While Battlefield 6 reaches a symbolic milestone with the launch of its first season, the developers have worked hard to correct structural problems reported since the launch of the game. Among the many new features to come, a major overhaul of the shooting system promises to transform the combat experience. And that’s just the surface: this update also ushers in a host of new features, between new content, performance improvements and persistent rumors of a Battle Royale mode.
Weapon accuracy: the end of a nightmare for seasoned shooters
One of the most frequent criticisms addressed to Battlefield 6 concerns the erratic accuracy of weapons, especially in sustained combat. The players experienced a inconsistent bullet dispersionmaking duels frustrating, even with perfect aim.
The developers are finally addressing this issue with a overhaul of the ballistic dispersion system. Concretely, each weapon will see its precision, maneuverability and recoil behavior recalibrated according to its type, its optimal range and its role on the battlefield. No more shots deflecting for no reason: the player’s aiming skills will be better rewarded.
What changes in gameplay
The October 28 update (patch 1.1.1.0) doesn’t stop at bullets. It reviews the very framework of the game through several axes:
➤ Fluidity of movements

- Faster posture transitions
- More responsive behavior when crossing obstacles
➤ Visual quality
- Reworked lighting effectswith better exposure in interiors

➤ Interface and HUD

- New indicators progress and goals
- End of Round UI Improvements
