This week is poised to be a big one for Battlefield 2042. The game’s very late first season of post-launch content is finally close, and we’re going to be taking our first look at it today. DICE is debuting a gameplay trailer for S1: Zero Hour today at 8am PT, 11am ET, 4pm UK.
That’s not all, there’s also a big new update that released earlier this morning on all platforms. Update 1.0.0 includes a few balance tweaks and quality of life improvements.
The patch adds smoother soldier animations that match those found on more recent Battlefield games, and does away with the clunky-looking third-person character animations seen all over Battlefield 2042. Bullet and hit registration is another major item addressed by this patch, and this comes alongside a balance pass for LMGs, DMRs, and shotguns.
