LOOKING BACK ON ONE YEAR
This October Battlefield 6 turns one year old. Since then, we've worked closely with players through Battlefield Labs and live game feedback to evolve and improve the Battlefield experience. Over the last year, we've added four seasons of content, brought back fan-favorite maps like Railway to Golmud and Wake Island, and introduced Naval Warfare. We've also spent that time improving the core Battlefield experience across Battlefield 6 and REDSEC, including combat.
That work has included faster progression, ongoing work for balance between land, air, and naval combat, and Aim Assist tuning that more closely matches the feel of the Open Beta.
As shared in our Battlefield Combat - Gunplay update, we’ve also adjusted recoil and body damage multipliers to make close-range firefights and Time-To-Kill feel more rewarding while placing greater emphasis on precision at longer ranges and refining the “Sweet Spot” range for each sniper rifle.
And we’re not done yet.
SEASON 5 EVOLUTIONS
Season 5 marks the start of Year 2 for Battlefield 6 and REDSEC.
A few weeks ago, we announced the return of the Open + Elite Series, and the arrival of Rapid Royale, a new way to experience REDSEC that shortens match time and ratchets up the intensity. We'll be sharing much more about Season 5 shortly, but today we're taking an early look at some of the combat and gameplay changes we're currently exploring this season.
