I love that gun

When my friend first told me it was good, I thought "yeah, but he also likes the K30 and I suck at close range."

But then I actually tried it, and you literally just run around hip-firing with the burst-fire and effortlessly killing guys without even needing to aim well. It's very silly.

BF1 air in operations was miserable to fight against until they made it that you could repair the AA guns.

Even with coordinated small arms fire because you would just get trench darted endlessly.

Checking this out again for the first time after the class change and having a really good time. It's still not an amazing bf game but it feels like it's in a pretty good place right now.

i would say going for headshots in situations it makes sense matters. headshots are very rewarding in bf

it's just that the headshot stat never matters in any game and there are lots of situations intentionally not headshotting is good.

I have close to 1200 kills with the lever action GVT 45-70. HS rate is a tad over 60% -- just so crucial to nail those, and it's a 1-hit kill from any range, even with suppressor. I think -- it's actually been a while since I even picked it up.

Does Rao's hacking ability also target vehicles like they were hit with a tracking dart? I noticed vehicles that I hack get the yellow box but I'm not sure if that means the same as the yellow box that indicates I've stuck a dart to a vehicle. Just wondering if there's any point in hacking then sticking a vehicle with a dart or if I can just hack to save time and not bring a tracking dart. Also this is the first time playing since they've added the dart to 2042, do missiles locked onto the dart track through countermeasures? It's been a while since playing bad co. but I could've sworn they did which is why I loved using them so much.

I don't use darts (seems nobody on my team knows how to take advantage of them, they wear off pretty quickly, too), so I don't really know. But in BF BC2, a heli launching smoke countermeasure definitely disabled the dart. A quick look at reddit suggests that this is the same in 2042.

Tracer dart only has a use if a stealth heli is being a pain and you have a friend who knows you are using the tracer dart. It's the only thing that lets you lock onto a stealth heli when it is in stealth mode.

If you are coordinating with people, it seems you can use the dart on infantry or clumps of infantry and javelin them. So that sounds fun at least.

Gotcha, thanks. I never knew the countermeasures removed the dart. Might be good to mess around with when squadding with friends but otherwise seems situational.

Why are vehicles so gimped in this? I'm certain that players have a higher ttk when taking fire from tanks and light armor than from my AR. And why does one of the attack choppers just seemingly start out with no weapons at all?

Because you're invulnerable to 97% of weapons in the game, and those that can hurt you require multiple hits to kill you.

Since I’ve been solo queuing I’ve been having fun with the SOFLAM. As most flying things instantly pop smoke the moment I look at them at my rank. Also why the stealth helicopter seems rare at my rank.

I just had a match where I jumped on a building planned on putting out a spawn when I saw the enemy transport falling from the sky empty. I jumped after and it only took half damage in the fall.’ I got some flying and people deployed before crashing trying to avoid multiple locks between buildings . A dude uselessly shot below me when I first stole it. He must have been so pissed.

I always loved the SOFLAM for this exact reason, with the occasional bonus of making an inexperienced pilot panic so hard they immediately crash. Still haven't unlocked it in 2042 yet though :(

I know it’s not the same, but the flying drone is still fun for spotting and you can annoy ground vehicles with it. It’s fun spotting from the air and seeing teammates shoot guys you spot. It sometimes feels a little like an strategy game like command and conquer. And how close those some of those games nail it, with listening to multiple burst fires from the distance and how some of your dudes just go prone and such regardless of where they are

Blasco's weird little cosmic key device can block spotting up and down through floors, slapping it down when there's a gunfight above or below you is a gold mine.

I keep having this glitch where I lose all control, if I'm moving I'll just keep moving in that direction, if not I just stand still. Lasts for like 10 seconds and happens a couple times a match. No solid answers as to the cause, one person said it was their usb DAC but I don't have one of those. I have been using my usb connected studio monitors though, and I'm wondering if it happened the first couple sessions I tried using my headset. Need to go back and try that again.

I'm still figuring out the scoring as well. Back in 3 & 4, I'd always be at least top 5 on my team if not the match, from capping flags and a healthy amount of kills as well. I haven't been as effective in this so far but it's weird being down in the bottom half of the scoreboard.

subsonic ammo with a heavy barrel is insanely good, it extends your reach for snipers and nobody ever knows where you're shooting from

I'll definitely try that out, sounds op.


This is good news, definitely one of the worst maps currently. Also I just realized is there no maps with water traversal? Was V like that as well I forgot? 1943 maps that had water traversal were so great, gave the battlefield way more routes/strategies.

Btw for the first time I had a lot of technical issues with this game. I changed my motherboard and upgraded to Windows 11. The game wouldn't launch half the time and then around 3mins into the game it would crash citing Dx11 error. Managed to fix it by updating the bios.

Reworked Discarded map is out. Positive changes for the most part. I actually liked the old Breakthrough, but it was just such a slog between the sectors. This is much more urban-like and in general not as spread out.

The weekly mission is very engineer-focused so all vehicles are getting poo poo on. You love to see it, especially the tank lords crying in chat.

Dont really know if l like the uniform soldier aiming, doesnt seem beneficial as a M&K player and its just thrown me off slightly. Is it worth sticking out to get used to for "better muscle memory" as they describe or is it primarily beneficial to controller players?

Also Discarded does feel improved so thats nice. Disappointed to see Exodus gone tho.

Yup, it sucks. Played 5 rounds to unlock the weekly bonus and that's it.

For some reason, the more players you have the more sheeple they become. 3 rounds in a row, the majority of my team hung out at 1 point and predictably lost hard. It is pretty frustrating to see this type of idiocy over and over again after all this time.
