Hello!

As we are well underway with our second day of Battlefield 2042 Season 7: Turning Point we wanted to touch upon a couple of Community Issues you're flagging to us!

We have resolved an issue that resulted in some of you being unable to matchmake into the Conquest 64 tile on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC.

We're seeing you engage on the Battlefield once more, and it should now be resolved.

We're aware that some of you are currently unable to progress the Season 7 Battle Pass, and at times are unable to spawn in with either the AK5C or SCZ-3. The team is actively investigating the root cause of this and we'll update you once we have resolved the issue.

There are over 140++ participants to choose from if you so please and the vast majority are Battlefield. Watch and support a creator for their personality and their community, and enjoy the moment while doing so.

Also, we've invited Squid G to the studio to stream live from DICE with the development team, for the fanbase 😉

RPG increase is not in this update and its something that we intend for within the next couple of updates. 

This initial balance/meta shift will be looked at before we then do those changes, including alterations to Irish' APS which we hope will resolve the instances of vehicles hiding behind an infantry protective gadget.

Loving the updates, team. I know the community spews toxicity like a fire hose. Just know that there's a ton of us who are really enjoying all the great work!

Ultimately we're wanting to do right by our players in as many ways that we're able to do so. I think we've consistently tried to do that for two and a half years+ now. We're glad that it's connecting with some of you, enjoy this season when it launches next week!

Reduced CQC damage for LMGs and ARs from 28 to 26, to reduce the occurrence of 2-headshot-kills. This affects SFAR-M GL, AK-24, LCMG, RPT-31, M60E4, M240B, AC-42, RM68, GEW-46, ACW-R

Nice, so this change is considerably better than I expected. Last post made it seem 2 shot HS was still possible at cqc.

Fixed instances of projectile inaccuracies when using the RPG-7V2 against fast moving vehicles.

I assume this means less dusting? If so, nice.

Damage reduced from 28 to 24 between 30 and 74 meters

Completely uncalled nerf for the MP28. It already wasn't that great of a gun, but now in my opinion the only reason to use it is now gone (4 hit kill up to 74m)

Yes, less instances of dusting for some rockets. Not entirely eradicated, but hopefully less. Let us know how it feels!

Wish they made that same uphill engine power change to the mav as well. The speed in general for the MAV is fine but my god you’re a sitting duck if you’re going up the slightest incline

Will fire the suggestion through!

Welcome to Season 7: Turning Point!

Season 7 brings the battle for Earth’s most valuable resource to the Atacama Desert in Chile. Aligned with a new enemy, the Thousand Petals Coalition, Eastern forces launch an assault on the desert mining town of El Alicanto, to seize control of a massive subterranean water reservoir vital to Western and US forces.

We truly cannot wait to see all of your clips and reactions to Haven when Season 7 arrives, and stay tuned in the future to learn more about what has changed with Stadium, arriving in a later season update.

See you on the Battlefield!

DEV NOTE: State of Vehicles for Season 7

Alongside the work that our Weapons Team is doing across weapons, we are also making changes to how Infantry and Vehicles interact with each other in Season 7: Turning Point!

We’re aware that Ground Vehicles currently face too many threats both from infantry and other vehicles, and due to this it automatically encourages defensive gameplay which takes place from a large distance.

It has always been our aim to encourage and empower vehicles so that they feel able to engage with objectives and be alongside their fellow infantry te...

DEV NOTE: State of Weapons for Season 7

Season 7 brings changes and improvements that will permeate across the whole weapon arsenal in different ways. Season 7 includes a shift in META balance between weapon categories and raising the lowest time-to-kill to a healthier level, to a revamp of the visual recoil system to liven up the shooting experience alongside many more balance improvements.
