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 (via MP1st). 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. It's that pesky misspelling, which took the shape of the non-existent word "security" on the armband of a McNeil skin, that the developers say will be fixed when Battlefield 6 Season 5 launches in November.

"You called it out clearly, and we hear your concerns," the message, acknowledging the memes and conversations surrounding the new skins, said.
The note continued: "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. Thank you for holding us to high standards."
It's a quick acknowledgement – and a promise for a quick fix – that should calm some concerns in the community. The communication from BF Studios and EA, however, did not address how exactly the typo happened in the first place or if there is any merit to the new generative AI accusations launched by fans in the aftermath.
