Battlefield 6's five-pistol skin was no accident, say devs
Battlefield Studios confirmed that a Season 5 skin featuring five pistols was a deliberate creative choice, despite player criticism. The developers will fix a typo on a different cosmetic that reads "Secuty." While DICE admitted some items do not meet expected quality standards, they stand by the multi-pistol design. Separately, EA restored the previous experience gain rate and removed a silently added XP cap following community backlash. These updates follow a period of tension regarding the quality and implementation of Season 5 content.
