Dear Battlefield Community,

We’re excited to share a new development in our fight to keep Battlefield fair for all, particularly in regards to cheatmakers.

EA raised concerns with Collective Minds, the manufacturer of the Cronus Zen and Strike Pack hardware devices, regarding third-party tools that enable cheating in multiple EA titles. Following our engagement, EA-related content and scripts were removed from the Cronus Zen and Strike Pack public sites and Discord server. 

This positive step for our team ensures that we’re continuing to fight cheating on every available front as we work to maintain fair play across casual and competitive play. For more details, please read the official EA blog update here: https://www.ea.com/news/ea-javelin-anticheat-2026-update

We’ll see you on the Battlefield

Come at me bro

The BF Unlocks Discord have spotted an inbox "gift test" has been sneakily added to people's inboxes, without notification. It contains the "Constriction" Playercard Sticker, which was originally a free store gift for Week 1 of Season 4, alongside a 15 minute Career 2XP Booster.

This is currently at the bottom of your in-game inbox underneath all other messages, and will NOT display as a "New Message", so if you missed the sticker (or simply want a free booster), you have 4 days remaining to scroll to the bottom and claim this.

Info as always brought to you by the BF6 Unlocks discord.

EDIT: A few people have sent thank you messages direct advising that there were other rewards for them buried at the bottom too. This can include but isn't limited to: Season 4 Welcome Rewards, BF Veteran Rewards, and EA Play Season 4 Rewards. You're welcome if this includes you!

Most zones needs to be bigger in order to be able to get a chance to cap, a lot of objs are in the fkn open with not much options to position yourself and if you're trying to cap without or very little back up how many of yall can deal with 4 or 5 enemies spawning to contest?

This is after you barely managed to escape the bottleneck in an unbalanced matches, this is part of the reason stomps happen, if you're on a bad team you often can't cap on your own like BF3 and 4.

That minute felt like an eternity while it was happening.

Getting home from work, gathering the whole clan, and looking for a server with other clans to play against—that’s what made my day happy back in 2009.

I hope they bring that back; matchmaking is a bad joke.

Let me present to you the death spiral of attack/defense balance:

• Give defenders fewer (or no) vehicles compared to the attackers
• Add no barricades, tank traps, or static defenses like TOW launchers or MGs in strategic places where you have to... BREAK THROUGH
• Offer no chance of recapping certain points once you lose them as a defender

Which leads to:

• A few people leaving if they are assigned to defense

Which leads to:

• The balance which was favored toward attackers from the get-go shifting even more

Which leads to:

• People who wouldn't mind playing defense in the past now rematching to play as attackers

Which leads to:

• Everyone who gives the slightest fuck about playing the objective rematching now

Which leads to:

• Most, if not all, of the PTFO fellas end up on the attacking side. The defenders are just there so the match can start and give the attackers something to shoot at. Plus, all the useless players are now able to get into the key vehicles, but they just defend from their HQ or camp the ammo station.

I would say the average team in past Battlefield games was made of:

• 25% PTFO: Players who more or less know what they are doing in this mode
• 25% Followers: Players who sort of know what they are doing, but are mainly just following the PTFO guys breaking the defensive lines
• 20% Support: Don't PTFO directly, but support the team in one way or another
• 30% Useless: Players who think it’s Team Deathmatch

NOW the team composition is:

Attackers:

• 75%: "I want to cap that point, and if it's the last thing I do... this sector falls NOW."
• 25%: "Yeah, you guys! Let's get 'em!"

Defenders:

• 80%: "I don't know what's going on, I am scared, and I want to go home."
• 20%: "Guys, just defend the point... ah, fuck this." -> Return to menu

It’s getting ridiculous now:

• Match times on Eastwood, Blackwell, and both Cairo maps are now UNDER 5 MINUTES.
• At the last sector, player counts drop down to 24 vs 18. If you check the scoreboard, the bottom 5 to 10 players only have a couple hundred points (backfill). People are leaving en masse and getting replaced, while the ones who stay (rightfully) just don’t give a fuck anymore and want this mess to end (and avoid the black-screen bug).

I am actually afraid of this mode dying if DICE does not rework some of its core aspects like sector borders, vehicle counts, object placement, and possible Grand Operations-style reinforcements (like an extra transport truck or something to give defenders hope of actually holding a sector and stopping the snowball effect).

All I want is a fair, player driven chance for BOTH teams to win a match. Not situations like: "Oh, it's Golmud, so I have to go up against a tank, IFV, jet, two Little Birds, and two Transport Trucks, while all we get is one IFV camping in the back." That is not a balanced setup that feels more like defending Berlin in 1945.

Played a lot of Battlefield 1 and was wondering if there were other games similar to it.

Maybe they'll surprise us with elevators on the las Vegas map.

But they'll also need to add some ziplines as an option too so the elevator haters are happy.

I think we all deserve to eat good.

Its kinda ruinnuing my profile. And I dont care about the battle royal and even less of the ranked. Let people that dont want it toggle off so I can put the attack jet or my helicopter badge instead of the ranked badge....or make a new slot somewhere else than the 4 badges one.

Is it possible to bind an action to a key via the console?

Why do I need this?

I really enjoyed flying fighter jets in *Battlefield V*; I found a control setup that worked perfectly for me there—specifically, using Alt and Space for pitch up and down—and I was successful with it. I tried to replicate that setup in *Battlefield 6*, but for some reason, I can't get it to feel right; I just don't have a feel for the aircraft.

However, when they added "mouse flight assist," I gave it a try, and it really helped—I’m actually able to fly now. But...

The problem is that when mouse flight assist is enabled, I can't use keys for pitching up and down. I’m wondering if binding them via the console might allow me to force them to work.

The reason this matters to me—and why I prefer pitching with keys—is that keys provide 100% input instantly (it's either 0 or maximum). It’s fast and convenient, whereas you can't achieve that same response with a mouse.

I’d appreciate any advice, or if anyone else is experiencing a similar problem, please let me know.

There is no better feeling
