Battlefield 6 has just announced its latest update called California Resistance. Headlining this patch 1.1.2.0 are the enhancements to aim assist and a bunch of new content. At the same time, the studio focused on refining responsiveness, animations, and the overall game stability.
Aim Assist Returns to Original Tuning
One of the highlights in this update is a reset of aim assist to its Open Beta and Battlefield Labs values, according to the announcement.
“At launch, we increased slowdown at longer ranges, but once the game went live, we saw that this made high-zoom aiming feel less smooth and harder to control,” Battlefield Studios said.
With the community feedback and gameplay data, the developers decided to keep slowdown consistent across all ranges. This adjustment helps muscle memory. In the same way, it delivers a steadier experience for players. While this becomes the default, everyone can still change the aim assist settings.
New California Resistance Content
According to Battlefield Studios, version 1.1.2.0 also brings California Resistance. This content adds the new Eastwood map. Conquest mode on Eastwood includes the Golf Cart, helicopters, and tanks.
Similarly, there is a new limited-time mode called Sabotage. It encourages players to focus on demolition and counterplay. Plus, the developers are introducing two more weapons: the DB-12 Shotgun and the M357 Trait Sidearm. A new Rodeo mission type in Gauntlet mode will also be available. It lets players get bonuses after defeating enemies in vehicle combat. On top of that, fans can also expect the Battle Pickups features coming later in the patch.
Aside from all these, there are several portal updates and an under barrel attachment. The update also includes a limited-time California Resistance bonus path in the Battle Pass.
More Improvements in Battlefield 6
Beyond aim assist and the new content, the update makes big changes across the board. For instance, the controller aiming feels smoother. Weapon accuracy has been tightened, and dispersion has been reduced. Also, challenges and progression are clearer to track, and deployable gadgets received a major polish pass. Likewise, Portal now has Fort Lyndon.
At the same time, players will benefit from the stability improvements that affect the following areas:
- Player
- Vehicles
- Weapons
- Gadgets
- Maps and Modes
- UI and HUD

- Single Player
- Audio
- Portal
