It's Scope Glint, at a certain zoom distance on weapons the scope will glint in order to telegraph back to you that the dude is hardscoped and likely aimed at you. It's also to help indicate wh ere a sniper may be nestled because without it, you'd be looking around frantically trying to figure out where the shots are from.

Also, I had a nostalgic trip around Gizmo from Gremlins here - so thanks for that. BRIGHT LIGHTS.

As we get closer to the reveal of Season 7 for Battlefield 2042, we wanted to begin touching upon some key gameplay changes set to take place!

First up is Weapon Recoil, take a look below to see how Assault Rifles, SMGs and LMGs will be feeling different in the upcoming Season.

With Season 7, we wanted weapons to feel more unique and powerful when it comes to firing them, as such we have made changes to how visual recoil is handled within the game and tuned them to the vision for each weapon.

Similar to the work that had taken place with Season 5 and Camera Sprint Motion, these changes will be more subtle to some of you while being more apparent to others.

It's an effort to create a more vivid firing experience, which will provide more visual emphasis on the weight and power of a weapon as you fire whilst aiming down sights.

Going forward we hope these changes will now provide distinct character to each weapon's gameplay and visual ex...

I once advocated for a driveable vehicle that had the exterior of a shipping container but opened up to reveal it to be housing a missile battery.

Should've happened. Shipping containers ftw.

We have now activated the Unlock Requirements for Hardware such as the Medical Pouch if you missed out on obtaining them as part of Season 6 on Battlefield 2042,

These requirements are now visible within the Collections Screen.

Additionally, we are aware that one requirement - for the Medical Pouch is listing incorrect text.

Replenishing the Health of Squadmates will contribute towards this unlock.

This unlock text will be resolved in Update 6.4, which is scheduled to arrive on February 28th. Stay tuned later this week for our Update Notes...

Hello there!
We've just pushed out an update that has restored them to the Web Builder.

Thanks for your patience!

I really appreciate the warmth and constructive feedback here folks, and the fact that no one has requested me to go on another podcast. Today has been a good day in both senses! :D

Just checking in here, how often would you say you're receiving a dusting moment when using the RPG? Was this in the same match?

Comment

Hey, could I have some footage or an image of this, and potentially any insight into your current color settings?

Just a note to say I've passed this onto the team and we're looking into it. We'll get it sorted if that is indeed the case!

PS: Lovely shot!

We've been making backend changes like this for some time now. Over the past year and a half, we've been communicating more about them though as we continue to build transparency via BattlefieldComm

It's also part of a wider effort to enable the ability to make changes like these via the backend, online. We call them "Tweakables" internally, and throughout many updates, we have been enabling the ability to alter balance for Vehicles, Gadgets, Weapons, etc outside of a Client Update.

We ultimately want to be able to react faster to feedback and data that we'r...

VHX-D3 Changes:

  • Dispersion will now increase faster as more consecutive shots are fired, while also decreasing faster once firing has ceased. Burst Fire is now more effective than Full Auto.

VHX nerf when?

Aiming for that to take place next week too, though this will be outside of the 6.3 Update. Keep your eyes peeled on @BattlefieldComm for when the team checks it in.

It's there to encourage Custom Experiences that may have more of a slant towards Squad Based gameplay, Only One Life or Tactical Scenarios.
We'll be keeping an eye on those experiences to see - like previous Custom Experiences - if there are ones for the Community Spotlight.

Keep the feedback coming regarding its usage in All Out Warfare.
