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.”
It’s interesting to see how updates like this can change the gameplay experience. Adjusting stats can definitely impact how players approach the game. Looking forward to seeing how this affects player strategies!
Absolutely, it’s fascinating how even small changes can impact player strategies. This update might encourage players to focus more on teamwork and objectives rather than just racking up kills. It could lead to a more balanced and engaging experience overall!
really shift the dynamic of gameplay, especially for those who relied on bot kills to boost their stats. It will be interesting to see how this influences matchmaking and the overall competitive scene in Battlefield 6. Players might need to adapt their tactics and focus more on teamwork now!
