Battlefield 6 Developer Details Destruction Damage Mechanics

Okay, let’s dive right into this Battlefield 6 stuff. So, you’ve got this guy, David Sirland, right? He’s like one of the big brains behind the game. He said something about destruction damage. Apparently, it doesn’t just smack you instantaneously. Which is kinda like getting caught in a slow-motion disaster movie. Why didn’t I realize that before? Anyway, Battlefield 6 is gearing up for its full orchestral release on October 10. Mark your calendars, folks.

Now, if you’re one of those thousands who got in on the beta, wow — you’re not alone. Like half a million people were all like, “Yeah, let’s blow stuff up in the beta!” It was wild over on Steam, that’s for sure. And guess what? Apparently, it’s outshining Call of Duty. I didn’t see that coming. Well, maybe I did, but let’s pretend I didn’t.

So, some player on Twitter was all confused about why a crumbling wall didn’t bench press them immediately. David cleared it up by saying, “Hey, we don’t want randomness, but fun!” Like, duh, right? And if you hang out under falling stuff long enough, it will eventually squash you like a potato pancake, especially if it’s big debris. David also hinted they’ll tweak this some more. I guess that means more squashing or less? We’ll see.

It is good news though. For those who still had that niggling worry about how destruction would actually work — breathe easy. Your questions about deliberately standing under collapsing structures might soon have answers. Just what every gamer’s waiting for — deliberate squashing mechanics. Are you staying with me here?

Oh, and speaking of bashing away at another beta — it’s back already. From August 14 to 17, gear up to check out what’s new or unchanged. Who knows if this second whack at the beta will be bigger than the first? Maybe it’ll explode like a firework. Or maybe not.

So, Battlefield 6, with its odd quirks and everything, is set to hit us full force soon. And yeah, it’s got that Frostbite engine backing it up, which feels pretty robust. Multiplayer madness awaits! See you on the battlefield — virtually speaking.
