If the random spread of weapons in Battlefield 6 is ruining your kills, a small mistake in your gameplay might be to blame, says a Twitch streamer.
What is the problem with the weapons? In Battlefield, there is the so-called Weapon-Bloom. This is the random spread of a weapon’s shots when firing. The bullets do not hit where the sights aim due to the Weapon-Bloom.
During the beta of Battlefield 6, the Weapon-Bloom became a topic of discussion among players. Since the full release of the shooter, however, the discussion has become increasingly heated. Many players are frustrated and convinced that the random spread is stronger than it should be (see Reddit).
The developers announced on October 14, 2025, that they had found two bugs affecting the Weapon-Bloom and are working on them (via X).
Players make a mistake when shooting
In what way are you to blame? The Twitch streamer and YouTuber ottr – known for strong gameplay in games like Apex Legends, Marvel Rivals, and The Finals – is currently mainly playing Battlefield 6. In a clip that you can see on TikTok, the streamer talks about a mistake that many players make in Battlefield 6, leading to stronger Weapon-Bloom.
In many shooters, weapons have a so-called First-Shot-Accuracy. This describes how precise the first shot of a weapon is. It usually hits much more accurately than the subsequent shots in sustained fire. In some games, the second or third bullet is still relatively accurate.
The streamer says that the precision of the first bullets is the best way to avoid Weapon-Bloom. Because while in other games the recoil often increases with longer fire, in Battlefield 6 the Bloom mainly worsens. This, in turn, does not start with the first bullet.
The big mistake that many players make, according to ottr, is firing the weapon continuously without pause while switching from hip-fire to aiming down sights. The first shot is only so precise if you use the sights. However, many players in Battlefield first shoot from the hip at the opponent at the beginning of a shooting switch and then go into aim while shooting – especially in close-range fights.
The streamer says: When you switch to aiming while shooting, the shots are already imprecise due to the spread. You have already lost the precision of the first bullets and see the full extent of the spread in the sights.
What should you change? Shooting from the hip is an important and strong mechanic that you should maintain. Many good players also rely on the laser in their weapon loadouts to better deal with hip-fire and keep the upper hand in close-range duels.
To not suffer under the Weapon-Bloom now, you should pause briefly before going into aim. The weapon can “recover” and when you continue firing through the sights afterward, you enjoy the full precision of your rifle again.
