Battlefield 6 Sprint Stats Prove the Games Is Nowhere Near the Fastest BF Game
If you check feedback of the Battlefield 6 beta online, chances are you’ll see a fair amount of gamers mention how movement is too fast, or how DICE is catering to the Call of Duty audience by making movement faster.
As it turns out, that’s not the case. Not only that, but Battlefield 6 is far from being the fastest game in the franchise — at least in terms of sprinting.
Don’t believe me? We have data to back it up!
Battlefield 6 Sprint Speed Is Slower Than BF4 and BF3
The data comes from YouTuber SMK Gaming, who made an entire video about it that explains the sprint speeds of each Battlefield game that was released in modern times. It measures each game’s sprint speed at the fastest your character can run, so a game like Battlefield 2042 that features Tactical Sprint will come out on top every time.
For older games like Battlefield 3 and BF4, it measures it with the Sprint perk activated, and for Battlefield 6, it’s measured with the knife equipped, which will let you run a lot faster compared if you are carrying a weapon or gadget while running.
Here’s the complete findings in table format.
| # | Game & Condition | m/s | km/h | mph | TIME [s] |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | BATTLEFIELD 2042 (Tactical Sprint) | 7.25 | 26.1 | 16.2 | 13.80 |
| 2 | BATTLEFIELD 4 (Sprint Perk) | 7.15 | 25.7 | 16.0 | 13.99 |
| 2 | BATTLEFIELD 3 (Sprint Perk) | 7.15 | 25.7 | 16.0 | 13.99 |
| 4 | BATTLEFIELD 6 (Knife Equipped) | 7.12 | 25.6 | 15.9 | 14.04 |
| 5 | BATTLEFIELD HARDLINE | 6.75 | 24.3 | 15.1 | 14.81 |
| 6 | BATTLEFIELD 2042 | 6.50 | 23.4 | 14.5 | 15.38 |
| 6 | BATTLEFIELD 4 | 6.50 | 23.4 | 14.5 | 15.38 |
| 6 | BATTLEFIELD 3 | 6.50 | 23.4 | 14.5 | 15.38 |
| 9 | BATTLEFIELD 1 | 6.04 | 21.7 | 13.5 | 16.56 |
| 9 | BATTLEFIELD V | 6.04 | 21.7 | 13.5 | 16.56 |
| 11 | BATTLEFIELD 6 | 5.99 | 21.6 | 13.4 | 16.69 |
There you go. While Battlefield 6 does feature a sliding maneuver, it’s nothing game-breaking, You can’t bunny hop in the game either, so those who aren’t a fan of movement gymnastics in serious shooters have nothing to worry about.
Personally, I never found Battlefield 6 to be fast or faster than your regular military shooter. Of course, I’ve been conditioned by Call of Duty all these years that operators bunny hop and do all sorts of dives when I combat, so perhaps I’m desensitized?
In case you didn’t know, the Battlefield 6 open beta’s second week is now live, which means you can jump in right now for free and test these sprint speeds out yourself. For the second week, DICE has rolled out a new map, new modes and more. The “Custom Search’ filter has also been enabled, and there’s also a playlist schedule planned until the beta’s final day of availability.
Aside from the Week 2 challenges, there’s also a community challenge wherein $1 trillion in damages in-game need to be met for everyone to get a weapon skin that we can use in the final version of the game.
If you’ve played Battlefield 6, do you find the sprint speeds a little too fast? Too slow or just right?
Battlefield 6 releases on October 10 on the PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
