Battlefield 2042 New Update on Sept. 9 Drops for 1.000.078/1.75
DICE has released a hotfix for Battlefield 2042 on all platforms on September 9, and this mostly deals with weapon issues, makes the Phantom Easter egg a bit harder, and makes the Battle Pass grind a whole lot easier — if you’re willing to pay.
Players on consoles will see this as Battlefield 2042 update 1.000.078/1.75, which is for PC version 9.2.1. This should be a small download across all platforms and does not include any platform-specific fixes.
Battlefield 2042’s Latest Patch Fixes Weapon, Gadgets Issues and More via Update 1.000.078/1.75
Phantom
- The Penguins have seen individuals brute-forcing into the Phantom Project and have added additional defenses to ensure the reward is for Operatives who are fully deserving of the loot that awaits.
Weapons & Gadgets
- Fixed an issue on the Lynx where extended magazine reload was slower than intended. The reload animation is now faster, making it look less like slow motion and more like just motion.
- Fixed an issue with the Lynx’s recoil and camera motion.
- Fixed an issue where the accuracy is lower than intended when standing still for the Lynx.
- Balance pass with SWS-10 and Armor Piercing Rounds and the Masterkey.
- Fixed an issue where multiple Underbarrel Shotgun Attachments on Vault Weapons were not tracking progress towards quests that require you to get kills with underbarrel shotguns. For example, the unlock quest for the AK5C.
- Fixed an issue where the SOFLAM and Tracer Dart interaction with a vehicle would not show “Target Acquired” messaging.
Maps & Modes
- Renewal has been returned to the Team Deathmatch playlist offering.
Playercards
- Fixed an issue where the names of Playercard Backgrounds ‘Always Check Your Rear’ and ‘Teamwork Makes the Dream Work’ were accidentally swapped.
Weekly Missions & Progression
- Fixed an issue where some weekly missions about doing actions with Vault Weapons would not track with the M1 Garand in All Out Warfare.
- Tier Skip functionality is now active on the Road to Battlefield 6 Pass.
As you can see from the changelog, Tier Skips are being introduced, so players can literally just buy their way into the Battle Pass’ rewards that include a bunch of stuff for Battlefield 6. Truth be told, I’m tempted to do that myself, so I won’t have to grind for it at all. No word yet on how much these Tier Skips will be, but given the amount of BF6 rewards in the Battle Pass, it won’t be cheap if you want to skip playing BF2042 entirely.
In other Battlefield 6 news, footage of one of its launch maps, New Sobek City, has surfaced, showing us a good look at its layout.
