DICE has rolled out Battlefield 2042 update 1.19, and this is for what DICE calls Update 2.1! This brings the reworked version of Renewal, alongside a new vehicle, weapons and loads more! Read on for the official BF2042 September 27 patch notes below.

Size: 4.4GB (PlayStation), 6.4GB (Steam)

Here’s an overview of some of the key changes and improvements that are included in this Update:

Vehicles – 60mm Flak Weapon Pod The 60mm Flak Weapon Pod was underperforming against air vehicles so we have increased its effectiveness. Alongside that change we have also reduced its damage toward infantry to further solidify its purpose.

AH-64GX Apache Warchief and KA-520 Super Hokum We have observed that Stealth Helicopters have become the dominant Air Vehicle of choice since their introduction in Season 1. In Update 2.1, we are making several balance adjustments to the AH-64GX Apache Warchief and KA-520 Super Hokum to ensure all Helicopters have a dedicated purpose on the Battlefield. As a result, we’re increasing their anti-vehicle effectiveness.

MD540 Nightbird – Mounted 7.62mm Miniguns We are updating the miniguns to ensure they remain powerful when actively managed, while reducing their effectiveness during continuous fire.

MV38-Condor / Mi-240 Super Hind – 7.62mm Minigun Pod We have observed the Transport Helicopter 7.62mm Minigun Pod was mainly used for long range combat. We are making several balance adjustments to ensure its focus remains on intended defensive and close range use. It’s now more accurate, but with an overall decreased damage output and range while also overheating faster.

Alongside the new patch, DICE announced a new in-game event is pushing out this mid-October!

A special event is coming your way during mid-October. We’re looking forward to sharing full details with you at a later time. But for now… expect new earnable cosmetics alongside infantry only gameplay with tight playspaces and intense close-quarters combat.
