Battlefield 6 Devs Respond After Players Take Aim at 'Secuty' Typo and Cosmetic With 5 Pistols

The Battlefield 6 team has responded after players took aim at a few controversial cosmetics added in Season 5. Battlefield Studios took to its official Discord server to offer background information on two skins that caused a stir with the launch of Battlefield 6 Season 5 this past week. The full text confirmed at least one of the issues has a fix in the works, while the other will seemingly remain the same.

The cosmetics—one with what appeared to be a typo in the word "security" and another featuring infantry sporting a whopping five pistol holsters—were officially added October 13 and almost immediately drew ire from fans. The developers confirmed that the misspelling, which took the shape of the non-existent word "secuty" on an armband of a McNeil skin, will be fixed when Battlefield 6 Season 5 launches in November.

The note acknowledged the community's concerns, stating: "To be completely frank: Items that miss the mark like this do not reflect the quality standards you expect from us, or that we set for ourselves. We take pride in the craft of our world and our gear, and seeing visual oddities slip through is frustrating for everyone. We are currently examining our internal processes and workflows to pinpoint how these issues occurred and to see how we can tighten our quality control process going forward."

Regarding the second cosmetic, the Midnight Mirage skin with its five pistol holsters, BF Studios clarified that this design was not a mistake at all. They explained: "This is an intentional creative concept—a nod to over-the-top action movie tropes where an operative inexplicably has another backup weapon strapped to every spare inch of gear." The team signed off promising to keep an eye on community response in the future.

As they continue to try out new ideas, the developers thanked players for their continued feedback and support. Battlefield 6 Season 5 will roll out over three waves; the first added the Vegas Strip and Area 51 maps, while European Casino is slated for November 10, and more map updates are coming later in the year.
