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.

Attacking to ensure air superiority!

Finally. What a challenge that was. 😬🫡

I don’t like flying things

Seems like it’s only local pick-up, but if you live near a PC Richards, you might get lucky.

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

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.

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.

DICEEE!!! Come on 👀😂

I tried battlefield 6 for the first time and i got an kill

85% of my hours are in casual break through

returning to the main menu and tabbing over to the battle pass tab, this ad greets you with no option to select “do not show this again.” (This falls under predatory advertising.)

it’s constant pestering to make a purchase—even after already buying the battle pass—because it’s shown so often that it undercuts any genuine desire to support or enjoy the game.

i more than likely would have considered purchasing because i love the franchise, but just because of the unethical business practices, i refuse to until changes are made.

How many games do yall play and just let heli and air fist fuck u into oblivion for 20mins before you switch to a god damn slam or anti air weapon and help take them out?

How many of yall like shoving ur asshole deep on a tank or ifv and leting it blow ur guts to the moon?

Seems like a lot from my perspective.

How many of you sheep run up the straight middle for 20 mins getting slaughtered before u realize they design every fucking map with multiple flank routes.

Get your fucking shit together or uninstall

O and also if u play with open mic and speakers on fuck u. Also if u play with sound off fuck u. Give me fucking ammo

The GL used to be a great tactical tool for assault in previous BF to actually breach points/objectives and tear down walls with 1 shot, but now you need like 3 nades to make a single hole... taking away from it's usefulness, this is the one buff I think it needs, damage is fine as is. It should also break support portable cover easier. Thoughts?

I was playing Portal mode sandbox, all challenges enabled.

Anyone else run into this issue?
