Battlefield 6: Game Update 1.1.2.0

This update delivers extensive improvements to soldier responsiveness, aiming consistency, animation fidelity, and overall stability throughout Battlefield 6. It also adds a limited-time mode, refines Aim Assist behaviour, and addresses a wide range of weapon, gadget, and vehicle issues reported by the community. The update is scheduled for November 18 at 09:00 UTC.

New Content: California Resistance

• New map — Eastwood. A Southern California–inspired environment with multiple variants that will be playable across official modes.

  • Conquest on Eastwood supports tanks, helicopters, and the Golf Cart vehicle.

• New time-limited mode — Sabotage. A themed event focused on demolition objectives and tactical counterplay.

• New weapons: DB-12 shotgun and the M357 Trait sidearm.

• Gauntlet — new mission type: Rodeo. Multiple vehicles spawn for teams to contest; players earn bonus points for defeating enemies while occupying a vehicle.

  • Sandbox map option to give Portal creators a neutral starting environment for custom experiences.

  • Golf Cart added to the Portal build palette.

• Battle Pass: The California Resistance bonus path will be available for a limited window.

Major Updates for 1.1.2.0

• Aim Assist reverted to Open Beta tuning to restore consistent infantry targeting across input types.

• Reduced input latency and improved controller stick response for smoother aiming and crisper soldier movement.

• Weapon accuracy and dispersion adjustments: corrected unintended dispersion rate increases, enhanced non‑Recon sniper accuracy, and applied a modest global reduction in dispersion.

• Improved clarity for Challenges and progression to make requirements easier to read and track.

• Polish pass on deployable gadgets, including LWCMS Portable Mortar, LTLM II Portable Laser Designator, and Supply Crates.

• Fort Lyndon added to Portal to expand community creation options.

Areas of Improvement

Aim Assist

Prior to launch we revisited aim assist to better support a wider range of maps and engagement distances. An increase in slowdown at long range made high-zoom aiming feel less fluid for some players. After analysing feedback and gameplay data, we’ve restored the Open Beta values as the default. Players can still fine-tune aim assist via settings. This change keeps slowdown consistent across ranges, improving muscle memory and delivering a steadier feel going forward.
