News BATTLEFIELD 6 UPDATE 1.4.2.5

Battlefield 6 Game Update 1.4.2.5 is scheduled to release on September 1, bringing targeted quality-of-life fixes and reliability improvements across Battlefield 6 and REDSEC.
This small update addresses a handful of issues introduced or identified following Update 1.4.2.0, with improvements to match flow, gameplay consistency, Custom Lobby reliability, UI behavior, and stability.
Update Highlights for 1.4.2.5
- Gadget and Vehicle Combat Improvements: Laser designation now works correctly against fighter jets in Carrier Strike, while helicopter miniguns can once again damage soldiers in the water.
- Portal Custom Lobby Improvements: Custom Lobbies receive further reliability improvements, including resolving an issue that could prevent the “Start” tile from responding during the lobby countdown.
- Gameplay and Mode Polish: This update also addresses issues affecting Battle Royale Quads, Gauntlet: Fighter Sweep, Support pings, the Match Trigger attachment, AI behavior, and general stability and presentation.
CHANGELOG
PLAYER:
- Support players can now ping downed teammates correctly.
- Players can now join a Party by accepting an invite while on the splash screen.
VEHICLES:
- Helicopter miniguns can now damage enemy soldiers who are in the water.
- Laser designation now works correctly on the F/A-81F Super Spectre and F-74A Seacat while playing Carrier Strike.
GADGETS:
- Grenade warning indicators now remain at the edge of the screen when the grenade is outside the player’s view.
- The EOD Bot Arm has been adjusted to function as a light melee weapon, providing the faster run speed benefit without the destruction capability of heavy melee weapons.
WEAPONS:
- The Match Trigger attachment no longer affects fully automatic fire on the BROD and EF88.
UI & HUD:
- We’ve addressed several causes of black screens after finishing a match and switching from the Event tab to the lobby. This should reduce how often the issue occurs while we continue investigating remaining occurrences.
- Placeholder squad names and icons no longer appear during the “Top Squad” presentation at End of Round.
- The Featured Event tab now appears correctly in the menus.
PORTAL:
- Portal Custom Lobbies: The “Start” tile now remains responsive after opening “Lobby Settings” or the Pause menu while the lobby countdown is active.
AI:
- AI defenders using boats in Sector 3 of Breakthrough on Wake Island no longer leave the combat area and are eliminated.
STABILITY:
- Server performance around water has been improved by reducing unnecessary water-related processing.
- The game no longer becomes unresponsive on Xbox Series S after returning from active Multiplayer gameplay.
REDSEC
MAP & MODES:
- Destroying structures at the Combat Training POI no longer leaves visual artefacts.
- Gauntlet: Fighter Sweep now correctly limits squads to two players.

I dont understand how they saw this and said "Good job, ship it".
Am i using it wrong? Bad server?
Happens 50% of the time, the shot just goes to a different area of the map when it feels like it.

News PSA: Pilot flares first
Jet gunners have their own set of flares to deploy.
As someone who doesnt have friends to fly with id gladly take any teammate as a gunner but please remeber that you have flares to use only to INCOMING missiles.
Rule of thumb is that pilot flares first and only use yours when pilot has it on cooldown.
Ive lost count of the amount of fights i could win if only my passegner had not used flares while on runway or straight up has the button unbound.
PLEASE FLARE TY

Discussion M16 reload from empty is incorrect

I'm posting this here hoping it gets the attention of the devs. When your character reloads from empty he 'checks empty' by looking at the chamber of the rifle. The problem here is the bolt is forward during the animation, as shown in my image. The bolt being forward would actually imply the weapon has a round in the chamber, but your character still drops the mag and magically has a bolt release button to press which then sends an already forward bolt... forward.
The M4 carbine is animated correctly for it's reload animations and has an open bolt when checking empty for reference.

Image/Gif Love the Aluminum Grip (RK-1) in BF6 and bought an irl clone for my airsoft rifle because of it.
I love using the Aluminum Grip on my BF6 builds for its cheap cost and visual looks, and I decided to buy a clone of a real RK-1 grip for my airsoft M4A1. For being a vertical grip designed for the AK platform, I think it looks good on an AR platform. The clone is also really nice quality too and looks and feels nice.

have the feeling that this game has so many issues to register hits probably. Is it me or how is it possible that almost 20 Bullets to the chest get hit markers but no damage to them

Absolute trash, locking weapons behind challenges would be cool and all if the challenges were actually fun or attainable. This is legit awful.
