Battlefield 2042 Update 3.2.1 Will be Release Next Week Full Patch Notes

DICE has just announced that the next Update for Battlefield 2042 will be released next week and the team working on Battlefield has released the complete changelog for update 3.2.1.

According to the released patch notes, the new patch will include a set of balance tuning for weapons, gadgets, and specialists. Also, Unlock Descriptions will show correctly for Class Badges on the reward screen after a match is complete.

It is also worth mentioning that DICE in update 3.2 has reduced the ADS time for the Drum and Extended Magazines. But also in the new update, the team will be changing that back in this update. And as normal Steam and Origin will begin the update as soon as it is released.

Weapons

As part of the recent Update 3.2, we reduced the ADS time for Drum and Extended Magazines. We’re reverting that change in this update.

Your feedback to change these attachments suggested having slower reload times or less overall ammo due to the reduced magazine count. These are very valid areas to look at, however, we believe those two would not compensate for the greater increase in combat uptime that these attachments give you.

With a shorter magazine, you have to pick your fights while weaving in and out of combat against multiple enemies, prioritizing targets based on awareness or proximity. With larger magazines, such as the case with Drum and Extended Magazines, this overhead disappears as you have the luxury of less reloading and more ammo availability.

It’s very important for us to act upon your feedback, and we’ll continue to make adjustments for Drum and Extended Magazines in a later update.

Drum and Extended Magazines 

• ADS draw rate has been reverted to pre-update 3.2 values. You’ll now notice that the draw rate is more immediate and less weighted than before.

MTAR-21

• Adjusted the recoil of the MTAR-21 to be in line with other Assault Rifle weaponry.
• MTAR-21 damage increased up to 40m from 18 -> 22

PP-2000

• PP-2000 damage increased up to 50m from 22 -> 28
