All upcoming updates in the Battlefield 2042: 7.1.0 update

According to the patch, players will not face any downtime with the 7.0.1 hotfix update. However, they might need to restart the game to benefit from the changes. As promised, here are some changes players can expect to see in the long-awaited Battlefield 2042 update:

Log changes

  • Fixed a series of issues that resulted in the Avancys having a misaligned aim down sight state when using multiple weapon cosmetics with iron sights.
  • Fixed some issues where the AK-24 had a misaligned Iron Sight on a range of weapon cosmetics.
  • Fixed an issue where the Laser Sight Underbarrel Attachment icon would switch off when Aiming Down Sights.
  • Fixed an issue which resulted in the unlock criteria for the AK 5C and SCZ-3 being incorrectly displayed.
  • The crosshair will now be appropriately sized when using resolutions larger than 1080p. Previously, crosshairs, especially for shotguns, were too large when viewed on higher resolutions.
  • Fixed several spawning issues which resulted in the player deploying into some objects or geometry on Rush, Conquest and Breakthrough.
  • The MV-38 Condor and Mi-240 Super Hind will now be present within Breakthrough, as intended.
  • The Predator SRAW will now correctly display a dotted line indicator when Aiming Down Sights.
