Battlefield 2042 Kaleidoscope And Specialist Reworks Coming August 2: Full Patch Notes
After months of gathering fan feedback, the first of Battlefield 2042's map reworks, as well as visual reworks for the game's Specialists, will go live on August 2 as part of the game's update 1.2.
The rework of Kaleidoscope headlines the update. In response to fan feedback, DICE has added new cover throughout the map while also raising the terrain in certain areas to break sightlines. The new and improved Kaleidoscope also sports new objective locations and points of interest, such as a forward operating base in the park and a command post added near the map's central tower. DICE states in the official patch notes that in addition to new map areas and added cover, parts of the map have also been updated to have a more «war-torn look» that is «more faithful to 2042's setting.»
Updating Battlefield 2042's visuals to more properly align with fans' expectations of what a world at war might look like also applies to the game's Specialists, which are receiving «style and tone» visual updates as part of update 1.2. The new Specialists character models look far more serious than before, with DICE stating they now «better reflect the intense situations they have experienced.»
For players eager to see more information about their in-game performance, the update will add a Player Profile page, where players can easily see their rank, masteries, unlocks, as well as a Statistics page, where players will find detailed stats such as their kill-death ratio, accuracy, matches played, and more.
Other notable changes include improvements to aim assist on controllers, nerfs to the RAH-68 Huron and YG-99 Hannibal 30mm cannons so that they have a more limited impact on infantry, tweaks to various Specialist abilities, and numerous bug fixes.
