Battlefield 6 Winter Offensive Update Rolls Out With Audio Overhaul, Hit-Registration Fixes and Limited-Time Empire State

The patch targets more consistent close-quarters combat with clearer footsteps, improved hit detection, better visibility.

Overview

  • Update 1.1.3.0 launches December 9 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC, bringing the Ice Lock Empire State event across Conquest, Domination and Gauntlet.
  • A broad audio pass sharpens footstep cues across surfaces and addresses disappearing sounds by prioritizing critical effects in memory.
  • Hit registration receives focused improvements for quick aim changes, shots fired before full ADS, and crowded close-range fights to make impacts more predictable.
  • Soldier visibility gets another pass for low-contrast areas, with weapon handling tweaks to first-shot accuracy and recoil behavior plus vehicle HUD and interaction fixes.
  • Seasonal rewards feature the Ice Climbing Axe unlocked via an 11-tier Winter Offensive Bonus Path, and the settings-reset bug is expected to be resolved for most players with further audio work ongoing.
