Battlefield 6 update leaves support defibrillators “busted” and unreliable — player says they let at least 4 teammates die; dev investigating

Another thread raised concerns about the defib hitbox: several players pointed out that revives only register when the defib is placed exactly on the head or chest, and suggested enlarging the revive hitbox to make resuscitation more forgiving.

The issue drew wider attention after YouTuber Westie flagged the problem on Twitter, prompting a response from Battlefield 6 principal game designer and former pro FPS player Florian Le Bihan. “I’ve seen quite a few reports yeah, will investigate what’s happening,” he wrote.

There’s no confirmed timeline for a repair yet, but the developer’s acknowledgement indicates a patch could arrive soon. In the meantime, support players may need to adopt extra caution during firefights to avoid situations that require frequent revives.

Battlefield 6 developers say map size is “under review,” and some larger modes are already seeing reduced player counts while changes are evaluated.
