Battlefield 2042 Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

General

• Players that are not the Party Leader can now cancel while waiting in a queue

• Xbox – Cross-Play can now be enabled/disabled in the Options menu on Xbox

• Your Sort settings will now be correctly remembered when refreshing the Battlefield: Portal Server Browser

• Fixed an issue where loadouts would sometimes be empty on the spawn screen after joining a server, preventing weapon selection

Audio

Weapons

• Removed bounce from Underbarrel Grenades when firing at short distances

• 40mm AP Grenades now properly damage vehicles

• Fixed some weapons displaying wrong ammo counts for specific magazines

• DXR-1 and NTW-50 Bolt Action rifles reload animation increased by 0.2 seconds

• Adjusted dispersion values for most weapons, which results in a faster dispersion decrease when tap firing or doing short bursts

• Adjusted dispersion increases for most weapons. It now takes slightly longer for weapons to become overly inaccurate in sustained fire

• Adjusted the recoil values to prevent over aggressive recoil jumps for the AK24, LCMG, PKP-BP, SFAR-M GL, and PP-29

Vehicles

• Fixed a bug where vehicle weapons sometimes did not deal blast damage on a direct hit

• We're reducing the Ground Vehicle 30mm Cannon effectiveness versus infantry. It now overheats faster, has a slightly reduced rate of fire and blast damage, and increased fall off damage at distance

  • Rate of Fire 350 -> 330

  • Heat Per Bullet 0.13 -> 0.14

  • Heat Drop Per Second 0.5 -> 0.475

  • Blast Damage 20 -> 18
