A repair to recoil compensation after guns were discharged for extended periods of time is at the top of the list of weapon adjustments coming on January 17, however, EA does not specify which particular weapons were impacted by this problem. Other gun adjustments include decreasing the damage to heavy and light vehicles by 50% and 25%, respectively, while using the Rorsch MK-4’s High Power Capacitor version, and raising the gun’s charge rate from 0.8 to 1 second. The MCS-880 shotgun’s damage at 20 yards or less has been increased, with the gun’s pellet damage rising from 8 to 15, putting it more in line with Battlefield 2042’s other close-range weapons.
Additionally, Electronic Arts said that Battlefield Portal would now include a couple of the player-favourite weaponry from the 1940s. The Battlefield Portal will include the M1 Garand Sniper rifle, MK VI Revolver, Gewehr 43 semi-automatic rifle, Gewehr 43 ZF4 sniper rifle, Lee-Enfield No. 4 rifle, and Sten submachine gun. For the first time, the Spearhead map from Battlefield 2042 will be accessible as an official template in Portal mode, enabling players to build team deathmatch variants, Free-for-all games, and Conquest Hardcore matches on the new map.
