Battlefield 6 Developer Details Destruction Mechanics in the Game

Battlefield 6 is barreling down the pipeline, slated to drop on October 10. If you haven’t heard, environmental destruction is set to really mess with players, but—surprise, surprise—it won’t be instant. David Sirland, one of the big names behind the game, spilled the beans on this.

I mean, imagine, you’re in the middle of a shootout, and suddenly a building starts collapsing—sounds wild, right? You’d think it’d crush you immediately, but nope. Apparently, it takes a bit for the chaos to chip away at your health. Sirland was chatting on Twitter and explained that they want the game to be more about fun instead of random chaos—so, getting squished under a falling wall is kind of gradual. Stay long enough, and yeah, you’ll take more damage. Makes sense? I guess.

Now, another quirky bit: Battlefield 6’s beta had folks flocking to Steam in droves! Over 500,000 players were already diving in. It’s already breaking records and leaving Call of Duty scratching its head. The hype is real, my friends.

But let’s rewind for a sec—it wasn’t just about the numbers. People were talking, buzzing even, about what went down in the beta. Sirland’s comments are giving players a clearer picture of how destruction will—or won’t—impact gameplay. Though whether it’s going to stick to this damage scheme by launch or change remains a fun mystery.

And speaking of the beta, mark your calendars! There’s another round from August 14 to 17. Whether this second crack at the game will top the first outing, well, we’ll just have to wait and see.

Anyway, Battlefield 6. It’s set to drop pretty soon, and with these tweaks and promises, it sounds like something to keep an eye on. The game, packed with the Frostbite engine’s goodness and all that multiplayer madness, looks like it’s gearing up to deliver quite the ride. But, honestly, who knows what twists and tweaks are waiting ‘til release day?
