DICE issued a large new Battlefield 2042 update two days ago, which included a significant number of adjustments to the PC version of the game as well as the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S, and Xbox Series X versions of the game. Since then, a user on Reddit has found not one, not two, but 64 “hidden” modifications that were added to the game, and the numbers are growing. Although the patch notes for the release were large, it seems that they did not include all of the relevant information. Even if most of these modifications aren’t very remarkable, the fact that they weren’t incorporated is strange. At the very least, it would be strange if something like this didn’t happen with virtually every release.

You will be able to see each and every alteration that has been found up to this point below. If any shifts are found, we will make careful to update the narrative to reflect such shifts as soon as we find them.
However, it is important to note that not all of these alterations have been validated, and none of these have been verified by DICE or EA or anybody affiliated with either side. Neither of these companies has confirmed any of these alterations.
Changes
Here are some of the changes noticed on Reddit:
- When a teammate hopped inside a tank, a green circle appeared. The round concludes with everyone being halted in the place they were in before the round began. Incapable of relocating in a certain direction
