Electronic Arts has revealed the latest Battlefield 2042 update 7.0.1, aiming to address player feedback and tackle issues that emerged post the 7.0.0 release. This update, set to roll out on April 2, is a minor one and will not require any downtime.

Battlefield 2042 is a popular first-person shooter game developed by DICE and published by Electronic Arts. It immerses players in a near-future world devastated by climate crises, offering intense multiplayer battles accommodating up to 128 players on next-gen consoles and PC. The game features dynamic warfare in various terrains like cities, deserts, and icy landscapes, with a wide range of futuristic weapons, vehicles, and gadgets. Emphasizing teamwork, Battlefield 2042 provides diverse game modes including Conquest and Breakthrough.

The 7.0.1 update for Battlefield 2042 brings significant fixes and enhancements. Following Season 7's launch, EA released this quick update to address issues like misaligned aim-down-sight states for weapons such as Avancys and AK-24 with certain weapon cosmetics. It also resolves problems related to the Laser Sight Underbarrel Attachment icon and incorrect weapon unlock criteria display. Additionally, it adjusts crosshair sizes for resolutions beyond 1080p for better scaling.

Spawn problems that caused players to appear within objects or terrain on Rush, Conquest, and Breakthrough have been rectified. The update ensures proper presence of vehicles like MV-38 Condor and Mi-240 Super Hind in Breakthrough mode. Visual indicators have been fixed, ensuring accurate display when aiming down sights with the Predator SRAW.

Notably, the update does not address the spinning weapon glitch in Battlefield 2042. Developers acknowledged the community's feedback and patience, especially regarding recent Weapon Recoil adjustments. More balancing improvements are in progress, with many expected in the upcoming 7.1.0 update on April 2. EA confirms no downtime for this update, although a game restart may be necessary to apply the changes.

While past seasons introduced new maps to counter the game's content criticisms, Season 7's announcement of two maps generated buzz. However, some fans were disappointed to learn that Stadium, one of the new maps, is essentially a section of the existing Hourglass map. This sparked debates among Battlefield 2042 players, highlighting discussions on map variety and post-launch content strategies.
