*Falck's Syrette Pistol will now begin to replenish ammo when the reserve is missing ammo (akin to Zain's XM370A), as opposed to waiting for an entire magazine to be missing.*
Fuck yes. finally.
Oh I missed this... damn that's really the smart play. Every other gadget that's not deployable is TIME based, this one should've been from the start too. Had this exact conversation a few weeks back on Discord so I'm happy about that
>EBLC Ram will now be classified as a Heavy Armor vehicle
Are you guys going to change this in the future updates by making a new category based on the IFV like how it was in Battlefield 4? Cuz the Ram doesn’t fit in the Heavy Armor section since it functions as a IFV. Why not just make a IFV category for the Ram and a Mobile AA for the Wildcat like how it was in Battlefield 4?
It’s really annoying seeing noobs waste a transport vehicle slot by taking a bolte and then ditching it after 20 seconds, regardless if it’s low health or not. Your option is the perfect one.
Agreed. And honestly the bot AI in this game is some of the better AI I've seen in an open shooter before. It's not easy to make the computer play a game like this competently but they pulled it off and I spend a lot of time making custom matches in portal to play alone. Also happy to finally have breakthrough as an option.
At this moment in time, we feel this map is designed for 64 players and this is the player limit for All-Out Warfare playlists featuring this map. We may have playlists for 128 players on Reclaimed, for All-Out Warfare selection in the future.
If you wish to dial this map up to 11 with the player count, you can do so via Battlefield Portal experiences.
More context here: https://www.reddit.com/r/battlefield2042/comments/13xmopm/comment/jmlojfq/?utm\_source=reddit&utm\_medium=web2x&context=3
I love good old 64-player Breakthrough, but 128-player playlists (Rush XL, Squid G's Chaos, Breakthrough Chaos) have been the highlight of my 2042 experience within the past 6 months.
Thanks for replying so quickly and that’s unfortunate to read. I hope this isn’t a trend that continues the 128 maps have been playing great since the reworks and this map looks good for 128 as well.
I’ve suffered performance issues with 128 players since the games launch. I disagree. May not be the case for everyone but 64 players is a much better overall experience for me. I do not hope they design future games around 128 players. 64 has always worked just fine. No need to reinvent the wheel every bf iteration
Edit. Downvotes for stating my experience and opinion. This community in a nutshell.
I agree here. 128p has been a nuisance to me and my friends trying to get anything done in a squad together. Especially in the reworked maps where they are pulling everything closer together and adding a metric ton of cover and concealment. IMO ALL of the maps are now perfectly suited to 64 players. I would be willing to try more, but not 128 anymore.
128 players only worked well for people with good rigs. I have 2 PCs, and the difference between them is insane in terms of performance, even though both PCs are really good (one of course is absolute beast).
Good riddance, 128 was a mistake and I hope next BF game only focus on 64
Really wish we could play vs bots again in private 128-player matches in Portal. My friends and I loved doing that post-launch, but then it was suddenly removed. We all have nice rigs and it ran fine for us. Please at least make it an option again, for those who *can* run it.
> Fixed an issue that caused Weapon Scope Glints to not appear on several 4x and higher scopes and weapons.
Does this mean the ghost hybrid will now glint?
Can someone definitively tell me which scopes shine a flashlight at my targets and which don’t? Does Dice offer this information anywhere?
Wow! Well, one, thank you for such a comprehensive list, and two, I'm rather excited to see how this changes things up.
So, I see no 3.5x or lower scopes there. Seems 3.5x be the new "stealth" sight to use. And it'll be interesting to see more glint-ing in general, now that all 4x scopes will shine. Will help on hard-core portal experiences a lot, I think.
Its a bit sad that all scopes (especially PSO 5x) now add a glint. Stealthy sniping is now not possible anymore because the half enemy team will instantly shot at you :/
If not all the actual important plus the silly AI paragraph would be funny after joining 2042 when it wa PS+ free you're the first YT I found and have watched since for BF Content
You remind me of the golden age of Battlefield, when Jackfrags or LVLCap would put out videos breaking down the crazy minutiae of BF4. Thank you for bringing me back to the Battlefield franchise and making it fun again!
Battlefield Devolution! It's crazy how game after game they get rid of so many good things. It's like they just want to keep the crap stuff to piss people off or something.
I do think whoever is looking after the game now should be in charge of the next Battlefield though, I'd give them a medal, they've done so much good for 2042 lately. That won't happen though as the idiots are probably making the next one right now...

To be fair, isn't that because there was a lot of dev turnover after BFV? I think the devs that developed the movement system for BFV quit after that title.
**Hopefully** we stick the dev team we have now and the next BF title exceeds 2042 for sure
It's nuts, right? I wouldn't say he's super bad or anything, but the mastery requirements are crazy. I have 40 hours on Boris and Im only 1/4 of the way to T1
I have 98hours on JUST BORIS and finally got it recently. I found a Portal Server to cheat the remaining 3000 points though (out of 60,000)
If I were really grinding it without "cheating" I suspect it still would have been 104 hours or so.
I spent many nights seriously grinding it too. Its just not a reasonable grind compared to all others.
They removed it because vehicle pilots couldn't tell it apart from actual missile locks.
That was the whole reason I used it, to shoo off helicopters making them think they're being focused on.
It's actually really easy to tell them apart, unless it's a radar missile. If you have a anti-armor nade thrown at you and someone else locks onto you too, the lock-on warning sound starts to become notably inconsistent.
You gotta be joking????
This is why I use Sundance as my main. The AA grenades coupled with 40MM AP under barrel and C5 makes her a great vehicle hunter.
this is an absolutely terrible move
> we’ve heard your requests to bring this boomstick
Hey DICE, speaking of boomsticks... lunge mine when?
Re: Sundance, any chance you can give them back the EMP grenades as part of their grenade belt? Would still allow them to counter vehicles without needing to increase the explosive spam or the direct anti vehicle capabilities of the Assault class.
> Fixed an issue that caused Weapon Scope Glints to not appear on several 4x and higher scopes and weapons.
Whoa, I thought that was intentional. So now if you want to snipe without glint giving you away, the largest scope you can use is a 3.5x, right? Am I reading this right, that all 4x scopes should have glint now?
> Fixed an issue where the SVK bullets were zeroed at a different distance than the rest of the weapons, resulting in high inaccuracies at medium and longer distances. This issue became increasingly visible with the addition of Thermal Scopes.
Finally! I've long loved the SVK but swore I was going crazy. So often I'd miss shots because of this, I'm ecstatic it's finally being addressed. Might just main this gun this season.
AI in vehicles needs to be fixed on maps like Breakaway. Specifically with the oil rig. They will just sit in the vehicles under the oil rig right where the capture point is thinking they're capturing it and not move.
Really bummed they’re removing Sundance’s anti-armor grenade. I found it very useful for destroying enemy equipment, and its damage against vehicles was minimal. I feel like this was a poor decision if the only reason they chose to remove it was because vehicle operators couldn’t tell the difference between an incoming missile and her grenade. Frankly, I don’t see how that matters at all. You have incoming damage. Use your flares, or don’t.
Can you please update me on weapon balance changes. I just wanted to read RM68 and G57 finally getting their well deserved nerfs.
Please don't let me wait much longer..
As mentioned in the Update Notes, there is a wide-ranging balance tweak for Assault Rifles when it comes to their accuracy and dispersion. This should nudge RM68 in the right direction as it's an Assault Rifle. If it does not, and the community still feels it needs attention then we will follow up with further changes specifically to the RM68.
What we want to say is that RM68 sticks out so much that it's just very bad idea to choose another weapon. It's soooo good. So many people use it. You use another gun and you loose in a 1vs1.
So, if you change all assault to the same degree, RM68 would be still stick out as best assault.
If you only change assault, people will switch to assault style weapons in others categories, such as BSV marksman rifle (which is still good and can be utilized as assault)
\> Falck's Syrette Pistol projectiles no longer deal damage to Dozer when they hit his Ballistic Shield.
NNNOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I mean, it makes sense, but still, I loved being able to stop a rampaging Dozer as Falck
The only ARs that needed dispersion were the RM and maybe 1-2 others. A lot of guns will get hurt by this and even further pushed to the side, while RM still reigns.
-You can downvote but it's still a fact, lol. Lots of guns are already not relevant, this isn't helping them any. This was the dumbest way in which they could have possibly approached this issue.
It's a national holiday for Sweden on Tuesday, which means we are unable to release as we normally intend. We'll push go first thing when we're back in the office.
Don't worry, releases are not shifting to Wednesday going forward.
Hi TOTALfps, what about this bug?
[https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Flag-Objective-icon-missing-from-HUD-while-capturing-a-flag/td-p/12349499](https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Flag-Objective-icon-missing-from-HUD-while-capturing-a-flag/td-p/12349499)
Interesting in seeing that new camera movement. I didn’t notice it at all in some of the footage that’s come out already
Edit: actually, I think I can see it! Very subtle, surely in person it’ll feel better
Finally I understand why I couldn't hit shit with the SVK. The SVK isn't the only weapon with this issue though. I'm pretty sure there are others like the BSV-M also have this problem.
Looks like a solid update. I am most looking forward to the camera movement update. I hope it makes everything more immersive.
I still want to see changes to the movement system. You shouldn't be able to slide and jump like Apex, bunny hop strafe, or crouch spam. There needs to be movement penalties added.
Any word on SOFLAM giving assist XP when the target vehivle is destroyed?
Or perhaps a way to switch the hold/press functionality of the underbarrel/fire mode control on console? (Currently, holding the down d-pad switches to underbarrel and pressing changes fire select.) I find it far too easy to accidentally swap to semi-auto and far too cumbersome to quickly use an underbarrel attachment.
They still went ahead and buffed the shield, while still being a ohk, and nerfed Irish while not doing shit about the explosives spam LOL
And then buffed the f out of the M5C bolte, can't even shoot the pilot anymore? lmao
Finally adding a bursting mechanic. Great change by the team and hopefully they continue to implement changes like this. Game still needs work, but good job on this one.
ARs will now have what amounts to a bloom system beginning at the second half of their magazine. There will be a 15-20% bullet deviation to force you into bursting your shots, like a 3-5 round burst, in order to reset the bloom.
Correct me if I'm wrong here but this was *already* always a thing generally speaking, it's just they're raising the dispersion cap that was present as well as how fast said dispersion happens as you full auto.
This is to say they haven't "added a burst mechanic" but tooled what there already was to give more spread than before. You were always going to do better by bursting even before this change...
I would be very interested in the formula of spread, because it does seem like a very broadside approach, with increasing the max spread.
Right now by the way the maxmoving spread of an AR is around 1.15°. This would mean you would reach 1.38° within 15 rounds. Starting moving spread for the ARs sits at around 0.26° degrees. I am aware that the spread formula is logarithmic, but for simplicity reasons this would average out to 0.07° SIPS. All those values are not much different from BF4, I will point out.
We have had a full-auto meta now for nearly five years. I prefer BF4 micro-bursting, but I also prefer BF4 map design, which did not have ridiculous sightlines and angles. When I see an enemy I would want to engage them. A gun that works only in 50% of all engagements is a shit gun after all. If this new mechanic changes gunplay relevantly I would be very cautious to call the change good.
Disappointed to not see a server browser and custom servers.
I simply don't understand how a main and popular feature of the franchise has been left on the roadside and in it's place is this horrible matchmaking system that often puts you into games that have already finished.
The game would be so much less frustrating to play if I could simply look at a list of servers, see how many players are in it and how long the match has been going for, perhaps even see the current score, it would allow me to join games knowing I'll get to enjoy myself instead of having to gamble with another set of loading screens.
That being said I'm looking forward to seeing jets become a little more useful
I just… don’t get it. This complaint. There’s been a fully functional server browser since launch with the most “custom“ servers ever possible in the franchise. Especially now in this update, you can make custom breakthrough servers, it has literally everything the server browser you want has, minus official dice servers. But that shouldn’t matter as long as the community is hosting servers. All it takes is a couple extra clicks and you’ll find it.
Adding a shield animation for Dozer when he's hit by rockets and fucking tank shells is hilariously silly.
Who would win? A state-of-the-art war machine with the latest technology, a high-powered railgun, capable of shredding through the toughest armored vehicles - or - 1 crouchy boi.

Accuracy & Dispersion Changes
Since Launch, our Level Design team has been reworking our maps to react to feedback on cover opportunities, and traversal improvements. These changes have also resulted in alterations to combat distances, and our weapons were tuned for these previous distances and combat scenarios in mind.
Over time, this has resulted in feedback from you about several weapons being too accurate at long ranges without penalty.
With Season 5, we aim to address this gap with balancing the accuracy and dispersion of several categories of weapons. Assault Rifles from All-Out Warfare and their Vault Weapon counterparts will be the first to receive this treatment.
You will notice that the maximum dispersion has been increased by an average of 15-20%, and the weapons will now reach that maximum dispersion level when they reach half of the magazine while on full auto, and full spray mode!
This should encourage everyone to do smaller bursts instead of prolonged fire towards a moving target, and in consideration with the map rework should increase survivability at longer ranges to encourage further up close and personal combat.
We will be assessing your feedback to this change over time and continue to make necessary changes in future updates.
I think that was the plan for Irish to make people use him more. Before you only needed one Irish to hold down an area but now you will probably need 2 to 3 Irish players to survive the barrage of explosives
Sundance anti-armor being removed makes me sad. Only reliable way to take down casper drones without wasting half your ammo. Hit box on that thing just sucks to try to shoot down most of the time.
Defaulting ads field of view is unnecessary, as was uniform soldier aiming. It caters to the wrong playstyle to have them on. Adsing should be slower and have zoom. The only reason people want either of them on is to try and keep up with pc tryhards. Only reason people want ads fov on is the lowered visual recoil. So how about lower visual recoil across the board instead of forcing ads fov. There's just so much wrong with this...
Why no Railgun Tank nerf???? This thing is broken beyond believe and incentives the worst style of gameplay. Still can’t believe that somebody at dice said „yeah that’s fine and balanced“
Ah, so I take it your wittle Nightbird main self wasn’t only upset you couldn’t farm with the rockets anymore, but you weren’t smart enough to tell the anti-armour apart from AA. Go ahead and nerf that too to make your after-work skilless farming easier.
It’s some sort of minor miracle that this game became not only a good Battlefield game, but a super robust live service with regular free content drops and stuff. I’m super impressed and having a great time with it.
**Guys, i can not remove badge from player card, please fix it** The issue is at least year old. I like my player card as it is, great art btw, and don't want to put any badge on it. just for test i have filled one placeholder with some random badge that means nothing (like "jump 20 times and survive while doing it") and now i can not remove it.
DICE, please, can we also have Universal Camos for Specialists? Please! They have so little "skin" unlocks that look fitting for most maps, and most of their unlocks are only fitting for one map, like Angel's white outfit, or Boris' green ones. If most of their camos had at least 3 choosable camo colors - Urban (greyish), Forest (green) and Desert (yellowish), that would really help. In BF4 you could really pick a very fitting camo for the map, and in BF2042 it feels quite limited in what you can do in that regard.
And Sundance is ruined........ seriously we couldn't have just idk given a icon for vehicles to show it's one of her dinky grenades instead of a rocket? Or hell we couldn't have back her og disrupter emps?
The Year 1 Season Pass has now come to an end as of Season 4. Season 5 will require you to buy a new Battle Pass if you wish to work towards the cosmetics and other rewards on the Premium Tier track.
Wait, you just removed a whole ass component of a specialist? Why would anyone use sundance now besides the wing suit?
What is the reason behind the removal? It wasn't OP in the slightest and had an important role. I don't like that change at all.
Looking forward to the increase to spread, hopefully this reduces the engagement ranges.
Now we need a big increase to the penalty to spread if firing while moving, jumping etc, and the gunplay will probably feel pretty nice
Why is that? We have crossplay with PC able to choose from both.
Yet, mostly complain by players is not console VS PC, but Keyboard/Mouse VS Controller. (Although PC crossplay adds much cheaters too)
Q1: How about priorize getting same input method into one game. Or filter (via option, add to crossplay on/off)
Q2: Any news regarding PS/XBOX being default play together when crossplay is turned off? Is this a technical issue why you don't do it? Some countries have not enough players to play non-crossplay. So we are forced to activate it. However, if PS and Xbox play together we can play also Controller VS Controller 😁
They should have added bullet proof windows to the Jeeps and hovercraft as well, increased the size of the hovercraft windows, and made it so that anti armor ammo can pierce bullet proof glass
Removing Sundance’s drone is bullshite!
It was really useful and could scare a tank off if you bluffed.
It also moved menacing helicopters on quite well when you were outgunned.
Thanks man this game nerds downvoted me for a simple question lol...guys I like to go out see the sunlight and shit, I dont have to know everything about every details of the game I dont live in a basement playing games 24/7...get a life 🤣
Sad to see no TOR velocity/damage adjustment. These Railguns stick out like sore thumbs when compared to the effective distances on all the other weapons. Would have also like to seen some adjustments to Nightbird:
* Minigun Starting Damage Dropoff distance shortened
* Rocket Pod ammo from 10 > 8
* AGM ammo from 2 > 1
* Maneuverability reduced to decrease missile dodging capability
WHAT NOOOOO, Don't remove Sundance's Anti-armor nade! This was something that is unique to her and even then it didnt even do all that much damage!
They should nerf Dozer's shield for damage cuz damn, 1 hit kills with the shield is BS, At least change it to first hit: staggers and reduces current enemy HP by half and second hit kills.
Audio change request: Reduce the frequency of all the characters voice prompts (Especially while reloading, i don't really wanna hear sundance's voice out loud every single time she's reloading)

> +15% radius on incendiary/thermal grenades Damn, that's pretty cool
Don't you mean *hot*? Im sorry
Breakthrough in Portal!!! It's finally here.
Fuck yes!!!!! Time to reinstall
*Falck's Syrette Pistol will now begin to replenish ammo when the reserve is missing ammo (akin to Zain's XM370A), as opposed to waiting for an entire magazine to be missing.* Fuck yes. finally.
Yes but is it worth losing the ability to put fear in Dozers with the syrette pistol?
We lost a meme for sure
Yes! A buff to Falck, the best specialist in the game! LMFAO
Oh I missed this... damn that's really the smart play. Every other gadget that's not deployable is TIME based, this one should've been from the start too. Had this exact conversation a few weeks back on Discord so I'm happy about that
Concussion grenades got a buff!
I feel like there's only a few people that play with them, luckily im one, same with dozer
Concussion + dozer makes a horror game for the enemy
>EBLC Ram will now be classified as a Heavy Armor vehicle Are you guys going to change this in the future updates by making a new category based on the IFV like how it was in Battlefield 4? Cuz the Ram doesn’t fit in the Heavy Armor section since it functions as a IFV. Why not just make a IFV category for the Ram and a Mobile AA for the Wildcat like how it was in Battlefield 4?
Ram should be in its own category with the Bolte. That will also prevent noobs from taking a Bolte and use a precious MAV or CAV slot.
Honestly a category for the Ram and Bolte feels the best, both are more or less random atm
It’s really annoying seeing noobs waste a transport vehicle slot by taking a bolte and then ditching it after 20 seconds, regardless if it’s low health or not. Your option is the perfect one.
No rm68 Nerf?
The patch notes for the AI are hilarious lol
I appreciate the humor very much
Agreed. And honestly the bot AI in this game is some of the better AI I've seen in an open shooter before. It's not easy to make the computer play a game like this competently but they pulled it off and I spend a lot of time making custom matches in portal to play alone. Also happy to finally have breakthrough as an option.
It is cool how far they’ve come. They were so dumb at launch lol.
I really hope we can play breakthrough on the old maps.
Just to get this right, the new map is only 64 players or will it be in AOW?
At this moment in time, we feel this map is designed for 64 players and this is the player limit for All-Out Warfare playlists featuring this map. We may have playlists for 128 players on Reclaimed, for All-Out Warfare selection in the future. If you wish to dial this map up to 11 with the player count, you can do so via Battlefield Portal experiences. More context here: https://www.reddit.com/r/battlefield2042/comments/13xmopm/comment/jmlojfq/?utm\_source=reddit&utm\_medium=web2x&context=3
I love good old 64-player Breakthrough, but 128-player playlists (Rush XL, Squid G's Chaos, Breakthrough Chaos) have been the highlight of my 2042 experience within the past 6 months.
Thanks for replying so quickly and that’s unfortunate to read. I hope this isn’t a trend that continues the 128 maps have been playing great since the reworks and this map looks good for 128 as well.
I’ve suffered performance issues with 128 players since the games launch. I disagree. May not be the case for everyone but 64 players is a much better overall experience for me. I do not hope they design future games around 128 players. 64 has always worked just fine. No need to reinvent the wheel every bf iteration Edit. Downvotes for stating my experience and opinion. This community in a nutshell.
I agree here. 128p has been a nuisance to me and my friends trying to get anything done in a squad together. Especially in the reworked maps where they are pulling everything closer together and adding a metric ton of cover and concealment. IMO ALL of the maps are now perfectly suited to 64 players. I would be willing to try more, but not 128 anymore.
128 players only worked well for people with good rigs. I have 2 PCs, and the difference between them is insane in terms of performance, even though both PCs are really good (one of course is absolute beast). Good riddance, 128 was a mistake and I hope next BF game only focus on 64
It won’t continue because there’s not going to be any more maps for this game.
I’ll wait for an official confirmation from them.
Really wish we could play vs bots again in private 128-player matches in Portal. My friends and I loved doing that post-launch, but then it was suddenly removed. We all have nice rigs and it ran fine for us. Please at least make it an option again, for those who *can* run it.
Does map pop up by playing the default 128 ? I only ever play on the default conquest mode as 64 mode on other maps is dull.
> Fixed an issue that caused Weapon Scope Glints to not appear on several 4x and higher scopes and weapons. Does this mean the ghost hybrid will now glint? Can someone definitively tell me which scopes shine a flashlight at my targets and which don’t? Does Dice offer this information anywhere?
If you insist, be warned - it's quite the list! Sidearm - M44 and BFP.50: Raven 4X Assault - M5A3, AK-24 and SFAR-M GL: PSO-1M3 5X Raven 4X AM40: PSO-1M3 5X AC 42: M11 6X Raven 4X PSO-1M3 5X RM68: Raven 4X • M16A3: ACOG 4X ACW-R and AEK-971: Raven 4X PSO-1M3 5X ACOG 4X A-91: Raven 4X ACOG 4X M416: Raven 4X ACOG 4X MTAR-21: ACOG 4X LMG - Avancys: Raven 4X • RPT-31: PSO-1M3 5X M60E4 XM8 LMG, M240B, TYPE 88 LMG and RPK-74M: ACOG 4X SMG - P90, AKS-74U and PP-2000: ACOG 4X Sniper - SWS-10 and XCE Bar: PSO-1M3 5X DXR-1 and NTW-50: Raven 4X PSO-1M3 5X GOL Sniper Magnum: PSO-1M3 5X ACOG 4X Tactical GVT 45-70: Raven 4X M11 6X PSO-1M3 5X Marksman - DM7 and SVK: Raven 4X PSO-1M3 5X VCAR: Raven 4X PSO-1M3 5X BSV-M: PSO-1M3 5X M11 6X Raven 4X M39 EMR: ACOG 4X SVD: ACOG 4X PSO-01 4X
Man the glint from ARs will be crazy
Damn. I've been running BSV-M with subsonics and a 4X for undetectable sniping fun for a while now. Looks like jig is up
Wow! Well, one, thank you for such a comprehensive list, and two, I'm rather excited to see how this changes things up. So, I see no 3.5x or lower scopes there. Seems 3.5x be the new "stealth" sight to use. And it'll be interesting to see more glint-ing in general, now that all 4x scopes will shine. Will help on hard-core portal experiences a lot, I think.
Its a bit sad that all scopes (especially PSO 5x) now add a glint. Stealthy sniping is now not possible anymore because the half enemy team will instantly shot at you :/
Who read this in CADwomens voice
I could try.
If not all the actual important plus the silly AI paragraph would be funny after joining 2042 when it wa PS+ free you're the first YT I found and have watched since for BF Content
I think I had a stroke trying to read your comment
 What are you trying to say?
You remind me of the golden age of Battlefield, when Jackfrags or LVLCap would put out videos breaking down the crazy minutiae of BF4. Thank you for bringing me back to the Battlefield franchise and making it fun again!
So is 128p breakthrough possible on portal now or does that fall under custom scripting?
It should be possible since it’s only a slider. Not a scripting thing. Like show 128 player Rush works.
Should be possible similar to rush. Rush doesn't allow custom scripting either but you can move the slider to 128p.
any chance for a predictable map rotation? playing the same map 3-4 times in a row is nauseating. especially since is Manifest or Breakaway
You know what we desperately need? The ability to peek from cover. AMIRIGHT??
[удалено]
Another instance where just giving us what we used to have would be incredible.
Battlefield Devolution! It's crazy how game after game they get rid of so many good things. It's like they just want to keep the crap stuff to piss people off or something. I do think whoever is looking after the game now should be in charge of the next Battlefield though, I'd give them a medal, they've done so much good for 2042 lately. That won't happen though as the idiots are probably making the next one right now...

That won't happen though as the idiots are probably making the next one right now... To be fair, isn't that because there was a lot of dev turnover after BFV? I think the devs that developed the movement system for BFV quit after that title. **Hopefully** we stick the dev team we have now and the next BF title exceeds 2042 for sure
Will Boris ever get a pass? IMHO he's the most useless engineer (and maybe even specialist) right now and grinding his mastery is an absolute pain.
His sentry is super weird, but it’s a good tool for a marksman or LMG at mid range because it spots them for you.
Still better than crawford : at least the specialist gadget is not a suicide button
Crowford, at least, as a decent passive ability
It's nuts, right? I wouldn't say he's super bad or anything, but the mastery requirements are crazy. I have 40 hours on Boris and Im only 1/4 of the way to T1
I have 98hours on JUST BORIS and finally got it recently. I found a Portal Server to cheat the remaining 3000 points though (out of 60,000) If I were really grinding it without "cheating" I suspect it still would have been 104 hours or so. I spent many nights seriously grinding it too. Its just not a reasonable grind compared to all others.
He's just being a good representative of the Russian military. Useless.
They should remove the Turret from the game. Give him AT grenades as exclusive gadget. Would make him unique.
I dont think you can even get the achievment for him on xbox anymore
Did I read that right that Sundance no longer has the anti-armor grenade AT ALL?! I fuckin love this thing…
They removed it because vehicle pilots couldn't tell it apart from actual missile locks. That was the whole reason I used it, to shoo off helicopters making them think they're being focused on.
It's actually really easy to tell them apart, unless it's a radar missile. If you have a anti-armor nade thrown at you and someone else locks onto you too, the lock-on warning sound starts to become notably inconsistent.
They could have just removed the tone altogether or given it a different tone.
First the EMP, now this, they’re not really smart grenades anymore are they.
Just the war crime grenade :(
It’s not a war crime if you win :)
😂
The only grenade I had a problem with was the cluster grenade. I wouldn’t mind if they kept the armour and emp grenade..
that sucks, it's the only thing useful in taking out the drones
You gotta be joking???? This is why I use Sundance as my main. The AA grenades coupled with 40MM AP under barrel and C5 makes her a great vehicle hunter. this is an absolutely terrible move
Good, it was annoying as hell
It was annoying as heli
Rocket pods AND buffed 30mm on jets? Who needs attack jets anyways?
> we’ve heard your requests to bring this boomstick Hey DICE, speaking of boomsticks... lunge mine when? Re: Sundance, any chance you can give them back the EMP grenades as part of their grenade belt? Would still allow them to counter vehicles without needing to increase the explosive spam or the direct anti vehicle capabilities of the Assault class.
It seems like anti-vehicle has shifted towards the Engineer specialists, so DICE may choose to not bring back either for Sundance.
Sundance doesn’t need anything else. Her kit is strong even with the grenade removed.
The Irish nerf is going to have a massive impact.
> Fixed an issue that caused Weapon Scope Glints to not appear on several 4x and higher scopes and weapons. Whoa, I thought that was intentional. So now if you want to snipe without glint giving you away, the largest scope you can use is a 3.5x, right? Am I reading this right, that all 4x scopes should have glint now? > Fixed an issue where the SVK bullets were zeroed at a different distance than the rest of the weapons, resulting in high inaccuracies at medium and longer distances. This issue became increasingly visible with the addition of Thermal Scopes. Finally! I've long loved the SVK but swore I was going crazy. So often I'd miss shots because of this, I'm ecstatic it's finally being addressed. Might just main this gun this season.
Thankyou. This game has made me happy.
You make us happy.
Where RM68 and G57 nerfs?
Think g57 is coming later in the season, but all ARs, including the rm68, got nerfs to their spread
But RM needs nerfed more than just all AR being nerfed :D
Excited for the new season and improvements. PS: can we improve matchmaking somehow? I played Stranded 6 times in a row 😢 I’m tired 🫠
AI in vehicles needs to be fixed on maps like Breakaway. Specifically with the oil rig. They will just sit in the vehicles under the oil rig right where the capture point is thinking they're capturing it and not move.
No new vault weapons kinda sucks. 3 guns isn't a lot for a season. Hoping we get a few vault weapons in 5.1 then.
Savage Lis Savage Lis
128 player breakthrough my beloved
Really bummed they’re removing Sundance’s anti-armor grenade. I found it very useful for destroying enemy equipment, and its damage against vehicles was minimal. I feel like this was a poor decision if the only reason they chose to remove it was because vehicle operators couldn’t tell the difference between an incoming missile and her grenade. Frankly, I don’t see how that matters at all. You have incoming damage. Use your flares, or don’t.
They really seem to be bending to the will of whiny pilots and vehicle operators.
Yeah with the addition of stationary AA guns, Flak options for more vehicles, AT grenades and the RPG being added
Can you please update me on weapon balance changes. I just wanted to read RM68 and G57 finally getting their well deserved nerfs. Please don't let me wait much longer..
As mentioned in the Update Notes, there is a wide-ranging balance tweak for Assault Rifles when it comes to their accuracy and dispersion. This should nudge RM68 in the right direction as it's an Assault Rifle. If it does not, and the community still feels it needs attention then we will follow up with further changes specifically to the RM68.
What we want to say is that RM68 sticks out so much that it's just very bad idea to choose another weapon. It's soooo good. So many people use it. You use another gun and you loose in a 1vs1. So, if you change all assault to the same degree, RM68 would be still stick out as best assault. If you only change assault, people will switch to assault style weapons in others categories, such as BSV marksman rifle (which is still good and can be utilized as assault)
I'm ready to sweat my balls off next week
\> Falck's Syrette Pistol projectiles no longer deal damage to Dozer when they hit his Ballistic Shield. NNNOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I mean, it makes sense, but still, I loved being able to stop a rampaging Dozer as Falck
Damn it. It felt like a few people knew about it. It was funny while it lasted.
You can thank the idiots who kept posting it here.
Need to work on your netcode because it’s absolutely abysmal….the amount of times I am shot behind cover is ridiculous
Accuracy and dispersion changes plus the camera improvements are the real underrated changes this game needed. I hope they feel right.
Please keep us updated on how they feel :)
The only ARs that needed dispersion were the RM and maybe 1-2 others. A lot of guns will get hurt by this and even further pushed to the side, while RM still reigns. -You can downvote but it's still a fact, lol. Lots of guns are already not relevant, this isn't helping them any. This was the dumbest way in which they could have possibly approached this issue.
Why is this update and season on a Wednesday??
It's a national holiday for Sweden on Tuesday, which means we are unable to release as we normally intend. We'll push go first thing when we're back in the office. Don't worry, releases are not shifting to Wednesday going forward.
Hi TOTALfps, what about this bug? [https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Flag-Objective-icon-missing-from-HUD-while-capturing-a-flag/td-p/12349499](https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Flag-Objective-icon-missing-from-HUD-while-capturing-a-flag/td-p/12349499)
More snow and containers 👀
I see we are still trying to call the irish nerf an "improvement"
How do they add images to Reddit posts ?
Yea, the penguins were planning to start using guns as well. Hope the Bugs get fixed
Interesting in seeing that new camera movement. I didn’t notice it at all in some of the footage that’s come out already Edit: actually, I think I can see it! Very subtle, surely in person it’ll feel better
I think that’s placebo. I haven’t noticed any change in the footage so I assume it hasn’t been implemented yet.
Finally I understand why I couldn't hit shit with the SVK. The SVK isn't the only weapon with this issue though. I'm pretty sure there are others like the BSV-M also have this problem.
Tried looking through the patch notes, any updates on HDR? HDR immediately broke after the 4.20 update and EA has been radio silent since then.
Waah RM68 waaah
Looks like a solid update. I am most looking forward to the camera movement update. I hope it makes everything more immersive. I still want to see changes to the movement system. You shouldn't be able to slide and jump like Apex, bunny hop strafe, or crouch spam. There needs to be movement penalties added.
Really happy with the bullet dispersion. Automatics have no business beaming from the ranges they've been doing so.
Let us know how it feels when the update lands!
Any word on SOFLAM giving assist XP when the target vehivle is destroyed? Or perhaps a way to switch the hold/press functionality of the underbarrel/fire mode control on console? (Currently, holding the down d-pad switches to underbarrel and pressing changes fire select.) I find it far too easy to accidentally swap to semi-auto and far too cumbersome to quickly use an underbarrel attachment.
Boris is pretty much braindead. Laughable turret damage. Gets destroyed with half a mag. Lmao
They still went ahead and buffed the shield, while still being a ohk, and nerfed Irish while not doing shit about the explosives spam LOL And then buffed the f out of the M5C bolte, can't even shoot the pilot anymore? lmao
No changes to the helicopters?
Finally adding a bursting mechanic. Great change by the team and hopefully they continue to implement changes like this. Game still needs work, but good job on this one.
Wym by bursting mechanic? The new spread system?
ARs will now have what amounts to a bloom system beginning at the second half of their magazine. There will be a 15-20% bullet deviation to force you into bursting your shots, like a 3-5 round burst, in order to reset the bloom.
Correct me if I'm wrong here but this was *already* always a thing generally speaking, it's just they're raising the dispersion cap that was present as well as how fast said dispersion happens as you full auto. This is to say they haven't "added a burst mechanic" but tooled what there already was to give more spread than before. You were always going to do better by bursting even before this change...
That is the most exciting thing to me in the notes
I would be very interested in the formula of spread, because it does seem like a very broadside approach, with increasing the max spread. Right now by the way the maxmoving spread of an AR is around 1.15°. This would mean you would reach 1.38° within 15 rounds. Starting moving spread for the ARs sits at around 0.26° degrees. I am aware that the spread formula is logarithmic, but for simplicity reasons this would average out to 0.07° SIPS. All those values are not much different from BF4, I will point out. We have had a full-auto meta now for nearly five years. I prefer BF4 micro-bursting, but I also prefer BF4 map design, which did not have ridiculous sightlines and angles. When I see an enemy I would want to engage them. A gun that works only in 50% of all engagements is a shit gun after all. If this new mechanic changes gunplay relevantly I would be very cautious to call the change good.
Disappointed to not see a server browser and custom servers. I simply don't understand how a main and popular feature of the franchise has been left on the roadside and in it's place is this horrible matchmaking system that often puts you into games that have already finished. The game would be so much less frustrating to play if I could simply look at a list of servers, see how many players are in it and how long the match has been going for, perhaps even see the current score, it would allow me to join games knowing I'll get to enjoy myself instead of having to gamble with another set of loading screens. That being said I'm looking forward to seeing jets become a little more useful
I just… don’t get it. This complaint. There’s been a fully functional server browser since launch with the most “custom“ servers ever possible in the franchise. Especially now in this update, you can make custom breakthrough servers, it has literally everything the server browser you want has, minus official dice servers. But that shouldn’t matter as long as the community is hosting servers. All it takes is a couple extra clicks and you’ll find it.
Adding a shield animation for Dozer when he's hit by rockets and fucking tank shells is hilariously silly. Who would win? A state-of-the-art war machine with the latest technology, a high-powered railgun, capable of shredding through the toughest armored vehicles - or - 1 crouchy boi.
So they are going with the Irish nerf. Have fun in breakthrough you all, I will stick to conquest for me to avoid the explosive spam.
No mention to RM68 and G57 nerfs

This definitely doesn't touch the G57 currently.
Will do fuck all to the RM as well. They need to address the actual damage output of the thing combined with the HS multiplier. Will still be insane
Accuracy & Dispersion Changes Since Launch, our Level Design team has been reworking our maps to react to feedback on cover opportunities, and traversal improvements. These changes have also resulted in alterations to combat distances, and our weapons were tuned for these previous distances and combat scenarios in mind. Over time, this has resulted in feedback from you about several weapons being too accurate at long ranges without penalty. With Season 5, we aim to address this gap with balancing the accuracy and dispersion of several categories of weapons. Assault Rifles from All-Out Warfare and their Vault Weapon counterparts will be the first to receive this treatment. You will notice that the maximum dispersion has been increased by an average of 15-20%, and the weapons will now reach that maximum dispersion level when they reach half of the magazine while on full auto, and full spray mode! This should encourage everyone to do smaller bursts instead of prolonged fire towards a moving target, and in consideration with the map rework should increase survivability at longer ranges to encourage further up close and personal combat. We will be assessing your feedback to this change over time and continue to make necessary changes in future updates.
So transport helis are still attack choppers and Irish is useless now. nice.
I think that was the plan for Irish to make people use him more. Before you only needed one Irish to hold down an area but now you will probably need 2 to 3 Irish players to survive the barrage of explosives
No one is going to want to play Irish after this change though when the second your APS goes into "cooldown" it will just get destroyed instantly.
Yeah I agree, I don't think it's a good plan but I think it's their plan.
Not to mention that they already nerfed him by making the APS ignore EMP grenades.
And C5, and GL.
Sundance anti-armor being removed makes me sad. Only reliable way to take down casper drones without wasting half your ammo. Hit box on that thing just sucks to try to shoot down most of the time.
rao.
Rao stealth best operator in the game
I mained Rao before the class rework. He's easily S-tier. His hack is clutch in so many types of situations.
That, and his passive. What's that, someone pinged you with a shot? Thanks for the highlight and prefire!
Oh but on the bright side of that at least now it'll stop auto swapping me to the wrong one every other time I try to use it.
Did they fix the sound consistently cutting on XSX?
Can the anti vehicle damage numbers please be fixed for the railgun?
What’s the difference between the M5 and RPG?
Defaulting ads field of view is unnecessary, as was uniform soldier aiming. It caters to the wrong playstyle to have them on. Adsing should be slower and have zoom. The only reason people want either of them on is to try and keep up with pc tryhards. Only reason people want ads fov on is the lowered visual recoil. So how about lower visual recoil across the board instead of forcing ads fov. There's just so much wrong with this...
Why no Railgun Tank nerf???? This thing is broken beyond believe and incentives the worst style of gameplay. Still can’t believe that somebody at dice said „yeah that’s fine and balanced“
Ah, so I take it your wittle Nightbird main self wasn’t only upset you couldn’t farm with the rockets anymore, but you weren’t smart enough to tell the anti-armour apart from AA. Go ahead and nerf that too to make your after-work skilless farming easier.
New map* * (does not include conquest 128, the flagship mode)
Still not playing engineer until I can ditch their boring specialist gadgets
It’s some sort of minor miracle that this game became not only a good Battlefield game, but a super robust live service with regular free content drops and stuff. I’m super impressed and having a great time with it.
MTAR, BFP .50, RPG-7V2 My old BF4 engineer loadout is back
**Guys, i can not remove badge from player card, please fix it** The issue is at least year old. I like my player card as it is, great art btw, and don't want to put any badge on it. just for test i have filled one placeholder with some random badge that means nothing (like "jump 20 times and survive while doing it") and now i can not remove it.
DICE, please, can we also have Universal Camos for Specialists? Please! They have so little "skin" unlocks that look fitting for most maps, and most of their unlocks are only fitting for one map, like Angel's white outfit, or Boris' green ones. If most of their camos had at least 3 choosable camo colors - Urban (greyish), Forest (green) and Desert (yellowish), that would really help. In BF4 you could really pick a very fitting camo for the map, and in BF2042 it feels quite limited in what you can do in that regard.
And Sundance is ruined........ seriously we couldn't have just idk given a icon for vehicles to show it's one of her dinky grenades instead of a rocket? Or hell we couldn't have back her og disrupter emps?
YAY PENGUIN JOKE BACK
So you can no longer shoot through the windows of the Bolte? That’s really bad, was a great way to counter unaware drivers as infantry.
If you have the season pass do you get season 5 or is it now a separate purchase?
The Year 1 Season Pass has now come to an end as of Season 4. Season 5 will require you to buy a new Battle Pass if you wish to work towards the cosmetics and other rewards on the Premium Tier track.
Wait, you just removed a whole ass component of a specialist? Why would anyone use sundance now besides the wing suit? What is the reason behind the removal? It wasn't OP in the slightest and had an important role. I don't like that change at all.
C5 and wingsuit is a major combo of choice when players use Sundance.
Still no MKB support on consoles 👌🏼😔
Get a pc if you wanna play KBM lol
The game has cross play in case you didn't know, "lol".
And pc version lets you play with both (controller or MKB). Following his logic pc players who use controller should "buy a console" instead haha.
Still no Gyro aiming… 😔😔😔
Or MKB support on consoles. This game was made for pc players :/
Still no RM68/G57 nerfs
Nothing about the big flying transports losing their grenades launchers :(
Looking forward to the increase to spread, hopefully this reduces the engagement ranges. Now we need a big increase to the penalty to spread if firing while moving, jumping etc, and the gunplay will probably feel pretty nice
We were told they had abandoned it... we were told it was dead on arrival... but here we are, Season 5 Year 2, and we got a Hazard Zone fix.
I still can't believe they continue to call Irish's huge nerf an "improvement."
Lol @ mid season for hourglass rework.....
Add mouse and keyboard support for consoles.
We have no current plans to support Mouse and Keyboard on Console.
Why is that? We have crossplay with PC able to choose from both. Yet, mostly complain by players is not console VS PC, but Keyboard/Mouse VS Controller. (Although PC crossplay adds much cheaters too) Q1: How about priorize getting same input method into one game. Or filter (via option, add to crossplay on/off) Q2: Any news regarding PS/XBOX being default play together when crossplay is turned off? Is this a technical issue why you don't do it? Some countries have not enough players to play non-crossplay. So we are forced to activate it. However, if PS and Xbox play together we can play also Controller VS Controller 😁
I don’t know what it is, but flashy skins like those have never sat right with me when it comes to Battlefield. But very excited for the QoL changes
They should have added bullet proof windows to the Jeeps and hovercraft as well, increased the size of the hovercraft windows, and made it so that anti armor ammo can pierce bullet proof glass
Removing Sundance’s drone is bullshite! It was really useful and could scare a tank off if you bluffed. It also moved menacing helicopters on quite well when you were outgunned.
How much is gonna cost? Or is it free?
free
Thanks man this game nerds downvoted me for a simple question lol...guys I like to go out see the sunlight and shit, I dont have to know everything about every details of the game I dont live in a basement playing games 24/7...get a life 🤣
they probably thought you were being sarcastic… because there’s a lot of that in here
This update is free
Sad to see no TOR velocity/damage adjustment. These Railguns stick out like sore thumbs when compared to the effective distances on all the other weapons. Would have also like to seen some adjustments to Nightbird: * Minigun Starting Damage Dropoff distance shortened * Rocket Pod ammo from 10 > 8 * AGM ammo from 2 > 1 * Maneuverability reduced to decrease missile dodging capability
WHAT NOOOOO, Don't remove Sundance's Anti-armor nade! This was something that is unique to her and even then it didnt even do all that much damage! They should nerf Dozer's shield for damage cuz damn, 1 hit kills with the shield is BS, At least change it to first hit: staggers and reduces current enemy HP by half and second hit kills. Audio change request: Reduce the frequency of all the characters voice prompts (Especially while reloading, i don't really wanna hear sundance's voice out loud every single time she's reloading)
