It’s been a week since Battlefield 6 was released, and unless you’re referring to the game’s single-player campaign, the response has been nearly universal praise. In our review, we boldly claimed that EA accomplished the impossible by surpassing Activision and the Call of Duty franchise with Battlefield 6.

Battlefield 6 brings back what made the franchise famous: epic combined arms combat, natural teamwork, and a grounded setting. While it may not be the best shooter ever by any margin, it is the first Battlefield game in years that is ready to dominate the multiplayer scene after a long stretch of Call of Duty dominance.

### Progression System Complaints and Player Feedback

If there is one valid and vocal complaint from fans, it concerns the game’s progression system. Many players have deemed it too slow and cumbersome. This frustration reached a point where some gamers resorted to exploiting bots to quickly farm XP.

Given this, it was almost certain that EA would address these issues — and this morning, they delivered.

### Players Will Now Gain XP at a Faster Rate in Battlefield 6

EA has released a new update aimed at improving player progression in Battlefield 6. This update is expected to roll out to all platforms by the end of the day.

Here’s what’s new:

– **Match Completion XP per minute** has increased by **10%**.
– **XP from Daily Challenges** has been boosted by **40%**.

EA has clearly been listening to player feedback and acknowledges that the previous XP gain rate was insufficient. But that’s not all.

The XP needed to unlock the first 20 Attachment Ranks has been reduced. Additionally, Assignments that previously required Career Ranks 20, 23, and 26 to begin will now require only Career Ranks 10, 15, and 20, respectively.

“We’ve heard your feedback around the pace of progression, especially how long it can take to unlock hardware such as gadgets and weapon attachments,” the Battlefield team said in a community update. “We know progression is an important part of feeling rewarded for your time on the battlefield.”

### Striking the Right Balance

The goal of these changes is to ensure the progression experience in Battlefield 6 is both smoother and more rewarding while retaining the sense of achievement that comes from mastering a weapon.

It’s admittedly a delicate balance — players want to feel they’ve earned their unlocks, but progression should never feel like a chore. After all, this is a video game.

### Reverting Changes to Conquest Tickets

Along with progression updates, the Battlefield team also addressed another hot-button issue: tickets in Conquest mode.

Recently, the starting ticket count for various Conquest maps was reduced “so matches finish at a more natural pace.” However, this change divided fans.

Based on player feedback, EA is reverting this adjustment. Starting tickets for Conquest mode will return to their original launch value of **1,000 tickets** with **45-minute timed rounds**.

With these updates, Battlefield 6’s multiplayer experience is becoming more user-friendly and better aligned with what the community wants. Whether you’re grinding for unlocks or diving into Conquest battles, these changes should make your time on the battlefield more enjoyable.
