r/Battlefield_REDSEC

why can i not play with my silver friend when im gold rank but when i play with randoms i get a master in my party and also get matches against masters in the game?

So I noticed recon have a new path with the jammer and I wanted to know if you have any good uses with it.

Does it feel strong to you or underpowered and why?

I personally want to like it but you cant deny the drone it's massively more useful just to scout but maybe I'm missing something.

Would you improve it, if so how?

Why does it take like 3+ shots to down someone in RedSec compared to other battle royales like warzone one shot to the head down, two shots max down. Snipers were not broken before, the SVDM and KTS are the most broken guns in the game. The casual bot players are acting like it was easy to snipe and everyone was doing it… yeah try hitting guys that are doing micro movements and zig zag. Roll back the update and let people enjoy sniping again cause right now it makes no sense to use snipers. It’s boring using the KTS and SVDM for long range all the time. I have my crosshairs on an enemy 100m or less directly on their chest and my shots miss. The hit registration is disgusting. These are my sniper stats on RedSec, I’m not the best but I’m decent at sniping.

Just ran into a top250/crimson team that had a player crouching/uncrouching repeatedly as he shot. Is this some sort of hitbox obscuring macro or something?

I’ve been seeing a lot of people blame ping or “skill issue” for hit registration and dying behind cover — but at this point, that explanation doesn’t really hold up.

I’m playing under pretty controlled conditions:

- ~20–30 ms latency

- stable FPS (no drops during fights)

- no packet loss

And I’m still consistently experiencing:

- delayed damage after shots clearly land

- deaths after reaching cover

- inconsistent hit registration in close-range fights

This isn’t just a one-off either — it’s reproducible across multiple official servers.

What’s confusing is that the Season 3 patch notes specifically mention improvements to:

- hit registration consistency

- delayed damage

- “reduced cases of dying behind cover”

But in practice, it either hasn’t improved or feels more noticeable now.

I even posted a full breakdown + clip on the official EA forums:

https://forums.ea.com/discussions/battlefield-6-general-discussion-en/re-battlefield-6-season-3-performance-and-netcode-issues/13377660

An EA Community Manager acknowledged the issue and said they’re collecting patterns — which is good — but it also confirms this isn’t just isolated complaints.

At this point it feels like the update improved how the game *looks* (hit feedback, UI responsiveness), but not how it actually *behaves* server-side.

If players on ~20 ms are experiencing the same issues as players on 70–90 ms, then this isn’t just a latency problem — it’s a consistency problem.

It almost feels like the game is correcting state in bursts rather than continuously, especially during engagements, which makes gunfights feel unpredictable and out of sync.

Curious if other low-ping players are seeing the same thing — because right now, the core gunplay just doesn’t feel reliable.

See? It's been about two months and the developers still haven't shown any interest.

FIX THE GODDAMN HIT REGISTRATION! YOU DUMB FUCKS WERE SUPPOSED TO FIX IT AND YOU MADE IT WORSE! WHY ARE YOU ACTIVELY TRYING TO DRIVE AWAY THE PLAYER BASE!

I understand they added bloom to higher DPS weapons, I get it, but the amount of times I have tap fired my weapons close range and lost gun fights ive never lost before is BULLSHIT. The SCW just doesnt register. No matter what my build is. its trash now.

I have 7 different recordings from my stream showing me emptying my full magazine into a player within 10m and not a single bullet registers. 2 of those clips have a player that doesnt move and im standing right behind them unloading the magazine into them and NOT A SINGLE BULLET EVEN GIVES ME A HITMARKER.

Its bad enough that 90% of ranked lobbies are East servers so as a west coast player im always on 75-90 ping but this is fuckin ridiculous. You guys are so braindead at DICE that every single update you release somehow manages to OUT FUCK the previous one.

And for any of the trolls who want to just scream "skill issue" because you have nothing better to do than troll reddit threads, I am currently ranked 215 on PC Ranked RedSec. Im doing my best to continue giving this game a chance but jesus christ DICE makes it so damn hard to just enjoy the game.

Does Casual BR contribute to your winning streak?
I wanna unlock the 6 consecutive wins sticker

I bought this game when i was promised bots so that me and my girlfriend could play. She is too scared to play against people unfortunately. they removed bots... CMON!

Was still kinds excited for Battle Royal but then realized there is no Solo mode... WTF

A few days ago i read that Solo BR was introduced so i downloaded the game again with a little bit of excitement. And there is no Solo... Realized they only allow solo every other week?! Whats is going on with this company? Last battlefield ill ever buy. So sad

In which Discord do you find LFG players?

Looking to climb up a little bit in ranked and would like to do that faster than at the moment.

Thanks

Just because you're bad at the game doesn't mean the rest of the good players should suffer. That's totally unfair. R.I.P Sniper Rifles.

Thanks for attending my TED Talk.

Snipers are dead. No reason to use them anymore. Since the update came out, I’ve hit a headshot with the ESR for 130 dmg, next shot was 42 dmg. Didn’t get a down. I agree that snipers should NOT one shot headshot but if I hit a headshot, my follow up shot should down the player no matter what, even if its a “limb shot”. Keep the same bullet velocity as it is rn to reward it more, I don’t care. Theres no reason to use a sniper when you can spam the SVDM with the same amount of bullet velocity, 8x the rate of fire, no bloom, and 31 damage AT MINIMUM per shot.

Since the update, I’ve had my squad run the SVDM exclusively for their long range option and we’ve won more games recently than normal. The long range bloom on every gun has been increased significantly. Once more of the playerbase catches on, it will turn into SVDM spam like you’ve never seen before and it will be the first gun that truly NEEDS a nerf in this game mode. I guarantee if you have played this game long enough, you have maxed out a KTS off ground loot or used your custom class with it and realized the bloom on it is exponentially worse than it has been before. There is no other long range option thats as viable as the SVDM as the game currently is right now, and I hate DMR meta.

I play almost exclusively ranked and currently ranked as a Master. If I’m playing ranked, I’m using the best guns available and right now nothing comes close to the SVDM. Snipers are completely dead and if they want to bring some variety back into this game like it was before then damage with snipers needs to be reverted or reworked.

I shouldn't do 41 damage as a bodyshot with a high powered rifle, 50 was already pretty low but 41 damage is insulting, why do you punish players with better aim? Even at a 20 meter range I do 40 damage. Might as well just use a DMR at this point... even at range (200m+) the max damage of a sniper in headshot, where it is arguably harder to hit someone, is 109.

Stupid decision to include snipers and DMR in the TTK changes, it was rewarding to good players but as the bloom demonstrate, you just want to protect the casual player who plays a few hours a week instead of the veteran one who actively plays your ''fps'' game

I was 600 away from master 5. The highest rank I can reasonably get.

Now I’m about 1500 away because of the update. Once I hit master 5 I’m done done.

There is no talent left at dice. They seemed to have gone to embark.
