EA is celebrating destruction in Battlefield 6, revealing that players collectively caused over $70 billion worth of in-game property damage during the open beta. The developer is offering a collective community reward for reaching a certain level of destruction by the end of the beta period–but there’s a long way to go to reach the $1 trillion goal.
Destruction is an important part of Battlefield 6, with the developers going back to Bad Company 2’s comprehensive destruction to make sure the new title’s destruction elements felt as satisfying as possible. To celebrate this feature, Battlefield Studios’ Destruction Receipts project is tallying up the damage done by players–from buildings reduced to rubble, to crashed $100-million fighter jets–to put a real-world dollar value on the destructive chaos.
Players generated $70 billion worth of Destruction Receipts in the open beta, but EA is looking for a total of $1 trillion of damage dealt in order to unlock a collective reward: the exclusive Community Destruction Skin for the M/60.
Generating a Destruction Receipt requires a bit more than just in-game demolition–to be included in the project, players have to share a video of their destruction on social media, mentioning the official Battlefield account alongside the hashtag #BF6Receipts.
Some tips if you’re trying to rack up the dollar-value damage in the open beta’s upcoming second weekend–go for expensive military vehicles, which are often valued in the tens to hundreds of millions, and keep in mind that the value of buildings and civilian vehicles will vary depending on the map and its corresponding real-world location.
Battlefield 6’s first open-beta weekend was hugely popular, reportedly reaching over 5 million people and breaking a Call of Duty record on Steam. The second open-beta weekend is starting on August 14, with new maps and game modes on rotation. Check out all you need to know in our Battlefield 6 open beta guide.
