r/RedSec

Matchmaking is totally broken, in RedSec you have to restart the game after every match so the next match can start.

It looks like this update was entirely vibecoded and released without testing.

PS5 player here and I can't seem to get a full lobby when trying to play regular Battle Royale Quads - Note, I have crossplay off and have never had issues finding full lobbies until this past weekend. I haven't been able to find a regular lobby for DAYS!!!!!

I never see it, but it's been used on me a couple times. Is it legit and just rare or is it something unlocked though cheats?

Ranked with a random party is so atrociously bad I can't handle it. The amount of people who don't turn their mic on is crazy. Why is there not a feature to find a party in the game so I can actually find people who actually want to play.

I've been waiting for a major REDSEC update to address the issues that have been defining ranked for months, but I haven't seen any meaningful changes.

At this point, the issue isn't that the meta needs to change every few weeks. A competitive game needs some stability. The problem is that we've basically been playing around the same dominant setup for multiple seasons, and the game has done very little to challenge it.

DMRs (SVDM), SCW-10, and the KTS continue to dictate far too much of how higher-level matches are played. If you're trying to be competitive, you're heavily incentivized to run what everyone else is running because the alternatives aren't strong enough or consistent enough to justify putting yourself at a disadvantage.

Meanwhile, some of the balance changes we've received seem to be in the wrong direction. Snipers were competing for a fairly specific role. Yet, they got hit hard with the nerf-bat while the weapons shaping the ranked meta were largely allowed to continue doing exactly what they've been doing. In fact, they made all the current meta weapons better by lowering recoil across the board. Sure, that may have brought 2-3 more weapons into vague consideration if you're desperate to avoid the SVDM or KTS. Still, those recoil reductions only made the current weapons stronger than they already were. My mind was blown reading the recoil reduction update and seeing the KTS was becoming more of a laser beam than it already was.

That's the frustrating part.

I don't want random balance changes to make the game feel different. I want the developers to look at what players are actually using in ranked, understand why they're using it, and start creating legitimate tradeoffs between weapon classes.

A healthy meta shouldn't mean making the current best guns useless. It should mean giving players several genuinely competitive options depending on their playstyle, range, team composition, and situation.

You can add content, maps, features, and progression, but if every major update drops and ranked players immediately return to essentially the same loadouts they've been using for months, the underlying problem hasn't been addressed.

At some point, the weapon sandbox needs a serious balance pass, not another round of minor adjustments around the edges. If they need to start balancing the guns differently between regular BF6 and REDSEC, then I hope they do, because aside from the bugs we all know and love, the current weapon balancing kills the enjoyment of the game for me more than anything else.

The match making in ranked mode is very unbalanced and not fair at all, I’m platinum 1 and lost over 500 rp last night to the point I’ve almost been demoted because for some reason this past week all I get paired up with is a ton of Rockies and bronze maybe a gold here and there yet get put in matches with platinum diamonds masters and elites, why can’t I party up with friends that’s bronze but get random bronze players that don’t talk or communicate any? Then on top of it if I back out of a lobby with 15 seconds BEFORE even in the heli screen I get penalty of 50 rp like wtf I was not even in heli or loaded in the map yet, I don’t have party finder and have everything turned on, this is very unbalanced and not fair to only have party finder for a few players and not everyone

If people actually played Warzone 2.0 they would know how bad RedSec actually is. The only difference between the two is literally style of play (breaking buildings, custom loadout drops, fire storm, etc…) other than that, the TTK is the same, the plating is the same (slow and ineffective at most) and the need for teammates is dire , ALL SQUAD fights are literally trade offs, everyone trading kills, it’s literally impossible to stay alive after one fight 1v1 unless you get the out right advantage, and the amount of bugs is so disrespectful it almost feels like nobody is working on the game to fix BUGS. I’m not talking about the store, adding guns, I’m talking about the BUGS. And everyone is saying Battlefield is known for bugs, like that’s a good thing. ITS NOT A GOOD THING FOR A GAMING COMPANY TO BE KNOWN TO HAVE BUGS. This game actually makes me miss Warzone and Call of Duty because even though Warzone and CoD MP has its cons. The bugs in Battlefield make CoD feel perfect, no exaggeration. Really disappointed in their lack of attention to the bugs and I don’t want to hear about Battlefield Labs, it’s been 3 seasons.

Anyone interested in making a squad up on Redsec & multiplayer, I’m sick of being a solo and getting different random players every new game.
