Returning Time-limited event: Battle of Nordvik

Join the Nordvik Control Corps or the Black Storm regiment in the three-week power struggle that marks a turning point in the global conflict between two superpowers.

Secure Boot

With Update 8.8.0 on Battlefield 2042, we will be requiring that Secure Boot is enabled for PC hardware that can support it, in order to provide you with a higher standard of trust and safety whilst you play select EA titles. As cheat developers keep evolving their tactics, we're stepping up our game too. To keep Battlefield 2042 fair and fun for everyone, we're strengthening our defenses—especially against cheats that try to sneak in during the Windows boot process. This move supports our Positive Play commitment and helps ensure a level playing field for all players. If you attempt to load the game following Update 8.8.0 without Secure Boot enabled, but are on a piece of hardware that supports it, you will be prompted with a message stating that Secure Boot is required. Secure Boot is a feature that is available for Windows 11 and Windows 10 devices, and you’re able to learn more about how to enable this functionality via our EA Help article here.

Changelog

Maps:

Fixed some unnaturally large pits/crevices on the terrain on Orbital.

Fixed an invisible zipline cable on Spearhead's Conquest gamemode.

Vehicles:

Fixed a bug where some vehicles would be incorrectly marked as unavailable in some Breakthrough sectors.

Weapons:

Fixed a bug where the Subsonic magazine would not be visible when using an underbarrel grenade launcher on the DM7.

Fixed an issue on the Battlefield 3 SPAS-12 in Portal where the fire rate was faster than intended if using semi-auto mode. It should now be capped to the weapon's maximum rate of fire, 150/120/100, depending on ammo type.

Fixed an issue on the AN-94 where the rail was not visible when you had a grip equipped.

Fixed an issue where the attachments would be positioned incorrectly on the weapon icon for the GVT 45-70.

Characters & Gadgets:

Following player feedback, we're bringing back the EMP ability to Casper's Recon Drone, but with some changes to improve its balance.

Developer Note: The EMP was removed previously as part of a larger change to clean up gameplay and increase readability between infantry and vehicles. With this update, we are bringing back the EMP; however, it will only be able to interact with and destroy enemy gadgets and equipment. The ability is not designed to interact with vehicles.

Progression:

Codex Update: Added new lore content.

Quest requirements for weapon customizations are now easier to read.

Fixed a bug where the SOFLAM gadget was missing from the statistics page of your profile.

AI:

Reduced AI soldiers' accuracy when firing rocket launchers against airborne targets. You now have a higher chance of avoiding getting sniped with rockets if you keep on moving around with your air vehicles.

Modes:

Killswitch Remix

Fixed a bug where the objective capture UI would not be visible in the Killswitch Remix gamemode.

Gameplay Flow & Social:

Fixed a bug that shows the wrong specialist when interacting with a locked specialist in the menus.

Fixed a bug where friends would show up twice if they were online on multiple platforms simultaneously..

And that’s a wrap for this Update Note, but as one final reminder - hold the objective, deplete the enemy score, and win! This announcement may change as we listen to community feedback and continue developing and evolving our Live Service & Content. We will always strive to keep our community as informed as possible.
