Battlefield Studios, the collective name for the development teams working on Battlefield 6 (DICE, Ripple Effect Studios, Criterion Games, and Motive Studio), announced that a few balancing tweaks were rolled out to the game without the need for players to download a patch.
You can find the changes below:
- Increased ticket count for some maps on the Rush game mode to the intended amount of 100 (up from 75).
- Reduced the muzzle velocity of the M2010 ESR from 900 to 800 m/s
- Reduced the muzzle velocity of the PSR from 750 to 720 m/s
- Shotgun projectiles will now take drag into account.
Of course, this is just the beginning of the balancing effort. While the game launched in a solid state, leading to concurrency records on Steam and very positive reviews from critics (including ours), the community has already requested other changes and the developers will have to continue monitoring the live service situation.
In other news, Reddit users have started reporting that the developers' partnership with Sony and Microsoft against the usage of Cronus Zen devices for cheats is paying off. The first permabans have already been dealt, and indeed, the people behind the Cronus Zen have reportedly recommended avoiding using the device for now:
We're currently advising all Battlefield 6 players, especially those on PC using the Zen with any of our latest scripts, to pause usage for now. The team is actively testing to understand what's causing it and ensure everything remains safe and stable. Please avoid using the Zen in Battlefield 6 until we confirm it's fine to resume. We also ask that no one publicly shares or discusses any bans — this draws unnecessary attention to the community and makes testing more difficult.
