EA developer DICE might have thought its fight with Battlefield 6 players over Closed Weapons mode was finished, but Battlefield 6 players aren't done. It's been claimed many times now after the military shooter's summer beta period, but some people want to nail the point in with a hammer: they don't like Open Weapons, and Closed Weapons mode was all but hidden from them.

EA has its own hammer and nail: that's not what the data says. According to a community update posted ahead of Battlefield 6's October 10 release date, "the vast majority of players, after trying both playlist types, chose to stick with Open Weapons," which lets you use whatever weapon you want, regardless of class.
