Patch Update — October 2025 (Week 2)

EA has officially announced backend changes to Community Experiences after discovering that many servers were being used primarily for XP farming and bot farming. These servers reached maximum capacity, making it harder for players to create real gameplay experiences.

If you’ve been following the latest updates, Battlefield 6 Season 1 is set to drop October 28 — bringing new maps, weapons, and game modes that could reshape how players grind XP moving forward.

While the goal of this change is to promote more authentic player-driven sessions, it also means XP farm servers are now heavily restricted — you’ll notice lower XP gain rates and more difficulty hosting solo bot lobbies.

If you’re specifically looking to unlock all snipers and complete challenges fast, there’s still a reliable method that works — check out our detailed guide here: BF6 Sniper Farm (Week 2 Unpatched) — Unlock Every Sniper Fast Using This XP Lobby Trick.

That said, there are still efficient ways to earn large amounts of XP through custom and verified experiences, especially when optimized with the right settings and strategies.

Why XP Farming Got Nerfed

According to the latest Community Update, EA found that:

  • Thousands of servers were focused entirely on bot farming for XP and accolades.
  • This caused server congestion, limiting access for creative or friend-based experiences.
  • EA is now re-emphasizing player interaction and verified community modes that reward teamwork over bot grinding.

While the old “Custom Breakthrough” XP farm lobbies (like XFCP) offered up to 200,000 XP per match, the new system reduces XP from those bot matches by roughly 40%.

Still, there are new workarounds that let you maximize progression without breaking the rules.

What You’ll Need

  • Access to Community Experiences mode
  • Stable internet connection
  • Optional: XP Boost Tokens
  • A weapon you’re still leveling up

Step 1 – Join the Custom XP Farm Lobby

  1. From the Main Menu, go to Community Tab → Experiences.
  2. In the search bar, type: XFCP You should see “Custom Breakthrough” appear under Community Experiences.
  3. Click Host to start your own session.

Step 2 – Add a Password

Before launching the match, make sure to set a password.
This prevents random players from joining and ensures the session remains full of bots — the key to farming XP efficiently.

You can set any password you like; just remember it in case you want to rejoin the same server later.

Step 3 – Spam the Host Button Until You Get In

This is the most tedious but crucial step in the whole process.
After setting your password, start spamming the Host button repeatedly. You’ll almost certainly see a

“Game quota exceeded”
error message — this is totally normal.

It happens because Battlefield 6 limits the number of community servers running at one time. Keep pressing Host every few seconds until it finally lets you in.

Pro Tip: Hosting during off-peak hours (early morning or late night) increases your odds of getting in faster.

Stay patient — once it works, you’re in for the easiest XP of your life.

Step 4 – Load In and Farm the Bots

Once you’re in, every enemy in the match will be AI-controlled bots.

Your goal:

  • Stay on objectives (they capture slowly, which stacks tons of XP).
  • Rack up kills while defending or attacking capture zones.
  • Use weapons you rarely play with to maximize weapon XP gains.

Pro Tip: Activate an XP Token before the match starts — it multiplies your total rewards when combined with accolades.

Gear Upgrade Tip: Your controller setup is only as good as the hardware you’re using. Upgrading your controller and accessories can drastically improve your input precision and comfort:

Step 5 – Collect Rewards and Repeat

At the end of one full round, you’ll rack up:

  • 200,000+ XP total
  • Multiple weapon unlocks
  • Dozens of ribbons and accolades

Best of all, the match auto-restarts, keeping you in the farming loop.
Most players report earning 3–5× more XP per hour compared to standard multiplayer sessions.

Bonus Tip – Optimize Your Aim & Controls

When farming bots for XP, your accuracy directly affects how fast you progress.
Before diving into long XP grind sessions, make sure your settings are dialed in:

Will XP Farms Return?

Unlikely in their old form — EA’s changes are focused on reducing spam servers and keeping space open for creative gameplay. However, verified creators will still be able to build high-XP experiences that meet new standards.
