I’ve been taking part in a variety of Battlefield 6 lately, and through practically each session, my pals and I run into at the least one group of gamers making the most of an easy-to-pull-off drone glitch that allows you to get to areas which are usually inconceivable to succeed in. It’s been an issue mainly since EA’s FPS launched final month, and it’s surprising that it’s nonetheless a problem weeks later.
Battlefield 6 launched on October 10. And fewer than every week later, there were already posts on Reddit of individuals utilizing a newly found glitch to succeed in rooftops that shouldn’t be accessible on maps like Iberian Offensive. All it’s important to do is have a recon participant plop down their distant drone, get one other participant (or two) to face on the drone, after which smack it with the sledgehammer because the drone flies up. It will ship the gamers and the drone upward, permitting folks to then hop off the drone onto roofs, towers, and different out-of-the-way spots simply. Then squadmates can spawn on that participant, drop ammo, respawn beacons, and rain lead and explosives down on gamers beneath who’ve very restricted methods to counter.
After quite a few Battlefield 6 updates and patches, practically 4 weeks after it was found, the drone glitch continues to be an issue. The bug isn’t helpful on each map or mode, however it could possibly break sure maps if many squads are doing the glitch. I performed one match the place working round on the bottom was like exploring a ghost city, as most gamers had been drone glitching and sniping.
One other latest match with pals on Iberian Offensive noticed two enemy squads use the drone glitch to start out racking up kills. Ultimately, we determined to grow to be rooftop police and used the glitch ourselves to hunt the opposite gamers down, after which hid a beacon up there so we may periodically verify in and ensure they weren’t utilizing the drone glitch. It was form of humorous, however when it occurred once more after that night time, we had been all so uninterested in it. Gamers in chat had been additionally fed up, sharing offended messages about the way it was annoying that EA and Battlefield Studios hadn’t fastened this bug or at the least turned off the sledgehammer or drone whereas a repair is developed. You can find similar posts on the BF subreddit, where players frequently complain that the bug continues to be an issue after weeks of players sharing videos and screenshots of it in action.
On the very least, we all know the drone glitch goes to be eliminated ultimately. On November 5, Battlefield 6 lead producer David Sirland confirmed that it had been fixed and that the repair can be utilized in BF6‘s next patch. He wouldn’t say when to anticipate that patch, however contemplating how continuously EA has been updating the shooter since launch, I doubt the wait will likely be lengthy. And that’s nice, as BF6‘s drone glitch has been an issue for too lengthy.
