Final Blurb

Battlefield 6 doesn’t reinvent the controls, but it sharpens them. Small changes make a big difference in heat-of-the-moment decisions. If you want full control of your kit, seat, or flight path, mastering these inputs is non-negotiable.

Always start here before customizing your layout.

FAQ

Can I change these controls in settings?

Yes. You can fully rebind all keys and controller buttons from the options menu.

What is the default bipod key on PC?

F, but it only works while aiming down sights near cover or prone.

Are controller bindings the same as Battlefield 2042?

Most are similar but not identical. Some layout changes reflect new systems like attachment modifiers.

How do I know if a control is active?

Contextual actions like bipod or scope mods only activate if your stance or position allows them.

Is this layout final for launch?

These are from the current public build. Final release may change minor mappings.
