Battlefield 6 Addressing One of Open Beta's Major Issues - Positive That Feedback is Considered Prior to Release
The upcoming Battlefield 6, scheduled for release on October 10, 2025, is garnering attention for more reasons than just its anticipated launch. A significant issue, dubbed the "super bullet" bug by players, has been reported during the game's open beta.
This bug causes players to die almost instantly, often from what sounds like a single shot, despite multiple hits being registered by the game. This disrupts the gameplay balance, making death feel sudden and unpredictable, breaking the intended combat flow.
The bug was prevalent during the Battlefield 6 open beta (August 7–10, 2025), with players experiencing it on various maps and modes. Developers at DICE, including principal game designer Florian Le Bihan, have acknowledged the issue and are actively seeking video evidence from players to aid diagnosis and a potential fix.
The suspected cause of the bug is related to netcode or server-side damage syncing. Delayed application of damage can result in multiple hits being processed simultaneously, causing a sudden spike in damage and death that feels like being killed instantly by one shot.
DICE has confirmed receiving numerous videos illustrating the bug and is investigating it thoroughly. The team is committed to resolving the issue before the game's full release.
Meanwhile, the reception to Battlefield 6 has been overwhelmingly positive. Players have praised the return of the series' classes, creative new gadgets, advanced map-altering destruction systems, and more. The Battlefield 6 Open Beta achieved a player count of over 500K+ on Steam alone.
However, some players have reported feeling that vehicles are too weak and need better health, damage, and handling in the game. DICE is committed to maintaining a "gritty realism" in Battlefield 6, while competitors like Call of Duty opt for increasingly anachronistic and goofy skins.
Battlefield 6 is available for preorder at Steam, Epic Games, EA, Xbox, and PS5. The standard edition of the game costs $69.99, with EA avoiding the $80 price point for now. Battlefield 6 aims to bring the franchise back into a positive spotlight after the disappointment of Battlefield 2042.
As the release date approaches, DICE and EA studios continue to review fan feedback from the first open beta weekend. The "super bullet" TTK/TTD issue remains a high-priority bug for DICE and its partners to address, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable gaming experience for all.
