In Battlefield 5, changes to the Time to Kill are occurring with the update on December 11. DICE is aiming to make as many players happy as possible with a feature. The ultimate question is: How fast should Battlefield 5 be?
What happened? A few weeks ago, DICE announced that changes to the Time to Kill (TTK) and Time till Death (TTD) in Battlefield 5 would be coming soon. It is about how quickly players die in Battlefield 5.
This announcement has since sparked heated and controversial discussions among numerous fans. While many fans consider the current status quo optimal, there are many who demand a higher TTK. They want to live longer.
What will change: As the developers recently announced in an official update in the Battlefield forum, the first adjustments to the TTK and TTD in Battlefield 5 will come on December 12.
Players should then already be able to notice the first significant changes to the TTK/TTD damage model.
Today, the TTK will likely be in stronger focus. As DICE announced, today’s changes will have a direct impact on the Time to Kill throughout the game, thereby providing a more balanced gaming experience for all players.
Since the TTK and TTD are closely interconnected, improvements to the Time till Death are also being worked on simultaneously. These pertain to netcode as well as damage and health feedback, according to the developers.
The list of specific changes is expected to be provided later today.
This is how Battlefield 5 aims to make everyone happy: The upcoming changes have been controversially discussed for some time. However, even as the calls for adjustments to the TTK and TTD have increased, the developers have not overlooked the fact that many players prefer the current state of the damage model.
Therefore, DICE is leaving the choice to the fans regarding how they want to play. For this purpose, a new playlist has been designed, which goes live today – “Conquest Core”.
There, players will still be able to play with the previous TTK model. This playlist is expected to evolve over time and represents the first step towards the traditional hardcore experience of Battlefield 5.
In the other playlists and modes, the first changes to the TTK and TTD will already be active today. The developers encourage all players to try out the new playlist and make a direct comparison with the new adjustments. This feedback is enormously important for the further development of the game, according to DICE.
What exactly is Time-to-Kill? Time-to-Kill (abbreviated TTK) refers to the time required to eliminate an opponent with a particular weapon while at full health.
What exactly is Time till Death? Time till Death (abbreviated TTD) is the time from your full health until death.
Do you prefer the current TTK? Or do you support the upcoming changes? What do you think of the alternative playlist?
