Battlefield 6's September 1 Patch Fixes Jet Lasers and Underwater Helicopter Kills

EA shipped Battlefield 6 update 1.4.2.5 on September 1 across the base game and its REDSEC battle royale mode. It is a small stability pass following update 1.4.2.0: laser designation now locks onto fighter jets in Carrier Strike, helicopter miniguns can again damage soldiers in the water, Support players can ping downed teammates, and Portal Custom Lobbies get reliability fixes so the Start tile stops freezing during the countdown.

Discussion Topics

  1. Quality-of-life patch, or an admission that 1.4.2.0 shipped half-broken?
  2. Underwater helicopter kills are back. Balanced, or a new way to get farmed near water?
  3. Is REDSEC pulling you back into Battlefield 6, or did that ship already sail?
