Hey everyone, Top Gun gave players a substantial new wave of content, particularly around air and naval warfare, and we’ve seen many of you continuing to jump in and enjoy the collaboration. As we previously shared, Carrier Strike and Fighter Sweep have been extended through the entirety of Season 4.

We’ve resolved the issue affecting the Match Trigger attachment. After Update 1.4.2.5, we re-enabled this attachment for both EF88 and BROD3.

It may take some time for this update to reflect across all active matches.

We recently made changes to the Battle Royale playlist to improve the Ranked matchmaking experience, particularly in lower-population regions. We're continuing to work on areas where the experience can still be improved.

Currently, players across a wide range of ranks can be placed into the same matches, which can make it harder to consistently deliver the competitive experience we want for Ranked.

Today, we're releasing a backend update that puts greater emphasis on finding players closer to your rank when matchmaking begins. If a match cannot be found, the search will gradually broaden over time to include a wider range of ranks, balancing competitive match quality with the time it takes to find a match.

This may mean some Ranked queues take longer, but should result in players being matched more closely by rank. If you're waiting for a match, cancelling and restarting your search will not help you find one faster. Restarting resets the search, rather than allowing it to continue broadening.

Starting today, we'll be testing these changes in the live game as part of our ongoing Battlefield Labs in Live work with Ranked Battle Royale. We'll use what we learn to continue tuning the system as we work toward a stronger Ranked experience.

Thanks, @role-name / @role-name.

This small quality-of-life update focuses on combat improvements, Custom Lobby reliability, gameplay polish, and fixes across several modes and features, @role-name.

Tomorrow, September 1, we're launching a small update for Battlefield 6 and REDSEC. Head over to the 1.4.2.5 update notes for the full list of changes here on Discord or on our website.

Update Highlights for 1.4.2.5

• Gadget and Vehicle Combat Improvements: Laser designation now works correctly against fighter jets in Carrier Strike, while helicopter miniguns can once again damage soldiers in the water.
• Portal Custom Lobby Improvements: Custom Lobbies receive further reliability improvements, including resolving an issue that could prevent the “Start” tile from responding during the lobby countdown.
• Gameplay and Mode Polish: This update also addresses issues affecting Battle Royale Quads, Gauntlet: Fighter Sweep, Support pings, the Match Trigger attachment, AI behavior, and general stability and presentation.

With the conclusion of our first season of Ranked Mode, we have gained deeper insights into the competitive landscape of REDSEC. While Season 4 introduces new ways to play, we have observed new methods of cheating, which we are now actively analyzing and countering to maintain match integrity. One of those will be around the enforcement of TPM 2.0 standards we previously relaxed and observed bad actors taking advantage of during Season 3. We’ve worked with manufacturers to resolve issues that could have affected legitimate players, minimizing the impact so we can confidently enable this enforcement going forward from today.

Pilots,

We’re overjoyed that our Top Gun collaboration has resonated with so many of our players and are happy to announce that we will be extending Carrier Strike and Gauntlet: Fighter Sweep through the entirety of Season 4.

A modified version of Carrier Strike will return in Season 6.

See you in the danger zone. @role-name

We've now completed a minor Portal backend update. As a result, all Verified Experiences have been unpublished and will need to be re-saved before they can be published again.

No other action is required. @role-name

We are actively tracking several issues reported by the community. Below is the latest status update on these concerns:

Laser Designator Locking Issues on New Jets We have confirmed an issue where the Laser Designator equipment fails to lock onto or paint the newly added F/A-81F Super Spectre and F-74A Seacat jets. This targeting issue is isolated to these two aircraft and all other vehicles are unaffected. Our team is working on a fix and we will share updates as soon as they are available.

Camera "Whip" Issue We are tracking an issue where the third-person vehicle camera can briefly jump or snap while driving, disrupting visibility and aiming. The team is working towards a fix and we will share an update once we have more information.

Update on Strikepoint During testing, we identified additional technical issues with Strikepoint that need to be addressed before the mode can return. We do not have a fix ready at this time, but the team is continuing to investigate and work through these issues.

Thank you for your continued feedback and patience as we work through these. @role-name
