Battlefield 6 uses the PlayStation 5 DualSense’s adaptive triggers for weapon resistance and recoil, which some players find distracting in multiplayer. There isn’t an in‑game switch for it right now. The reliable paths are a system-level setting on PS5 and Steam Input on PC.

Turn off adaptive triggers on PS5 (system setting)

This disables trigger resistance for all games on the console, not just Battlefield 6.

  • Open Settings on your PS5.
  • Go to Accessories → Controllers.
  • Set Trigger Effect Intensity to Off.

Launch Battlefield 6 and the triggers should feel like a standard controller pull—no added resistance or “kick.”

Disable adaptive triggers on PC (Steam Input)

On PC, Battlefield 6 doesn’t offer a native toggle for DualSense triggers. Steam Input is the dependable workaround because it presents the DualSense as an XInput controller, which removes adaptive trigger effects.

  • Quit Battlefield 6 if it’s running and connect your DualSense to the PC.
  • In Steam, open Settings → Controller.
  • Enable PlayStation Controller Support.
  • In your Library, right‑click Battlefield 6 → Properties → Controller.
  • Set Override for Battlefield 6 to Enable Steam Input.
  • Start the game. Adaptive triggers should now be inactive.
Tip: If triggers still feel resistant, restart Steam or your PC, then relaunch the game.

Optional: turn off rumble/haptics in Steam Input

If you want to go further, disable rumble and trigger haptics at the configuration level:

  • Steam Settings → Controller → Calibration and advanced settings → set Game rumble to Off.
  • Or, open the controller Edit Layout for Battlefield 6, select Triggers, and turn off haptic effects in the gear/options for L2 and R2.

These options remove vibration feedback that can feel like trigger tension.

Using EA App or other launchers on PC

The known reliable method relies on Steam Input. If you’re not launching through Steam, the game won’t benefit from Steam’s controller layer. Third‑party tools can sometimes disable haptics over a wired connection, but results vary and add complexity.

Is there an in‑game setting?

Some players report a haptics panel under Settings → Accessibility with a Vibration mix preset set to Custom, then Vibration mix → Modify. This can reduce or remove general haptic feedback. However, it isn’t a confirmed, consistent kill‑switch for DualSense adaptive trigger resistance across PC and PS5, and experiences differ. The PS5 system setting and Steam Input remain the most dependable solutions.

Quick reference

Platform Method Path Effect
PS5 console System setting Settings → Accessories → Controllers → Trigger Effect Intensity → Off Disables adaptive triggers globally
PC (Steam) Steam Input Settings → Controller → enable PlayStation Controller Support; Game Properties → Controller → Enable Steam Input Removes trigger resistance; uses XInput mapping
PC (Steam) Disable rumble/haptics Controller → Calibration and advanced settings → Game rumble Off; or controller Edit Layout → Triggers Eliminates vibration and perceived trigger “kick”
PC (EA App/other) Third‑party tools (wired) App‑specific Mixed results; not as reliable as Steam Input

The bottom line: there’s no built‑in Battlefield 6 toggle today. On PS5, switch off Trigger Effect Intensity at the system level. On PC, launch through Steam with Steam Input enabled; if needed, turn off rumble in Steam’s controller settings. That combination reliably delivers a standard, resistance‑free trigger pull.
