Battlefield 6: Why Your Stats Might Be Lying to You Battlefield 6 finally added an in-game stats page, but thanks to Portal mode exploits, those numbers might not be telling the whole truth

Battlefield 6 players finally got what they’ve been asking for: a detailed in-game stats page. After years of relying on third-party trackers, you can now view your kills, K/D, assists, revives, and more directly from the main menu.

But there’s a problem — those stats might not be as accurate as you think. Thanks to Portal mode farming, some players are inflating their numbers in ways that make the leaderboards practically meaningless.

✅ The Good: A Real Stats Page at Last

Since its launch on October 10, 2025, Battlefield 6 has included a long-awaited Profile tab that tracks all your key stats. For the first time in years, you can open the game and instantly see how you’re performing — no more guessing whether that last match actually improved your K/D ratio or not.

It’s a great addition that brings Battlefield closer to what fans have wanted for years. Unfortunately, the system’s transparency also makes it easier to see how broken the stats have become.

⚠️ The Bad: Portal Mode Is Breaking the System

Just like in Battlefield 2042, the Portal mode has returned — but this time, it’s far more advanced. Built using a new Spatial Editor powered by the Godot engine, Portal lets players tweak maps, modify rules, and even build brand-new custom experiences.

EA has been promoting this creativity, allowing XP progression across every mode, including Portal. That’s where things started to unravel.

Players quickly realized they could create bot-filled servers that effectively serve as stat farms. By spawn-trapping AI enemies, players can farm thousands of kills in minutes, sending their K/D ratios and total eliminations skyrocketing.

The result? Some players’ stat pages look incredible — but they’re completely artificial.

🧠 EA Tried to Prevent This… Kind Of

Before Battlefield 6 launched, EA claimed to have protections in place to prevent low-effort XP farming. Senior designer Olivier Thivierge explained that Portal would be split into two categories:

Verified Experiences: Official or EA-approved modes that grant full XP and progression.
Custom Experiences: Community-created modes with time-based XP limits to reduce farming abuse.

This system works — for XP. But the real issue lies with stats, not progression. Even when XP is throttled, kills earned against bots still count toward your lifetime stats, inflating metrics like K/D and total eliminations.

That means legitimate players and AI farmers share the same leaderboards, with no distinction between them.

😤 Players Are Starting to Notice

The issue has quickly gained attention online. On October 15, players began posting about Portal stat manipulation on social media, suggesting that EA should separate Portal stats from standard multiplayer.

Others noted that Battlefield 6 still lacks in-game leaderboards, which makes bragging rights over inflated stats feel hollow. One player admitted that after accidentally joining a bot-heavy lobby and watching their stats jump, they now avoid AI matches altogether — because their own profile “feels fake.”

🔧 What Needs Fixing

If EA wants Battlefield 6’s new stats page to have credibility, it needs to separate or flag data earned in Portal mode.

Here are a few possible fixes that would restore trust in the system:

Separate Portal stats entirely from standard multiplayer.
Exclude AI kills from key metrics like lifetime K/D.
Add visible indicators showing which stats come from Portal servers.

Even a small change, like an icon or color-coded stat line, could make a huge difference in showing which numbers were earned legitimately.

🪖 The Bottom Line

Battlefield has always been about teamwork, vehicles, and objective play — not padding stats. But by introducing a comprehensive stats page without accounting for Portal farming, EA has unintentionally created a system that rewards exploitation over skill.

Until Portal stats are properly labeled or separated, take every Battlefield 6 profile — including your own — with a big grain of salt.

Your numbers might look great, but if bots helped you get there, the stats don’t tell the full story.
