New Battlefield 6 Update Removes Fan-Favorite Glitch; Full Patch Notes Revealed

A brand new update to Battlefield 6 has been announced, and it fixes some major issues in the game, including one that some fans enjoyed. Although Battlefield 6 launched to high-praise last month, there were some critiques that fans had that have taken some time to address. Battlefield Studios worked hard on getting a completed game off the ground and then quickly followed it up with the start of Season 1, which saw new maps, modes, weapons, and a battle pass begin rolling out into the game. However, the biggest update came in the form of Battlefield REDSEC, a standalone free-to-play game that includes a hefty battle royale.

Now that a lot of that extra content is deployed, Battlefield 6 has been receiving fairly regular updates that fix some of the biggest issues in the game. Fans have had a lot to say about how flairs and anti-air weaponry work, how weapon bloom impacts the gunplay in the game, and much more. There’s been a pretty open dialogue with fans on what is and isn’t intended in Battlefield 6 alongside these updates, so players can know that things they’re saying are being addressed one way or another. With that said, a brand new update will be released tomorrow and we have the patch notes!

Battlefield 6 1.1.1.5 Update Patch Notes Revealed

This new Battlefield 6 update will make fixes to ensure lock-guided missiles will be properly counted by flares, made a number of technical changes, and much more. One of the biggest fixes will remove the ability to use a recon drone to get to other areas. This is a fan-favorite technique where players hop on a drone and hit it with a sledgehammer, causing it to fly upward. It was useful for flanking enemies without using ziplines or stairs and getting into otherwise inaccessible areas, but it was a bit of a problem and immersion-breaking, so it is being taken out.

You can find the full patch notes below.
