Battlefield 6’s record-breaking first open beta has come and gone, and now the developers are starting to sift through player feedback and bug reports. One of the issues in the crosshairs is the reported “super bullet” causing unexpectedly fast time-to-kill rates.
BF6’s principal game designer Florian Le Bihan took to X following the end of the open beta to ask players for videos of “suspected super bullet/unexpectedly fast TTD” bugs. A number of players have reported having this issue in the Battlefield beta, with some streamers even experiencing the issue live on stream. The unusually quick TTD (time to death or time to down) bug causes some players to be downed in just a few shots, and sometimes even when behind cover.
Players were quick to provide examples of the suspected bug, with some speculating that the server was slow to apply damage that had already been received, causing the full amount of damage to be applied to the player all at once after a short delay. Players have also reported taking damage or failing to heal when they should be at full health, including immediately after respawning–though this bug appears to only impact the health-bar UI and not players’ actual hit points.
While some player’s TTD issues were put down to regular lag due to a poor internet connection, others have shared videos of the suspected bug in question. Le Bihan later updated to thank players for sharing their footage, saying he’s now been sent “a bunch of good videos” to investigate the issue.
With the first open-beta weekend concluded, players have taken to social media to share their thoughts on the preview, both good and bad. The beta reached a huge number of people, and the developers at DICE no doubt have a big job ahead of them combing through player feedback and bug reports ahead of the game’s release on October 10.
Players will have a chance to check out more Battlefield 6 maps and different modes when the open beta returns for a second weekend on August 14. For more, check out GameSpot’s Battlefield 6 open beta breakdown.
