The biggest update for Battlefield 6 in a long time nerfs one of the most powerful weapon types. Here’s all the info you need.

The multiplayer shooter is getting lots of new content, improvements, and bug fixes. We’ve got all the changes for you.

Battlefield 6 is kicking off Season 2. We’ve already spent many hours trying out the new gameplay features and we’re thrilled. p>

DICE has also released the major update 1.2.1.0 for the shooter – and it’s so extensive that we won’t waste any more time with small talk and get straight to the highlights. Don’t worry: as always, you can find the complete patch notes on page 2.

Oh, one more thing: the patch will be available for download from 10 a.m. German time. At 1 p.m., all the new Season 2 content will be launched.

The highlights of patch 1.2.1.0

• Weapon balance and recoil: The recoil and handling of many weapons have been adjusted to ensure a more balanced gameplay experience on the battlefield.

• Revised animations: Both your soldiers and other soldiers move a little differently. The patch notes mention improved sliding, jumping, and sprinting behavior, and the animations for climbing ladders have also been optimized.

• Maps and modes: Many issues and exploits on numerous maps in Conquest, Breakthrough, Strikepoint, and Gauntlet have been fixed.

• UI and HUD: Your profile now features a new overview of your statistics.

The changes to weapon handling, especially the modified recoil, are likely to have a major impact on the feel of the game and the outcome of matches at first. The patch also leaves hardly any aspect of the shooter untouched.

It remains to be seen whether the gameplay innovations in Season 2 will have such a big impact. The initial reactions of many Battlefield fans following the reveal were primarily disappointment rather than joy.

Game update 1.2.1.0 includes over 240 gameplay improvements and bug fixes that affect almost every area of Battlefield 6. These changes are based on community feedback and real game data and focus on improving weapon handling, movement, vehicles, gadgets, user interface, sound, and overall gameplay reliability. With this update, we continue our ongoing commitment to improving the consistency and reliability of the core Battlefield experience.

Key Updates for 1.2.1.0

• Weapon balance and recoil improvements: A comprehensive recoil adjustment has been made to automatic weapons, along with targeted balance fixes to improve consistency, role clarity, and long-term weapon handling.
• Movement and traversal fixes:  Soldier movement predictability has been improved through refined acceleration, improved sliding and jumping behavior, smoother jump logic, and improved ladder animations in both first-person and third-person perspectives.& nbsp;Vehicle and gadget reliability: Several issues affecting vehicles and gadgets have been fixed, including interactions with vehicles, drone behavior, deployable devices, and vehicle damage feedback.
• Map and mode fixes: Numerous map exploits, movement issues, conquest logic issues, and world reset bugs in Conquest, Breakthrough, Strikepoint, Gauntlet, and other modes have been fixed.
• User interface, HUD, and progression improvements: Introduction of a new statistics screen in the player profile, as well as improved clarity and reliability of the HUD, Battle Pass, challenges, end-of-round flow, matchmaking, and party systems.
• Portal stability and tooling updates: Numerous issues affecting portal creation tools, scripts, mutators, assets, exploits, and server stability have been fixed.
• Audio, graphics, and stability improvements: Audio reliability, visual consistency, cosmetic appearance, and overall game stability have been improved across all platforms.

Areas of improvement

As part of update 1.2.1.0, we have improved both the behavior of recoil at the system level and the use of recoil to balance automatic weapons.

Since launch, recoil compensation could feel inconsistent in certain situations. In some cases, the aim movement required to compensate for recoil did not reliably match the recoil experienced, making weapons feel more difficult to control than expected. Although improvements were made during Season 1 to reduce the most extreme cases, some irregularities were still noticeable during normal play. With this update, recoil compensation has been completely unified so that the aim movement required to compensate for recoil now correctly matches the recoil that occurs. This results in more predictable and reliable weapon handling.

Regardless of this systemic correction, we have also made a comprehensive adjustment to the recoil of automatic weapons. Recoil is one of the most important means by which we balance weapons across different combat distances: weapons with higher damage are intentionally more difficult to control, while lighter weapons trade their raw power for ease of use and consistency. Over time, we noticed that this balance was gradually shifting as we looked at how these weapons were actually being used in live matches across common combat distances.

This adjustment brings the recoil behavior back in line with the intended role of each weapon. You can expect automatic weapons to feel more consistent and differentiated across all ranges, with weapons that have higher penetration requiring more control and positioning, while others remain reliable and forgiving in close combat.
