With Season 5 approaching Battlefield 2042, EA and DICE are ready to show off some of the quality-of-life updates they have in store for the update. The focus for the updates around the new season is the restructuring of Vehicle Loadouts. Here are the details:
Explosives & Vehicle Roles - Vehicle loadouts will be restructured to ensure combat roles are once again clearly defined, adding readability on the battlefield.
Loadouts - Loadout restructuring will improve the overall balance of vehicle offerings. Weapons will be removed, with new ones added to each available loadout; explosives will no longer be an option for all vehicles.
Thermal Sights for Vehicles - Players will be able to choose between using their thermals or optical zoom on some of the vehicle weapon stations.
Jet Gameplay Improvements - Payers can soon feel more connected to their jet, allowing them to be more responsive and controllable when dogfighting.
Other Changes - Tanks will receive the decouple aim from turning option, allowing players to turn tanks without moving their aim; STAFF Shell for tanks will no longer lock to enemy ground vehicles on their own - they’ll lock into laser-designated targets to deal extra damage.

Despite having a rough beginning, they are claiming that Battlefield 2042 is practically a whole new game now that they are reaching Season 5 and provided numerous quality-of-life updates. If you still have this game and haven’t played it in some time, then it might be worth redownloading and trying it out again.
Battlefield 2042 is available now on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC via Steam. It is also available via Xbox Game Pass, PC Game Pass, and EA Play.
