Battlefield 6 players have discovered a daily XP limit, a problem that has only increased in severity thanks to the ongoing double XP event happening in the game. XP has been a hot topic for various reasons including Battlefield 6 players, ranging from bot farms in Portal, to other progression-based issues.
Battlefield 6 had a massive launch, easily surpassing its predecessor both in engagement and with a much smoother launch. However, the game has not been free of controversy and fan frustration, much of which has revolved around the XP earned by playing. EA has moved quickly on many of these issues, including making a server-side change to increase progression speed Battlefield 6allowing players to unlock new items faster than at launch. However, a new issue has surfaced in the community, leaving many players frustrated after the discovery.
Battlefield 6 has a daily XP cap
While double XP events are great ways to quickly level up and unlock new gear, players have discovered a frustrating issue stemming from a daily XP cap. Players have noticed that after earning 1.5 million XP, the game stops rewarding anything for the rest of the day. While this number is still a huge amount of XP to earn in a single day, it is not impossible. The big problem here is that the daily limit has not been updated due to Battlefield 6s Double XP weekend event, meaning players are more able to reach that value much easier/faster than normal and are basically locked out of earning any new rewards.
Naturally, this realization has left most players frustrated and disappointed, with many sounding out online against this tactic. While some question whether it is even possible to earn that much XP without using some sort of XP farming method Battlefield 6many are still frustrated that such a limitation exists in the game at all. Fans liken the limitation to something a free-to-play or mobile game would do, not a premium AAA title. Some likened it to a way to get players to log in every day to complete a new set of challenges and missions. Others pushed back in a different way, saying that maybe it's time to do something else, like go out or use the free time for other activities. But during special weekends like a double XP event, a question like this will become a hot topic.
XP gains and progression are faster now than they've ever been thanks to continued tweaks from EA. Battlefield Studios also looked over Battlefield 6 challenge and quest system thanks in large part to player feedback as well as research and data. Specifically, the requirements for quests and challenges have been lowered across the board, making the game more rewarding and allowing players to unlock new skins and gear at a much faster rate. The changes have been well received by the community, and given how valuable feedback is, it will be interesting to see if EA makes any sort of adjustments to the current Daily XP cap.
