A similar system was in previous installments of the game.
As noted by blogger TheExclusiveAce, who specializes in analyzing the technical details of weapons and equipment in Call of Duty and Battlefield, Battlefield 6 players on PC experience stronger recoil when shooting. On PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, the recoil is 25% lower.
The blogger notes that this is not an innovation of the sixth installment — in Battlefield 5 and Battlefield 2042, weapons in the hands of players with a keyboard and mouse also "kicked" harder than on consoles. In this way, the developers are trying to equalize the chances in firefights for users on different platforms.
