Battlefield 2042 May Have Even More Fixes On The Way

By Otto Kratky on November 22, 2021 at 9:32AM PST Sign UpWhile Battlefield 2042 returns the franchise to its Battlefield 3 heyday with a modern setting and modern weapons, the game has also fallen victim to a number of bugs and technical issues. Thankfully, players won't have to deal with at least a few of those problems for much longer, as DICE is reportedly looking into them. A post from the fan-run Twitter account Battlefield Bulletin claims that DICE is currently tackling four issues that Battlefield 2042 players have reported. Those issues range from players rubber banding when they get hit by rockets from a jet or helicopter and missile relock not working to options for changing the transparency and size of various icons. However, the post doesn't detail when players can expect these issues to be fixed. Similarly, the Battlefield Direct Communication account, which is run by Battlefield developers and regularly posts when updates are coming out and what their contents will be, hasn't mentioned any of these issues yet. While Battlefield 2042 has had a rough launch, the game is slowly being fixed by developers DICE and Ripple Effect. One upcoming patch for the game will address issues with players failing to be revived and balancing problems with two of the game's vehicles as well as the UAV-1. For players, fixes for Battlefield 2042 are arriving far too late. The game has been panned on Steam, where it has a "mostly negative" aggregate score. At the moment, 33,000 of the game's 44,000 reviews are negative, with players citing bugs and a lack of features compared to past titles.

Battlefield 2042 Weekly Mission (Dec. 23-30): Deck Out Your M5C Bolte Battlefield 2042 puts you through your paces to get a nice new wrap for the Bolte. By Phil Hornshaw on December 23, 2021 at 11:23AM PST Comments GameSpot Newsletters Get the latest gaming news, reviews, and deals sent to your inbox, FREE! Sign UpThough Battlefield 2042 hasn't started its official first season yet, developer DICE has added at least one new live-game feature in the form of weekly challenges with cosmetic rewards. For the week of December 23, Battlefield 2042's Weekly Mission requires a mix of offensive gameplay and support work, earning you a new skin for the M5C Bolte vehicle. Here's what you need to know to complete the Weekly Mission, as well as some tips for knocking it out fast.

1. Earn 15 ribbons

2. 60 enemies killed or teammates revived

3. Resupply 40 teammates with ammo

To quickly make progress through this week's mission, you'll probably want to use either Angel or Falk. Both characters can revive any other teammates, not just squadmates, which means you'll be able to rack up lots of revives in addition to kills on enemy players and bots. While Falk revives players with more health, Angel is the better choice because of his Loadout Crate, which he can call in to resupply teammates--which should count toward the 40 you need to provide ammo. In this way, you can pushon multiple requirements at the same time. You'll also want to equip the Ammo Crate gear for your loadout, which will allow you to dump ammo on teammates much more frequently than if you just rely on Angel's ability. The extra ammo is great for Angel, but if you prefer to use another specialist while working on the Weekly Mission, the Ammo Crate is still a must for the resupply requirement. As for ribbons, these you should unlock organically as you play matches, but you'll earn them much more quickly if you play as an effective teammate and support other players. Reviving, healing and resupplying teammates, sticking to objectives, and spotting enemies all earn you ribbons, as does racking up kills--so be a team player and you should knock out this requirement quickly. Here's a rundown of the five ribbons in the game and what it takes to earn them:

• Objective: Play the objective

• Wingman: Revive teammates and earn assists

• Logistics: Heal and resupply teammates, repair vehicles

• Intel: Spot enemies and vehicles

• Combat: Kill enemies and destroy vehicles

What you'll earn Completing the weekly mission for December 23 gets you the Naval Diffuse skin for the M5C Bolte. You can check it out below.

Blue camo doesn't really work in the desert, but at least it looks cool.
