Battlefield 2042 Season 7 Weapon Visual Recoil Changes Outlined
New content won’t be the only thing that players will have to look forward to with Battlefield 2042 Season 7, as DICE has revealed that there will be some gameplay changes. One of these changes included in the Battlefield 2042 Season 7 update is weapon visual recoils, and DICE has outlined just what players can expect with some before and after comparisons.
“As we get closer to the reveal of Season 7 for Battlefield 2042, we wanted to begin touching upon some key gameplay changes set to take place! First up is Weapon Recoil, take a look below to see how Assault Rifles, SMGs and LMGs will be feeling different in the upcoming Season.” DICE said on X/Twitter early today,
“With Season 7, we wanted weapons to feel more unique and powerful when it comes to firing them, as such we have made changes to how visual recoil is handled within the game and tuned them to the vision for each weapon.
Similar to the work that had taken place with Season 5 and Camera Sprint Motion, these changes will be more subtle to some of you while being more apparent to others.
It’s an effort to create a more vivid firing experience, which will provide more visual emphasis on the weight and power of a weapon as you fire whilst aiming down sights.
Going forward we hope these changes will now provide distinct character to each weapon’s gameplay and visual expectation, while also ramping up the immersive experience without impacting gameplay viability.”
To demonstrate what you can expect, here are some comparisons showing off a few weapons.
In comparison to the above, you will see that an LMG is far more punchier and feels more impactful when firing.

This change also extends to Submachine Guns, and once you get to grips with these changes once #Battlefield2042 Season 7 lands you will notice that there are distinct behaviors not only on a per-weapon archetype basis but on a per-weapon basis too. pic.twitter.com/KzcKjp9wdE

DICE states that they made these changes to want to hit those sweet spots, though they’ll be watching for feedback to see how players react. All of this, and much more, will be coming in the Season 7 update for Battlefield 2042. As for when this update will be out? Well, sadly, DICE has yet to announce that. Though given they’ve started releasing teasers and are now openly discussing what’s coming in it, we’d take a guess and say that the new Season will release much sooner as opposed to later.
Fingers crossed, that the Season 7 release date will be revealed soon!
