EA releases a server-side update to Battlefield 6, making backend changes to specific parts of the game, including weapon adjustments. After a record-breaking beta test just a few months ago, Battlefield 6 is finally available for everyone and so far, the game is already dominating the sales charts.

With strong word of mouth alongside strong reviews from critics, Battlefield 6 appears to be in position to be one of the biggest launches for the franchise. In only a few days, Battlefield 6 is already topping sales charts, and the game was able to make over $100 million from Steam alone on launch day. Still, EA isn't resting on a strong launch, as the publisher and its collective development studios continue to tweak and adjust the experience for its players.

Battlefield 6 Backend Server Updates

In a post on the official Battlefield Comms social media channel, Battlefield 6 received a new update which was applied to the backend, meaning no download was required from the player's side. The changes are fairly short, unlike a traditional patch, with one of the main tweaks adjusting the ticket count for Battlefield 6's popular Rush game mode going from 75 to 100.

Alongside Rush, the server update also made tweaks to a few of the weapons in Battlefield 6. All shotgun projectiles are now impacted by drag, which aims to prevent players from using them at extreme ranges instead of being much closer as intended. The muzzle velocity for the M2010 ESR and PSR sniper rifles has also been lowered. The M2010 went from 900 to 800 m/s while the PSR received a smaller adjustment from 750 to 720 m/s.

The moves have been well received by players, though the community continues to push back on some of the bigger problems. In fact, many have already started to list some features and elements they'd like to see changed. Weapon bloom, a mechanic that controls the spread when a gun is fired, is one such element that fans seem to have an issue with. Many in the community have called for EA to tone down Battlefield 6's weapon bloom, posting clips and videos of shots that are not being counted as hits or randomly missing the target even when scoped in on the enemy player. Interestingly enough, Battlefield 2042 had a similar issue, one that DICE eventually adjusted.
