Numerous influencers were present at the reveal event. However, a clip from one streamer caused a stir due to his cluelessness.
The big reveal of Battlefield 6 brought together the stars of the FPS genre, who played DICE’s new shooter for the community… and sometimes missed the mark when it came to skill.
A video clip of former CoD pro and current streamer Scump is currently the subject of much discussion, but it was someone else who caused the controversy.
“No skill required”
The content creator rivaLxfactor posted a clip of Scump on X. It shows the streamer at the game’s shooting range firing the light machine gun KTS100.
Battlefield 6 seems to lack any sort of skill gap or skill ceiling in its gunplay on several different guns.
This particular weapon has zero recoil and spread even while holding MB1 or trigger.
Hopefully this all gets tweaked in beta. pic.twitter.com/6EtDYANce2

The weapon barely moves upward when the fire button is held down, meaning it has little recoil. This leads rivaLxfactor to conclude that you don’t need any skill to use the weapons in the game.
The first classification can be found in the Community Notes under the X post. There it is explained that the weapon is based on the real machine gun Ultimax 100.
Due to its very special design, the weapon has virtually no recoil in the real world and, as shown in example video , it can even be fired with one hand from a raised arm.
Incidentally, the KTS100 was also featured in Battlefield 4. In a Reddit post, user TekHead compares the two weapons.nbsp;
Even back in BF4, it was a weapon with remarkably little recoil – just like its real-life counterpart. This is a detail that the long-time Battlefield expert either overlooked or was unaware of.
Blanket statement is also questionable
In a YouTube video, TheBrokenMaschine demonstrates the recoil behavior of various weapons. With almost all firearms, the crosshairs dance back and forth significantly if the player does not counteract the recoil.
We didn’t notice any weapons that “shoot like a laser” during our four-hour play session either. You can read more about this in the article above in the box.
It seems that rivaLxfactor has been carried away by a false generalization, and his only example is, of all things, an accurate representation of the real-life model of this very weapon.
