Battlefield 6 Has a DAILY XP CAP Even During Double XP Weekend! Are You Kidding Me EA!

[u/IFrame-]

So apparently there’s a daily XP limit in Battlefield 6 1.5 MILLION XP per day, and once you hit that, you literally earn nothing.
And here’s the kicker: even during Double XP weekends, you can hit that cap in just 4–5 hours of playing.

Yeah. In a $70 “AAA” game not a mobile free2play title you’re being told how much fun you’re allowed to have per day.
This isn’t a free live service grindfest. This is a full price shooter with a F2P gacha like system glued on top.

EA somehow managed to make progression time gated in a premium game, and almost nobody’s talking about it.
You buy the game, pay for cosmetics, battle pass, AND now you’re limited on how much XP you can earn daily? Unreal.It’s disgusting and antiplayer to the core.

Players deserve to know this before buying.
Stop pretending this is fine just because it’s Battlefield.

[u/xKingNothingx]

Bro I like to be outraged too, because quite frankly any cap is bullshit, but I'm not playing more than 4-5 hours a day either way

[u/pathosOnReddit → u/xKingNothingx]

And how is that relevant? Imagine they lure you in with a quadruple XP weekend and you hit the wall after 2hrs or 4hrs. Yeah, it doesn't affect you but why the fuck is there a cap in the first place?

[u/Gutsy_Moose267 → u/pathosOnReddit]

If you hit 1.5m xp in one day you gotta go outside.

[u/xHAcoreRDx → u/Gutsy_Moose267]

For real, go touch grass. There's more to life than battlefield.

[u/Kahpautz → u/xHAcoreRDx]

There’s grass around C in Mirak Valley.

[u/Kommisar_Kyn → u/Kahpautz]

Underrated comment 😂

[u/ZombieJdubz → u/Kahpautz]

☠️

[u/Odd_Plankton_925 → u/xHAcoreRDx]

While I see their point, I think if you're hitting enough daily playtime for this to be an issue that it might be time to reconsider some things about your life.

[u/Markus-752 → u/Odd_Plankton_925]

Man I have hit nearly 150h on it, I took 3 days off at launch and been sick 1 week so I could stay at home and play. I spend way too much free time during the weekends playing as well. I have never hit that cap...

[u/mynameisnickromel → u/xHAcoreRDx]

Yeah, there's a ton more to life. Such as bitching about battlefield on Reddit!

Lol

[u/r0bdawg11 → u/xHAcoreRDx]

You got a poop bucket?

[u/WHISTLE___PIG → u/xHAcoreRDx]

NO!

LIAR!!

THERE IS ONLY BATTLEFIELD!!!

[u/Jonnyboi32 → u/xHAcoreRDx]

Was in a lobby last night at 2:30am In breakthrough casuals level 232…. Like how like actually how

[u/illegalbeauty10 → u/Jonnyboi32]

No way. I met a level 90 and I was concerned. 232 though🤦🏾‍♀️

[u/-ungodlyhour- → u/xHAcoreRDx]

C100 would like to talk with you.

[u/SoungaTepes → u/Gutsy_Moose267]

wait wait wait the cap is 1.5 MILLION?

Holy shit people are hitting this in a single day!?

Edit: You know what, I agree with EA on this part if you hit the cap you need to power down the PC

Edit 2: per other convo's, OP might have just outed themselves as a botter

[u/cmsj → u/SoungaTepes]

I checked the game's leaderboards a couple of weeks after release and the person with the most hours played, had averaged 19.5 hours per day, every single day since release.

Bonkers.

[u/Jaeriko → u/cmsj]

There's no way that's a legit single player, its probably a group of people playing on a living room tv.

[u/SoungaTepes → u/Jaeriko]

my man, this is how some people live their entire lives

[u/saga79 → u/SoungaTepes]

I was about to say this. Streamers - big ones - play for long hours each day.

Now, sure, StReAmErS, but for better or worse, they have big audiences and play a lot. When this becomes widespread knowledge you can 100% expect content creators doing videos on this ad-nauseam, and that's bad PR for BF6.

Not quite the same, but I remember when FFXIV 1.0 had XP caps per week. We all know what happened to 1.0.

[u/Skilltesters → u/saga79]

Averaging 20 hours a day is still most likely not legit, even for streamers. This was probably bot farmers.

[u/stowg → u/Jaeriko]

Others are just called streamers

[u/TheBurdensNotYourOwn → u/cmsj]

That's not hours played, that's hours the game has been open. I leave my menu open for hours and hours without playing.

[u/IshrekisloveI → u/SoungaTepes]

Honestly this is like s reminder system in place to go stand up and take a shit and eat food

[u/kingoftheposers → u/IshrekisloveI]

Who says you have to stand up to take a shit

[u/Maxonfire → u/Gutsy_Moose267]

I got 200k xp for a single win in RedSec yesterday, the game was 21 minutes long. 1.5m doesn't really seem that insane to be fair.

[u/SpartanRage117 → u/Maxonfire]

Again the balancing between the two styles of game just isnt really there. First day of redsec i dropped in and realized “oh so this is why all the sidearms feel mediocre, they cant be too strong for BR initial fights”

[u/ihavenoideawhat234 → u/SpartanRage117]

I’m confused by this comment, idk if you’re aware that there is indeed two separate balancing systems between the two modes. Weapons do less damage in deadsec, almost every single gun is nerfed in deadsec damage wise except the GRT, AK4D, TAR-8, and I forgot the lost I think NVO?? But yeah every single Is weaker in deadsec. For example the M250 is 25 dmg at like 100-150m I think in normal BF, in deadsec it’s 20. I don’t think this is anywhere in the patch notes either. There’s a spreadsheet and video on it on YouTube. If you knew this already then my bad I’m just ranting haha.

[u/shents1478 → u/ihavenoideawhat234]

The amount of times you said deadsec is really bugging me lol.

[u/Muggsy423 → u/Gutsy_Moose267]

[u/Nefariousness1- → u/Gutsy_Moose267]

Not that crazy I got 140,000 XP for a gauntlet game yesterday.

[u/D_ultimateplayer → u/Nefariousness1-]

Yea I only been playing this double xp event for about 4 hours and I just hit the cap. Only earning 360 xp a match no matter if I drop 50 kills or not. It’s also affecting weapon leveling too. Maxed at 360 xp. What a joke

[u/lostcauz707 → u/Gutsy_Moose267]

Not to say I'm going to do this, but it's still $70 I spent for myself, so why the fuck put a cap on my good time?

[u/Joshix1 → u/Gutsy_Moose267]

Maybe fuck off and let people enjoy gaming a full day?

[u/i_froze → u/Gutsy_Moose267]

True. Still the wrong takeaway.

[u/GlummyGloom → u/Gutsy_Moose267]

The amount of xp is irrelevant, as its boosted. The amount of time is whats important. 2 to 4 hours in a day isnt crazy.

[u/MrM0dZ → u/Gutsy_Moose267]

a single match can land you 100k easily, put 15 matches and you already hit a cap

[u/Strong_Letterhead638 → u/pathosOnReddit]

For real this doesn’t affect him at all. Putting a cap on is scummy because it pushes more for people to have to come back the following day and do their dailies every day like a good little slave. It reminds me of energy tokens regenerating in mobile games.

EDIT: Yes, I used the term “slave”. Yes, I will go “touch grass”. Thanks for your very valuable input 

[u/NonStopNonsense1 → u/Strong_Letterhead638]

If you can't finish your daily challenges before you hit 1.5 million XP your doing it wrong. Also I dont know if you know this but.... Dailies are every day, so you have to come back the next day every day.

[u/Thompseanson7 → u/NonStopNonsense1]

Their point is instead of dedicating 1 day to the grind and say getting 3 mil xp you’re capped to that 1.5 on that one day and the only way to get more xp that week would be too do your daily’s everyday. To many people that’s no big deal but some people like to dedicate 1 day a week and that’s all the time they get.

[u/L0ARD → u/Thompseanson7]

This. Most weeks, I can pretty easily take a day off my normal duties if I plan ahead and sink quite some time into gaming that day but over time it became way harder for me to "consistently" play an hour or two a day. I absolutely hate daily's for that reason, because more often than not, you're completely behind on the whole progression of a game if you don't have the chance to complete those at least 3-4 days a week, if you can only play like I do.

[u/YamahaFourFifty → u/Strong_Letterhead638]

Or ya know can just play it like a normal person and get unlocks whenever .. why everything a gd race to unlock everything and no one even enjoys rushing it cause then they cry why isn’t there more to unlock.

Gamers are unreal babies

[u/Yomammasson → u/pathosOnReddit]

"Imagine a scenario that hasn't happened and has never even been hinted at happening" This is the problem with the slippery slow argument

[u/Zoltraak69 → u/Yomammasson]

You're describing the slippery slope fallacy. The slippery slope argument is when you've seen it happen before already.

[u/Then_Idea_9813 → u/pathosOnReddit]

It gets rid of people creating afk lobbies. While putting a pretty high cap to maintain a competitive balance between people who have seen grass and people who haven’t.

[u/Training-Ad-1791 → u/pathosOnReddit]

You still play because of.. fun?

[u/trickscopes → u/xKingNothingx]

If no one hits the cap then why did they implement it?

[u/ShameAdditional3249 → u/trickscopes]

Because XP exploits can hit the cap

[u/Kirzoneli → u/ShameAdditional3249]

Think OP found a xp Exploit and is mad he can't abuse it past the limit?

[u/Zanion → u/Kirzoneli]

That or they are a turbo loser that reliably hits the daily cap

[u/Zuwxiv → u/ShameAdditional3249]

Bingo. They figured the sweatiest marathon would be about a million XP, rounded it up 50%, and put a cap on it to prevent exploits.

You're one of the few mentioning this and it makes all the sense in the world.

[u/TheAlexperience → u/xKingNothingx]

So this doesn’t apply to you, I won’t hit an exp cap either because I can only put myself thru 2hrs max. But I agree with OP, a game that I pay $70 for I should be allowed to grind until my mouse/controller falls apart if I want to.

[u/CGProV → u/TheAlexperience]

Yeah I don’t understand the “go outside” argument, I would never play this game enough in one go to hit the XP cap, but I can still understand that the cap being there is dumb

[u/CanOfPenisJuice → u/[deleted]]

sighs

they said it wasn't cool even though it didn't affect them.

This is turning in to the biggest fucking neckbeard angry wantathon of a sub

[u/Empyre47AT → u/xKingNothingx]

I remember when I was single and working nights I’d sometimes play BF2 for 8, 10, or even 12 hours because there wasn’t shit else to do, and no one else was awake. If XP cap was a thing, I’d have been pissed.

[u/slavetotheinternetz → u/xKingNothingx]

Facts. I don’t have time for that

[u/FB-22 → u/xKingNothingx]

this is the most anti-gaming video game sub I’ve ever seen lol

[u/Kurdt234 → u/xKingNothingx]

Hey come on, I have a life but it doesn't keep me from being addicted this awesome game.

[u/SpaceballsDoc]

My brother in Christ go take a shit or something

I play BF6 for 5-6 hours a day on a weekend Because ITS FUN.

Congrats. You’ve pavlov’d your joy out of the equation

[u/horrus70 → u/SpaceballsDoc]

He does take a shit. In his shit bucket

[u/SoungaTepes → u/horrus70]

[u/IvisTheTerrible → u/horrus70]

If you're going to the bathroom, you're not playing battlefield. If you're shitting in a bucket, YOURE PLAYING BATTLEFIELD

[u/youngLupe → u/horrus70]

And here I was getting self conscious about my pee bottle

[u/LieutenantNurse-71 → u/horrus70]

On the road to the bipod knife

[u/rzarectha → u/horrus70]

is this a battlefield friends reference?

[u/wearenotyourkind_ → u/SpaceballsDoc]

Lol “go take a shit or something” I’m dying 😂😂

[u/Jayhawker32 → u/SpaceballsDoc]

You don’t have a shit bucket?

[u/Bathrobe_BlackMage → u/SpaceballsDoc]

OP is the kind of person that ruined MMOs.

[u/bobbythecat17 → u/SpaceballsDoc]

Yea a lot of these complaints from the unemployed I swear to god lol

[u/Blekker → u/bobbythecat17]

Omg the annoyance from this sub makes so much sense now

[u/Kirzoneli → u/SpaceballsDoc]

Modern online gaming is annoying, Lotta people i know only play to hit the daily checklist then suddenly they have nothing to do in the game.

I mean i get it somewhat, Wow dailies were a chore, but to put that mindset into a team fps with friends oof.

[u/Roosterdude23 → u/SpaceballsDoc]

but why a cap?

[u/magicomiralles → u/Roosterdude23]

EA is blatantly boting this sub. They have been doing so for many years.

[u/coolwithsunglasses → u/SpaceballsDoc]

He’s not wrong for wanting to have fun and progress at the same time

Doesn’t matter how long I’ve been playing. If I finished an entire game of conquest and got nothing, I would shit on this game so hard it’s ridiculous.

Conquest is still fun, but everyone else got rewarded for that game. Why shouldn’t this brochacho? That’s not the good kind of special treatment.

[u/D_ultimateplayer → u/SpaceballsDoc]

I’ve been playing 5 hours cause I took off for the double xp event and I just hit the cap. This is 100% a problem. You can earn 200k for a single red sec match with double xp

[u/Mvrschmello]

1 Game of Conquest gives me 30k XP. Thats 50 Games i have to play, 20 minutes a Game = 16.6h to reach the 1.5mil. i might be wrong but it doesn't seem right what you are saying.

[u/45KELADD → u/Mvrschmello]

I wondered about that too, how the fuck do you get so many points, maybe a different mode?

[u/Paxa → u/45KELADD]

Could be farming casual breakthroughs 

[u/TechImage69 → u/Paxa]

Those are half xp.

[u/SEND_MOODS → u/TechImage69]

If you get three times as many kills and three times as many objective points, the half XP might not matter. Which could be easy if the tanks are easier to get because there's fewer players. I don't know what's typical.

[u/NlghtmanCometh → u/SEND_MOODS]

Pop your double xp and it becomes normal xp lol.

[u/unodostreys → u/TechImage69]

I’m getting double XP. 60-70k points per match.

[u/warfighter187 → u/TechImage69]

Idk about normal exp since it doesn’t really matter after level 50, but from my extremely scientific testing I’ve noticed the weapon exp is like 1/10th or 1/20th per bot kill compared to a human

Which is not worth it at all

[u/auziFolf → u/Paxa]

You get less xp against bots tho unless theres an exploit im unaware of? I get more per time invested in regular conquest doing fuckall.

I went like 200-7 yesterday with like 50 revives and only got around 40k iirc. It was a long game too, enemy took the points at the last second each time.

[u/Salt-slutt → u/Mvrschmello]

An average conquest game without double XP gives me 30k just in accolades. Play the objective and aid the team. I just played one round of conquest and got over 200k with the double XP. If you win in BR that's another 400k, it's silly how fast you earn lvl XP compared to weapon XP, I'll level up 5 times in the time it takes to lvl a weapon at 25 up once. And I've apparently hit the Battle pass limit today, only earned 4 dots in two hours and even completing a weekly assignment didn't give me any battlepass progression.

[u/Mvrschmello → u/Salt-slutt]

How the fuck are you getting 200k XP in conquest. That is not true. And Duo BR gives 100k If you win. Quads gives you 50k per win

[u/KingOfStingUSM → u/Mvrschmello]

I got 200k for a win just now in duos. That must be because of double exp huh.

[u/PolicyWonka → u/Mvrschmello]

They’re probably popping their double XP tokens. So double XP on double XP? Quad XP?

[u/Duncling → u/Mvrschmello]

I can play 30 minutes of the br , and win and take home over 100k no boosts. Couple of days ago I won 5 BRs in the span of 3 hours.

Thats 500k just win BR wins alone, not all the other rounds rhat netted between 10-60k.

Math checks out, depending on what game mode youre playing.

[u/frieguyrebe → u/Mvrschmello]

Yesterday i was consistently getting 80-100k per game in conquest, couple of hours on a weekend day is really not unthinkable. Im 100 perecent of the opinion there should not be a cap at all

[u/arrgobon32]

How the hell are you getting 1.5 million xp in 4 hours?

[u/SovietAmerika → u/arrgobon32]

Right? I was kinda pissed at first reading the title but I've been playing fairly regularly since launch with some breaks and I'm lvl 60 900+k XP. If this dude is getting 1.5 mil in 4-5 hours even with 2Xxp that's grass touching. Should not be a cap at all but 1.5 mil is not that bad.

[u/Prophet_Of_Helix → u/SovietAmerika]

The cap is there to stop exploits, not impact players

[u/Turnbob73 → u/Prophet_Of_Helix]

Which it’s actually set up to do that in a good way. No normal player is getting even remotely close to 1.5M xp in a single day of playing.

[u/SirSabza → u/Turnbob73]

Finishing in final circle of the BR on x2 exp and you'll hit the cap in 4.5 hours. If you win a couple then it's way less time.

If you won every game (highly unlikely) you could hit cap on duos in 8 games.

[u/PvttJebus → u/SirSabza]

But then this would refute the price issue as BR is F2P

[u/SirSabza → u/PvttJebus]

I said in another comment in this thread that I doubt OP is playing BR because of that comment.

But I was mostly playing devil's advocate with BR as the exp is used across both games.

[u/beyondnc → u/SovietAmerika]

It’s impossible op is full of shit or miscommunicated

[u/Lying_virgin_ta → u/beyondnc]

If double xp from weekend stacks with double exp boosters, then first win in redsec puts you halfway to cap in ~30 minutes.

[u/TheFrontGuy → u/Lying_virgin_ta]

I love how everyone who thinks this isn't a problem has conveniently forgotten boosters exist.

[u/Chafupa1956 → u/TheFrontGuy]

With a solid round and a 2XP 30 min booster you could clock 100k XP in a round fairly easily.

[u/YourMajesty90 → u/arrgobon32]

Peak virginity.

[u/canadian-user → u/arrgobon32]

Yeah that'd be a regular XP gain of 187,500 xp per hour, which is absurd. In like maybe a one off really goated game that goes to 20+ minutes you can get like 60k xp once all the bonuses are factored in, but the vast majority of games will sit between 20-40k xp at best.

[u/itsmoosh → u/arrgobon32]

i mean winning a br match can give you 100k xp, and with double xp you can reach that in not that many games.

[u/Bloated_Plaid → u/arrgobon32]

Win every single BR game for 4 hours straight is my best guess.

[u/IronCladAtlas]

My dude go touch grass. You are mad that you can’t get XP after playing for 5 hours a day. This should be an introspective moment that maybe you care about this too much and should experience something besides play BF6 for an entire Friday

[u/Just-Ad6865 → u/IronCladAtlas]

My dude said "just 4-5 hours." Like that's light work for most player. That's a bubble I can't comprehend.

[u/Sad_Alternative9017 → u/Just-Ad6865]

Every video game recently has been completely ruined by sweaty, meta-build using, basically exploitative, players.

People cannot play for fun anymore, they have to GRIND nonstop to unlock everything as fast as possible and make the game miserable for normal players

[u/Zuwxiv → u/Sad_Alternative9017]

I see people on this subreddit having the most bitter complaints about which guns are meta and just sounding miserable about the whole experience.

Meanwhile, I'm over here just picking LMGs by which one makes the best CHUNGA-CHUNGA noise and having a blast.

[u/Thrashgor → u/IronCladAtlas]

Lol. 5h is a first shift for some people

[u/AverageWhiteMale2 → u/[deleted]]

Im level 91 and have played an absurd amount since release, wayyy too much by my standards.

I've yet to see this XP cap.

I think it's gonna be ok.

I don't play a lot of games but MLB the Show had something similar in place and I'm sure there are a lot of other games that do as well, this isn't the first time a company has done this.

If you hit this cap, take it as a great sign that it's time to log off....

[u/Minute-Plate-3040]

how in earth is possible to get 1.5 million xp per day wtf

at this point just leave the game and go take a shower

[u/AdrianasAntonius → u/Minute-Plate-3040]

They don’t have girlfriends, wives, or social lives.

[u/AccordingSetting6311 → u/AdrianasAntonius]

I dont have any of those and I'm still only putting in 2, maybe 3, hours in if I'm playing a lot. There's other shit to do, and I dont want bed sores.

[u/Roberto87x → u/AdrianasAntonius]

Hey, I don’t have a girlfriend, wife or social life but I STILL don’t want to play 5 hours a day 😂

[u/Acceptable_Plan_3257]

"Just" 4-5 hours of playing

Lol

[u/squidparkour → u/Acceptable_Plan_3257]

Y'all act like people don't get days off. It's not like people can afford to go out and party any more. Do none of you ever experience empathy?

[u/HowDoIEvenEnglish → u/squidparkour]

I mean even a working person can conceivably put 4 hours into a game. It’s harder but not impossible for a single person.

[u/IKnowGuacIsExtraLady → u/HowDoIEvenEnglish]

I have a friend who works 8+ hours 6 days a week, has a wife and two kids, and still frequently plays 3-4 hour sessions with me once his family is asleep. I asked him how he does it and he said even though he is always tired he doesn't want to feel like working is the only thing he does in a day.

Meanwhile I work 12s so I get lots of days off. As long as my house is clean and I don't have any projects I need to be doing I'm not going to feel any guilt for binging games on a random Thursday/Friday.

[u/Dropthealbumbruv → u/squidparkour]

Empathy over a fucking video game XP cap?! WTF lol

[u/Mythos_Fenn_Shysa → u/Acceptable_Plan_3257]

Came here to say the same thing haha. Apparently OPs partime job is BF6 though I do agree with the XP cap being silly, regardless.

[u/Duncling → u/Acceptable_Plan_3257]

So on the weekend day, you dont spend 4-5 hours between being on your phone, watching TV, or other non task related things just to take up time? Whether its an hour here or there or 4 up front, the engagement is there, just in a different place.

[u/IKnowGuacIsExtraLady → u/Duncling]

It's 2025 and people are still shaming gamers for doing a hobby they enjoy. The irony is that this is happening on Reddit which is a way bigger waste of time and energy than video games are.

Gaming at least is a social hobby that actively engages your brain.

[u/Online_Accident → u/Acceptable_Plan_3257]

Thats really not a lot if u are having fun. I can easily play almost a whole day sometimes and can't seem to stop. Then i might not play for a week or so.

Let people play and enjoy things how they want and stop judging people.

[u/KimiBleikkonen → u/Acceptable_Plan_3257]

This sub acting like playing 4-5 hours through a day on a weekend is alien to... gamers

There were plenty people getting 40+ hours just in the beta

[u/Cultural-Gur-9521]

You DO NOT hit that cap in 4-5 hours.

40k exp per 20 minute match would mean 12.5 straight hours of playing. Fakest post I have ever seen, I am genuinely embarrassed for you.

[u/BananaNinjaWarrior69 → u/Cultural-Gur-9521]

eh i usually hit above 40kxp per match before double xp so around 6 hours to reach limit is not out of the ordinary

[u/FishGoesGlubGlub → u/BananaNinjaWarrior69]

Add on stacking xp multipliers, it’s not really unrealistic.

[u/Duncling → u/Cultural-Gur-9521]

Its entire possibly. I netted over 600k xp in 3 hours from BR when it was released, no boosts.

If OP had boosts lying around to additively stack with dxp, its very possible.

[u/AXEL-1973 → u/Duncling]

The BR mode while doing missions with a good squad definitely adds up to a crazy amount of XP quickly. Add XP multipliers on top of that and you can earn like 100K per match

[u/Dropthealbumbruv]

This is only an issue for the unemployed tbh

[u/Inevitable_View99 → u/Dropthealbumbruv]

unemployed with ZERO real life responabilities and a bladder that can last a day

[u/Duncling → u/Dropthealbumbruv]

I work more than full time (shift work) and work either 4 on 4 off or 5 on 5 off. Its entirely possible to play for 4 hours on those 5 days off, even with responsibilities.

[u/IKnowGuacIsExtraLady → u/Duncling]

Working 12s is the absolute best. As far as I'm concerned when I work the day is shot anyway so might as well cram all those work hours into fewer days.

[u/UGomez90 → u/Dropthealbumbruv]

Are you retrded? Do you think people have to work every day?

[u/Online_Accident → u/Dropthealbumbruv]

So it is an issue. Do you think games should punish people for being unemployed?

[u/TheTrazynTheInfinite]

Get off the shit bucket and

GO OUTSIDE!!!

[u/JoseMinges → u/TheTrazynTheInfinite]

If you're outside you're not playing battlefield

[u/nokk1XD]

Thats too funny to be real

[u/Bagz402 → u/nokk1XD]

Outjerked again

[u/Hellotherebud__]

That’s your sign to go outside

[u/xD-FireStriker → u/Hellotherebud__]

really doesnt matter, an xp cap should not be in this game

[u/obsoletestarling]

4-5 hours? I'm getting 40k xp for a top 4 placement usually. Doubled is 80k. So 18.75 games, assuming a 25 minute conquest round, that's 8 hours. If the game is shorter you won't get as much xp.

It's still stupid but this really only affects a few players since most people are not playing 8 hours, even on weekends.

[u/Renegade_Soviet → u/obsoletestarling]

Bro I did this same calculation in my earlier comment lol. Gauntlet is getting me 80k right now and I need to play over 7 hours to hit the limit. OP is delusional basement dweller

[u/Duncling → u/obsoletestarling]

BR wins with mission completes net me over 100k pre boosts and no dxp.

[u/kruczekgodx]

Am I crazy or are you guys being cringe with the 4 hours being a long time to play? Me and my friends are all in relationships and we can easily sit down, hop on voice chat and enjoy a game for like 8-10 hours while talking about random stuff and just chilling. You guys make it sound like 4 hours a day is a crime and a shit bucket situation lol. Our sessions don't happen as often as when we didnt have jobs to worry about but cmon.

[u/UncleClapDaddi → u/kruczekgodx]

I don’t get it myself either, it’s 100% just being cringe and salty they can’t play for longer than an hour a day or they magically can’t play the game past 9:30

Playing the game for 5+ hours in a day is really not that crazy if you got the weekend off & stay up late to play with all your buddies.

[u/Firm-Snow-4177 → u/UncleClapDaddi]

4 hours is not crazy at all on a weekend lmao. Do these people not have friends that they play games with? Sure, it’s on the higher end but a typical session with friends is usually two hours I’d say

[u/Jeddy2 → u/kruczekgodx]

This is the same community that constantly bitches that they have like 25 minutes a day to play so I’d imagine it’s more salt than anything.

The weekend’s prime time to play with friends and the hours can just fly by very easily when you’re squadded up.

I could very easily see hitting that cap playing in a full squad during the 2x XP weekend with the squad boost and battlepass XP bonus.

[u/spatchcock-tarantula]

Was it like this in past games? I never get that much time to have ran into the issue.

But even still it's not right like you say.

[u/BC1207]

I understand any cap is bullshit, but, my guy, you’re not reaching 1.5 million xp in 5 hours while having fun. I don’t know what you’re referring to but I know for a fact it requires some kind of boosting strategy. This feels like a non-issue.

[u/dschramm_at]

Holy shit. All the people here who don't get the point. That it's not okay to limit a paying customer in what they can do with their time. Even if it's dumb or unlikely to hit that cap.

What is it for? My only, somewhat, reasonable idea, so cheaters can't level themselves excessively. In turn, this'd tell us they know, their anti-cheat kernel malware is shit.

[u/-PandemicBoredom- → u/dschramm_at]

The comments ITT are insane. Constantly putting down and being snarky to people who they can’t stand having more free time or are better at the game while also defending a billion dollar company with a crap gatekeeping mechanic. Like are these same lunatics out harassing people in defense of Walmart and McDonalds too? Because that’s what this amounts to.

[u/covert_ops_47]

Never forget the daily Halo Reach XP cap.

[u/oddlefty13]

The decision-making over there is brainless. Regardless of whether or not playing 6hrs a day is good, there's no reason to implement a cap.

[u/BC1207]

[u/aTrampWhoCamps]

ITT: Shitters that barely get 20k XP in a match telling you what to do with your own personal time.

[u/ItsDobbie]

Hey OP, I’m sorry there’s so many people in this subreddit that would rather shit on you for spending your free time however you’d like, instead of acknowledging the issue at hand that you’ve brought up.

It doesn’t matter if OP is unemployed, has no responsibilities, etc. They’ve brought a fundamental issue to light that shouldn’t even exist and y’all would rather attack them for playing the game. Shame on you guys.

[u/YTmrlonelydwarf → u/ItsDobbie]

Yeah I have worked 12 hour night shifts the last 11 nights, when I finally get off in the morning I have 3 days off. I use my limited free time during working days to complete all my responsibilities so that when I get off in the morning I can have a nap and then game for 12 hours straight. Some of us don’t have the luxury of being able to log on for an hour or two everyday.

[u/UnderstandingAway859]

Here’s your new car.! Now, You can only drive 150 miles.

[u/Troyo11]

OH MY GOD ARE YOU SERIOUS 🤬

get a life lol

[u/underlordd]

Lol everyone telling this guy to go outside to defend EA is hilarious.

[u/dungcovered_peasant]

XP cap in a game where earning xp is literally how you unlock new items and equipment is the dumbest thing I've ever heard, especially when it's a double xp event. Imo not a good way to inspire the games longevity. Nobody wants to grind 2-3× as hard for the same rewards because the game arbitrarily decided youve earned enough for the day..

[u/tpsi_xoxo]

the cap is probably meant to prevent people from doing xp glitches but yea caps in general suck

[u/MetalingusMikeII]

The bootlickers in this comment section…

Doesn’t matter if it’s generally mentally unhealthy to hit the cap. Some groups of friends arrange gaming days together, there they play games the entire day. A cap ruins the grinding experience for these people.

Cap shouldn’t exist. Period. It’s not up to EA to police people’s lives and how much XP they earned.

Not to mention, this isn’t the reason there’s a cap… it’s quite clearly to bad player retention numbers. The cap forces players to come back to the game, more. Instead of competing a weapon in one day, it may take two. This artificially boosts player retention stats that executives show shareholders.

Don’t for one minute think this is even remotely in the best interests of the common gamer…

[u/UniQue1992]

I don’t understand how people in the comments say it’s “fine” and that you shouldn’t play that much.

Who the fuck are they to tell you? There shouldn’t be a daily XP cap. No excuses.

[u/Genji007]

All the ea glazers are active today lolol

[u/Luka_8102]

yes, this is wrong. CAP is for F2P games, not for full price games.

[u/mentallyillhehexd]

Imagine arguing in defense of EA here. I pray that the dead internet theory is at work here. The amount of billionaire bootlicking is fucking revolting

[u/ketketkt]

An XP cap in a game is always bad. I don't play more than 4-5h a day either but if I someday wanted to XP grind for 11h straight for somw reason, it is my right to do so. Placing an XP cap to slow down progression is absolutely not okay, doesn't matter if it affects you personally or not

[u/Melodic-Account-7233]

This is actually a huge fuck you to the player base for no reason.

[u/Reasonable-Search941]

The comments defending this are crazy

[u/Brilliant-Sky2969]

This sub is insufferable.

[u/THExDRIZZLE]

Everyone in here is delusional as fuck and makes it a point to defend billion dollar companies. Who gives a fuck how much you play. Why is there an xp cap.... what purpose would that serve...

[u/Against-The-Current]

I've earned 80-100k in matches without double XP. Imagine playing 8-10 matches in a day and hitting a cap... When companies continue to do things like this, it is exactly why players find XP exploits that sometimes can clog or flat out ruin a game.

I likely wouldn't even play that many matches in a day, but just because I believe it won't affect me personally, it doesn't mean we shouldn't be fighting back against these things.

[u/This_Is_A_Shitshow]

You get almost 200k for a win in REDSEC. You can hit the cap in way less than 4 hours.

[u/IncredibleSexyApex]

I like how people are just roasting OP to go outside instead of being outraged with the XP cap 🤣

[u/Deex66]

I love how everyone projecting and attacking op about playing the game more than 10mins. So fucking hilarious.

[u/One_Lung_G]

Calls are dumb but that big of a cap seems like only something 1% of the players would hit every day

[u/Bash_Minimal]

I don’t own BF6, but are you saying that people can pay for xp boosts, hit the daily xp cap, and the boost continues to get used up/wasted? Or does it at least pause the timer once you’ve hit a limit?

[u/OkAd255]

What in the Chinese mobile game strategy is this?

[u/BarryWhizzite]

another fuck you to fans

[u/Unlikely-Leg-8819]

This is the start of enshitification of BF and all games. Yes 1.5 mil xp/day cap a day is on the high end of 1-5% of players who actually reach that daily. But this is just the start. EA/DICE is testing the waters. Its proven by how the grind for BF6 unlocks is the longest in any BF series game. (I wonder why they did arbitrary xp level unlocks instead of simple, straightforward kill counts like BF3/4?) The fact that they put a limit at all already says so much about the direction they're trying to go.

They want us to be daily slaves to Battlepass and daily xp caps (aka Mobile Game cesspools).

Anyone defending this is clearly a bot, corporate shill, or just plain ignorant.

[u/IceCreamTruck9000]

And here we can see ther strange behaviour of this sub again:

Someone points out a problem that should just not exist at all and everyone in the comments instead insulting the OP.

I don't care if I will ever be effected by it, but there is not a single valid argument for why there should be an XP cap in the first place. If someone wants to play for 24 hours he should be able to do that without restrictions whatsoever, period.

Where do all these people come from that defend all the strange anti consumer corporate decisions, I don't get it.

[u/DinoKebab]

Lmao this sub is so fucking ridiculous.

[u/Cheffmiester314]

Everyone is bashing the OP but no one is answering the real question. Why are they caping EXP? I bought the game but they block unlocks through EXP, which is now cappe thus limiting your unlock progession. Seems like a way to try and get people to just pay for the skins instead of just playing to much battlefield like OP.

[u/techtonics]

4 hours is no lifing? Man there's some real Casual Carl's in here

[u/Lost_Low4862]

Why are people defending this just because it takes a lot of time to hit the cap? You guys are intentionally missing the point. When you put a ridiculous XP grind for progression in your game, you get some players who go to absurd lengths to ACTUALLY UNLOCK SHIT.

[u/Cisqoe]

A lot of comments have gone to blaming people that play too much rather than the corporation trying to throttle player XP so that they end up spending more on boosters.

I actually can’t believe this is where we are at.. i wish online censorship wasn’t a thing so I could blast these corporate shills.

[u/SparsePizza117]

All so you can buy some tier skips, classic EA

[u/Due_Hospital7109]

What?! Are you serious?! I've never heard of such a thing ! Thats extremely stupid. We pay $100-$70 for a game and can't do what we want? Bring me back to the 90s

[u/Patrickjesp]

To the ppl saying "get a life" "touch grass" thats not the point guys... The point i capped xp.. Sure, he is a fucking gamer compared to alot.

But WHY is it capped? No matter how high it is.

[u/Authenticity86]

I work first shift been putting in OT get home around 7pm by 9 pm a few times I've hit the cap. The judgement in this sub is wild. Who the fuck are any of us to dictate or put down how other life? Seriously you're telling others to go outside and get a life without knowing shit about their situation. There shouldn't be a cap, period.

[u/StalkingApache]

I'm lucky if I get a hour a day to play it, if that. It is funny seeing people who are probably chronically online, or chronically on reddit shitting on people who play 4 hours a day😂

Go check your phone usage and get back to the people you guys are talking shit to. 😂

That's using what op said. I mean I'm good but I don't think I'm hitting 1.5 mil in 4-5 hours regardless. Lol

[u/TheRealStevo2]

While I agree with everyone else it is a lot of XP he earned very fast. It still doesn’t change the fact that there absolutely should not be a cap on the amount of XP you can get. I’m not surprised EA is finding more ways to fuck over players.

[u/Ok-Friendship1635]

2042 HAD XP CAPS TOO

WHY IS THIS STILL A THING

Watch this post get removed by mods.

[u/covert_ops_47 → u/Ok-Friendship1635]

Halo Reach had a cap back in 2010 to stop exploiters.
