Some vocal Battlefield 6 players are asking for changes to the grenade launcher, having labeled it as "largely useless." Similar criticism has simultaneously been aimed at Battlefield 6's rocket launcher.
Battlefield 6 is currently in the midst of its second open beta weekend, which kicked off on August 14 and is scheduled to conclude this Sunday, August 17. Between this test and the one that preceded it, hundreds of thousands of players have had a chance to get first-hand experience with the upcoming shooter, leading to plenty of lively online discussion of the game's perceived strengths and weaknesses.
Continuing this trend, some fans have recently banded together to criticize the way grenade launchers were balanced, calling them one of the worst Battlefield 6 open beta weapons. The main concern is their limited area of effect, which typically requires direct hits to secure kills, an interaction many consider unintuitive. While Battlefield 6 is not a military sim, it retains such a theme, and some fans argue the weapon’s perceived ineffectiveness clashes with that setting. In a recent widely circulated post, Reddit user Nameless908 called the grenade launcher "almost completely useless" while comparing it to a spitball pen.
