Battlefield 6 Sets Dec. 9 ‘Winter Offensive’ Update Focused on Combat Consistency
The studio says the changes answer player feedback to improve combat clarity across core modes.
Overview
- Update 1.1.3.0 rolls out December 9 on all platforms, with full patch notes promised shortly before or after release.
- Hit registration and netcode receive targeted fixes, including better bullet alignment during zoom transitions, more reliable results in crowded fights, clearer damage feedback, and a client-side fix for destroyed geometry desync.
- Rush and Breakthrough get balance passes to aid attackers, with Siege of Cairo gaining an extra attacker tank in Sectors 1 and 3 plus an updated B capture area, revised M-COMs on Manhattan Bridge and Liberation Peak, and wider vehicle spawn and capture zone tweaks to reduce bottlenecks.
- Audio is overhauled to prioritize critical combat and vehicle cues, featuring a comprehensive footstep pass and improvements for issues that caused key sounds to drop out on larger maps.
- Soldier visibility at close range is refined with updated prone animations, weapon handling sees fixes to first-shot accuracy, attachment behavior and recoil patterns, and Redsec reduces tank availability as armor mechanics undergo review.
