Battlefield 2042’s weapon attachments are under fire again because of their misleading, often confusing behaviour. If you’ve been playing Battlefield 2042 since its release in November last year, you’ll no doubt be keenly aware that one of the game’s problems has been inconsistent weapon attachment behaviour, which was a major factor in how poorly received its gunplay was. Some of these issues manifested in misleading attachment descriptions, where they would do the opposite of what is stated. Other cases saw certain attachments being ineffective in performing the function they’re supposed to. DICE eventually corrected a few of those mistakes in…

It’s been less than month since the release of Battlefield 2042, and the game has kicked off its first ever free trial. It’s been an unusually busy post-launch for Battlefield 2042.

There is currently no way in Battlefield 2042 to see how well you’re doing against the rest of the server, but there could be. DICE elected not to bring back a number of classic features when developing Battlefield 2042. One of those is the standard scoreboard, which typically shows your place amongst your team, as well as enemy players. Battlefield 2042’s version of that only really tracks your own performance, and offers general guidance on how the rest of the squads on your team are doing. There’s no way to benchmark your own performance against everyone else’s. Though the game…

Battlefield 2042’s proxi sensor is very useful by default, and even more so when you think outside the box. The proximity sensor in Battlefield 2042 has been the source of much easy XP farming, and the bane of stealthy players’ existence in equal measure. But now that DICE has nerfed it in today’s patch, players have been exploring more… creative uses. By default, the proximity sensor acts like a grenade. You throw it down, or up, and it lands and…
