Battlefield 6 players aren’t happy after EA and Battlefield Studios’ changes to two of its most controversial cosmetics failed to live up to expectations.
Following promises to address fan feedback last week, the Battlefield community was quick to see how update 1.1.3.6 adjusted the Objective Ace skin and Winter Warning sticker when the patch went live this morning. The problem is the changes are almost too small to notice.

Let’s first take a look at Objective Ace. The skin drew criticism through Season 1 when players noticed it bore a striking resemblance to the Call of Duty: Ghosts logo, with both sharing even a few finer details, such as cracks and paint streaks. The Assault skin also caught flak related to the large white armor piece located on its chest.
The updated version of the cosmetic received the more noticeable facelift of the two impacted, with its updated look now featuring new details and a slimmer design overall. Still, it’s not enough for the players who were expecting more significant changes.
“[I] think the damage has already been done,” one player commented.
“Why did they copy COD in the first place?” another added.

The Winter Warning sticker, on the other hand, was the center of controversy when players noticed details that suggested it may have been created using generative AI. Battlefield 6 update 1.1.3.6 seems to have brought no change to its design, with its soldier finger placement and double-barreled M4A1 still plainly in view despite being two of the bigger talking points amongst fans.
It’s been cause for concern for those who feel EA and BF Studios may have misled fans. However, the developers have since stepped in to say the timing relayed in last week’s patch notes, which promised to adjust Winter Warning with the February 3 update, was “incorrect.”
“The latest update notes communicated that a change would be made for the Winter Warning Player Card Sticker to bring it more in line with Battlefield’s visual identity,” a message shared today says. “This timing was incorrect. Winter Warning will be updated when Season 2 launches on February 17th.”
It’s unclear what the new version of the sticker will look like when it launches with Season 2 in about two weeks. For now, players have taken to social media to call attention to both the delay and the relatively small changes to the cosmetics.
“Show what ur doing with it,” one fan suggested.
“Stop using AI generated Art and cosmetics and we will trust this statement and future ones,” another added.
Battlefield 6 saw a strong start when it released October 10, 2025, for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S but has faced backlash in recent weeks as players hope for fundamental changes to how BF Studios is handling post-launch content. The fallout from a disappointing end to Season 1 reached a boiling point in early January, with the team eventually announcing that Season 2 had been delayed.
Following an extended Season 1, Season 2 will launch February 17. Players got a first look at its new map, Contaminated, a few weeks ago, and more content (including the return of a Battlefield 4 map) is in the works for the future.
