Battlefield 6's Worst Bugs Are Finally Getting The Boot This Week:...

The next Battlefield 6 patch is squarely aimed at its most annoying bugs. As promised by DICE lead producer David Sirland last week, the quality-of-life update will address the gun dispersion issues, incorrect vehicle spawns, the unstoppable lock-on missile, and most notably, the "drone hammer" bug that let players levitate on command.

That last bug fix could be a particularly big ideal, as folks were using the levitation exploit to get high up on maps that have no air vehicles and land on out-of-bounds rooftops on Siege of Cairo. This is also the first major update for Redsec, Battlefield 6's free-to-play battle royale mode.

That knocks a few big problems off the to-do list, though to be honest, my biggest gripes with Battlefield 6 are problems that will take a lot longer to address: the lack of big maps and the terrible UI. Sirland acknowledged both topics in his AMA last week, but gave no timeline or indicated they were huge priorities. The good news is we're getting one new big map next week: Eastwood.

Update 1.1.1.5 arrives on November 11 at 9 AM UTC. Here are the full patch notes:
