Today’s Battlefield 6 patch is laser-focused on taking care of some of the more infuriating bugs while also taking out a couple of exploits.
The next Battlefield 6 update is here. Having gone live just moments ago, update 1.1.1.5 is something of a midseason update, bringing a few quality of life tweaks to the game alongside some key fixes for a few of the issues that cropped up since the launch of Season 1 in late October.
This latest release is also the first to tackle some of the problems players have been running into playing Redsec battle royale, the free-to-play component that also came out recently.
Patch 1.1.1.5 is fairly limited in scope. The biggest fix in this one comes to the Lock-Guided Missiles going through flares, and generally being annoying enough to stop players from using air vehicles altogether.
The Lock-Guided Missiles were mainly used by AA vehicles, but they could also be equipped by IFVs, which made it even more of a nightmare to pilots. It got so bad that Battlefield Studios disabled it entirely while the team worked on a proper fix.
Another exploit the patch fixes is the one that allowed players to stand on the Recon Drone and reach areas they’re not supposed to. This was done by… repeatedly hitting it with a Sledgehammer. The long-running issue of vehicles not spawning for certain teams in Conquest and Breakthrough appears to have finally been fixed, too.
In terms of battle royale, the patch has a few fixes that should help make the experience more consistent, as well as improve the flow of matches.
