YEAR OF THE DRAGON EVENT!
Year of the Dragon is almost upon us,
To celebrate this occasion, all players will be tasked with earning ribbons in order to unlock the “Harmonic Balance” Weapon Skin for the Super 500 as seen above. You’ll also be able to earn the “Curious Spirit” Weapon Charm as well as an additional XP Boost and Tier Skip reward to help you kickstart the year.
Some of these items are also a part of a new Store Bundle arriving with this event. Earnable items that are successfully unlocked also reduce the overall cost of this Store Bundle.
THE YEAR OF THE DRAGON EVENT BEGINS ON FEBRUARY 6TH!
CHANGELOG
Squad Spectator Modifier for Battlefield Portal
You will now have the ability to enable Squad Spectating within Battlefield Portal Custom Experiences. This will allow you to spectate your Squad Mates after dying before entering the deploy screen once more to redeploy similar to the experience within Hazard Zone.
As part of this update we will also be introducing the ability to disable the button on this Spectator screen which will prevent you from redeploying, allowing for Custom Experiences to feature “One-Life” or “Tactical Squad” modes while still allowing for spectating your immediate Squad.
AI, Soldier and General Improvements
Players will now see a Crossplay Status Indicator within the Main Menu if they currently have Crossplay as OFF.
We have extended the Personal Player color functionality to include more HUD Elements. You can set your own color, which will be visible to yourself, within the Options > HUD section.
Gadgets & Specialists
Fixed an issue where the head hitbox of a player mounted on Crawford's Vulcan could become misaligned.
Fixed an issue that could cause a player to not see a successful SOFLAM lock-on against vehicles.
The Penguins have applied extra glue to the C5 so they should now stick to vehicles with greater efficiency.
The APS-36 Shootdown Sentinel should no longer intercept Smoke Grenades.
Fixed an issue where if both an enemy and friendly fired Tracer Darts at the same vehicles, the “Target Acquired” prompt would sometimes be missing.
Fixed the "Target Acquired" prompt to sometimes be shown on destroyed vehicles.
Fixed the SG-36 Sentry Gun sometimes targeting destroyed vehicles.
Battlefield Portal
Added math blocks for common used tasks that we noticed players were performing a lot within Custom Experiences. There are now math blocks for the following items.
DegreesToRadians - Takes in an angle in degrees and outputs the same angle but expressed in radians
RadiansToDegrees - Takes in an angle in radians and outputs the same angle but expressed in degrees
Ceiling - Takes in a decimal number and outputs the value rounded upwards. i.e. 1.4 would be rounded up to 2.
Floor - Takes in a decimal number and outputs the value rounded downwards. i.e. 1.6 would be rounded down to 1.
Pi - Constant block that outputs the value of Pi for use in calculating circumferences and areas of a circle.
Weapons
Fixed an issue that could cause empty magazines in the SVK to still contain bullets visually.
Fixed an issue where the carry handle of the VHX-D3 sometimes didn't render correctly.
Fixed texturing issues on the P90 magazine.
Minor fixes to stats of certain low-magnification sights on the Collection Screen.
Fixed an issue that resulted in some high recoil, fast-firing weapons from gaining vertical recoil after the angle exceeded a certain value.
Fixed a discrepancy between the Collection Screen and ammo count ingame for the ACW-R extended magazine.
Fixed a clipping issue when using the PSO-1 Scope on the SCAR-H.
Corrected the pros and cons of the High-Power Magazine on the G428 in the Collection Screen.
Corrected the Rate of Fire stat for the AC-42 in the Collection Screen
Fixed the alignment of some scopes with the rail of the M416
Fixed the alignment of the ACOG Scope on the M60E4 LMG (BC2)
Vehicle Changes
Fixed a variety of issues related to interactions between Vehicle Systemic Damage and EMP. Including scenarios that result in a permanent vehicle disabled state after being EMP’ed.
The EBAA Wildcat now has access to Air Radar. The range of this can be altered via Air Radar settings within the options menu.
EMKV90-TOR Canister Coax can no longer be reloaded manually.
Fixed issues where the replenish icon and weapon replenishment were not correctly matched on Battlefield Portal vehicles.
Regular body damage to the MD540 Nightbird will no longer result in systemic failure. Players should target the avionics of the aircraft in order to disable it.
Fixed an issue where air vehicles would not take damage when colliding with skyscrapers on Hourglass.

Battlefield 2042
Battlefield 2042 is a video game developed by DICE and published by Electronic Arts. It came out on November 19, 2021, for various gaming platforms like PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. Unlike previous games in the series, this one focuses entirely on multiplayer action, leaving out a single-player campaign.
The game didn't do well in terms of reviews from both critics and players, facing criticism for technical problems, missing features, and alterations to the gameplay. Additionally, it fell short of meeting the sales expectations set by Electronic Arts.
In terms of setting, Battlefield 2042 takes place in the near future, offering players futuristic weapons, gadgets, and vehicles. The gameplay revolves around intense multiplayer battles featuring elements like Levolution from Battlefield 4 and extreme weather effects such as tornadoes and sandstorms.
Despite its initial challenges and criticisms, the game introduces new features like the "Plus" system for weapon customization on the fly and a revised class system where players control specialists with unique skills and gadgets.
Battlefield 2042 Gameplay
The gameplay of Battlefield 2042 centers around a fast-paced, multiplayer-focused first-person shooter experience. Players are immersed in a near-future setting with advanced weaponry, gadgets like deployable turrets and drones, and controllable vehicles. One notable feature is the ability for players to request vehicle air-drops to any location, adding strategic depth to the gameplay.
A significant change in the class system sets Battlefield 2042 apart, as it replaces the traditional four classes with specialists who fall into the classic roles of Assault, Engineer, Medic, and Recon. Each specialist can use any unlocked weapon or gadget, bringing flexibility to player choices.
The game offers three main gameplay modes. "All-Out Warfare" includes familiar modes like "Conquest" and "Breakthrough," with up to 128 players on next-gen platforms and 64 players on previous-gen platforms. "Battlefield Portal" empowers the community to create custom multiplayer modes using maps from previous Battlefield games.
Finally, "Hazard Zone" introduces cooperative multiplayer action, where teams compete to extract data drives from fallen satellites while contending with AI-controlled enemies. Battlefield 2042 aims to deliver a diverse and dynamic multiplayer experience with a range of maps, modes, and innovative gameplay elements.
