Battlefield 6 Update Improves Jet Combat And Knife Attacks

Battlefield 6 Update Improves Jet Combat And Knife Attacks https://ift.tt/aPR1G6Q Earlier this week, Battlefield 6 's Season 2 launch was pushed back to February 17 to give the development team more time to implement some needed changes. But that doesn't mean there won't be some improvements ahead of time. Electronic Arts has announced that Battlefield 6 Update 1.1.3.5 will arrive on Tuesday, January 20, and it's bringing some good news for anyone who wanted the jet combat to be more refined.
