If Battlefield 6's gear grind is this slow, I worry what its battle pass will be like

Last week I was: getting stuck into Battlefield 6, testing out weapons and all the new maps in the launch version.

This week I've been: trying to unlock every weapon in Battlefield 6 before Season 1.

Battlefield 6 may still be fresh from the oven, but it's already come under flak for its slow progression systems. It can feel like running through treacle trying to rank up, level weapons for attachments, and perhaps most painful of all, to complete the many arduous assignments—not helped by a prominent bug causing assignments not to track.
