Battlefield 6’s Season 1 patch will address weapon bloom, tweak movement, improve visibility, and change (some of) those miserable challenges

The Battlefield 6 honeymoon part is nearing its finish. Whereas the sport stays common and extremely nicely obtained, a couple of points have lingered round since launch and so they’re beginning to flip into an issue.

As has at all times been the plan, Battlefield Studios wished the sport’s first season to reach shortly after launch, maybe as a means of addressing any main launch issues alongside, in fact, including new content material to the sport.

First issues first, the Season 1 replace will truly be going dwell previous to Season 1’s begin on Tuesday, October 28. It should hit at 2am PT, 5am ET, 9am UK. Season 1 content material itself – new maps, the battle cross and so forth – will likely be going dwell later within the day, at 8am PT, 11am ET, 3pm UK.

Battlefield Studios shared the total change log for replace 1.1.1.0, however the developer additionally supplied a deeper dive into the philosophy behind a few of these modifications, and what the assorted studios are engaged on past this preliminary patch.

One of many largest modifications on this replace involves participant motion. The sport’s motion is being adjusted but once more, this time to make it extra in line with the builders’ authentic design targets. You possibly can anticipate sure animations to be sooner and extra correct, in addition to a sooner accuracy reset after touchdown from a leap or sliding. Situations of bouncy landings also needs to be lowered.

Talking of accuracy, there’s a giant deal with BF6’s usually mentioned weapon bloom/unfold on this replace. You possibly can anticipate extra exact aiming, a lot much less reticle motion, and a big cross to weapon dispersion throughout the board.

These primarily have an effect on the variations that ought to exist between weapon courses when combating at vary, in order that presumably means ARs will likely be extra succesful at vary than SMGs, which isn’t presently the case. General, you must discover much less dispersion.

Certainly, a number of the inaccuracies gamers perceived needed to do with bugs slightly than supposed design. Your weapon ought to not be as inaccurate because it presently may be after being fired instantly following a dash.

Normal participant visibility has been one other scorching matter since launch. BF Studios doesn’t promise main modifications for that on this explicit replace, however you’re going to note that it’s simpler to see folks inside buildings when trying from outdoors, and vice versa. Extra significant modifications in these areas are within the works (coming later in S1) to make these transitions from indoors to open air (and vice versa) much less of a headache.

After all, we will’t have a BF6 story with out speaking about development. Whereas the sport has already seen a couple of modifications to weapon and profession XP earn charges, class and different challenges stay a serious drag.

BF Studios is engaged on adjusting practically all of these challenges’ necessities. Sadly, it’s going to take time for us to see them in-game, as they’re going to be rolling out over “a minimum of two updates.” The builders’ heads are in the precise place, a minimum of, with plans to scale back the required kills for Assault Class Task 1 to three (down from 30), and the Engineer Skilled 3’s automobile restore purpose to 1,000 from 6,000.
