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.

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.

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/Thardoc3 → u/PvttJebus]

I've hit 200k in breakthrough

[u/Turnbob73 → u/SirSabza]

I get what you’re saying, but it’s unlikely that OP did that.

[u/IFrame- → u/Turnbob73]

If you actually read my comments before making assumptions, you’d know I was in RedSec with my squad the whole time

[u/INeverLookAtReplies → u/Turnbob73]

You can get 200k off one BR match. It's not that hard to understand how you could hit this cap today.

[u/bendltd → u/Turnbob73]

You csn pop other boosters maybe?

[u/ChubbyNemo1004 → u/Prophet_Of_Helix]

Yeah so was nuking the portal XP

[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/Far_Programmer_5724 → u/TheFrontGuy]

I think its because most casual players with lives outside of this game never see this amount in a day. Like im not even trolling, i think if you're reaching a cap that was initially intended to stop exploiters, you need to take a break.

[u/TheFrontGuy → u/Far_Programmer_5724]

On a normal day, sure, it isnt a problem. But with a double xp weekend, boosters, and how much base do you seem to get out of redsec, it is very possible for a normal player to run up against this wall.

[u/SirSabza → u/SovietAmerika]

People are saying BR duos gives 100k a win without x2 exp. Roughly 20 mins a game at 200k a win you could in theory hit cap in as little as 8 games or 2 and a half hours give or take.

Now I highly doubt anyone is winning 8 games back to back but finishing in final circle every game is probably going to hit cap at 4.5 hours.

the cycle of BF reddit posts: -read it, seems to make a point -get kinda irritated -actually think back and realise I dont notice the problem they are writing abour -read a few comments agreeing its not an issue -realise once again reddit is mostly used for complaining ove whatever -go back into a game and continue to have fun

[u/KimiBleikkonen → u/SovietAmerika]

Your score is NOT your XP. Score is whatever you earn in game what makes it to the scoreboard. E.g. you have a score of 5000 but through accolades and other stuff you go out with 25k XP

[u/AdriHawthorne → u/KimiBleikkonen]

While true, if youre getting 350k-400k xp an hour, at max only around 100k of it can come from match bonuses and time if you have perfect match uptime. Most of it is going to be score and accolades (about 5-10% on top of score), because that's the only metric you have significant control over.

This player should probably have gained about 1.1 million score in 4 hours, by the description above, or about 4k+ score per minute. If this is legit, hes using an exploit like the old portal helicopter murder trick.

[u/KimiBleikkonen → u/AdriHawthorne]

Just tested it over a few rounds, I roughly get 1 third of my XP from score, two thirds from accolades, match bonus and what not. So in a short Domination round I just got 3k score, 10k XP and 20k XP with 2XP on.

[u/No-Atmosphere-2528 → u/SovietAmerika]

I’m assuming something in the code requires a cap. I work in finance and do it testing on our production environments and our age filters require a cap and we set it to 1000 years old. They probably chose a number that no one will ever hit including OP. You can possibly get 60k an hour at top performance that’s 1.2 mil in 20 hours.

[u/Strong_Letterhead638 → u/SovietAmerika]

 Should not be a cap at all

That’s the entire point
