What to Expect in Battlefield 2042 Update 5.1.0

Hey gamers! Grab an energy drink because we have some exciting news for you! It's all about our beloved Battlefield 2042. The team behind the game has just revealed details about the long-awaited Update 5.1.0, which will be rolled out on all platforms next week.

Season 5: New Dawn has already thrilled us, and now the next big event is just around the corner - the Arkangel Legion will rise in July! Expect new cosmetic rewards to earn and get ready to take control.

Improvements and Changes in Detail

Weapon Attachments for Vault Weapons

After the GOL Sniper Magnum was already expanded with weapon attachments, the Marksman Rifle vault weapons will now also receive this support - specifically the M39 EMR and the SVD.

Improvements to Squad Spawning

You've probably experienced this before: you spawn on a vehicle and are immediately thrown into the crossfire. To avoid such situations, there will now be a prompt for "Low Vehicle Health" when you try to spawn on vehicles from the deployment screen.

Change Log

  • Audio: Numerous issues have been resolved and improvements have been made.
  • General & Gameplay Improvements: Stuttering during free fall is a thing of the past, and a preview feature for the minimap orientation has been added.
  • Battlefield Portal: An issue with default weapon attachments in the restriction tab has been fixed.
  • Maps: Additional cover options have been added to the Reclamation map.
  • Modes: Hazard Zone has received a number of changes to improve gameplay.
  • Vehicles: Various issues with vehicle tracks and certain cannons have been fixed.
