The next big update for “Battlefield 2042” is just around the corner. Before update 4.0 can be downloaded from tomorrow, Tuesday, you can take a look at the extensive patch notes.

A whopping 400 improvements and bug fixes are included in the new Battlefield 2042 update. Electronic Arts revealed what changes are being made in detail today, Easter Monday.

Finally communicating with teammates

The most important innovation is undoubtedly the voice chat. Thanks to the addition of VoIP functionality, players can finally communicate with their squad members. You can choose between two channels (Party and Squad). To change the settings, select “Options” → “Sound/Language” → “In-Game Chat”.

Aside from this feature, there are numerous balance adjustments planned. Specialists are among those affected: Rao and Paik will receive updated traits, and Sundance’s special ability will be improved, making their anti-tank grenades more effective. The development team also took care of the vehicles.



Another new feature: With the last update, EA DICE has revised the scoreboard. Once you have Update 4.0 installed, the board’s updated UI will also appear at the end of the round.

There are also changes to the weapons. From now on, the essays should stand out more from each other, as many of them were too similar so far. EA wants to encourage players to try more weapon attachments.

Other general improvements at a glance:

  • Several improvements to kill assists.
  • Damage assists trigger at a lower damage threshold, improving consistency and clarity.
  • EMP grenades now trigger assists more reliably.
  • Assists can now be triggered when a teammate kills an enemy and one of them was covered by smoke you used.
  • Fixed EMP effects persisting on screen.
  • Fixed a bug where equipping a weapon attachment via the item reveal menu in some scenarios would reset that weapon’s full customization to default settings.
  • Fixed a bug where equipping a weapon attachment via the item reveal menu in some scenarios would reset that weapon’s full customization to default settings.
  • Fixed a bug that sometimes caused the player’s saved customizations to reset to default after joining a server
  • Simplified shortcut keys for chat and VoIP.
  • Weapon swapping for Gunner can now be correctly included in the keybinding.
  • Added airplane and helicopter sensitivity settings to the options menu.

The developers have also fine-tuned the matchmaking. So starting tomorrow, relevant information can be seen in the player card screen. It also fixes a bug where the player got into a loop that ended up sending them back to the lobby. The same applies to the “remove friend” call if a party was dissolved before joining.

The other improvements relate to the following areas:

  • “Battlefield Portal”
  • sound
  • modes
  • AI soldiers
  • characters in general
  • animations
  • HUD

EA DICE has thus thoroughly revised and improved all areas of the game. One or the other might give the online shooter another chance. However, the community will have to wait a little longer until new content is added: Only in June Season One is set to launch, which could introduce at least one new map and more.
