It appears Battlefield 6 has received a stealthy backend update that tweaks the way your player stats are tracked. Now, EA’s military shooter will seemingly no longer count the bots you kill in a match, but if you get blasted by a bot, that death will still show up in your stats sheet for now.
According to a November 18 X post by the community news source Battlefield Bulletin, the update was deployed to make the game’s stats accurate and fair. If you visit your profile page now, you may see a significant drop in your kill-death ratio, possibly suggesting that many of the kills in that stat were merely on bots.

Retired competitive pro player Otto “ottr” Boström highlighted this change on his X account, posting a side-by-side comparison of what appears to be his Battlefield 6 profile page on November 18. In one image, he had 88,838 kills, with a 92.950 average K/D. In the subsequent image, his kills dropped to 24,227, with his K/D falling to 3.814. Boström believes this will “expose a lot of players out there.”
