The most important improvements from Update 2

In the following, we first introduce you to the most important improvements that go live with Update 2:

DICE weakens the heavily criticized scatter of many weapons. Above all, assault rifles should benefit from short salves. Also, the shot accuracy while running or when you get it was improved. The resuscitation bug should have been removed. For the NCAA Hovercraft and the MD540 Night bird, there were noticeable slowdowns. The problems with the drone UAV-1 were fixed, you can use them again on the Bad Company 2 cards.

Battlefield 2042: German patch Notes from Update 2

The scattering of the balls was reduced in all weapons except shotgun. This should lead to better accuracy during the game. The vertical recoil of the PP-29 has been increased to ensure that the weapon does not bring too much power when used outside the intended fight area. It has been resolved a problem where players who were killed near obstacles such as walls or water could not be revived. Cases have been fixed in which players were found in the down state and could not get up again. We also introduced a hidden timer, which is activated after 30 seconds in a depressed state and forces a reorientation if necessary. MD540 Night bird mounted 20 mm cannons — we reduce the radius in which the bullets cause damage to the impact, and reduce their splash damage. Reduction of the explosion radius from 3 to 2 Reduction of the damage inside explosion radius from 1.5 to 0.75 KA-520 Super Hokum — 30 mm cannon (side mounting) — we reduce the total damage and the range in which the bullets do full damage while increasing the total scattering of the stories. Reduced explosion radius from 2 to 1.6 Reduced explosion damage from 20 to 14 Reduction of floor damage before the start of the damage case off from 18 to 15 Reduced Damage Fall off from 200 to 180 Reduction of floor damage at maximum case-off distance from 8 to 6 Increased bullet range and scattering AH-64GX Apache War chief and KA-520 Super Hokum — 30 mm Cannon — We reduce the radius in which the bullets do harm the impact, and reduce their splash damage. Reduction of the explosion damage from 20 to 18 The damage drop in opponents, which are further away from the shooting center of the story, has been increased. We have reduced the total damage to the Minimum for all land vehicles, and the damage waste of the projectiles will now begin earlier. Reduction of floor damage before starting the damage case off from 18 to 13 Reduction of the removal of the damage drop from 60 to 40 Reduction of floor damage at maximum case-off distance to 6 The armor type of NCAA Hovercraft was adjusted to increase its vulnerability against different weapon types. Battlefield Portal — UAV-1 UAV-1 has been reactivated in Battlefield Portal. Highly reduced delay and speed of health regeneration Increased missile damage to vehicles and infantry The drone can now kill opponents on the street. Breakthrough matches are now being completed correctly after the last sector has been conquered. There was a problem that led to players who were in the queue for a match in Battlefield Portal were sent back to the menu, rather than joining the match when a place was free. General stability improvements to prevent rare game crashes

Roadmap for upcoming updates

This year, two more updates for Battlefield 2042 (Buy Now €54.99) planned.

Update 3 should appear at the beginning of December Update 4 should go live before Christmas Information about the start of season 1 should then be in early 2022

The upcoming updates should focus mainly on the following areas:

Performance and server stability should be further improved — with the previous updates already made noticeable progress. Gun play and Balance : Update 2 is already a step in the right direction. Update 3 will follow further improvements. Solo / Loop and Portal (experience and progression) : The goal is that players can earn many experience points comparable in all modes.
