After a handful of days to really dig into Battlefield 6, folks are starting to identify some bugbears. There’s the slow progression, the wonky server browser, the high CPU usage, and oh yea—there’s something deeply wrong with hit registration.
If your gun isn’t always shooting straight, that’s partly by design—Battlefield 6 guns have “bloom,” an accuracy penalty that increases bullet spread the longer you fire continuously. While some Call of Duty transplants are gobsmacked by the mechanic on principle, DICE is currently investigating instances where bloom is working a little too well.
As no shortage of clips shared over the weekend reveal, sometimes guns just decide to be inaccurate at extremely close range, or at the beginning of a magazine when they should still be accurate. But there’s a good chance that we’re talking about multiple bugs disrupting accuracy, and it’s probably not all bloom’s fault. Perhaps there’s something deeper wrong with hit registration while using certain attachments or movement techniques?
