What does the Battlefield 2042 4.0 update include?
As is usually the case with multiplayer games, in Battlefield 2042, players are turning to apps like Discord as one of the easier ways to communicate with each other. The trend that attracted the attention of DICE afterward was a game changer. Voice Chat It was announced in the first weeks of its release that it will be added.
With the Battlefield 2042 4.0 update, this promise has been fulfilled. Players can now communicate with their teammates in their Squads via voice over the game. In addition, the Scoreboard, which came with the 3.3 update, can now be seen at the end of the game.
The rocket launcher of the M5C Bolte vehicle, which we mentioned in the preview of the update recently, has been weakened and can now be fired more easily by non-vehicle players. There is a reduction in the number of vehicles in the improvements that stand out on the map. Sundace, Paik and Rao come up with detailed bug fixes and improvements.
One of the problems that occurred with the update and is expected to be fixed in a short time is the blue screen problem that comes and goes in the menus and during the game. It is especially dangerous for people with epilepsy.
