Players of Battlefield 6 were taken aback when they realized that the compass, a seemingly standard feature in games like this one, is not activated by default. Instead, it needs to be manually turned on through the game’s settings during the open beta.
As I type this, I’m thrilled to share that the open beta for Battlefield 6 is live! The second round is scheduled from August 14 to 17. This is our chance, fellow Battlefield enthusiasts, to provide crucial feedback about the game as it stands now, before it heads into its final development phase leading up to its October 10 release date.
From the response I’ve seen so far, fans have been vocal about a wide range of aspects, including recoil patterns and map sizes. This valuable feedback allows Battlefield Studios to make subtle yet significant improvements. Some dedicated fans are even asking for more immersive features like weather effects, although whether we’ll see those changes in such a short timeframe remains to be seen.
Battlefield 6 Has a Compass Feature, But It’s Disabled by Default
It appears that Reddit user Phrecki has pointed out an interesting detail about Battlefield 6: its compass function is turned off by default. This revelation left many players in the discussion thread surprised. Some of these players noted that soldiers within the game tend to use cardinal directions (north, east, south, and west) to indicate enemy locations. However, without a visible compass, these directions may not be particularly useful as players will mostly find themselves wandering around Battlefield 6 maps aimlessly unless they’ve accidentally stumbled upon the compass setting within the game.
In the Battlefield 6 open beta, I’ve noticed many fellow gamers struggling to locate a compass, which seems to have sparked discussions on EA forums. It appears that the benefits of having one are quite clear, yet it’s proving difficult for some players to find. To help those who might be missing it, here’s how you can enable it: Dive into the Settings menu, then navigate to the Graphics menu and select Interface and HUD. Next, head to Advanced HUD settings, where you’ll find the compass option. Once found, simply toggle it on. Since it’s easy to overlook, let’s hope that when the full game launches, the compass will be enabled by default.
Even though Battlefield 6 is still in open beta testing, it’s already setting new records for the series. It currently boasts the highest number of simultaneous players on Steam among all Battlefield games, and this achievement is even more noteworthy considering that the open beta is free to play. While nothing is certain, Battlefield 6 has managed to surpass the peak player count of any Call of Duty game on Steam, indicating a promising start for its success.
