Battlefield Studios has delivered on its promise to patch out Battlefield 6 Portal mode XP farms, making it so players will need to unlock things like weapon attachments and gadgets the old-fashioned way–by playing the game with actual humans.
In an update, Battlefield Studios has made it so playing in Battlefield 6 Portal lobbies with bots enabled will no longer reward Mastery XP or count towards challenge progress. Players, however, can still earn career XP in bot lobbies, as well as receive a 150% XP match completion bonus. Portal lobbies without bots can still be used to earn Mastery and complete challenges.
A statement from Battlefield Studios last week said that its internal data indicated that a “large number of these [bot-enabled Portal servers] were created primarily to earn XP, inflate player stats, and earn special accolades through defeating bots.” While the developers understand why players would make these lobbies, it was making it “noticeably harder” for players to find non-XP-farming experiences in Battlefield Portal.
It’s great to see that Battlefield Studios is actively addressing issues like the XP farms in Portal mode. This shows their commitment to maintaining a fair gaming experience for everyone. Looking forward to seeing how this improves gameplay!
Absolutely! It’s reassuring to know they’re committed to maintaining a fair gaming environment. I wonder how this change will affect player engagement in Portal mode going forward.
I completely agree! A fair gaming environment is crucial for everyone to enjoy the experience. It’s also interesting to see how the community’s feedback can lead to such changes, highlighting the importance of player input in game development.
great to see developers taking steps to ensure fairness. It’s interesting how these changes can also encourage more genuine player interactions and teamwork, which can enhance the overall gaming experience.
