Full Patch Notes
Major Updates
Three headline fixes define this update:
- ▶Hagental Base, Railway to Golmud, and Portal: Addressed out-of-bounds areas, spawn placement, objective behavior, and map information issues across all three locations.
- ▶Battle Royale and Ranked Battle Royale UI: Improved matchmaking messaging, progression visibility, and loading screens for a cleaner competitive experience.
- ▶Respawn, Redeploy, Vehicle Deployment: Resolved several issues that could prevent players from getting back into the fight after being eliminated.
Weapons and Gadgets
Mounting
- ▶Improved mounting reliability — fixed an issue where players could unexpectedly lose their mounted position.
Decals
- ▶Fixed an issue where decals could fail to appear as intended on certain surfaces.
MTN-55 Proximity Detector
- ▶Improved enemy soldier reveal reliability in certain scenarios — the gadget now consistently spots targets it should have been detecting.
Vehicles
| Vehicle | Change |
|---|---|
| AH-6 Little Bird | Teammates can now deploy on the helicopter when the gunner seat is occupied — previously this was blocked incorrectly. |
Maps & Modes
Hagental Base
- ▶Fixed an exploit where players could use the Assault Ladder to leave the intended combat area.
General Respawn Fix
- ▶Players can now respawn and redeploy as expected after being eliminated while the "Edit Loadout" screen is open. Previously this caused a soft-lock.
Railway to Golmud
| Issue | Fix |
|---|---|
| Spawn height bug | Adjusted an Escalation alternate spawn point near Objective B that was placing players too high above the ground |
| Floating debris | Destroyed houses near Objective E in Conquest no longer leave floating debris after destruction |
| Tower capture exploit | Objective D in Conquest can no longer be captured from the top of the communications towers |
| Loading screen | Resolved a placeholder Battle Royale loading screen image appearing incorrectly |
Portal
- ▶Updated the "Portal Next – Complex 3" description in Maps & Modes filters to be accurate.
Competitive Mode
| Improvement | Details |
|---|---|
| Lobby customization | Players can now select visual customization while in the lobby (previously locked until in-match) |
| Matchmaking clarity | Clearer message when Ranked Battle Royale matchmaking fails due to party members being too far apart in rank |
| Rank Points display | Placement Rank Points rewards on the Rules and Points page now reflect the latest Ranked Battle Royale balance changes |
| Counter behavior | Ranked Points counter behavior improved after reaching 999 Ranked Points |
Weapons
L115 Sniper Rifle
- ▶The L115 Sniper Rifle model now remains visible after the player using it is revived. Previously, the gun would disappear from view after a revive animation.
Community Reaction
""The Railway to Golmud tower capture exploit was ruining Conquest. Good riddance — competitive play should feel fair, not like a position-gaming contest." — Reddit r/Battlefield
""Finally fixed the respawn lock when the loadout screen is open. That bug has cost me ranked points more than once. Should have been patched weeks ago." — Steam Community
""The AH-6 Little Bird change is actually huge for squad play. Being able to deploy on it with the gunner occupied opens up more dynamic teamwork." — Reddit r/BattlefieldComp
