The next major update to EA’s Battlefield 2042 has arrived with some big changes for the player base. Most notably, VoIP functionality is finally making its way to the game for Parties and Squads. There’s a change to the way the end of round displays on the Scoreboard and an overhaul to weapon attachments. There’s a lot more inside, of course, as the patch notes themselves are remarkably long. However, these are the highlights of the update according to the development team.
With Update 4.0 we’ve overhauled the behavior of many weapon attachments to ensure that their impact when customizing your weapons is unique and noticeable. Previously, some attachments had effects that were too similar to others, and it was unclear what the impact on your weapons would be when switching between them. We encourage you to experiment with the refreshed weapon attachments to see how they feel after the update.
Other areas touched on by this update include:
- General bug fixes and enhancements
- Matchmaking and Social
- Progression and Unlocks
