For weeks, the Battlefield 6 community has voiced frustration about one persistent exploit. A major update from Battlefield Studios now removes that bug, which restores fair play and rebalances the game.

On Tuesday, November 11, Update 1.1.1.5 reaches both Battlefield 6 plus the battle royale mode Redsec. The patch removes the “drone surfing” exploit that players have condemned for weeks.

The bug let a player stand on an XFGM-6D Recon Drone, strike it with a sledgehammer and rise high above the map. From those positions the player could kill others with ease breaking the intended balance but also annoying the community for more than a month. The fix restores normal play on every map.

Beyond the drone, the patch delivers further quality-of-life fixes. In Battlefield 6, flares now reliably divert Lock-Guided Missiles and vehicle spawn points in Breakthrough besides Conquest have been reset to the correct locations. In the free-to-play Redsec, the update repairs match flow as well as squad-revive behavior.

With Battlefield 6 sales already past ten million copies, a fair environment is essential. The swift arrival of this patch shows that the development team tracks player feedback, which bodes well for future support.
