Weapon bloom has long been a Battlefield staple, but Battlefield 6 has made it a bigger talking point than ever.
The game already reintroduces fan-favorite features like large-scale destruction, squad coordination, and intense firefights, while also retaining the same unpredictable bullet spread that some players aren’t too fond of.
Many players who recently jumped in are realizing that their aim can feel unreliable even when they’re dead-on target, and that frustration has reignited the debate around bloom, recoil, and overall gunplay.
How Does Weapon Bloom Actually Work?
In simple terms, bloom refers to the invisible cone of inaccuracy that widens as you hold the trigger.
Within that cone, bullets can miss the exact aim point by a small margin, which is known as accuracy spread.
The longer you shoot, the wider the cone becomes, which makes it harder to land consistent hits.
This mechanic in Battlefield 6 applies to hip-fire and also while aiming down sights, which means scoped rifles and marksman guns still experience its effect.
To visualize this, imagine firing an assault rifle continuously at a wall. The first few bullets will group tightly, but as you keep shooting, the shots begin to scatter around your reticle.
The effect of bloom stands out the most during automatic fire at medium and long distances. Jumping or sliding throws off accuracy, but holding your ground and pacing your shots stabilizes it.
Attachments matter a lot because longer barrels can slightly lessen bloom, but certain foregrips can make it worse despite reducing recoil.
Battlefield 6 favors players who shoot in bursts, hold smart angles, and use the right attachments.
Most players aren’t upset about bloom being part of the game but about how unpredictable it currently feels. They’ve shared plenty of clips showing shots that should connect but don’t.
This has led to the infamous “ghost bullet” problem, where hit markers appear or blood effects trigger, but the game doesn’t register actual damage.
The blame first fell on bloom, though the real issue extends beyond it. According to Battlefield’s principal game designer, Florian Le Bihan, two separate bugs are currently affecting how dispersion behaves.
These bugs can cause bloom to spike dramatically, sometimes even at the start of a magazine when accuracy should be at its highest. The problem can appear right after crouching or in close combat and makes bullets fail to register.
What Have the Developers Said So Far?
The developers have confirmed that weapon bloom and hit-reg inconsistencies are being investigated simultaneously.

A beta-related bloom bug was resolved before launch, though two new ones have appeared since. Both are tied to how the game calculates dispersion, which can unexpectedly rise beyond the intended balance values.
DICE has reassured players that a fix is in progress, though there’s no official release date yet. The latest patch notes indicate that the developers are moving in the right direction.
Early post-launch updates focused on weapon handling, recoil tuning, and movement penalties such as firing while sliding or airborne.
The tweaks act as groundwork for a major accuracy update that will specifically deal with bloom.
Developers have also hinted that they plan to revisit overall gun balance once the dispersion bugs are resolved, to avoid over-correcting toward a “laser beam” meta similar to Call of Duty.
When Can Players Expect the Bloom Fix?
As of 2025, there’s still no firm timeline for when bloom will be fully corrected.

However, based on DICE’s recent communication and the speed of earlier hotfixes, it’s likely that adjustments will continue to roll out gradually over the next few updates.
With how promptly the team fixed login and progression problems, there’s every reason to expect a bloom fix soon.
Player feedback is guiding the adjustments, which means the fixes might come in stages rather than all at once.
How Can Players Minimize Bloom Until the Fix Arrives?
Until the issue is resolved, the best way to handle bloom is to fire in short bursts instead of holding the trigger.

The opening shots of most rifles and LMGs are highly accurate, and pacing your fire gives bloom time to reset.
Staying still while firing and aiming down sights reduces spread. Keep in mind that heavy barrels and precision grips tend to improve performance, but certain foregrips can hurt your ADS accuracy even if they smooth out recoil.
If you prefer the Kord AR or long-range LSW loadouts, pick builds that stay accurate during extended bursts.
Close-range fights are less affected by bloom, but you’ll still notice differences in accuracy between stable and moving stances.
Discipline and precise movement are what separate good players from the rest until the next patch arrives.
