Just the other day, DICE released a new patch for Battlefield 2042 (3.1.2) that included new weapons, gameplay tweaks and more! Same as with every patch released for the game, there are a few things added there weren’t listed by the devs, which are listed in the Battlefield 2042 update 3.1.2 stealth changes list.
Battlefield 2042 Update 3.1.2 Stealth Changes List:
All stealth changes that community found out about:
- #1 The 12g Automatico has also been added to the BF1942 (which actually came with all the other datamined BF1942 Arsenal), noticed by u/Marse1009.
- #2 You can’t select any of the portal weapons (not sure if this counts as a stealth change but it’s sneaky and it is a change). [NEEDS FURTHER VERIFICATION]
- #3 I don’t seem to be able to change squads… Not sure if a patch change or a bug or what though… Two games in a row now and I can’t right click my name to change squad. Meh. – it appears that it’s buggy on PC and some can change it and some can’t. On consoles it seems like this option has been removed. (Tested by multiple users on PC and PS5 platforms)
= On Series X|S they changed it a few updates ago so you can only change squad when downed or in the redeployment screen and no longer when alive. So, the option to press X to change squad is only available when you select yourself in the squads and players menu when downed / redeploying.
- #4 New revive request symbol animation
- #5 New request pick up symbol animation
- #6 New issue: Game is sometimes crashing to desktop immediately after getting past loading splash screens. Happened three times tonight. Works with relaunch.
- #7 When you get a kill with 12g Automatic, the kill does not register to this weapon, it just shows [] on screen, where it should be [12g Automatic]. The same thing goes for defibulator kill in BF3, the kill log just shows [], which may hinder some people from unlocking certain portal weapon, if i remember correctly, a protal weapon requires 20 kills or revives with BF3 defibulator.
- #8 some players can’t use new Vault 1942 guns.
- #9 Is it me or the viewmodel for guns is different? – YES IT IS!
- #10 There was previously a bug where you couldnt do the tac reload on the m1 garand while playing as the 1942 faction. It seems fixed now
This seems to be a smaller list compared to previous stealth changes list, but if more are found, we’ll update the article.
Thanks, ANGRYlalocSOLDIE!
