Battlefield 6 has reached its one-year milestone, yet the celebration has sparked significant frustration among its player base. While the game previously moved past the struggles of Battlefield 2042, the current "Celebrate Year 1" event is being criticized for its lackluster rewards.
The event offers daily login rewards over seven days, concluding on October 13. Players can earn three weapons—the DB-12 shotgun, M121 A2 machine gun, and VCR-2 assault rifle—alongside two player cards and two 15-minute experience boosters. Critics argue these items are insufficient, noting that the weapons are obtainable through standard challenges and the boosters are the shortest duration available.
Community sentiment on platforms like Reddit has been harsh, with some users describing the event as a "slap in the face." Comparisons have been drawn to free-to-play titles, with players suggesting that EA should have provided premium currency instead of the current cosmetic and minor utility rewards.
Looking ahead, Season 5 is scheduled for October 13, introducing three new maps, including two set in Las Vegas and one in Area 51. Additionally, a crossover with the Dead Space franchise is expected, featuring character skins inspired by the horror series.
