Battlefield 6's XP rates are being increased following player feedback, EA confirms

Battlefield 6 will soon be getting tweaks to speed up the earning of XP and the unlocking of gadgets and weapon attachments, following widespread community complaints about sluggish progression systems.

The details:

• In a community update posted on X, Battlefield Studios announced that it will be updating the game within the next week to address concerns from players around the world about how long it takes to unlock equipment.
• Changes include increasing the amount of XP players gain by completing a match by 10% and increasing the amount of XP they gain from their daily bonus by 40%. The amount of XP needed to unlock the first 20 attachment ranks is also being reduced, with the studio stating that players will "start earning useful attachments almost twice as fast.”
• Players have also been complaining that it takes too long to level up enough to unlock assignments, with a significant number of the game’s guns and equipment locked behind the challenges. According to the studio, the assignments that required career rank 20, 23, and 26 will now be unlocked at career rank 10, 15, and 20, respectively.
• It also acknowledged that some players have been frustrated with the challenges set by these assignments, saying, "We are aware of the frustrations regarding the challenges themselves and are actively working on reviewing them, but it will take more time to develop, test, and implement these changes."
• In addition to the XP tweaks, Battlefield Studios is investigating the issue of Portal servers reaching capacity due to XP farming. After reviewing the data, the studio discovered that a large number of these servers were created primarily to earn XP, inflate player stats, and collect accolades by defeating bots.
