Alright gamers, stay glued because an insane moment just took place in Battlefield 6 that even the developers might want to ask each other how on earth it went down. Free-no-scope-ing a chopper, that’s right. Not a player, not a drone, but an actual flying helicopter. Duh, said tool is currently being shared at a speed faster than a grenade in a tight corridor.
Here is the brief: NICKMERCS, the god of chaos in FPS, was streaming Battlefield 6 when he resolves to start showing off to the lobby. Right in the middle of a shootout, sniper goes off, flick no scope, and then BAM! One-shot the chopper. The pilot must not have even seen it coming. The clip should be somewhere around the corner of his stream or flying about on Twitter, with the chopper exploding on the far end while Nick just casually jogs away like it was no big deal.
Let’s even try and explain this absurdity. No scoping for just any target is actually considered high risk, high reward. Against a moving aerial target? That’s a level of insanity. Moving aerial target? Probably supreme insanity. Given the very believable physics and pretty strict hit registration that Battlefield 6 has, this is not skill alone-this is a near-magic moment. The comments from the players are outright going off-the-wall, with one comment sealing the discussion by going: “Nickbroke the game and the rules” (Follow-through-credit goes to @kalp8955).
Big question: Was it luck or volition? Assuming it’s NICKMERCS we’re talking about-probably a blend of both. He has been owning shooters for years, from Warzone to Apex, and now he is making a splash by turning Battlefield 6 into his personal playground. Imagine if he’s serious.
Now to the farther reaches of its implications. The clip is only going to fuel that never-ending debate on sniping in Battlefield: should no-scopings be 100% successful? Should helicopters even be allowed to try to dodge? The devs should definitely fix this one real soon before every other player in the game is helicopter trickshotting its way out of objective play.
And here we are with the rest of us left wondering how many takes he did need to get that shot off, or if he really is the Terminator that traveled back in time to school some gamers. The wildest moment in Battlefield 6 is attributed to NICKMERCS, whether on film or away from it, and now it’s just a matter of time before someone attempts to recreate it-and fails terribly.
Hence, yes, if ever you wanted a proof that Battlefield 6 is going to be a chaotic mess, here it is. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to try no-scoping in a training range…and fail miserably.
