Battlefield 6 Developer Explains Game’s Destruction Damage Mechanics

Alright, picture this: you’re in your cozy room, messing with Battlefield 6, right? And there’s this developer dude, David Sirland, who drops some insight that makes you go, “Wait, what?” Apparently, when stuff blows up around you, it doesn’t zap your health right away. Like, it’s a slow burn or something. Odd, huh? But it’s this cool feature they’re rolling out on October 10. So mark that down. Or don’t. I’m not your calendar.

Anyway, back to the beta of Battlefield 6 — which, by the way, people seem to love! Seriously, it’s got this momentum that’s making other games jealous. Over 500,000 folks were hooked and logged in just on Steam! Call of Duty who? Nah, just kidding. But seriously, it’s outdoing itself. And everyone’s yapping about it now.

But let’s rewind a bit. Sirland chatted on Twitter, or maybe he didn’t. Who actually knows what happens in internet-land, right? Anyway, he clears up this whole thing about how buildings falling on you kinda won’t squash you instantly. Which is a relief, I guess? He said —wait, let me get this right— they didn’t want things to feel like roulette. Or something along those lines. You hang around in the debris too long, your health meter’s definitely gonna feel it. Big rocks = bigger ouchies. And they’re still tweaking stuff, so who knows what that means for us poor players.

Now, picture me giving a sigh of relief. Sirland’s reassuring us that as we inch towards the game’s big day, the destruction deal will be even better. It’s like ordering a pizza and waiting for the perfect cheese pull when it’s out of the oven. Will the damage become more “oomph” or mellow out? No idea. Let’s wait and see.

Oh, and heads up! There’s another beta run from August 14 to 17. Get on it if you missed the first one, or just wanna dive in again. Who’s betting it’s gonna be another hit like last time? I would, but I’m notoriously bad at predictions. Last time I tried, I ended up with two left shoes.

So, Battlefield 6: October 10, 2025. If you’re into intense graphics, maybe exploding buildings falling slo-mo on your digital head, and general chaos — this one’s for you. I’ll just be here, biting my nails and hoping not to get squashed under virtual rubble.
