Battlefield 6 gets a new map today alongside major changes to controller aim assist, and even more weapon dispersion tweaks

"The update, of course, also adds new content to the game in the form of the map Eastwood, as well as new hardware and fresh features for the multiplayer sandbox. We've known about the new content side of today's patch for quite some time. The update kicks off the California Resistance stage of Season 1, which is the second of three. The new Eastwood map takes place in California, and it's a map cut from the larger Battlefield Redsec battle royale map of Fort Lyndon."

"There's a new limited-time mode called Sabotage - a tactical, 8v8 mode where two teams attempt to destroy as many bomb sites as possible. The other big new feature that arrives today is Battle Pickups. These are powerful weapons which can be found in specific game modes (and in Portal), scattered around the map for players to pick up and use. They have limited ammo that cannot be replenished, and deliver incredible firepower."

"The fixes and tweaks side of the patch is arguably the more interesting. Controller aim assist has received a big overhaul that essentially resets everything to open beta settings. The goal is to make infantry targeting more consistent. Controller players actually get the bulk of the changes in this update, which also improves input latency and stick response. Several issues that reset aim assist values, or make it behave erratically, have been addressed."

Season 1 has entered its second phase with update 1.1.2.0, introducing the Eastwood map set in California and derived from Fort Lyndon. The update begins the California Resistance stage and adds a limited-time Sabotage 8v8 mode focused on bomb site destruction. Battle Pickups provide powerful, limited-ammo weapons placed across maps and Portal. Redsec gains a Gauntlet mission called Rodeo centered on vehicular action. Two weapons unlock: DB-12 shotgun and M327 Trait revolver, plus a new angled grip attachment. Controller aim assist is overhauled to open beta settings, improving infantry targeting, input latency, and stick response, and multiple aim-assist bugs were fixed.
