“Update #3.1 is our last game update before the start of the holidays,” the official EA blog post reads. “That means our team will take a break towards the end of this month and return in the new year with fresh eyes ready to go on the road to Season One. We’ll see you again in the new year where we’ll talk more on further changes and improvements you can expect in Battlefield 2042.”

EA’s blog post highlights seven key changes that the update brings to the game:

  • Improvements to bullets hit registration consistency.
  • Balance changes for bullet dispersion and recoil.
  • Further balance changes to Ground Vehicle 30mm, 40mm, and 57mm Cannons to reduce their effectiveness against infantry.
  • A fix for a rare bug where a player could appear invisible to enemies.
  • Fixes for several bugs related to Grenades and Launchers.
  • Improvements to the menu flow for Xbox players to make it easier to opt-out of Cross-Play.
  • Multiple audio improvements to enhance your overall sound experience, focused on clarity, distance, and directional perception.
