DICE Confirms Battlefield 6 Movement Nerfs After Beta, Dividing Players

The studio says the tweaks aim to restore a traditional Battlefield pace by curbing exploitative slide‑jump and jump‑spam tactics.

Overview

  • In an Open Beta Debrief, developers said horizontal momentum carried from a slide into a jump will be reduced.
  • Consecutive jumps will face stronger penalties, lowering jump height when players attempt to spam jumps.
  • Firing accuracy will decrease when shooting while jumping or sliding to discourage mid‑air engagements.
  • Developers also plan to smooth out areas of movement that felt clunky to improve fluidity for typical players.
  • Battlefield’s principal gameplay designer described the changes as targeted rather than drastic, as reactions split with notable support on Reddit and pushback on X.
