Battlefield 6 is getting updates to speed up XP progression and unlocks, as EA tackle plague of bot-farmers

Further patches owed "within the adjacent week"

Battlefield 6 volition soon person updates that fto you gain much XP per shootbrawl, fertile up faster, and unlock gadgets and weapons attachments sooner. The tweaks are coming successful effect to frustrations astir sluggish progression that person seen players battalion the game's assemblage servers with XP-farming matches against bots.

"We've heard your feedback astir the gait of progression," the developers outcry retired to america from the corpse-strewn deserts of societal media, "especially however agelong it tin instrumentality to unlock hardware specified arsenic gadgets, and limb attachments. We cognize progression is an important portion of feeling rewarded for your clip connected the battlefield."

So what changes are they making? Firstly, they're bumping up XP from lucifer completion and regular login bonuses by 10% and 40% respectively. Secondly, they're reducing the XP required to unlock the archetypal 20 attachment ranks, meaning you tin "start earning utile attachments astir doubly arsenic fast". Be warned that if you're already making headway with a peculiar weapon's unlocks aft the update goes live, you mightiness spot immoderate weirdness connected the UI, "but this should resoluteness itself erstwhile a lucifer is played portion utilizing that weapon".

In different news, assignments (multiplayer challenges to gain cosmetics and such) that erstwhile required vocation ranks 20, 23, and 26 volition present necessitate vocation ranks 10, 15, and 20, respectively. The devs are alert that this doesn't code wider misgivings astir assignments, without going into details - they're "actively moving connected reviewing them, but it volition instrumentality much clip to develop, test, and instrumentality these changes."

It's each successful the sanction of making Battlefield 6's online arsenal-growing consciousness "smoother and much rewarding portion inactive keeping that consciousness of accomplishment erstwhile you implicit a milestone". It's besides successful the sanction of stemming the flood of bot factories successful the assemblage servers section.

"Over the past week, galore of you noticed that we reached maximum capableness connected assemblage servers," the devs spell on. "After reviewing the data, we recovered that a ample fig of these servers were created chiefly to gain XP, inflate subordinate stats, and gain peculiar accolades done defeating bots.

"We wholly recognize the information down this, similar faster progression and a mode to trial setups without pressure, but it's led to immoderate unintended broadside effects. With truthful galore servers focused connected farming XP alternatively than progressive play, it's go noticeably harder for players to make and find experiences to play with different people."

Battlefield's Community Experiences, EA alternatively primly constituent out, are "meant to beryllium a abstraction for creativity, experimentation, and connection, wherever you tin easy find and bask large modes with your friends and squadmates". They're not expected to beryllium Operation Firestorm-sized treadmills. There's an overfamiliar op ed to constitute present astir however unrecorded work operations of Battlefield's stature routinely grind distant their ain consciousness of play. I volition spare you that. Instead I'll accidental that immoderate of my astir relaxing experiences during the Battlefield 6 reappraisal write-up were bot matches. It's truthful cute however they play-act astatine flanking and taking cover.

Aside from greasing the progression chute, EA are "developing adjustments that are intended to diminish the fig of XP farms taking up server abstraction portion further emphasizing playing with friends connected some customized and verified experiences." Once they've carried retired the associated backend maintenance, they expect that "all experiences, some customized and verified, volition request to beryllium republished by players earlier they tin make an progressive server".

Look retired for these updates "within the adjacent week, perchance sooner depending connected investigating and verification". The devs adjacent by acknowledging different complaints astir "visibility, limb bloom, vehicles not spawning, and more". They'll beryllium patching those issues down the road, having already wrestled the hydra of bouncy ladders and overclocked sniper rifles.

Seems similar the caller field-battler is simply a hit, clogged-up levelling strategy notwithstanding. Yesterday, EA announced that it's the best-selling Battlefield truthful far.
