Players of Battlefield 6 are buzzing with theories about potential Easter Eggs and upcoming updates, all because one dedicated fan stumbled upon a mysterious hidden room in the game’s firing range.
The buzz surrounding this secret room, hidden by EA and Battlefield Studios, started when Reddit user Mobile_Cyberdemon_as posted a video of their character glitching into an unseen area. This dark, unlit space is cleverly tucked away behind the standard weapon testing room. Its only hint of existence is a sealed door marked with a red “keep door closed” sign.
A video shared on Reddit by u/Mobile_Cyberdemon_as showcased the discovery of this hidden room in the Battlefield firing range.
Interestingly, the existence of this hidden Battlefield 6 room on PlayStation 5 has been confirmed by others who managed to replicate the glitch. However, it’s a bit anticlimactic, as the mysterious space contains little more than a workbench and an empty gun rack.
It’s easy to dismiss such areas as simply unfinished game assets, but fans have other ideas.
Considering Battlefield 6 launched only weeks ago, it’s anyone’s guess what Battlefield Studios might have originally planned for this room when it was subtly placed behind the firing range. Nevertheless, a few details have given players ample reason to start crafting elaborate theories about what the hidden room was meant for – and what it could still become.
One popular theory suggests that the room might be a vehicle hangar currently under development. Players are vocal about wanting a more extensive shooting range than the single room currently available in the game.
Many Battlefield 6 enthusiasts have proposed theories centered on expanding the firing range. They hope that even if this hidden room wasn’t originally intended as a vehicle testing area, it could be developed into one later. The community has long expressed a desire for such an addition, especially since players have been forced to use valuable helicopter and jet spawns just to practice basic flight maneuvers.

Another popular theory suggests the room could have served as a slightly smaller firing range upgrade, allowing players to quickly experiment with different weapons and attachments. Commenters have even toyed with the idea of bringing a flashlight attachment into the hidden room to search for any Battlefield Easter Eggs that Battlefield Studios might have secretly placed.
Many of these ideas related to the Battlefield 6 mystery stem from features players would genuinely like to see implemented. The firing range enigma could certainly be an Easter Egg, an unfinished feature, or a future content update. However, there’s also a compelling possibility that players have been interacting with this room’s hidden aspects long before Mobile_Cyberdemon_as made their direct discovery.
“You can see that stripey background in that customize weapon screen,” one popular fan theory stated. “I guess that’s why the firing range loads so fast, because you’re actually in it the whole time.”
“That’s my assumption is when you’re in the menus you’re actually just in that room with your view locked to a UI and with different walls or areas serving as backdrops for certain screens in the menu system,” another player added.
A Twitter user named @TwentyFPS1 also shared an image, humorously commenting, “I think I did wrong,” implying they might have also glitched into the room or discovered something unexpected.
For now, the hidden firing range room doesn’t appear to be much more than an extra space to explore. While Battlefield 6 fans continue their inevitable search for Easter Eggs in every dark corner, the online community has also been discussing the first Season 1 map, Blackwell Fields. Information is also available regarding Battlefield REDSEC and its battle royale modes, alongside discussions about why some Battlefield 6 fans are dissatisfied with EA’s new standalone experience.
