Battlefield 6 Devs Pledge Ladder-Launch Fix as Drone Levitation Glitch Goes Viral

Developers prioritize fixes, leaving drone levitation unresolved for now.

Overview

  • Battlefield Studios deployed a hotfix to address certain hit‑registration problems traced to specific weapon attachment combinations.
  • Lead producer David Sirland publicly confirmed the ladder‑launching bug will be removed in a forthcoming patch after widespread player clips.
  • A separate, reproducible exploit credited to Reddit user GameHero lifts players on a recon drone by striking it with a sledgehammer.
  • Viral videos show players using the drone method to gain extreme height for scouting and long‑range sniping, countering recent movement restrictions.
  • Developers say they are investigating the physics exploits and have not provided a timeline for broader fixes during the launch period.
