Battlefield 6 tunes down challenge requirements

Battlefield 6 community update, Challenge & Assignment Changes, which brings significant reductions to challenge requirements and more, was revealed by the game’s developers on Nov. 5, 2025, via a post on the Battlefield Comms X (formerly Twitter) account.

As for the reductions to challenge requirements, they were shortened in time investment. Meanwhile, Assignments will continue to range from goals players can complete through regular play to a few that reward high skill, particularly those tied to cosmetic items.

“Challenges and Assignments are tuned around defined playtime targets, and these changes bring their requirements in line with those goals to make them more achievable within a reasonable session length,” explained the title’s developer, Battlefield Studios (which includes DICE, Ripple Effect, Motive, and Criterion).

The first set of changes went along with the announcement on Nov. 5, 2025, and became available immediately.

While the update brings in total over 90 tweaks to Challenges and Assignments, Battlefield Studios emphasized that they have large-scaled plans for their further improvement based on the community’s feedback.
