If you’ve been playing Battlefield 6 and wondering why some of your pinpoint shots weren’t connecting with enemies, you’re not the only one. Since the game’s launch on October 10, numerous players have been sharing clips and stories of the bug costing them gunfights online.
As reported by PC Gamer, what players were experiencing was an exceptionally gnarly bug related to the bloom on weapons in Battlefield 6. The mechanic, which increases the spread of bullets and reduces player accuracy the longer they’re firing, seemed to be affecting players regardless of how long they were firing and the range at which they were engaging with enemies.
As a result, many players were losing fights they shouldn’t have and getting inconsistent visual feedback–often showing enemies bleeding without hit markers–while firing on enemies.
