Battlefield 6 Bloom Fixed, DICE Confirms — Now Two New Bugs Are Stealing the Spotlight

Battlefield 6 just had a massive, record-setting launch, and of course the first big post-release conversation is about guns behaving badly. Specifically: some players say their aim does not settle after they stop firing. In a game where every bullet counts, that is... less than ideal.

What the bug actually is

In normal FPS logic, recoil and spread kick in while you hold the trigger, and then accuracy snaps back after a brief cooldown. What people are seeing here is that final part not happening. The reticle recenters like it should, but the hidden spread is still wider than it is supposed to be, so shots drift even after you pause.

Streamer TacticalBrit posted a clean side-by-side on October 14, 2025 that lays it out: the second half of his clip shows a noticeably wider radius even though he gives the weapon time to recover. In other words, the game acts like you are still in full spray mode when you are not.

Dev response, cleared up

This got big enough that Shroud chimed in and suggested a similar beta-era glitch had simply stuck around. That brought out Florian Le Bihan, Battlefield 6 principal game designer, who clarified the situation on Twitter: the beta bug is gone, but two new issues are messing with dispersion and bloom in ways the team did not intend.

"The Beta bug was actually fixed but we've identified another issue (two in fact) that impacts dispersion/bloom in an unintended way and will cause you to have more dispersion at times."

Le Bihan says they are working on a hotfix and planning some balancing tweaks along with it. Given how consistent and easy this is to reproduce, do not be shocked if a patch lands sooner rather than later.

About those ghost bullets

While we are in the weeds: the team is also tracking the so-called ghost bullets problem, where shots seem to disappear or fail to register. Le Bihan has talked about that before and asked players to send clear examples to help nail it down. It would not be surprising if the bloom fix shows up alongside progress on ghost bullets, but that timing is not confirmed.

And yes, people are ladder-flying

Because Battlefield is Battlefield, players already figured out how to launch themselves around maps using ladders despite the recent movement nerfs. EA has already said they will patch that out too.

Where things stand right now

• Aim bloom not resetting: confirmed by the dev team as two separate dispersion issues. Hotfix in the works, with extra rebalancing.
• Ghost bullets: acknowledged and under investigation, with the devs asking for more clips to reproduce.
• Ladder-flying exploit: EA says they will patch it out.
