Battlefield 6’s Season 1 patch will handle weapon bloom, tweak motion, enhance visibility, and alter (a few of) these depressing challenges

The Battlefield 6 honeymoon part is nearing its finish. Whereas the sport stays fashionable and extremely nicely acquired, a couple of points have lingered round since launch they usually’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 manner of addressing any main launch issues alongside, in fact, including new content material to the sport.

First issues first, the Season 1 replace will really 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 move and so forth – might be going dwell later within the day, at 8am PT, 11am ET, 3pm UK.

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

One of many greatest adjustments on this replace involves participant motion. The sport’s motion is being adjusted but once more, this time to make it extra in step with the builders’ unique design objectives. 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 concentrate on 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 move 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 might be extra succesful at vary than SMGs, which isn’t at present the case. General, you must discover much less dispersion.

Certainly, a few of the inaccuracies gamers perceived needed to do with bugs relatively than supposed design. Your weapon ought to now not be as inaccurate because it at present could be after being fired instantly following a dash.

Common participant visibility has been one other sizzling matter since launch. BF Studios doesn’t promise main adjustments for that on this explicit replace, however you’re going to note that it’s simpler to see individuals inside buildings when wanting from exterior, and vice versa. Extra significant adjustments 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 are able to’t have a BF6 story with out speaking about development. Whereas the sport has already seen a couple of adjustments 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 “no less than two updates.” The builders’ heads are in the suitable place, no less than, with plans to cut back the required kills for Assault Class Task 1 to three (down from 30), and the Engineer Professional 3’s car restore purpose to 1,000 from 6,000. And sure, the dreaded “headshot kills over 200M with Sniper Rifles” one is being adjusted, as is the required distance itself.
