Battlefield 6 players have woken up to find certain special cosmetics on their account; skins that they absolutely should not have.
The Battlefield 6 equivalent of getting someone else’s expensive takeout order instead of your own, Phantom Edition skins are showing up seemingly at random for the lucky few. These skins, which are meant to be included with the extra pricey version of Battlefield 6, fit out your four available classes with slick military black camo.
Several players have taken to community hubs including Reddit to figure out whether this is a shared problem, their stories being corroborated
So how could this have happened? Well, a number of legitimate Phantom Edition owners were meant to have obtained these Phantom Edition skins at launch but didn’t. This was during the initial days post-launch, and resulted in official communications from Battlefield Studios that these issues would be resolved soon.
However, there hasn’t been an update to this promise yet! It’s entirely possible these mysterious gifted premium skins are a consequence of developer efforts to remedy that problem. So, if you’re a surprise owner of some special Phantom Edition skins, maybe keep it quiet and your fancy new threads will fall under the radar.
Battlefield 6 has proven exceptionally popular since its launch last weekend. In the days following, there have been a series of updates and bug fixes including the death of “Ladder Launching”, an adjustment to Conquest Mode ticket counts, and a hasty fix to momentum issues.
