Battlefield 6 Weapon Bloom to Be Tuned, Hit Registration Issues Being Investigated by DICE
If you’ve been playing Battlefield 6, chances are, you’ve noticed some weird things happening when it comes to gunfights — especially at a distance.
For some reason, some bullets, even when your crosshair is dead center, won’t hit their target, and this is something that’s common in most Battlefield games, and it’s called “bloom” or otherwise known as dispersion.
Bloom in Battlefield refers to a weapon’s random bullet spread, which makes bullets deviate from the exact point of aim. This is particularly noticeable for rapid fire and represents a separate stat from recoil.
Battlefield 6 players are getting frustrated because the bloom in the game seems to have been overtuned, making gunfights at a distance more of a toss-up rather than just relying on skill.
Battlefield 6 Weapon Bloom Is Indeed Broken Confirmed by DICE
As it turns out, the community was right about this! It seems the Battlefield 6 weapon bloom is indeed not behaving as intended. This was confirmed by Principal Game Designer Florian Le Bihan in answering a tweet from content creator TacticalBrit.

When shroud commented about bloom and the beta, Le Bihan replied, “The Beta bug was actually fixed but we’ve identified another issue (two in fact) that impacts dispersion/bloom in an unintended way and will cause you to have more dispersion at times.”
The developer added, “The team is working on this and we’re looking at general balance/tuning of dispersion too.”
In another tweet, Le Bihan also confirmed an issue when it comes to hit registration wherein the target is visibly hit, with blood splatters and all, but no damage is confirmed in the HUD, or there’s no hit indicator. Check it out how this is bugged in the video shared by Le Bihan.

– Was this a consistent issue with that weapon (happened always, even switch back and forth between weapon)

Le Bihan commented, “We’re currently investigating this issue. It is commonly observed with the target being visibly hit (blood splatters) but no damage is confirmed in the HUD (no hit indicator etc…)”
Unfortunately, there’s no timetable on when we can expect these to be fixed, but we’re hoping it’ll be before Season 1 drops on October 28. Aside from bloom, there are a number of issues DICE is aware of, and we’re hoping these get fixed soon as well.
In other Battlefield 6 news, Cronus users are getting banned in the game, and even the cheat’s developer has asked cheaters not to use it for the time being.
Speaking of Season 1, the slate of content has been revealed, and it will surely come with a massive title update. We’re hoping that the patch rolled out for it includes adjustments, bug fixes and more.
