Updating Battlefield 2042 and Battlefield V with EA anticheat

Hello all,

As part of our ongoing efforts to create a safe and fair experience for all players we're transitioning Battlefield™ 2042 over to EA anticheat in October 2023, and Battlefield™ V in April 2024.

When we transition over to EA anticheat you won't notice anything different when logging in and playing, but this transition will enable our teams to be better equipped to find and remove players that don't play fair.

Battlefield V - Summer Update

Hey folks,

Last week, we set in motion our plans to deploy the Summer Update for Battlefield V.

We recognise that there are more important conversations taking place in the world today, so you haven’t seen us publish promotional material around the update this week, similar to how we have in the past on Battlefield V.

We’re otherwise encouraging that we all take notice of what’s happening in the United States and other places around the world and ask how we can all do more, as we must do more.

Yesterday, we at EA committed ourselves to education and driving meaningful change through actions. This is a long-term commitment that you can read more about ...

Battlefield V - Update 6.6

Hi folks,

Our 6.6 Update combines the work that we’ve performed on Battlefield since our last update in March, seeing improvements and fixes developed originally for a 6.4 Update in April added to our most recent work on the game and is detailed below, in full.

In addition to a wave of balance changes made to improve the experience using and fighting against Vehicles, we’re introducing Twisted Steel to Outpost, starting a new wave of Weekly Missions with new rewards, and adding in all new Vehicle Body Dressings.

Akira Sakamoto and Steve Fisher are also joining the Elites roster when 6.6 goes live this week.

Our next update for Battlefield V is targeted for release in June, and delivers all new content for the game. You can read more about the future of Battlefield V ...

Hi everyone,

I hope you are all staying safe, staying home, and playing together on the battlefield. The last couple of weeks have been challenging for everyone but connecting with you in-game has been inspiring - and we’ve seen some mind-blowing community-created content. Thank you, I think we all needed that.

What’s Coming after Battlefield V Chapter 6

As you are aware, the current Battlefield V Chapter, ...

Battlefield V - Update 6.2

Hey folks,

Our big focus for Update 6.2 targets a revision of our existing weapon balancing, returning the base time to kill values of most weapons back to the experience found at the start of Chapter 5. At distance, we’ve improved the damage drop off to ensure that the pace remains satisfying, and modified our Recoil values to ensure that gun’s are both dangerous in combat, but harder to control.

Alongside these changes, we’re also pleased to finally bring Tank Customisation to the game. Customise your Tanks with new Paint Jobs, Turret and Chassis dressings. You’ll find new items available for purchase in Your Company, using Company Coin.

Below I’ve detailed all of the additional changes made to Battlefield V in this update, with changes being made to Solomon Islands and Wake Island, as well as improvements to Audio Prioritization.

See you on the Battlefield

Battlefield V - Update 6.0

Hi folks,

For our first update of the New Year, we’re bringing plenty of brand new content to Battlefield V, all of which will be available for you to unlock and play with this Thursday at the start of Chapter 6: Into the Jungle.

First, there’s a brand new map to play with - Solomon Islands. Deploy in this brand new Jungle environment that’s made by the original creators of Argonne Forest, and Operation Locker. Solomon Islands features plenty of intense choke points and deep flanking routes, all seamlessly connected by a winding river that runs throughout the length of the map.

We’re also adding new toys to the Battlefield Sandbox. Three new Weapons are available to Unlock -  the Type 11 LMG, the Model 37 Shotgun, and the M2 Carbine. There’s also 2 new gadgets to play with - the M1A1 Bazooka and the long awaited Lunge Mine.

For this chapter, all of these new Weapons and Gadgets will be available...

Watch your step. Expect the unexpected. Chapter 6: Into the Jungle will let you experience another side to the Pacific Theater. Into the Jungle launches with new Elites plus fresh additions to your arsenal on February 6, but you can play on the new map Solomon Islands on February 4.

Welcome back to the battlefield that started it all. Welcome back to Wake Island.

As Chapter 5: War in the Pacific continues, we’re now deploying our reimagination of what is arguably the most iconic Battlefield map ever. As you fight for control over land, air, and sea on this horseshoe-shaped classic, we hope you’ll enjoy both the nostalgia and the new improvements.
