As the open beta for Battlefield 6 nears its end, important advice has emerged that could greatly enhance the experience for long-time fans. This simple fix deals with a common issue: aiming sensitivity. Many players find it off compared to previous games. This isn’t a major flaw in the game; rather, it’s a minor change needed to match the new game’s mechanics with players’ established muscle memory.
Florian Le Bihan, a principal game designer on the project, confirmed that the sensitivity settings from earlier Battlefield titles do not directly apply. He suggests a straightforward solution: players should think about doubling their mouse aiming sensitivity from their last setup. For example, if a player used a sensitivity slider set to 5% in an older game, they should set it to 10% in the Battlefield 6 beta to achieve a similar feel.
While this advice mainly targets mouse users, Le Bihan mentioned that controller players might also need to make similar adjustments, something he plans to check. Players should also note that the Uniform Soldier Aiming feature is turned on by default. This setting can be fine-tuned further to reach the desired level of accuracy and comfort, which will be familiar to those who have carefully customized their settings in past games.
The ongoing conversation around the beta, including feedback on map size, shows the community’s strong involvement. While not all suggestions can be acted on before launch, these simple yet significant insights from the development team and the community highlight the cooperative spirit of game development and the shared aim of creating the best possible Battlefield experience.
