SNACK: 3-line summary
- Battlefield 6 has rolled back backend configuration changes made following Season 5.
- The developers say the changes unintentionally affected XP earn rates across modes and equipment progression, including weapons.
- The team is monitoring telemetry to ensure earn rates return to their intended levels.
Battlefield 6 has rolled back backend configuration changes made following Season 5 after the developers said they caused unintended progression issues. BattlefieldComms announced the reversal on October 15.

Both XP gains and weapon progression were affected
The issue affected XP earn rates across modes, alongside progression for equipment such as weapons. The official statement identified both areas without limiting the problem to a single mode.
Snackgirls react
Red: If I’m putting match after match into a weapon, I want that effort to count. I’d rather chase the next fight than keep checking whether the progress bar moved.
Nea: I’d like to follow friends into a different mode without worrying about slowing my progression. Being able to choose a mode just because it sounds fun matters to me.
The rollback is in place, but monitoring continues
The team says it is monitoring telemetry to ensure earn rates return to their intended levels. That leaves a distinction for players: the configuration changes have been reverted, but the announcement does not mean progression is already back to normal for everyone.
