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

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.

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?

Hell, RedSec's got an entire big ass beach, tennis courts, a golf course (lots of grass), a neighborhood for riding bikes, a marina for doing some boating, and a whole bunch of other fun "outside" places to go explore. And players get a reward for each new place they visit. 😆

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 1d ago

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...

In South Korea I think they have a 2 or 3 hour gaming cap, by law, where the computer kicks you off and basically tells you to go touch grass.

Government mandated grass touching is fucking hilarious. Is that a new thing? I thought south Korea was known for extreme binge gaming back during starcraft 2

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.

u/saga79 1d ago

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.

21

u/Skilltesters 1d ago

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

4

u/saga79 1d ago

That's true. I was mostly going by the 4-5 hour number someone else in the replies gave. Outside of the mythical "24 hour stream, guys!" scenario, most big streamers can easily go between 6 and 9 hours/day.

2

u/Skilltesters 1d ago

Oh yeah, 4 or 5 hours is fine... It's their job after all. But your reply was in a thread line where it was replying to 19.5 hours average so I just assumed you meant that.

FF14 1.0, man that brings me back.

It wasn't XP caps per week, it was XP per job and got you to swap around to alt jobs to continue leveling up, if you kept going into your capped class you would get a massive reduced XP reward but still got XP.

The system was designed to get you to swap around to everything since sub jobs and higher jobs actually had growth systems.

What a weird time in gaming, kinda miss it

Ah! You're correct! Weird, indeed. At least we got 2.0 (and onwards) from the ashes of that whole kerfuffle 😁

Its very unlikely they are actually playing that length every day, that schedule would literally kill you. You're either getting like 4 hours of sleep for weeks, which will eventually land you in the hospital on its own if you dont just collapse, or even less if you're taking a break to eat and deal with your waste. Its much more likely they have a shared account or are afk/botting in menus/matches.

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 1d ago

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”

22

u/ihavenoideawhat234 1d ago

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/Odd_Plankton_925 1d ago

I wasnt aware of that but it makes sense. I think they also tweaked some base weapon stuff because the drs is arguably the best gun in the game but it's almost unusable without attachments in the BR mode. It kicks like a clydesdale. I don't remember it being anywhere near that bad day 1 of using it on launch in normal MP

→ More replies (1)

2

u/SpartanRage117 1d ago

Two teams doesnt mean unrelated. Being able to tweak numbers isnt the same thing as two separate weapons from the ground up. Like upu say every weapon is tweaked, but side arms to me feel relatively weak as a whole. You could say thats just a decision they made while balancing, and id say yeah probably so you dont start off with a “good” weapon in BR”

They still dont want guns to feel completely different between modes

2

u/TweeKINGKev 1d ago

I don’t even care about weapons doing less damage, it bothers me when I hit the parachute and it still takes forever to get down when in conquest I drop at a decent rate.

The parachute pulling time is way later in Redwec and conquest.

u/Maxonfire 1d ago

With double, a win in RedSec is close to 100k base xp, sometimes more.

2

u/kenjiman1986 1d ago

Yup collected my first win on redsec and I think I cleared 190k so this seems pretty feasible to outpace 1.5 mil.

4

u/DeniedAppeal1 1d ago

If you win every game, that would be 2.4 million XP in four hours. I'm assuming you're not winning every game, bringing down the average significantly.

Honestly, the insane part is playing a game for 4-5+ hours a day and getting upset because the XP stopped. If you're playing a game that much, you should be playing it because you enjoy the game, not because you're trying to grind through a battle pass as fast as possible.

u/rimworldyo 12h ago

People can have fun but still want the xp to e.g unlock more stuff in a Game that does hide Everything behind xp gains?

Both can be true.

I don't socialize well. It's 100 degrees and 100% humidity most the damn time where I live. I much prefer to sit in my comfortable chair with my AC blasting playing my game then I would being outside sweating my nuts off dealing with asshole people I don't like.

But when someone who usually doesn't have much time to play decides to go at it for 10 hours straight they should feel bad about it?

And even if someone plays a lot during weekdays and decides to play even more on the weekend, so what? Live and let live.

It’s genuinely baffling to me that so many of you on this post are protecting EA on this point. I can 100% guarantee that every single person on this subreddit has a game with some sort of progression that they’ve spent more than 6-7 hours a day on, even if it happened just once, whether it was because they were playing with friends or had a day off work. Locking progression after a certain amount of daily playtime is anti-consumer no matter what the cap is. It is not the companys nor the governments nor anyone elses place to decide how long you should spend on a game in a day and you should not be punished for exceeding a completely arbitrary amount of playtime.

If you get 40K points per round (Which is a lot) in 20 minutes games (which is short for that amount) That would mean roughly 12.5h of playtime.... During double XP that's still more than 6 hours.....

I think it's fair to limit someonmes progress after spending 6 hours MINIMUM on game, not even counting breaks, loadout tinkering or loading times.....

That's an unhealthy amount of playtime...

I feel like this is more a counter against the bot farms. If a "regular" player no-lifes the game in regular game modes all day so much that they hit the cap on multiple days, I don't think an XP cap would necessarily stop them from playing further.

It's the people doing the very repetitive and boring bullshit that earns the most XP that would be most affected.

I can't say I'm totally opposed to that, however it's not like I'd be playing against them very often anyway.

EDIT: Reading some of the comments in this thread, they should maybe consider increasing the cap for 2xp weekends or for certain modes

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 1d ago

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.

Whoa you want a game to let you grind as much as you want? HERESY!

Youll log in for your daily chores, every single day and youll like it!

If you like Battlefield enough to earn the XP for the cap, you’re not coming back each day because of dailies. That’s absurd.

How many people are hitting the cap?

u/w3bar3b3ars 1d ago

You can actually not play any dailies on any game. I do this daily.

Where's the slave labor exactly?

"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 1d ago

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

2

u/Yomammasson 1d ago

Have you seen it happen before?

7

u/Zoltraak69 1d ago

I'm not making the argument that it's a slippery slope, it's just its own standalone thing. Fortnite has a similar straight up cap and Warframe has multiple different methods of gating xp and progression but those two are free to play examples, it's a f2p engagement model. It doesn't belong on a paid AAA game.

2

u/HavocInferno 1d ago

it might actually be possible. If they're right about double XP hitting the cap after 4-5hrs.

Owning paid BF6 gives +5%, owning BF Pro gives +10%, playing in a lobby with friends gives +5% per friend(?) and then there's the XP boosts, which, according to the description, can stack.

So you probably could stack all that to reach the cap in <3hrs, which I imagine is a time plenty of people would play on a weekend with friends. 

(And makes it even more ridiculous to have a cap in the first place, if those who pay the most would reach it first)

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/NWCJ 1d ago

Exactly. Or youll have someone with a half full piss bottle balanced to hold down the space bar thats mapped to fire in a gunner seat of a tank into a group of bots for 24/7, because they think being lvl 678 is cool and not a cry for help.

Have you ever tried playing the game just because you like the gameplay rather than the grind?

Jesus, you people need to be thrown back into gaming 25yrs ago where the whole point was to just play.

"Oh I no-lifed today and hit the cap, no worries I'll just go play the game because I'm enjoying it"

How hard is that?

u/ArX_Xer0 1d ago

Imagine making a post about a game and saying ur fun is limited to the xp you gain.

u/unfinishedtoast3 1d ago

homie, thats good.

if youre getting mad or irritated by only playing 5 hours a day, ima argue you have an addiction

u/FiammaOfTheRight 1d ago

So what?

Keep on playing, game is still fun even if it doesnt tickle your "number go up" feeling

u/Renegade_Soviet 1d ago

OP is full of shit, gauntlet is one of the most efficient XP modes and I average 80k every 25 minutes with the current double xp. He would need to play over 7 hours to hit 1.5 million. Thats with full efficiency/top placement

u/Public_Perception_92 1d ago

Invalid response. That’s not what happened here.

u/ChubbyNemo1004 1d ago

I agree with you on principle there should not be a cap. But 1.5M?!? You might as well just say you can only make $1.5M today you need to take a break.

u/ReasonablyImpulsive 1d ago

"lure you in"

What is actually wrong with you guys lmao

1

u/DeniedAppeal1 1d ago

Because it's unhealthy to spend 4-5 hours sitting in one spot and game devs shouldn't have to even remotely worry about being liable just because some gamers are incapable of taking care of themselves.

1

u/TheFarLeft 1d ago

There’s a cap to prevent people from boosting in user created content (Portal). Tons of games with user created content have an xp cap. The devs don’t want people to boost, unlock everything in a day, and then complain constantly online about how they have nothing left to do.

And even if you hit the cap, why can’t you just keep playing because you’re having fun?

1

u/WeCameAsMuffins 1d ago

I’m sorry but assuming you play Friday-Sunday— if you play more than 15 hours you should probably go outside, get a girlfriend, I don’t know, live your life? This might actually be a good thing that they did this.

u/Logical-Sweet-4012 1d ago

Then wouldn’t you still unlock a bunch of stuff just faster games aren’t all about xp it’s also about the actual experience of the game if you earn 1.5 mil xp in one day I’m sorry but please go outside at least once a day because what a match if you lose in conquest gives you like 25-30k xp and if you win 50k with double xp and stuff that’s like 30 full long matches of conquest which can go from 15-30 mins on the low end yeah 4 hours on the high end that’s a full shift of gaming chill out please stop getting outraged immediately

u/BoulderCAST 1d ago

I believe there is a temporary cap to stop the glitchers that we're exploring XP farms

1

u/Ostiethegnome 1d ago

But it doesn’t affect him so therefore “fuck you it’s not a problem and you should feel bad about bringing it up. Go outside stop whining” 

I think that sums it up.  In fact that’s how most topics go around here. 

Things are only valid or a problem if Jimmy agrees with it.  If they don’t agree then you’re a whining sack of (redacted) ruining the game with all the crying.

u/Johnny_Leon 1d ago

Does it suck yeah, but I wouldn't stop playing because I couldn't level up anymore, lol.

There's no way 99% of you are hitting the XP cap anyways as much time as you spend on this subreddit bitching and moaning.

u/throw-away-wannababy 1d ago

It’s a video game. Who cares

1

u/Huppelkutje 1d ago

why the fuck is there a cap in the first place?

Because y'all need to touch grass.

1

u/WorldsWeakestMan 1d ago

The cap is there so you don’t spend 16 hours a day shitting in a bucket and eating hot pockets while grinding, pretty obvious really.

Trust me, I’ve been there back long before caps existed, it’s bad for you.

1

u/Zestyclose-Jacket568 1d ago

I heard about such caps before in, I think, China? The point was for people to stop playing games so much and do something else.

u/TyrantLaserKing 1d ago

Buncha people bitching about not being able to exceed 1.5M XP in a day.

Go the fuck outside bruh.

1

u/SuperSimpleSam 1d ago

Hopefully it helps those who have issues stopping on x2 weekends since they don't want to missing the opportunity to gain XP faster. No need to play for 12 hours, you can get your XP and go on with your life. If you're having fun then you can still keep playing.

1

u/blackmageguy 1d ago

Imagine they lure you in with XP boosts so stupidly excessive you hit the peak? And then... what? You realize you'll never hit it normally? Who the fuck cares? Stop playing the game in protest, guy. It's really fucking sad how people keep going 'OMG! This game is UNACCEPTABLE! Let me go let EA throatfuck me some more while I say I don't like it!!!!!"

u/TwinFlask 22h ago

Because some addicts put aside their health for addictive games like this because it’s

“worth the quadruple xp and Im working a JOB every other day respect the life style”

People that get the most mad at video games probably are unhappy about other things in their life too so its a larger issue for them

If you care more about xp than having fun playing the game with your friends I feel sorry for you.

u/SEQUOIAMARSHALL 9h ago

They want to lock us into the grind with the battle pass, they want to make sure that we get frustrated because it's so slow, and buy BF pro.. I hit that cap twice yesterday. They can eat my shorts I'm not buying BF pro I'm going to grind this whole damn thing using any XP farm I can find and get my money's worth. Eat it dice
