Battlefield 2042 patch brings new scoreboard, aim assist fixes tomorrow

Battlefield 2042‘s long-awaited Update 3.3 is finally launching tomorrow, but don’t expect much beyond an updated scoreboard and fixes to aim assist.

A new blog post from DICE includes patch notes for Update 3.3, as well as a preview of the updated scoreboard, which now includes both kills and deaths per player per team.

As far as the rest of the patch is concerned, it’s pretty barebones. One of the main fixes is that DICE has “adjusted aim assist on console to ensure that the system is in effect when analog sticks are at 100 percent of their range. Previously, it was only active at ranges below 100 percent.” Hopefully, this will fix the main issue with aim assist, which is that it seemingly made it harder to actually keep your aim on the enemy, but we’ll have to test the patch tomorrow to see.

And that’s it as far as major changes are concerned. There are no notes on weapon balance changes or vehicle balance changes, and the only new content in the patch is the Steadfast Exclusive Legendary Bundle—cosmetics that DICE promised to those who purchased the Gold and Ultimate Editions of the game following Season 1’s delay into early summer.

Following last week’s reveal that DICE is reworking Battlefield 2042‘s existing maps (and possibly removing 128-player Breakthrough), it’s unclear exactly what other changes will come to the game between now and early summer, if any. Previous statements have indicated that problem areas include the lack of voice communication, the game’s current reward loop, and the lack of squad play.
