I got the game on a big sale because I heard the game is getting better after updates. I've never played any bf game b4. So far, I had 14h in bf2042 I'm struggling. I have a hard time doing longshots, and controlling recoil, so I often die. There are a couple of games where my K/D was positive. How long usually does it take me to get used to the game? What weapons do not have strong recoil that is not locked behind the paywall?

Hello!

It'll be a tricky thing to combat but as with everything, the more you play and experiment with weapons the easier it'll become for you to find the weapon that fits your playstyle.

The M5A3 is a good all-rounder with suitable recoil for midrange combat scenarios, and if you use it in a burst/tap scenario you could also control it for slightly longer range kills.

As you use particular weapons, attachments open up for those weapons allowing you to finetune it to how you'd like to use things too.

Ultimately though, perseverance is what will win the day for you. If this is your first Battlefield it may take time.

But remember, getting kills and low deaths isn't the way to win in Battlefield. Team work makes the wins work, and providing your team with ammo, revives, health, spotting enemies, taking out enemy vehicles and aircraft and capturing objectives will ultimately move you up the scoreboard and provide wins far more reliably than just killing!

Goodluck out there.
