Battlefield 2042 Update 1.0 Includes Hundreds Of Changes And Fixes Ahead Of Season 1 Launch

Battlefield 2042 has received a massive update of 1.0 on all platforms. It brings thousands of bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements, as well as hundreds of other changes to its online shooter, ahead of the Season 1 launch. 

And speaking of Season 1: Zero Hour, DICE will reveal gameplay today at 8 a.m. PT/11 a.m. ET via its Battlefield 2042 YouTube Channel, according to VG247. There, you’ll see a glimpse of these changes and improvements and a look at what the first season of Battlefield 2042 looks like. As for the update, here’s what Dice has highlighted: 

• Numerous improvements have been made to the gameplay of soldiers, resulting in smoother animations.
• To improve the registration of bullet hits, weapons received an updated netcode. We’ve also done a further balance pass which includes increased projectile speeds for DMR’s and LMG’s, and improved accuracy for Shotguns.
• Multiple new XP events were added. These include killing an enemy squadmate who has been wounded or killed recently, or when an opponent vehicle that you damaged recently is destroyed by a colleague and its occupants die.
• Conquest has a larger number of in-world vehicle options, which will make it more convenient to travel across the map
• Sundance’s Wingsuit has been adjusted to lower overall flight time, while making it easier to maneuver. EMP Field Smartexplosive has been eliminated to make their Specialty easier.

Dice is scheduling the next update for early July, but it’s “a smaller update that brings further fixes and changes to the battlefield.” Head to Dice’s full patch notes list for the complete list of changes, bug fixes, and improvements.
