Battlefield 6 Patch 1.1.2.0 is finally here, and with it comes a big question from the competitive community:
Does the recoil-reset meta still work after the patch?
Short answer: Yes — and in many ways, it’s even stronger.
But the patch also introduced several tune-ups that slightly shift how you should be bursting and how your mid-range fights now play out.
Recoil Reset Is Still Alive — Here’s What Changed
Recoil reset (or spread reset) has always been one of the highest skill-expression mechanics in Battlefield. It works by firing in a specific rhythm that allows your weapon’s accuracy to recover between bursts.
This core mechanic is unchanged — but 1.1.2.0 did adjust the environment around it.
Below are the three biggest influences on your post-patch burst rhythm:
First-Shot Accuracy Buffs
Many weapon categories now fire their first 1–2 bullets more cleanly. This pushes back the point where bloom becomes a problem.
Bloom Curve Adjustments
Lower bloom-per-shot on some guns and slightly increased variance on others shifts which weapons can over-burst safely.
Mid-Range Fight Dynamics
Stronger opening accuracy and velocity tuning means the 20–40m range is more lethal than before — especially for players with disciplined bursts.
Tip:
Recoil-reset timing itself has not changed. The patch only affects how long each burst can be before bloom takes over.
What Aim Assist Changes Mean for Keyboard & Mouse Players
One of the biggest adjustments in Patch 1.1.2.0 was the Aim Assist rework.
While none of these changes affect recoil or accuracy on mouse & keyboard, they do affect the skill landscape.
Here’s what the AA revamp means for M&K players specifically:
📌 Controllers Track Better at Mid-Range
With improved slowdown, friction, and occlusion behavior, controller players now maintain more consistent tracking at 20–40m.
Your Counter: Cleaner bursts and superior crosshair discipline
📌 You Must Out-Accuracy Their Stickiness
You won’t beat enhanced AA by spraying. You beat it by maintaining maximum accuracy windows and leveraging recoil reset better than your opponents.
Your Advantage: Perfect recoil control without slowdown curves
Info:
Aim assist changes raise the average opponent’s consistency — making disciplined burst timing even more essential for M&K players.
Updated Burst Timing After Patch 1.1.2.0
Your recoil-reset timing stays the same.
Your optimal burst length shifts slightly depending on category.
Assault Rifles:
5–6 rounds
DMRs / Semi-Autos:
2–3 shots
LMGs (Unbipodded):
7–8 rounds
SMGs (Mid-Range):
6–9 rounds
Snipers / Marksman:
Fire → Settle → Fire
Success:
Mastering these updated burst lengths will give you a measurable advantage in every mid-range fight — especially against controller players benefitting from the new AA system.
🎮 Final Thoughts
Recoil reset remains one of the strongest skill mechanics in Battlefield 6. Patch 1.1.2.0 didn’t nerf it — it clarified who truly understands it.
If anything, the mid-range meta now rewards precision shooters more than ever.
