Battlefield 6 fans are warning players about one of the gadgets available in the shooter, suggesting that the smoke mortar is a sub-par option fans should avoid. The massively popular shooter gives fans a variety of ways to play the game with lots to do, boasting both multiple game modes and several different maps. Battlefield 6 boasts nine different game modes alongside the same number of maps with unique settings for players to explore. However, the real meat of Battlefield 6 comes with the array of weapons for players to choose from.
Battlefield 6 offers fans no shortage of options to gear up for taking down their enemies in-game, with a wide selection of guns and vehicles to wield in battle. Battlefield 6 offers 45 weapons players can utilize in combat, varying between close-range weapons like pistols and shotguns and long-range sniper rifles and assault rifles. More than 15 different vehicles are also available for players to pilot within Battlefield 6, including both ground vehicles and aerial options like jets and helicopters. Now, fans are warning about one particularly bad Battlefield 6 weapon.
Battlefield 6 Fans Share Franchise Features They Want to Return
Battlefield 6 fans are sharing a plethora of features from previous game they want to see return to the beloved shooter franchise's newest entry.
Popular Battlefield Twitter account Battlefield 6 Media shared the warning about one particularly underperforming gadget within the shooter. The video showcases a Battlefield 6 player using the smoke mortar, meant to obscure the player or target by deploying a smokescreen from a distance. The showcase criticizes the smoke mortar's smokescreen, particularly for its size, with the cloud of smoke produced by the mortar being incredibly small and not lasting very long. The smoke cloud also barely rises high enough off the ground to obscure the player's whole body and quickly fades to just a small cloud on the ground.
Battlefield 6 Players Should Avoid the Smoke Mortar
The pitiful smoke cloud saw similar complaints echoed from many fans in the replies to the post. Many fans criticize the smoke mortar's ineffectiveness when compared to another smoke-producing item, with the smoke grenade creating a much larger smoke cloud in comparison. Others called into question the quality of the game's mortars as a whole, feeling that they are a weaker gadget option when compared to other choices. Some fans suggested that the mortars might not have been properly tested before being implemented into the game.
Battlefield 6's massive early success has not been without criticism from fans expecting more of the long-awaited new entry in the franchise. Fans have noticed several past features that were removed in Battlefield 6, including the lack of dynamic weather within the game. Battlefield 6 has also not been free of cheaters making their way into the multiplayer game modes, despite the strict Javelin anti-cheat system implemented by EA. While Battlefield 6 has seen roaring popularity, the most dedicated fans have still managed to poke some holes in the game.
