A ridiculous number of players have flocked to Battlefield 6 over the weekend, hopping into multiplayer matches and testing out what’s possible within EA and Battlefield Studios’ big new release. This includes reaching out-of-bounds rooftops for absurd sniping spots, in spite of efforts to prevent such attempts.
Dubbed “Rooftop glitches” for self-explanatory reasons, the term describes any route or method which allows a player to reach the rooftop of a building that should be inaccessible. The benefits to abusing a rooftop glitch are plentiful, as it allows players with sniper rifles to settle in a location overlooking key objectives or funnel points.
In Battlefield 6’s Siege of Cairo map, for instance, there’s a large central street where much of a match’s most explosive fights happen. It’s meant to be an arduous position to fight over, without many truly safe positions to hunker down.
Enter the rooftop glitch, which allows snipers to climb on top of a wooden watchtower by the highway overlooking this street. With some fast sprinting and smart use of Assault Ladders, it takes around a minute or two to reach. Also, if you go prone while up there, you’re totally safe from incoming fire from grounded enemies.
