Battlefield 6 Open Beta: PS5 Exclusive Skin Revealed, But Cheaters Already Disrupting Matches
Battlefield 6’s Open Beta has kicked off with a bang. PlayStation 5 users can unlock an exclusive “Advance Party” soldier skin, while the early access event is already drawing large crowds eager to test the next-gen FPS. Unfortunately, it hasn’t all been smooth. Just days into the beta, cheating complaints are already surfacing.
Battlefield 6 PS5 Exclusive Rewards
Players logging into the Battlefield 6 Open Beta through PS5 are greeted with a reward: the Advance Party skin. The cosmetic features black, gray, and PlayStation blue details and will be available when the game launches in October. While its class compatibility is still unknown, it highlights EA’s effort to offer platform-specific bonuses.
Additional in-game rewards can also be earned across the two beta weekends. Tasks include reaching certain levels, completing objectives like capturing flags or sectors, repairing vehicles, or racking up kills and assists. This structure encourages player engagement while offering a taste of what’s to come.
Grounded Cosmetics, No Outlandish Skins
Unlike competitors such as Fortnite or Call of Duty, Battlefield 6 is sticking to realism. Developers have confirmed that players shouldn’t expect over-the-top collaborations or pop culture crossovers. The focus remains on grounded, authentic soldier skins.
Cheaters’ Plague Early Beta Access
Despite good intentions, the early beta phase has seen cheating issues arise. On August 7, players began sharing clips of wallhacks and other exploits, even though EA claimed the Javelin anti-cheat system would be live from launch. One viral video caught a cheater mid-match, prompting a quick ban from EA. Still, some fans worry that Javelin isn’t fully functional yet, perhaps by design to gather more data during testing.
EA’s response has been swift, with developers assuring the community that anti-cheat enforcement is ongoing. But frustration is growing. Some players have already claimed they’re leaving the beta due to cheaters, expressing concern over the launch-day experience if these issues persist.
Beta Momentum Continues
Even with these concerns, the hype for Battlefield 6 remains high. Between the new cosmetic rewards, improved game feel, and transparency from developers, players are hopeful that EA will patch up the cracks before the full release. With the second weekend of open beta ahead, all eyes will be on how EA handles cheaters and continues fine-tuning Battlefield 6.
