Battlefield 6 Update 1.1.3.6: Small Patch, Big Relief

If you’ve been living on the Battlefield lately (same), EA and DICE are dropping a new update that’s all about fixing the little things that have been quietly driving players insane.

Update 1.1.3.6 isn’t a flashy content drop. There are no new maps, no shiny modes, and no cinematic trailers pretending this changes everything. Instead, this update focuses on quality-of-life improvements, stability fixes, and cleaning up some long-standing issues the community has been loudly sometimes aggressively pointing out.

Honestly?

That’s exactly what Battlefield 6 needs right now.

When Is the Update Going Live?

The update is scheduled for Tuesday, February 3 at 09:00 UTC, which translates to:

• 2:00 AM PST

• 5:00 AM EST

  
  

It’s a relatively small download, but the impact should be noticeable once you’re boots-on-the-ground.

What’s the Goal of This Update?

According to EA and DICE, this patch is about:

• Improving overall game stability

• Fixing movement inconsistencies

• Cleaning up UI and audio issues

• Addressing map-specific visual bugs

• Polishing REDSEC Battle Royale gameplay

  
  

No system reworks. No surprise nerfs. Just fixes where fixes were overdue.

Movement Finally Gets a Reality Check

One of the most welcome changes is a fix to inconsistent sprint-jump momentum. Players had discovered ways to gain unintended speed boosts, or lose momentum entirely, depending on how movement inputs were chained.

This update targets those edge cases without touching Battlefield’s core movement feel. Translation: less exploit abuse, more consistent gunfights, and fewer “how did that guy move like that?” moments.

Yes, the infamous “bouncy castle meta” appears to be officially dead. Pour one out.

Cosmetics Get a Quiet Tune-Up

Following community backlash, DICE has revised the Objective Ace and Winter Warning cosmetic sets. The changes aim to better align them with Battlefield’s established visual identity after players raised concerns about AI-generated elements and similarities to cosmetics from other franchises.

It’s not a dramatic overhaul, but it is an acknowledgment, and that matters.

Eastwood Map Fixes (Finally)

Eastwood has been the source of some truly cursed visual bugs, especially around destruction. This update resolves several immersion-breaking issues, including:

• Random green or purple effects when destroying buildings near the A flag

• Complete lighting blackouts near the B flag

• Overly bright visual artifacts around the villa

  
  

In short: Eastwood should now look like a warzone, not a broken graphics card.

UI and HUD Improvements

A couple of small but meaningful quality-of-life changes:

• Downed squad mates will no longer appear on the minimap for classes that can’t revive them

• Updated legal text to reflect current policies (boring, but necessary)

  
  

Less clutter. Less confusion. More situational awareness.

Audio Fixes That Actually Matter

Enemy detection audio from the UAV Drone will now only be heard by the player operating it, rather than the entire team.

This cuts down on unnecessary audio spam and makes UAV usage more tactical instead of just loud.

Performance and Stability Updates

Platform-specific issues were also addressed:

• PlayStation 5: Fixed connectivity drops caused by ownership validation during system events

• Xbox Series S: Resolved out-of-memory crashes tied to loading Daily and Weekly Challenges

These fixes won’t grab headlines, but they absolutely improve day-to-day play.

REDSEC Battle Royale Gets Some Love

Players grinding REDSEC should notice several improvements:

• Initiation matches now properly end after defeating the final AI opponent

• Parachutes no longer remain linked after breaking from the jump leader

• Fixed rare cases of players getting stuck mid-air during insertion

  
  

UI fixes were also rolled out:

• Second Chance redeploy icons now behave correctly

• Timers no longer reset every time the map is opened

  
  

Overall, REDSEC should feel smoother, more reliable, and less… janky.

Community Reaction So Far

Early reactions across social media have been mostly positive. Players are happy to see movement exploits addressed and cosmetic concerns acknowledged. While no one’s calling this a “game-saving” patch, the general mood is that DICE is finally tightening the bolts instead of adding more loose parts.

Many players see this as a necessary setup update ahead of Season 2, which is expected around February 17.

Final Verdict

Battlefield 6 Update 1.1.3.6 won’t blow your mind—but it doesn’t need to. This is the kind of update that makes the game feel better in a hundred small ways, and those add up fast.

If you’re part of the 1776 Gaming Community, jump into our Discord after the patch goes live and let us know how it feels. We’ll be testing everything from movement to REDSEC drops.

As always, keep the feedback coming, DICE is clearly listening this time.
