Battlefield 6 Update 1.1.1.0 Patch Notes
Major Updates
Core movement and animations have received significant attention, resulting in smoother landings, quicker transitions between stances, more reliable vaulting, and a reduction in the “bouncing” effect sometimes seen after spawning or landing.
A comprehensive rework of weapon dispersion ensures that accuracy and handling now better reflect each weapon’s intended design and performance at various ranges. This addresses previous inconsistencies, such as dispersion not settling correctly after sprinting, creating a more balanced relationship between precision, control, and firepower.
Visual clarity is greatly improved with better exposure transitions between light and dark areas, refined interior lighting, and reduced persistence of fog and smoke effects.
The audio landscape has been overhauled with new projectile flyby sounds, enhanced destruction and explosion audio, refined vehicle and weapon mixes, and improved haptic feedback for a wider range of interactions.
The user interface and heads-up display have been updated for better clarity and consistency, including new overtime indicators, fixes for the end-of-round screen, and fresh unlock markers for weapons and gadgets.
Multiple maps have been polished to resolve spawn animation problems, out-of-bounds exploits, misaligned assets, and to improve general stability across Conquest, Breakthrough, and Rush game modes.
Player Fixes & Improvements
- Resolved a problem where the combat dive could malfunction when attempting to dive uphill.
- Fixed missing haptic feedback when switching between weapons in a tank.
- Fixed a rare issue where the MAS 148 Glaive could obstruct the first-person view during a combat dive.
- Weapon dispersion has been rebalanced to align more closely with each weapon’s damage profile across all engagement distances. Lower-damage weapons will now experience a slightly greater increase in dispersion when firing, while higher-damage weapons will see a slightly smaller increase.
- Improved fog and smoke effects following destruction events to prevent them from lingering excessively and impairing visibility.Specific Map Fixes
- Mirak Valley: Fixed a misaligned zipline mesh in Conquest. Corrected the deploy camera in Rush that showed attackers on the wrong side of the map. Fixed an issue that prevented players from arming M-COM A in Rush due to a misplaced asset.
- Added new visual markers for newly unlocked weapons, weapon packages, attachments, gadgets, and throwables.
- Added Flick Look bindings to the control schemes for Helicopters, Jets, and Transports.
- Fixed an issue in Mission 01 where players were unable to lean out during the Last Stand sequence if the cinematic began while the knife was equipped.
- Fixed an issue where the Host Experience screen failed to display the Portal experience image.
- Fixed an issue where footstep sounds were absent when moving with a knife equipped.
