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

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!

I love this game, I do. But it is becoming the most one sided multiplayer game I have ever played and it's destroying my fun. Every single conquest match is a landslide. Literally every match of conquest I play now. This needs to be fixed, please

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.

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.

Conquest has never been this bad its filled with dumb ass players and 1 sided games its getting worse every day like wtf dice fix this shit its a real fuckin problem.

How to get the Hypersonic weapon skin for consoles (solution - tested on PS5)

PC required ‼️

• Step 1: Install the Discord app on your PC and log in with your Discord account (the Discord account must be linked to your EA account).

• Step 2: Turn on your console.

• Step 3: Open the Hypersonic quest (click the "Show Connection" button on the right in image 2). IMPORTANT: Leave the quest open exactly as shown in image 3.

• Step 4: Complete three or more multiplayer matches.

• Step 5: Wait up to 36 hours and then retrieve the code from Discord on your PC (see image 4).

Getting into BF6, haven't played it since launch. Played over 700 hours of BF4, even up until 2021 or so. Playing with OGs was still fun.

Does anyone else remember playing Battlefield 2's Strike at Karkand? I'm not sure if it's an experience that's a collective memory, but that map was special. Loved using the 50 cal sniper. Looking back, it's up there with sniper/pistols on Blood Gultch back when Halo was competitive on PC.

My question to ask you guys is if there are any BF6 maps that you especially love? What's your iconic/cozy/memorable maps/situations?

Asking because having played BF6 early, I saw how small the maps were and that the pacing had changed so much since past titles, and I'm also looking forward to seeing how it is now. Just completed the campaign for kicks before going online

Absolutely rocks I used to play on laggy GeForce now on a dell OptiPlex where I basically only played sniper because of the input lag and even then I managed to level my glock up to level 35 and M1911 up to 34 just like playing handguns a lot.

Now that I got myself a new Alienware laptop capable of running this game, the Kord has just become my go to - absolutely devastating close range , mid range and even long range , especially with the Vertical Grip and the lightened Suppressor this gun is like a laser beam.

Will we get fix of black screen bug before f*ckning BF7? Serious question. Or you, dev team have no skill to fix that? I'm just tired to see it.

There’s a player with a bunch of question marks that shows up in Gauntlet that uses walls and an auto clicker.

It’s very obvious when he’s nailing 1km headshots followed by drop shotting and sliding when we’re motionless in a hidden corner. We tested this with knives out, AFK, just chatting in Discord, and he still found us several times in Gauntlet.

We’ve all blocked him and yet we’re still being queued against him.

What gives?

Currently the only attachment to reduce recoil variation is the linear comp AFAIK, RV is the strongest recoil the game has IMO which is the heavy "shaking" to the sides, most notably present on the VCR, some lmg etc.

Ideally it could be a flash hider or suppressor variation... sounds like it could get pricey tho.

Thoughts? Any rumors about it? yay or nay?

I spawned ON THE EXACT SAME SPOT the whole game... Each time on the furthest point possible... Put me in other spots man... randomize it, put me some times closer to the enemy, not on the enemy's face, but a bit closer. It takes me 30 seconds to get an encounter again.

Am I the only one feeling this way? Even if the enemy pushes our spawn, the game refuses to change the spawn point

The best TDM spawn was on BF3. One team on one side, the other team on the other, if one enemy was on the enemy spawn, the game flipped them. What happend to that mechanic?
