Battlefield 6 Portal experiences now grant reduced XP to tackle bot farming servers

In a recent community update, the development team addressed some issues created by bot farming servers in Battlefield 6 Portal. They were responsible for a global outage, which made it impossible for gamers to host their own servers. To tackle this problem, the BF development team has made changes to both Portal experiences and the game's backend responsible for handling matchmaking.

This article will shed light on the community update, which addresses XP farming servers in Battlefield 6 Portal.

Bot Backfill in verified Battlefield 6 Portal experiences

Moving ahead, Bot Backfill is now disabled from verified game modes in Battlefield 6 Portal. This ensures that full XP rewards and progression can be awarded to qualified experiences. Players interested in trying out these custom formats do not need to worry about matchmaking with bots any longer.

To implement this change on verified experiences, the qualifying creators must unpublish their game modes, disable the Bot Backfill setting, and then republish them. Furthermore, gamers might need to restart their hosted servers, both normal and persistent, to handle the ongoing changes being implemented live.

Since the initial hammer was dropped on XP farming servers, there has been a steady decline in their number. The development team is hard at work devising ways to introduce bots later down the line, without harming the integrity of verified formats.
