EA’s Battlefield 5 has been out for a few days now (or a couple weeks, if you had early access to the game through Origin Access Premier or its Deluxe Edition), and developers DICE have been continuing to make tweaks and optimizations to the game based on the data they’re collecting and the feedback they’ve been receiving from players.
One of the changes that’s coming up for the game that might prove to be pretty major is to TTK (Time to Kill) and TTD (Time to Death). DICE’s Florian Le Bihan, core gameplay designer on Battlefield 5, recently took to Twitter to confirm that changes will be made to both, TTK and TTD, and that DICE will be sharing details about what these are quite soon.
In case you’re confused about what exactly Time to Kill and Time to Death are, or about what the distinction between the two is, Le Bihan was helpful enough to post another tweet in which he explained exactly that. You can take a look at it below.
Battlefield 5 is currently available on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Chapter 1 of its Tides of War update will be going live on December 4- read more about it and what content it will bring through here.
Yes, there are TTK changes coming too.

My defintions are:
– TTK is how fast you kill with a certain weapon from the perspective of the shooter
– TTD is how fast you die from the perspective of the victim, this perspective can involve different starting health and multiple damage sources (more than 1 player)— Florian – DRUNKKZ3 (@DRUNKKZ3) November 23, 2018
