Electronic Arts has detailed the latest update for Battlefield 6. Update 1.1.3.5 will arrive on January 20, 2026, and is a smaller affair focusing on refining melee combat, and adding additional consistency and polish across the board.

The update was announced on X in a post that breaks down everything that’s set to change. The key points are as follows:

• Improved responsiveness, consistency, and sprint behavior for melee attacks, including knives and the sledgehammer.
• Updated jet combat balance by reducing jet cannon effectiveness against other air vehicles.
• Updated and refined the UI and HUD across Multiplayer and REDSEC, improving armor bar visibility, reticle presentation, and menu navigation.
