Hey folks,
I want to open a discussion on whether using services like U4GM to unlock weapons in Battlefield 6 crosses the line ethically. The question is: does it ruin fair play or is it just finding alternate ways to spend real life instead of game hours?
U4GM provides boosting services: weapon unlocks, mastery leveling, ranking, etc. They claim things like “Level specific weapons and camos”, fast delivery, and maintaining account safety.
What do you think? Should the community condemn boosting services, or are they just part of the evolving game economy (time vs money)? Would you feel cheated if your opponent unlocked weapons through a service vs through gameplay?

What the service offers
U4GM provides boosting services: weapon unlocks, mastery leveling, ranking, etc. They claim things like “Level specific weapons and camos”, fast delivery, and maintaining account safety.
Ethical concerns
- Advantage vs fairness: Players who use these services may jump ahead in unlocks and get access to attachments/weapons others are still grinding for. Is that an unfair gap?
- Game design intent: The developers likely designed a progression curve so players gradually unlock content, which also teaches them the mechanics. Skipping that might contradict intended design.
- Impact on community / servers: If many players use boosting, it could reduce the value of experience and skill, making matches less balanced.
Counterarguments
- Time is limited: Not everyone can put dozens of hours to grind; boosting can level the playing field for casual players.
- Personal choice: If someone doesn’t care about the grind, let them pay to speed it up. As long as it doesn’t impact others, is it a problem?
- What constitutes cheating? If the service uses methods allowed under EA’s ToS or that don’t exploit or hack, perhaps it’s more like a “shortcut” than cheating.
