The LGT (light ground transport), Battlefield 6’s most plentiful vehicle, is a failure on every level.”It is so bad at its one job—safely transporting—that it’s not unusual to watch your team ignore a fleet of free jeeps and choose to hoof it across the map instead,” I wrote in October 2025. “With four seats, one turret gunner, and absolutely zero protection from bullets or mines, taking a ride in Battlefield 6’s sole transport car is like announcing to the entire server that five free kills are vroomin’ their way soon.”Over four months later, the LGT remains as useless and undesirable as the day Battlefield 6 released. Nobody bothers using one for its intended purpose, and when the exception that proves the rule decides to brave the danger, they usually get blown to bits or bail within seconds.

We are going to try a package of vehicle improvements on Labs very soon, so keep an eye out for that.” (Image credit: EA)Sounds promising, but it also stings to learn another important improvement for Battlefield 6 is, at minimum, weeks and weeks away. I can live with that, and I’m glad DICE has this Labs platform to thoroughly test stuff, but I’m going t
