DICE has announced the Battlefield 2042 next update 6.2.1 download that’s set to be released on January 16. While this isn’t a major update, this does bring in improvements, with a bigger patch set to be released at the “end of January” that DICE promises more substantial changes.

Battlefield 2042 Next Update 6.2.1 Patch Notes:

CHANGELOG

• The YUV-2 Pondhawk is now available from the Light Ground Transport Vehicle list for Custom Conquest, Air Superiority and Ground Superiority Custom Experiences in Battlefield Portal.
• The YUV-2 Pondhawk should no longer spawn under the map when deploying on it within Breakthrough > Flashpoint as the attacking side, during the final sector.
• Attachments for the RM68 will now correctly display the Charon Weapon Skin colors rather than appear as factory standard items.
• Soldiers will now be able to successfully spawn on Capture Point A4 whilst it is being contested by the enemy team on Control > Breakaway.
• Fixed an issue on F-35E Panther changing its flying characteristics after activating VTOL while using mouse and keyboard peripherals.
• F-35E Panther and SU-57 Felon should now have similar flight sensitivity while using mouse and keyboard peripherals.
• Further improvements have been made to sticky input while using mouse and keyboard peripherals.

Dev Comment: This will make triggering sticky input quicker and easier especially for default settings, allowing players to do loops without constantly dragging their mouse across the mousepad. Players will still need to provide aggressive input in order to initially trigger this maneuver.

Of course, these smaller patches are part of the studio’s roadmap leading to the big Season 7 reveal and content drop happening in March.

Expect this new BF2042 patch to be released Tuesday around 4 am ET/1 am PT/5 pm HKT, which is the usual time DICE releases these updates on a Tuesday.
