DICE has today released a new patch for Battlefield 2042, available as part of the game's Season 1: Zero Hour, which went live in June. Update 1.2 brings with it a range of balance changes, bug fixes, and quality-of-life improvements, making vehicles “more fair” and revamping the art direction for some Specialists.

The update also introduces a new Player Profile and Statistics page, offering an overview of your performance and progression since the game's November 2021 launch. “Update 1.2 serves as a continuation of the team’s commitment to listening to community feedback and working towards the Battlefield experience players have come to know and love,” EA commented.

Next up on the schedule will be the release of Battlefield 2042 Season 2, due to drop in late August. Until then, here are some of the changes and additions available today via Update 1.2:

  • Kaleidoscope has been reworked to offer an improved gameplay flow through new cover assets, flag positions, terrain elevations and visual updates to several locations on the map
  • We are introducing the first Style and Tone change for our Specialists, which includes several updated character models
  • The power of the RAH-68 Huron and YG-99 Hannibal 30mm Cannon has been reduced by making it overheat at a much faster rate. This will help to limit their impact on infantry and bring it more inline with our balance
  • A Player Profile and Statistics page is now available in-game. It provides an overview of your performance and progression since launch
  • Aim Assist on Controllers has been adjusted to ensure it feels smoother and more consistent while tracking moving targets
  • The BSV-M Full Auto mode now receives an accuracy penalty, and High Power rounds now lose damage faster over distance

Battlefield 2042 Update 1.2 is now available, and you can consult the full patch notes here. DICE will be sharing more about the upcoming Season 2 soon, ahead of its scheduled late-August roll out.
