battlefield-2042

[fading jay]

Even with bots i cnat get 5, i suck

[opal scaffold]

idk

[smoky sinew]

m416 has it unlocked from the go

[final helm]

underbarrel shotguns are mostly disabled iirc

[mossy cedar]

take a sniper go all the way back fo the map and try it multimple times, you will get it done

[mossy cedar]

bc of the bug? damn

[smoky sinew]

and btw, its actually insanely good

[opal scaffold]

the shotgun or m416

[smoky sinew]

but its only on the m416 and the m16a4

[smoky sinew]

the shotty, although the gun is fine too

the shotty has insane 1hk range

[opal scaffold]

yea it does massive dmg

[hollow flower]

are underbarrel shotguns disbabled rn?

[opal scaffold]

m16 is in general a better gun

[opal scaffold]

only masterkey

cuz a bug related to sws

[smoky sinew]

the masterkey is, yes, but the m26 mass is still available on vault guns

[hollow flower]

which guns have one?

[mossy cedar]

m417, m16

plenty more I think

[opal scaffold]

g3 in portal

i think only these 3

[mossy cedar]

and yeah just tried, base AI does count towards pass and XP, but not towards weeklies

smoke revive didn't count

[opal scaffold]

welp

oh well weekly anit that hard which is fine ig

[mossy cedar]

yeah true

[smoky sinew]

btw i still have no idea abt this

its at 60/60 kills and nothing

[opal scaffold]

did a restart change anything

[smoky sinew]

didnt try yet, lemme see

[fading jay]

How do I unlock certain guns when jt says to get kills using it but how?

[smoky sinew]

jt?

who's jt? lmao

[opal scaffold]

all the unlock are kinda intertwined, u just gotta look what each one of them require

[radiant pier]

it gives u 2 options, the gun itself from portal or another gun u can unlock/use like that

[smoky sinew]

yeah for example the scorpion requires kills with the ac9

and the ac9 requires kills with the dm7

[fading jay]

I gotta get 5 headshits can I use a sniper?

[smoky sinew]

ok this worked thanks lol

[opal scaffold]

lol

[smoky sinew]

which weapon are you talking about btw? just for me to check

[opal scaffold]

sometimes a restart just does wonder

[fading jay]

VHX D3

[smoky sinew]

yeah its any gun, just get 5 headshot kills in 1 life

[fading jay]

Ffs i get stuck at 4

I wish it was 30 headshots in a match, i feel making it in a life is hard as hell

[smoky sinew]

you can do all these challenges against bots btw

[fading jay]

I am mate, im just not good

[smoky sinew]

try doing it with a full auto gun and spray at head level, youll get it eventually

[smoky sinew]

you can do it man dw :)

[fading jay]

Yeah I got the sfar now

[opal scaffold]

that's honestly

as good as assault goes

sfar is basically the best gun in assault

[fading jay]

Its my most upgraded gun

I jus need extended mag

Well the drum and supresso4

[opal scaffold]

yea the high power drum is the only one u should rly be using

[fading jay]

4 again, damn shotgun

[opal scaffold]

btw, only use wrapped

pls don't use 6ku

[fading jay]

Need 150 more kulls

[opal scaffold]

if u don't have wrapped just don't use suppressor

[fading jay]

I have nobe

None

[opal scaffold]

ok

well just remember only wrapped suppressor is the only suppressor worth using on most guns

[green breach]

How people coming along with the free BF6 cosmetics pass?

[arctic grove]

the grind is just out of touch with reality but the rewards look nice

[green breach]

Everyone wants that Chinese engineer

[arctic grove]

I want everything

[fading jay]

Got it!!

[arctic grove]

Just gonna have to call in sick for work for the next 2 months i guess

thanks EA, really nice

[green breach]

I would have made it if you owned those games the cosmetics were related to you got those skins come release date

[arctic grove]

yeah but why do that when you can artificially inflate the playercount of a majorly hated game before a better one releases ?

what's crazy is this battle pass system is going to be in bf6 too

I mean yeah, there was a new leak of bflabs that shows there's a mission tab with weekly garbage just like in 2042

[green breach]

Ok is it like halo where you can earn previous ones or is it FOMO?

[arctic grove]

FOMO all the way

Good EA fashion

[left prism]

To those playing BF2042 on steam, does it show your steam display name in the kill feed and HUD? Or your EA account display name?

[green breach]

Welp I'm out Im not gonna get 6.

I despise FOMO

[arctic grove]

it is what it is, modern gaming is full of that

[green breach]

Battlepasses is one thing but FOMO no. Do it like halo and Helldivers 2

[radiant pier]

EA

[coarse orbit]

Anybody got something going I can join ?

[fading jay]

Halo has a battlepass?

[green breach]

Yes but you can earn any of them at your leasure

[arctic grove]

they do and aside from season 1 (doesnt self refund) the battle passes don't expire

the rest of the seasons self refund

[coarse orbit]

Can someone answer my question

[arctic grove]

meaning you can buy 1 then get the rest free

[coarse orbit]

Need a clan and a team

[fading jay]

Jj im in a bot lobby

[left prism]

Why can’t you get 6?

[coarse orbit]

Boring alone isn’t it 🤣

[fading jay]

If i had a game i would say something lol

[odd plank]

you could look in https://discord.com/channels/140933721929940992/179133571053780992

[fading jay]

Nah its chilled, just grinding attachments and trying guns

[green breach]

Oh I can run it just fine. FOMO is why.

[coarse orbit]

Thank you I’m new to discord

[odd plank]

no problem

[left prism]

Wym FOMO? Just buy it

Don’t trust it on release?

[quaint venture]

No mic is broke but ill team up

[coarse orbit]

Hang on I’m on ps5 tho will it matter?

[radiant pier]

The game has crossplay no?

[quaint venture]

It shouldn't

[coarse orbit]

Rigby-Gotcha

[odd plank]

not sure you could look in https://discord.com/channels/140933721929940992/998991805716635828 too though

[fading jay]

Jj what region

[vale pier]

Does 2042 have a shut the fuck up setting? To stop my dude shouting every 2 seconds for everything he does

[quaint venture]

Im nae

[fading jay]

Ah damn im oceanic

[radiant pier]

Enemies dont hear that if thats what ur worried about

[coarse orbit]

Thanks Halton unknown wants to team up so I’ll make a friend 🤣

[quaint venture]

I stopped using pings he always gives a distance and its so annoying

[arctic grove]

@vale pier Yep, it's called the MUTE button, 😉

[arctic grove]

FOMO is when you buy for example battle passes and everything is made to make you feel rushed instead of being able to take your time

[grave merlin]

Hey guys ! I'm a bit embarassed. I bought a BF2042 Gold edition key in november 2021. I activated it but I don't remember on which account.
I have the proof of buying, I have the original cd key in archive, proof of payment too.
Has sm1 encountered this situation ? Any solution ?

[coarse orbit]

What’s your name on it

[proper bay]

Is it me...or does the Lynx feel....broken?

[vale pier]

Nah, just want to tone it down / turn it off for me

[quaint venture]

trigger5642

[worn jungle]

They mean because of the whole having to play 2042 battle bass to get skins and whatnot, having to preorder to get skins, etc

[left prism]

Ahh gotcha

[radiant pier]

Time to log into every single acc u have and see which acc has the game in its library

[worn jungle]

I’m literally doing the pass because of fomo despite not really liking the game lol

It sucks but hey at least I’ll be styling in bf6

[grave merlin]

I tried 4acc already... but didn't find it.. 😢

[arctic grove]

same, 2042 is absolute trash, once I'm over with this it's an instant delete on my pc lol

[coarse orbit]

Added you

[radiant pier]

Why do u have so many accs lmao

[odd plank]

im doing it cus the skins look sick and i have nothing else to play lol

[arctic grove]

why you got 4 EA accounts bruh 🤣

[left prism]

I got all the challenges done in the custom bot lobby ABDTA7

[radiant pier]

Multiple accs usually means cheater hmmm sus

[left prism]

Made it way easier, especially grenade one

[quaint venture]

I accepted it

[coarse orbit]

Anybody else wanna join?

[arctic grove]

yeah that sounds weird ngl

[coarse orbit]

Send me game envite brotherrr

[quaint venture]

Gotchu

Anyone else joining?

[green breach]

Hulk Hogan is that you?

[grave merlin]

bruh, in an old old old and a long time ago, I needed it x)
I was banned on BF3.
I just recreated a clean acc to play BF2042 (fear of autoban), but lost this clean acc 🥸

[radiant pier]

He reincarnated no way!

[hearty basin]

me and my friend wanna play exposure conquest, is there a way to pick it specifically?

[radiant pier]

Host ur own portal server, its free

[quaint venture]

@coarse orbit how new are you? Do you know which game mode you prefer yet?

[hearty basin]

official one just that map specifically

[fading jay]

So long to get this gun and its so bad..

[radiant pier]

Then no, not possibie

[coarse orbit]

I like tdm but I like them all haha

[proper bay]

jesus the lynx is insanely inaccurate

[radiant pier]

Conquest best mode in every bf

[obtuse jasper]

No solution sorry

[quaint venture]

agreed

[coarse orbit]

Iff I talk can you hear me or should I just be muted?

[fading jay]

Breakthrough is something new for me and im enjoying it

[radiant pier]

Its really good for farming challenges or xp but if u wanna just chill conquest is better

[grave merlin]

Do you think EA could do something about his ?
Any advice ?

[quaint venture]

I cant hear anything does anyone else wanna join we can do conquest and use vehicles or something, im tryna get that 4wd buggy unlocked i always get slammed by it @coarse orbit

[fading jay]

I got another hour to grind before I gotta afk it

[tropic badge]

Finally got all the challenges done🙌anybody know what day they reset and new ones out?

[radiant pier]

U said u bought a key. So u bought it from a key seller website then no?

[obtuse jasper]

Only solution is refund if you don’t remember anything about the account not even the email

[grave merlin]

yup, I activated it on Origin at that time

[radiant pier]

Makes u look even more like a cheater next to ur 4 accs xd but yeah dont think EA can do anything about it. Just need to go through all accs u have and find the one that has it

The game is also like 3 bucks atm so could just buy again

[opal scaffold]

4 accounts, that's kinda sus

[polar timber]

NEVER USE A CRONUS ZEN ON BATTLEFIELD, even if you plan on using it or not. its never worth the ban I just experienced. I'll take my ban I was given no matter how bad it sucks. I used it for cookie clicker and 7 days to die and it got me banned in bf as soon as i launched the pc version of 2042 from the steam sale. Its never worth it yall.

[radiant pier]

Did u just admit to ban evading lmao

[spice parrot]

when i launch bf 2042 it says failed to launch game an error on our end caused the launch to fail

[woven smelt]

Hey so like I dont play 2042, when you reach a bf6 reward tier in the pass does it show you all the rewards in the bundle for that tier?? Or no?

[radiant pier]

Tried to verify files?

[polar timber]

wym? whats that? I got banned and i wish theyd reverse it or give me a warning

[spice parrot]

just installed the game should i verify ?

[radiant pier]

Worth a try

[spice parrot]

ok

[radiant pier]

Oh wait i didnt check the name. I thought ur the jrm guy

[tidal patio]

Well it is essentially a macro so idk what u expected

[radiant pier]

Pretty sad that ppl need that shit nowadays

[fading jay]

I got falsely banned by ea twice in 2 days, took 2 years and they dismissed and cancelled the first one but not the second? Even tho they were the same

[grave merlin]

I cheated on BF3, a lot .. And so what. that was 10y ago, all sort of kids we were...
Ben that's not the question here 🙂 I just played it maybe 10hours.. cost me 75€.. Want to enjoy this key you understand ^^

[fading jay]

Odd thing is i havent played any online ea game since the xbox 360 so I have no idea what flagged it

[polar timber]

i used it for cookie clicker and other idle games and i'll admit to using it. I jwas using it for 7 days to die to mine. got bored, saw the steam sale and booted 2042 for the first time on pc and got smacked by the ban

[radiant pier]

If u lost it thats on u, either go through all accs u have or rebuy it. Nothing anyone else can do

[grave merlin]

'll get a call with EA tomorrow ^^ We'll see. After that, we'll buy a new key so..

[radiant pier]

The only game EA banned me on multiple times was apex xd

[odd plank]

So annoying that I have to wait till next week to progress in the pass again

[fading jay]

I wish the message would tell me what game i did something bc I think the only ea games I've played in between were skate 3 and battlefront singleplayer

[spice parrot]

yea just tried it didnt work

[radiant pier]

Just keep grinding so u dont waste the weekly points on low tiers :3

[odd plank]

I hope they buff the points you get for xp

[radiant pier]

Doubt

Xp week/weekend would be nice tho

[odd plank]

True

[fading jay]

Time to try some public lobbies, see if I got any better in the last 12 hrs

[radiant pier]

If u wanna see raw skill, just go for tdm

All the bigger modes also require teamplay and class understanding

[fading jay]

Never done a 128 battle

Ah tdm id get smashed im only lvl 21

[radiant pier]

I personally avoid 128 lobbies, its too much imho

[grave merlin]

omg, I found it !!

[radiant pier]

Lmao

[fading jay]

Ah 128 is too empty

[grave merlin]

On my 5th acc

Other reason to get 4acc : 4 smurfs on Apex ? 👀

[fading jay]

Oo hour glass, new map for me to try

[radiant pier]

Best map in conquest large (not). Walk for 20min without any cover then get sniped or blown up by a heli xd

[fading jay]

Never understood smurfing bc its jus like u de rank yourdelf to ruin a new players experience

[nocturne cairn]

Just gotta be more useful, dont forget to do all of the different teamplay tasks that earn medals, not just kill and cap points

I believe in you, you can be a score chad

[nocturne cairn]

I have a perspective here. Some people like the dopamine drip of unlocking things and they have already reached past the skinner box or challenge list for unlocks

I personally am chilling with all my hard work and collection of stuff and satisfied, but I can see wanting to do it fresh for those types of players.

Streamers though thats a different story

[regal oyster]

Anyone know how to fix 2042? It's not working at all

[stone pewter]

yeah thats by design

[ionic brook]

Has anyone experienced the game crashing frequently on the PS4 version of Iwo Breakthrough? I’m on PS5 playing PS4 crossplay, and the game crashes relentlessly.

Also can’t get on any portal server on PS5

[arctic grove]

I'm just gonna start afk farming helicopter caspian border with netflix on the side until i reach level 30 then just do the stupid missions

[slender drum]

No.

[frosty rose]

Not had it crash on the Xbox one version but on both xbox one and series I noticed it would drop frames for a couple seconds

[daring sand]

Since I got EA Pro subscription will i get battlefield 6?

[arctic grove]

you should yes, and also you'll get rewards on release for it

like skins etc iirc they said so on the beta page

[daring sand]

Oh

[autumn fox]

BF2024 is it worth the 3 dollars on epic games

[arctic grove]

3$ yes

anything higher no so get it now if you want it

[autumn fox]

2.99 to be exact

[winged blaze]

anyone got best console commands for better enemy visibility >

[radiant pier]

No but its worth the 3 bucks on steam kekw

[autumn fox]

Im only buying it with the extra 20% I got from my last purchase in epic store

[arctic grove]

honestly i just get ea games on the ea app cause i hate linking accounts

and they have the same sales anyway almost

[radiant pier]

I just like being able to launch everything from steam

[quaint venture]

@coarse orbit

[violet iron]

I will be on for this

[odd plank]

what is the exact day where the week 2 starts?

[tropic cliff]

tuesday

[autumn fox]

So what's the difference between the standard and the elite edition other than cosmetics like are there any exclusive maps or? because it says on the elite battle on +17 maps

[fading jay]

How all those bot lobbies paid off, came overall first on conquest!

[tropic cliff]

like we've seen with every other weekly event

[worn totem]

ANY TIPS FOR FLYING HELI?

sry caps

[tropic cliff]

Mess with control mapping and test it in solo/co-op

[fading jay]

That was the best bf game I've ever played

[worn totem]

should i have vehicle aim relative controls on?

[woven seal]

I dont get the hate for 2042. Its a fun game now. I would rather it had proper classes and not operators but meh. Im enjoying playing it again.

[bright pulsar]

Battlefield 2042 was free on plus

[gentle whale]

I feel like DICE adding Iwo Jima to 2042 and even bringing back the music from BF5 was them admitting defeat that 2042 failed despite their best efforts to make it playable

Yes I’m pissed that Russian DLC didn’t come to BF5

[quaint venture]

@coarse orbit you chillin bud? I see you tryn lol some maps on here suck i play them anyway for the balance

[deft sapphire]

guys I can't lunch bf2042

[coarse orbit]

Yea mate I kept getting distracted having my smoke and a drink bro haha

[deft sapphire]

what do I do

[empty nacelle]

Any recommendations on how to get through this battle pass fast?

[deft sapphire]

need help

[quaint venture]

Pahahaa, help me inflict about 1000 more damage on enemy vehicles with the mav i need someone to pilot while i shoot tanks

[ionic wasp]

why can't i equip grips / attachments? they're greyed out even though i've got the kills

[quaint venture]

Try reinstalling it

[signal lark]

any error messages?

[deft sapphire]

no is something wrong with EA

[fading jay]

Im stoked i learnt this game quickly im demolishing public rn after 12 hrs of different bots

[deft sapphire]

is something like: platform error fail to lunch the game

🙁

[ionic wasp]

anyone? i can add flashlight but not foregrip..

[quaint venture]

Customize the weapon

[smoky sinew]

anyone know how to get easy resupplies

on solo doesnt seem to work

[river silo]

Man this battlepass is really grinding it out of me

I'm trying to get it done before september

I've reached tier 17

[fast nacelle]

I'm at tier 19. It takes me 11,500 exp to get a point now. Those later tiers are going to be intense.. -v-

[river silo]

even with the most cheesy strats it's taking absolutely ages

[river silo]

wait higher tiers take more points????????????

[fading jay]

Im at tier 15

[rugged mesa]

the creep is real

[tall junco]

yea most of the points you get from the pass are weekly missions because they give a flat amount of levels force grinding the levels is misery

[fast nacelle]

Yes, every tier seems to go up 250 exp points i think.

[rugged mesa]

it changes every few or so points

[tall junco]

ive just been chilling maxing out every ribbon while i watch something

[river silo]

😭 I am shattered right now, I really don't like this game but I can't resist those bf6 rewards

[rugged mesa]

at least seems too i havent paid the best attention to it tbh

[fading jay]

Im lvling up a shotgun rn

[rugged mesa]

i do know it sucks seeing everything complete but not being high enough to use incendiary grenades for that mission yet

[river silo]

I've been doing that helicopter strat, and put YT in the background, but I do still have to keep an eye on the game so that I ensure I'm in a functioning helicopter at the start of every game

[fading jay]

Doesn't the xp cap @river silo

[rugged mesa]

ive been meat grinder bot farming with spotting drone in tdm

[river silo]

the XP caps but it still contributes towards the battle pass

[fading jay]

But i swear i got no xo after the cap

How does it contribute

[river silo]

idk, but it just does, it's what I've been doing since yesterday

[rugged mesa]

the cap is per minute

[tall junco]

i still get xp just cant get over like 15-16k when its capped

[odd plank]

whats the helicopter strat?

[river silo]

have forcefully grinded myself from tier 10 to tier 17 from yesterday

[fading jay]

Ill go to the helicopter now then ty

[rugged mesa]

using the spotting drone i get around 10-12k every 9 or 10mins with the cap

[radiant pier]

Its 3 flags, u fly clockwise and keep capture them

[odd plank]

oh

[digital vortex]

This is just painful

[fading jay]

Im gonna afk this helicopter for the next 5 hrs

[digital vortex]

Should be illegal to be made to do this

[river silo]

basically, you have to join a caspian border portal match on the air superiority (custom) mode, then sit in a helicopter, put a book (or something else heavy) on your mouse to prevent you from getting kicked for inactivity, and then just turn on youtube and wait till the game ends

[tall junco]

ive been doing this whenever im not doing anything but when i actually play im doing breakthrough and getting all the ribbons the points come from just doing what i need for the ribbons too so usually end up like 1-5th and 22-30k xp per match

[river silo]

how many battle pass points is that

[fading jay]

I need some more xp too since im only lvl 21

[river silo]

I'm like level 75 now or something like that

[tall junco]

depends what level you are on it its usually like 2 stars per game and im at lvl 17 on the pass

[odd plank]

what rank are you guys in the pass

[river silo]

but I'm still using the same weapons I started the game with haha, the m5a3, the pkb and the pbx

[radiant pier]

Heli is pretty good for leveling

[fading jay]

Tier 15 rn

[stable goblet]

When I play in first person in an air vehicle the free look sensitivity is super high and idk if this is a bug or if I can fix it. Can anyone help me? I play on Xbox btw

[radiant pier]

20

[fading jay]

I need to chill now anyway bc I've been on bf for like 16 hrs lol

[tall junco]

lvl 17 with 46 matches idk if its counting portal heli afk for matches though

[river silo]

yeah, the helicopter strat also gives about 2-3 per game now

[odd plank]

damn in rank 13

[fading jay]

Haven't played an fps properly since 2009, im hooked again

[fast nacelle]

Like, how do you even afk though if you need to fly <_<

[river silo]

rank 17 as well, really painful

[tall junco]

you can sit in peoples helis

[river silo]

passenger + put a book on your mouse click to prevent you from getting kicked for inactivity

[fading jay]

Is there a specific class i should choose for helicopter, like to ger more xp ?

[tall junco]

yea ive just been leaning more towards breakthrough because i get the extra 7-10k per game compared to capped heli xp for a little effort

[river silo]

ideally, sit in the non-gunner passenger seat with the engineer, take out the repair torch, and then put the book on your mouse, so you get XP for repairing the heli for the whole round

[fast nacelle]

I think going for ribbons in a normal match might be better. But to each their own

[radiant pier]

Engineer for repair

[fading jay]

Ah I'll try that ty

[tall junco]

depends how much work you wanna put in

[stable goblet]

When I play in first person in an air vehicle the free look sensitivity is super high and idk if this is a bug or if I can fix it. Can anyone help me? I play on Xbox btw

[fading jay]

Does this battle pass go all the way til the launch of bf6?

[river silo]

XP doesn't contribute to the battle pass right?

[river silo]

Yep

[radiant pier]

Heli is like 15k per game, a proper breakthrough game is like 20k-30k

[tall junco]

you get battlepass levels through xp

[fading jay]

I hope I dont finish it too early bc im really enjoying bf2042

[river silo]

true, but the heli matches are also generally like half the length of a proper breakthrough game

[tall junco]

im going straight back to 4 after im done bf2042 isnt bad since its actually finished now but its still a goofy game imo

[smoky sinew]

bf2042 against bots is surprisingly fun as hell lmaooooooo

no sweats just mow down a horde of enemies

[dense shadow]

that sounds depressing

[radiant pier]

If only xp wasnt reduced against bots

[fading jay]

I enjoyed fighting bots earlier this morning to get attatchments

[river silo]

You certainly won't be finishing it quickly haha. The strat I mentioned is exactly as efficient for battlepass grinding as breakthrough gameplay is, HOWEVER, the heli strat means that you can just leave the game on for periods of time while you do something else

[fading jay]

Ye perfect, I wanna watch some anime

[river silo]

if you enjoy the game, I'd suggest just playing breakthrough normally, you'll get the same battle pass points for it without an XP cap

[arctic grove]

netflix for example

[river silo]

haha fair enough

[river silo]

yup, or anime or youtube or whatever else

can go grab some food or chill on the sofa for a bit while the game grinds

[fading jay]

Whoever flies these helps thanks to them

[arctic grove]

How much xp do y'all manage to get in that helicopter caspian portal mode ?

[radiant pier]

15k ish

[fading jay]

I would not be arsed to fly all day in a circle

[arctic grove]

yikes, same, welp

[river silo]

A good amount, BUT there is an XP cap on it. Once that XP cap is crossed, then you can only get battlepass points

[fading jay]

Ah then this is just for bp

[river silo]

yep

[arctic grove]

how much is it capped at ?

[fading jay]

Hmm not sure if illl bother then

[radiant pier]

I always only get 2 points per heli game, breakthrough 3-6

[river silo]

Not sure to be honest

[tall junco]

im still getting normal level points

[fading jay]

Might be a good time to log off the game haha

[odd plank]

after capturing the 4th flag or so it doesnt show the xp anymore at the bottom

[floral fjord]

Does anyone know why the bp xp earned thing keep going up, it's already at like 8k per bp coin rn

[fading jay]

But not bad 1 day in level 22, 2 classes with the guns done

[floral fjord]

Does it ever reset???

[arctic grove]

cause EA greed that's what

[river silo]

Ah really? I don't really know how this works to be fair, it's quite convoluted and annoyingly long

[radiant pier]

Yeah thats normal

[radiant pier]

Tier 20 is 13k per point...

[arctic grove]

How long does it take for that to stop happening ?

[floral fjord]

Jesus

[arctic grove]

people realizing the pass is gonna be a horrible unfun grind

[river silo]

Dear lord

[arctic grove]

I told y'all

[floral fjord]

Oh well, im fine doing shit, found a good way to get alot of xp lmao

[arctic grove]

honestly just farm xp to level 27-30 then just do missions

[radiant pier]

I still want that T60 skin so I'll suffer through it

[arctic grove]

same, i'm never replaying 2042 after that

[river silo]

I mean I knew this from the beginning, but I didn't think it would be THIS long. Like I got university starting soon 😂 I won't have time to complete it

[arctic grove]

garbage game

[floral fjord]

Im gonna try to get all rewards for bf6

[radiant pier]

I had a pretty good time so far. Didnt completely hate the game

[floral fjord]

Yeah 2042 is fun, you just gotta get good in order to do things like cap or kills

[arctic grove]

https://www.reddit.com/r/battlefield2042/comments/1mv9og3/how_much_time_will_you_need_to_reach_rank_60_in/

[river silo]

I think it's alright for a game, not good by battlefield standards. But, this battlepass is definitely the most painful battlefield-related thing I've ever done

[fading jay]

I hope the player id and calling cards have more variety for bf6

[arctic grove]

"DO ALL MISSIONS AND PLAY ONE ROUND A DAY. This has the biggest impact on your ability to finish the BP. If you can not do that make sure you make it up. You miss a day, you play one round extra the next day." from the reddit post

make sure to do the time limited bonus mission as well

[fading jay]

One round a day? Does it even out to 35 hrs?

[arctic grove]

otherwise you will have to catch up 10 points for every week you miss on that

[tall junco]

about 25-30

[arctic grove]

and trust me you don't want to catch up 10 points 💀

[fading jay]

What's the best lmg for long distance?

[stable goblet]

Anyone got advice on how to progress through the pass faster? I finished all my challenges and I’m only on level 10

[tall junco]

play a few rounds of breakthrough/conquest and just wait for next weeks missions

[floral fjord]

Well idk if the play one round a day will help that much but I get it

[arctic grove]

honestly if EA had an ounce of self respect they would reset the the xp requirements or increase the points given by missions but we all know they have 0 respect and only greed

[tall junco]

it helps you get 10k xp just for first match of the day + whatever you earned

[smoky sinew]

hmmm dfr strife is p good, honestly most of them are good at long range if you have bipod

[floral fjord]

Yeah, I can see that, I just wish they like restart the xp earned every week, so it's get cheaper then expensive

[radiant pier]

Dice has to have planned 1 or multiple xp weeks/weekends. The xp requirement is just way too high

[hearty basin]

how can i get exposure on conquest

[arctic grove]

they better give us double xp every week otherwise they just don't care about us as players

[radiant pier]

Portal or luck

[tall junco]

i mean it seems pretty easy to complete unless you're bashing your head into a wall trying to force levels but yea double xp would be nice

[upper vessel]

Portal is fun

[hearty basin]

is exposure on 64 and 128?

[arctic grove]

https://www.reddit.com/r/battlefield2042/comments/1mv9og3/how_much_time_will_you_need_to_reach_rank_60_in/ the fact we have to make calculations like that is insane, this is unhealthy af for the player

[simple elk]

They should have on the BP Missions page how many more days left for current week. Might get people to stop asking when new weekly missions start. Just saying.

[radiant pier]

Wonder how much xp the last 10 points will require each for T60

[floral fjord]

Or maybe just stop the xp earned at like 8-9k per coin

[hearty basin]

players*

[arctic grove]

btw I'd recommend to grind xp the most this week cause the higher the tier the more xp meaning you will have to play more the more time it takes you to farm

especially if you do the missions first

doing the missions first makes you take more time to finish the pass

so farm this week as much as you can

[floral fjord]

I've tried the heli capture map today and I got like 20k-22k xp from it so it's not that bad

[arctic grove]

before new week releases

[tall junco]

yea farm levels while theyre lower xp and let the missions carry you later because they're flat

[simple elk]

Im mostly playing again to earn trophies I never got and to take advantage of the chance to unlock items for BF6 ... at 25/35 trophies so far.

[arctic grove]

"5. Bot matches will net more XP on average, but can get extremely dull. If you want to max XP per round, you can go for ribbons. In 2042 these ribbons make up a significant portion of your XP gains. Spotting, Assists, Kills, Captures all of these have three tiers and can give up to 1.5k XP. Winning also gives a 2.5k XP bonus. You do not have to do all, but doing a decent amount of everything will bolster your XP gain per round."

from the reddit post, don't know if that's true

breakthrough bot matches end faster and you can easily get ribbons

[tall junco]

ribbons go up to 2k so 10k per match from ribbons if you max them all

[arctic grove]

10k if the match ends faster is defo better than 15k in public servers with long matches ngl

jfc the fact we have to calculate like that for a fucking battle pass is unhealthy

[radiant pier]

U can easily get 30k per 20min game everytime in breakthrough or rush

[arctic grove]

I sweat my ass off last game got top score and only got 27k, I ain't doing that every single match 💀

the game is very stingy with xp

[radiant pier]

Just keep healing

[arctic grove]

I maxed out every single ribbon

😭

[radiant pier]

U can still earn more

[tall junco]

most people can get 22-27k easily without minmaxing , 30k every game requires a lot of consistent work

[floral fjord]

I play recon and get alot of xp

[radiant pier]

Guess i can call myself a good medic then xd

[orchid tusk]

make sure you swith those bollards lol

[floral fjord]

Sure it's small, but if played right it's a big payoff

[arctic grove]

if they remove portal servers or the ability to do missions there I'm just not gonna bother

[tall junco]

yea i just play for the ribbon and once i complete ribbons i do whatever i have the most fun on

[arctic grove]

what in game action is the easiest to do yet gives more xp ?

[floral fjord]

They should add more quests or xp when the xp earned thing keeps going up by 250 a coin or several coins

[arctic grove]

just increasing mission points rewards would suffice but they're not gonna do that sadly

[floral fjord]

Probably

[river silo]

Uhhh I am pretty sure you can't do missions in portal

[floral fjord]

You can

[tall junco]

you can

[river silo]

I tried the incendiary damage mission in portal and it didn't work

[tall junco]

i did all my missions in portal 💀

[arctic grove]

you can, as long as the "weekly missions" is visible

[river silo]

I had to go to a proper breakthrough match for it to work

[river silo]

Bruh, I must have missed that

[radiant pier]

I just play falck with ammo box. Use syringe to heal and throw down ammo box at choke points for resupply points. Rez if doable and as a bonus point i got my handy dandy ac9 to back me up xd

[river silo]

In any case the missions were actually fairly easy to do in breakthrough

You can get 1000 incendiary damage in a single good game of breakthrough, and you'll practically always get 400+ even in bad games

[radiant pier]

The hardest one imo was the 10 captures in 1 game lol

[arctic grove]

did it on caspian border portal lol

that shit is just too hard to do consistently so i didn't bother

[river silo]

It's actually fairly easy to do in large scale conquest, but it's so hard to do in close quarters conquest

[floral fjord]

I did it in a random helicopter capture map

[radiant pier]

Yeah didnt know weekly missions can be completed in custom servers at that time so i just had to brute force it lmao

[odd plank]

yeah but neutralising a point counts also so if you capture a point that was captured by the enemy youd get 2 points for the challenge

that made it a lot easier

[river silo]

Also guys, here's some good advice for people doing the heli strat. Turn all of your graphics to absolute minimum, and set your refresh rate and screen resolution to minimum as well. This ensures that your PC isn't being fried for nothing

Since you're not looking at the screen, you don't need a good looking game

[dark bone]

tier check?

[river silo]

Almost 18

[fresh grail]

15 :/

[radiant pier]

20 🙏🏻

[fading jay]

15

[fresh grail]

I already saw someone with the f2000

[river silo]

I genuinely am on the edge of quitting, since I hear the tiers only get harder and harder to get

[dark bone]

thats fr all i want i dont care much about the bf6 rewards

[floral fjord]

On 11 rn

[brazen garnet]

3 🙂

[dark bone]

better to grind as much as you can now so you can use the mission points for the higher needed xp

[radiant pier]

The main thing i want next to the bf6 rewards is the a10 😭

[river silo]

I want the guy with the special tactical mask (tier 50)

[radiant pier]

12 more tiers to go to unlock it

[floral fjord]

I just want the free bf6 stuff, just sucks that I have to grind alot but oh well, better now then later

[dark bone]

come back here and lmk how the f2000 is when you get it

[radiant pier]

What tier is it

[dark bone]

22

[river silo]

Mango what tier are you on

[dark bone]

16

[radiant pier]

If i remember yeah will do

[dark bone]

i havent been doing the heli farm tho i got too bored

[river silo]

Fair enough

[radiant pier]

Yeah stopped as well, having more fun in breakthrough

[floral fjord]

I might do it every now and then while doing other stuff

[radiant pier]

Actually fuck sleep, imma keep grinding

[floral fjord]

Lmao

[river silo]

I just don't want to play THAT much battlefield honestly, and the amount it's demanding me to play for the battlepass is just cruelty

[languid pond]

I just got 2042 (on sale for only $3) however I am getting some weird error when trying to connect? DiscSoftLTD??

[tropic cliff]

There's always that one stealth helicopter on BT Iwo Jima that no one bothers to try destroying

[floral fjord]

Actually, does anyone remember playing 2042 a few years ago and looking at the bp system??

I just started this game like a few weeks ago

[river silo]

I did play a lot of 2042 in the end of 2023 but unfortunately I never bothered looking at the battlepass

perhaps this fixes it for u

[river silo]

@radiant pier roughly how many hours do you reckon it would take to get from tier 20 to 60?

[radiant pier]

i don't even wanna think about it lmao

[river silo]

😂

[violet otter]

Air superiority featured portal playlist is pretty fun.

[languid pond]

I tried the first suggestion already (last night and it didnt help) let me check the second.

[lament frost]

im tier 23 and need 17000exp 1/10

[river silo]

....

[floral fjord]

Okay that is dumb

[river silo]

I'll be honest I think it will take 100 hours

From my calculations that's what it seems

[tropic cliff]

At this rate it will take me the entire event to finish the battle pass

[violet otter]

They made so you come back to do the weekly’s otherwise it will take forever

[river silo]

Yeah....

Which I can't do because I've got uni soon

[lament frost]

We need Tier 27, because in Week 7 the only tier we can get from missions is Tier 38

[river silo]

I was told the bp would only take 30 hours but apparently that was way off

[radiant pier]

man the T1 falck skin looks so sick, i don't regret spending so much time grinding that shit

[river silo]

Now that I think about it, I'm gonna just grind to get to the BF6 pistol, and then quit

[lament frost]

I’ve played for 50 hours, and I’m only at Tier 23. I still need a lot more time

[tropic cliff]

EA did this deliberately

[river silo]

This is not worth the grind for me 😂 😂 100+ hours to get from tier 20 to 60 whilst using the most cheesy strats possible is absurd

[floral fjord]

Maybe make a math equation so we know how much xp we need to finish the battle pass with the missions too

[normal drum]

so when is EA pulling portal and game servers for 2042? this month? this year? its a damn shame we will loose access to being able to make our own bot matches even for a SP experience. why EA dont just make an offline mode i wont understand

[tropic cliff]

At least give double xp during weekends...

[floral fjord]

Make that quad xp

[river silo]

2 x 20 x 5 x (number of remaining tiers) x 2

For a very rough estimate

[floral fjord]

Yeah that

[river silo]

And divide the final answer by 60 for hours

[floral fjord]

Alrighty, thanks

[violet otter]

I mean BF3 is still going so probably not for a while

[quick kraken]

its basically identical

[orchid tusk]

OH GO GRIND IRISH ON EL ALAMEIN WILL YA

[floral fjord]

Jesus, I hope they change the system in BF6

[dapper river]

Every battle pass point earned increases the XP requirement, btw. However, this increase resets weekly.

[floral fjord]

I think what fortnite and bo6 is doing is netter

[normal drum]

not on console, pc following soon

[floral fjord]

THANK FUCK!!!

[quick kraken]

You get 5 and a half tiers worth of points from the challenges (assuming you do the bonus weekly) and there's 7 weeks, so 38.5 tiers worth of challenges. have to backfill the last 21.5 with xp, and it disincentivizes you from grinding too much per week by scaling the amount of points you get with xp

[river silo]

Are you 100% certain?

[floral fjord]

Im happy to be part of this community

[radiant pier]

so next week its back to 8k+ then instead of the 13k i need rn?

[floral fjord]

Ill make sure to not be those BO6 dumbass lmao

[violet otter]

Sure but it’s still there for now 14 years later suggests 2042 they will keep going for years to come still

[quick kraken]

I'm at like 8250 pp rn

[river silo]

For me it's 10k for 1 battlepass point

[quick kraken]

basically, to make sure you're on track, make sure youre earning AT LEAST 3 tiers a week with XP

the pass will be completely gone on oct 7 so you need to be done by then

[river silo]

Does the week reset on Monday 25th?

[floral fjord]

I say get 4 battle pass tiers a day for 15 days, you'll be done

[tropic cliff]

Is that enough time?

[quick kraken]

also not doing the bonus weekly loses you an entire tier

so make sure youre doing that

[tropic cliff]

The incendiary grenade challenge was hell

[floral fjord]

You'll need to finish 5 mission quests to unlock the big one so be ready for that

[quick kraken]

if it counted vehicle incendiary agls it would be tolerable

but it does not

[floral fjord]

Wait, how many weeks do we have till the season ends again?

7-8?

[quick kraken]

Oct 7 is when the pass ends

there are 7 weeks worth of challenges

[tropic cliff]

Every grenade I throw at players the progress goes up by five points

[dapper river]

Now I'm doubting myself, this is from what I remember when playing the old battle passes. It's been like, 2 years since the last one tho? I might be wrong and might be conflating the XP reset with the weekly mission reset.

[quick kraken]

I remember it being not awful when I was grinding exposure

[river silo]

It's actually not bad as long as you do it in breakthrough. In it, you need to flank people, and then instead of shooting them, you just throw incendiaries at them. Repeating this for an entire match can get you 1000+ incendiary damage in a single good match

[quick kraken]

I only played preseason for like a few weeks, S1, and the first week of S2 tho

[river silo]

💔 I hope it resets, because this is getting extremely painful

[quick kraken]

I couldn't stand the game

Still can't, really, but I want the cosmetics

[tropic cliff]

I want my Masterkey

[floral fjord]

So wait, does the xp earned restart every week cause if so, then I got a better idea of how to get the bp tiers

[fresh grail]

Idk what dice was thinking.. 10 kills with the 1911? Why not a weapon people already have unlocked lmao

[quick kraken]

you can do it with any pistol

1911 is 2x progress

[dark bone]

doesnt have to be 1911

[river silo]

You can do it with any pistol, the 1911 just counts for double

[fresh grail]

Blind

[pearl zodiac]

Oh 2042 how much I hate you 🤣

[river silo]

I got 12 pistol kills in one of my matches

[dark bone]

i run around deagle only for fun sometimes

[tropic cliff]

Use BFP .50 ez clap

[violet otter]

Just get out the Deagle or the glock will probably be easier anyway even without the bonus

[quick kraken]

my biggest issue is still how absolutely awful the game feels

[dark bone]

ive never understood this

[tropic cliff]

Are you still stuck in 2021?

[quick kraken]

I've played 4, 1, V, 2042, and 6's beta and only 2042 feels like absolute garbage

[dark bone]

6 felt worse then 2042 to me

[quick kraken]

6 felt like V which had good gunfeel

[lament frost]

https://imgur.com/a/OGAe6jT The F2000 is actually a pretty good gun

[river silo]

I have now experienced a moment of clarity. This battlepass is not worth my time or effort anymore. It's taking way too long to get some virtual item that I can hardly ever see, and I now realise that this time being spent in such a way is actually pretty depressing (for me at least)

I'm gonna push for tier 19 and then I'm done

[quick kraken]

Its fucked up since the alpha/tech test or whatever felt fine, and then beta came and that and launch felt completely different for the worse

[floral fjord]

Does anyone know how to contact a support for 2042?

[violet otter]

I think it depends if you really don’t enjoy the game then obviously it’s not worth the grind

[tropic cliff]

Is the Lynx really bad weapon? I haven't tried it out yet

[quick kraken]

Its tolerable

I don't think its particularly strong or weak

if you want to minmax the best options are still AK5/M5/pick an LMG

AK5 esp because it still has the AP grenades that let you basically one cycle a tank

[tropic cliff]

No I'll just stick with M16A3 + underbarrel shotgun attachment

[languid pond]

Ok I got it to launch, now its jsut stuck on the St/Earth screen?

[thick acorn]

NO CAP ANYONE WANNA DO THESE GOD AWFUL CHALLENGES WITH ME FOR BF6 PASS LMFAO

[quick kraken]

thats fair

I just wish portal guns had real customization

[arctic grove]

breakthrough in bf2042 specifically is such a dumb gamemode

[violet otter]

I don’t think the challenges are that bad. I remember those perk challenges on BF1 were made to drive you insane

[arctic grove]

all the maps suck to a certain extent so that doesn't help

[thick acorn]

I hats the best way to get exp other than doing the challenges for the bp

[quick kraken]

yeah man let me get 1000 damage vs bombers with an smg

[simple elk]

Only at Tier 12 BP... going so slow. =o(

[violet otter]

Going back to BF1 now the specialisation perks felt like such a tacked on feature with a massive grind attached for each minor perk, would be better if they never added it

[wispy atlas]

any geniuses in this discord when it comes to fixxing lag?

[languid pond]

Anyone have any tech suggestions for getting it past the loading screen or does it normally like longer then 20 mins?

[quick kraken]

perks were tacked on i think

they def werent there at launch/dlc1

[wispy atlas]

My game stutters like crazy its unplayable

[arctic grove]

yeah, buying bf6 and ditching 2042

notice how in bf6 you don't wait so long in between matches

[violet otter]

Yeah came a year later from what I remember

[languid pond]

I only buy stuff on sale, so no go for me with BF6, I also know better then to buy NEW fps games. Lol

[violet otter]

I don’t think anyone actually uses them though 90% on death screen people just using default perks

[fading jay]

Mate you've played 2 weekends of it in a beta form, you cant compare anything yet

[arctic grove]

the wait times won't change it's not gameplay related, it's just much faster in bf6 cause they know in 2042 it's bad

[arctic grove]

enjoy staying on half assed 2042 then

[fading jay]

And there is less to load bc its a beta,

The beta was 30gb and 3 maps

[languid pond]

All I did was ask a simple question, no reason to be pissy LOL

[arctic grove]

" I also know better then to buy NEW fps games." implies you are being pissy yourself

[fading jay]

Average cod enjoys be like haha

[arctic grove]

enjoy being broke cya

[fading jay]

Cod mentality right there

[arctic grove]

that guy left the server so i was right lol

[fading jay]

Bro your acting so childish

[arctic grove]

huh, leaving the server cause broke and trying to act superior huh

[hardy kestrel]

Bummed about rooftops on Cairo. With some tweaking, the map could have easily integrated them. Add destructible rooftops, and then you've got mortars, c4 drones and snipers to counter and the result is balanced plus you've added a whole lot more depth and personality to the map

[dark bone]

i miss bf4 mortars

[arctic grove]

we're getting mortars in bf6

labs leaked again on reddit there's a mortar in loadouts

[dark bone]

itll come down to maps for me i think i love 2042 but cant stand 80% of the maps

[arctic grove]

make that 95% and i'd agree lol

[dark bone]

you might be right

[arctic grove]

for a 3$ game it's aight

for anything higher than 3$ it's trash

[dark bone]

played since release 💯

[normal drum]

sure about that? whats the main reason EA pull servers and delist games? to make people buy new ones right? well EA just anounced BF will become an annual release. so RIP

[arctic grove]

Played beta, bought for release, refunded cause was trash, bought it again on 3$ sale a year ago, not worth full price

[normal drum]

BF isnt worth investing in, in any capacity

[dark bone]

to each their own, i enjoyed it when it was first out and ik that makes me weird lol

[arctic grove]

good for you if you enjoyed it

[normal drum]

2042 was built to not be a BF game so its garbage. BF6 is built to be COD so its just as bad

[tropic cliff]

When it came out I thought having 128 players was awesome

[sturdy socket]

anyone else unable to get 2042 to launch after it "updated"?

verifying now but making sure here

[strong sable]

lf1 squad 6

[dark bone]

buddy must have missed when i said "to each their own"

[pine karma]

2042 was built for a new generation on Consoles. Maybe that's what they wanted to do show the capability of the new system's

[small parcel]

having a crash after launching game in new laptap,pls help

[violet otter]

They have been saying they have wanted annual release since Bf3 btw but never happened

[pine karma]

Maps are too big. Erm there's 128 player mode

[deep hamlet]

Finally i found the solution for the bf 2042 crashing with no error message on the loading screen

It worked at least for me

[arctic grove]

when 128 doesn't lag sure...

rush 128 is just pure lag experience

[pine karma]

Where's Rush 128 player ?

[deep hamlet]

I played 32vs32 and 64vs64 and its pure chaos. Also the small maps or TDM are so chaotic. There is a point were im on a smoke screen, bodies around me, that beep sound when a nade explodes near you, and teamates spamming utilities. I love it xdd

[pine karma]

It's what you call proper all out warfare

[deep hamlet]

Its so funny how i have to put shields, medic bags and trophy to make a safe little space

[pine karma]

Personally yeah the game was buggy as hell on release but it's fixed now and great. I honestly think the one's that hated it couldn't cope with the constant pushing objectives

I've dived back into it and been revived more in one game than 6 matches of BF6

[tropic cliff]

I thought people only shat on it because of Specialists

[pine karma]

Specialist classes aren't even a problem

[sturdy socket]

i had to update my EA app before 2042 launched, interesting

[pine karma]

I just don't think people well older battlefield fans could cope with the pace of the game.

[radiant pier]

i grew up with battlefield 2 and i don't have an issue with the bf2042 pace or movement

[violet otter]

Its not the pace or movement that are the issues people have with it

[sweet ice]

Wtf is with the iwo jima servers?

[pine karma]

How can maps be too big if they're created smaller for 64v64 or bigger for 128v128

[radiant pier]

i ate them

[violet otter]

Game was made for 128 players and you can tell just by playing the game it came at a big sacrifice. Ultimately 128 players was a failure and people play 64 modes which are better now

[sweet ice]

They're all hot ass

[pine karma]

I spent more time in BF1 maps to get my first encounter than I ever did in 2042

[arctic grove]

nah there's so much more wrong with the game, bad maps, the weapon attachment hot swap system, the vehicles being way too good, open weapons and it goes on and on

[pine karma]

Sundance made everyone call quits 😭

That scattered grenade is naughty ngl

[arctic grove]

they nerfed every little thing that had 1% more strength against vehicles

[radiant pier]

really needs a nerf imo

[arctic grove]

otherwise the vehicle nerds would throw and tantrum about it

[pine karma]

Nah you can run away in time

Only problem was Heli's imo. They still are. Especially when you have on constantly sitting in stealth mode. How they've not sorted that is insane

[arctic grove]

the stealth helicopter is virtually unkillable if you know how to drive them even a little

also the stinger is utterly useless in 2042

[pine karma]

Yeah I've seen people begging to help team a helicopter

[sweet ice]

Reasons people have shat on 2042:
-server quality
-operators/useless skins
-hot swapping attachments
-every operator is usain bolt with 60+ lbs of gear on apparently
-battlepass
-cod-style slides
-operator perks/unique items

[pine karma]

You need atleast 2 or more players vs a Good Heli player

[arctic grove]

honestly bf6 is a breath of fresh air after that mess

[sweet ice]

Damage it, then.

[frosty rose]

Just had a dude in a heli camping American spawn during breakthrough on iwo jima, don't they have a timer once they go into enemy spawn before auto death ?

[pine karma]

Server's are good now. Hot swapping attachments ain't that accessibility? I mean i can't understand the issue with that one as BF3&4 Had attachments

[sweet ice]

Killzone for air vehicles is different from players.

[pine karma]

Things progress

[pearl geode]

Sup everyone, new BF player. Could someone recommend a good AR and SMG? Thanks

[charred axle]

Wybjs thuis shit do hard

AHH

[frosty rose]

That's crazy he was literally just firing into the spawn point so nobody could even get into the AA

[sweet ice]

Not my opinion, i dont really care about the hot swapping. It was just a short list of reasons people have shat on 2042 as a whole. Yeah, 3/4 had attachments, but you weren't able to adjust on the fly like in this game.

[charred axle]

Nikita downloaded cause it was on crazy sale and I get killed after 5 secinda of deploying EACH TIME

[pine karma]

With what ? In stealth Mode. Ight I'll run across map to the nearest Air turret and come across 30 players in the process only for the heli to go the opposite direction

[charred axle]

how are people good at this shit

Am I playing against fucking John wifi?

[sweet ice]

Crawford's minigun?

[charred axle]

Wick*

[pine karma]

Oh please. He'll ever drop a paveload or go the opposite direction

[charred axle]

And there’s NO training facility so I CANT train to bevind better

[sweet ice]

An RPG? AP ammo? Literally any of the options we have?

[pine karma]

Minigun doesn't touch heli's

[charred axle]

Become*

[arctic grove]

sounds like the usual pro vehicle bootlicker tbh he's trolling 100%

[charred axle]

So I’m just stuck here, dying

[arctic grove]

everyone knows and acknowledges vehicles are busted in 2042

[pine karma]

I see that lol

[charred axle]

And I don’t want to delete it cause I spent my HARD earnes cause on that

Cash*

Can anyone help

[pine karma]

Had one earlier the moment they was boots on ground the KD went from 30 - 0 to 35 - 21

[charred axle]

Fuckass game

[frosty rose]

😂 that's why I just snipe so I don't have to deal with the majority of the games bs lol

[sweet ice]

Who's trolling? You damage a stealth heli enough you take it out of stealth mode. It's not that hard to understand. Lis's TV rockets are a 5th option.

[orchid tusk]

[arctic grove]

I knew he would mention lis

What a fucking dumbass

[charred axle]

And I’m trying to figure out the mechanicus of the game

BUT I CANT

[arctic grove]

if you cant avoid a lis rocket as a stealth helo you don't deserve to use one in the first place

[charred axle]

BECAUSE I KEEP DYING EVERY 5 FUCKING SECONDS

[pine karma]

Lis can't carry Rockets

[arctic grove]

he means the guided ones that lis has

it's still a dumbass answer regardless lol

[frosty rose]

Go into the solo game modes and play against bots

[charred axle]

This game will be on my suïcide list

[charred axle]

Ik

[pine karma]

Oh the 20x Damage one. Where the driver will park bus behind a wall

[arctic grove]

there's basically no option against helos in 2042 wake up

[sweet ice]

She has a rocket launcher with FPV control.

[sweet ice]

What the fuck are you smoking? 😂

[arctic grove]

this is how the usual nerd vehicle convo goes btw

[pine karma]

Yeah and it's 20x damage. Should be atleast 50 minimum

[arctic grove]

always the same shitass talking points that have been disproven 2 years ago

not worth entertaining

[frosty rose]

Is it possible to just give yourself a challenge and try and snipe the pilot 😂. Or is it one of those helis with the Armoured windows

[pine karma]

I'll give dice that with Vehicles in BF6 hope they don't screw it up

[sweet ice]

You havent even shot at a heli lately have you? I took one down with an avancys AP rounds yesterday.

[arctic grove]

bf6 vehicles are toned down and actually balanced vs this game so far

[pine karma]

Must have been a bot driver

[sweet ice]

Bad player or ai, because honestly, you could be saying either one atp

[pine karma]

Yeah and the ammo limit.

[agile willow]

sorry man i just suck at air viecles idk why but i just cant stear fast enough to move right(from the worst piolet)

[sweet ice]

Personally, i dont fuck with the jets in 2042.

[agile willow]

i tried it and just crshed in secconds

the heli is better but i get yelled at when i drive

[frosty rose]

I made a dude rage quit in the beta, sniped him out of his jet 😂

[agile willow]

(onlyplayed like 3 hours totalbtw)

[sweet ice]

You could load up the desert map on a solo match and practice.

[radiant pier]

don't listen to those weirdos, u don't owe anyone a specific playstyle

[agile willow]

ah i mean that bc i kinda fly right into misiles

and the grouind

[radiant pier]

try taking some lessons in bot matches to get used to it

[frosty rose]

So annoying seeing those type of dudes pop up in the game chat and bully some new player trying to learn how to fly

[radiant pier]

the reason why i hate starting multiplayer games late

always avoided helis, jets etc

[sweet ice]

Its like you're trying to say you fly like neebs' bffs character lol.

[frosty rose]

Normally tends to be the players at the bottom of the score board that complain the most 😂

[sweet ice]

The dude thats 6-23 "FLY STRAIGHT FOR ONCE"

[frosty rose]

😂 for real I've seen it so many times

[sweet ice]

My favorite was some dude that was like 5-40 telling me "never fly again" when i had 2 AA tanks shooting at me.

[frosty rose]

I get messages all the time "get gud you need skill" I'm like says the dude trying to snipe me and keeps going back to the same spot not even trying to find another position to counter me 😂. Best when they say "your trash" and I just send them my 9.4k/d stats 😂 (7.39 human k/d)

[sweet ice]

I mever saw the point in telling people to get good when they've killed me 3x. Like yeah, i'll go back once, just to see if i can get them back, but beyond that, its bad decision making

[frosty rose]

It surprises me how many times another sniper will go back to the same spot and be completely exposed not even going into cover

[sweet ice]

There's really only one that stands out in my memory. Dude was on a crane, kept getting rocked from across the map, and i ended up getting him like 7 or 8x before he considered moving. Between kills, i pulled out my pistol and hid behind a rock.

Drone Spot, kill, drone spot, kill, etc

[frosty rose]

Lol I always end up feeling bad for those guys

[sweet ice]

I dont. He had his buddy revive him a couple times, so he knew EXACTLY what he was doing.

[orchid tusk]

scoreboard was a good idea, not implemented to its best potential

hehe

[sweet ice]

Wym?

[orchid tusk]

game didnt have a scoreboard upon release

[sweet ice]

Ohhhhh okay, gotcha.

[glass cargo]

Lads, any oceanic players here??

[frosty rose]

And that was still better than battlefront 2 "here's points for dying" 😂

[sweet ice]

I also think they could have highlighted your specific tab yellow in the scoreboard (or some other random color to specify its you)

[orchid tusk]

haha i even played that one a bit back in the day and didnt remember that

[sweet ice]

Dont hero's get points for living longer than 30 seconds?

I havent played in forever

[stable sail]

Does BMP/Chadley active armor protect against rockets? It says it has no effect against explosive damage.

[cerulean jay]

good lord i'm terrible at this game.

i was doing really well in bf6

[stable sail]

Wait... Did they remove Russia on attack in breakthrough solo?!

thats such a crap change

[frosty rose]

I've no idea anymore been a good while since I've played it. It actually became a great game

[simple elk]

I'm not to sure on what the XP is needed for BP items, and doing weekly missions... but, I think Tier 60 "could" be possible if you play daily even if you dont get all weekly missions? .. .depends how much you play?

[modern fjord]

Agreed, when i launch the game theres pop up says "Failed to launch the game"

Yeah peak gameplay

[summer frigate]

If you play a whole bunch it should be relatively easy, but the increase of xp needed happens with every point.

[simple elk]

Im already 1 tiers into what should be week 2

2 tiers, sorry

[summer frigate]

I'm at tier 6 so far.

[simple elk]

got the little snowman charm

tier 12

[hallow delta]

is it worth it to buy 2042 for 3$ rn or is there not a consistent playerbase

or any other lingering issues from launch

[simple elk]

3$ for the game?

[hallow delta]

on steam yeah

[simple elk]

wow... idk .. .i paid like 100 for the bundle when it came out on ps

but its really popular now due to earning stuff for bf6

[frosty rose]

Yh I play with crossplay on and always get lobbies filled of pc players

[pine karma]

No save that $3.00 and get some food. That's a very substantial amount of dollar Holla

[simple elk]

i think my crossplay is on too

[pine karma]

Or maybe put it towards some eggs. I hear they're expensive in US atm

[frosty rose]

My wife plays pc and she's never had a issue finding games so it's still popular

[simple elk]

im not the greatest player... i just enjoy the franchise ... played all BF games

[pine karma]

2042 is averageing 30K+ atm that ain't including a big Console player base

[pliant hatch]

Does anyone know if they usually showcase the battlepass before games release?

[simple elk]

Im playing thru PS5 ... but back and forth on PS4 too... because I can link trophies on both versions

[frosty rose]

That and the maps are better imo on old gen 😂

[stable sail]

yes its worth it

you'll get your $1/hr just from battlepass stuff

[simple elk]

if it was on PS3, Id play that too for the trophies

I hve 3, 4, and 5

[pine karma]

I recently got a PS3

This gen been kinda boring

[weary ocean]

I use ReWASD to bind the pedals on the back of my controller so that I can talk while flying in GTA RP. I have never had an issue launching BF2042 with ReWASD installed but was blocked from playing today. I uninstalled ReWASD and I’m not too pressed about the fact that I can’t do both, though it would be nice to not have to worry.

Why did it suddenly decide to start blocking it when others have reported this since 2024? I see others have had the same issue but it makes me worried about my account.

[simple elk]

wish I kept my PS1 and 2

collectors items

[pine karma]

I got a 60GB Frank mod

PlayStation 3

[faint bobcat]

This to me is unclear, it popped up suddenly, I both had reWASD and played 2042 for over a year

[simple elk]

I need to get a bigger HD than what PS5 came with.. .all the games I get is like 100+ gigs

delete, install, play, delete, reinstall, play... over and over

[pine karma]

Amazon sell decent one's Corsair 1TB for £55.00

[weary ocean]

Yeah, it’s just weird and worrisome that it seemed to randomly be like “no, you can’t play with this open” when others have been blocked from doing so for far longer.

[simple elk]

I heard about that Delta Force game... like 100+ gigs, and sucks....

I need a TB

[pine karma]

A youtuber said he could barely play it due to it causing him Nausea 😵

[simple elk]

Yea... not good critics on it

I almost paid the $10 for the preorder

[faint bobcat]

It wasn't even on, AC mightve looked for some kind of registry entry. Either way, requires an update. Either EA Jav Team or Daemon Tools team have to step in and reach out to the other. Ive written that in feedback form of reWASD too

[pine karma]

Yeah quite a popular youtuber aswell. He was on ps5 and said it's terrible running more or less 40fps

[simple elk]

and then it has like 10 trophies

[pine karma]

It's a chinese game so you can only assume they'll favoritism the pc players

[summer frigate]

I've been playing delta force. It's better on pc than it is on console. It's still better than CoD, and the youtuber who said it made him woozy was a CoD youtuber who was hopping, skipping, and jumping around like his life depended on it.

[simple elk]

different game though... back to BF .... I been playing a lot of bot games just to earn BF pass XP ... couple months left.. .so... gonna be trying to unlock what I can for the BF6 items... just to have them. I already have the beta items, and the pre-order items... but I have a curious quistion about account items.

If I delete 2042... I dont need the game on my system to get the unlocks right? .. they are account bound?

[pine karma]

Account Bound

[summer frigate]

Account bound, and if you run the same account on multiple platforms, everything is linked.

What I do on my xbox will transfer over to my ps5 and vice versa.

[simple elk]

figured that... because all my other BF games were like that... just wanted to make sure, because I need room to download both BF6, and also the new NASCAR game from iRacing thats coming out in October\

[pine karma]

Too Many good game's coming soon 😭

[simple elk]

new racing game in november too

[summer frigate]

HELL LET LOOSE VIETNAM BABY!

[summer frigate]

Not sure how I feel about that one. Got burned by Project Cars in the past.

[simple elk]

project motor racing i think its called

[pine karma]

Forza has ruined all racing games for me

[buoyant gulch]

when do weeklys reset

[simple elk]

i have forza 5 for ps5... i enjoy it

[pine karma]

Yeah it's too good. Toyota Supra sound

[simple elk]

i enjoy any racing games...

bad or good

[pine karma]

I have a ps5 but still haven't played GT7

I know that's criminal

[simple elk]

I lost interest in GTA since like 2 or 3

[lofty fox]

anyone play the A-10 or Frogfoot yet

[quick kraken]

2 more points and i can stop for the week......

i will have gotten 10 tiers from xp.....

[obtuse moat]

I'm trying to figure out the best way to complete the free pass. If there are 55 points from each weeks challenges and 7 weeks, thats only 38.5 tiers. Where do you get the other tiers from?

[simple elk]

from playing more

XP

[obtuse moat]

How much XP is needed per tier?

[simple elk]

if you go ti missions progress it says the xp needed... to do the math for every level... idk

[obtuse moat]

Oh I see, I'm at 3700/5000 currently

So you need more xp for each point as you earn more?

It wont always be 5k per point?

[white ginkgo]

im at like 17 or something already like 9k per

[obtuse moat]

I havent played more than a couple games of 2042 so far, I just want the bf6 rewards and I'm trying to optimize for it

[simple elk]

no... im at tier 12 needing 8k xp now

[delicate marsh]

I got ps5 in 2020 just to play VI and its not out 💀

[simple elk]

2020? ... and you havent played any game yet?

[delicate marsh]

I only plat ragnarok

[simple elk]

read that wrong... sorry

[delicate marsh]

Been gaming on pc maily

[simple elk]

Im a PS gamer... only game on the desktop I play is Ultima Online and Eve

But Im on a Mac too

[delicate marsh]

Get you a steam deck

U dont need pc

[simple elk]

Only steam game I play is Albion Online

[orchid tusk]

SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[simple elk]

uhm... ok she

[orchid tusk]

IT

[simple elk]

Pennywise

[orchid tusk]

you got the wrong clown

[dark bone]

what day of the week do new missions drop?

[simple elk]

I cant even do the weekly 1000 damage with incendiary grenades because i need lvl 42... only 37 ... hoping to get to lvl 42 before this weekly mission is up just to get the 6 extra points.... i been making up those points playing versus bots

[orchid tusk]

not sure but incin grenades on vehicles probably will help you too...most people attach them to 3rd seat brawlers

bozo would

[sour meadow]

nothing but L's tonight

[obtuse moat]

Yea i just started and I'm only level 11, super annoying that I can't do the challenge

[sour meadow]

the amount of knuckle-scraping, mouth breathing, baby-bib wearing fucknuts on my team is astounding

entire team is getting clowned on by 2 stealth helis for the whole match

i switch to lis and kill both in like 40 seconds

like are you for real

i'm so fucking tired of playing engineer in this game

because if i don't, it's such a huge detriment because of how many fucking vehicles there are

the amount of vehicle spam is unreal

and if left unchecked, they'll just eat your entire team

there's literally no point in playing any other class than engineer in 2042 unless you're on an infantry map

holy christ the wait for bf6 just got longer

[quick kraken]

XP, so basically you need to get ~3 tiers per week from XP

[arctic grove]

Cause the vehicles are just too fucking strong in this game even if you have a squad dedicated to anti vehicle so no one bothers with it and would rather let other vehicles do that, it’s the games fault no the players

[orchid tusk]

whats really funny is your team probably had 60 percent plus engineers when you switched to Lis

[placid ravine]

Thought i saw something about double xp, is it a weekend thing?

[obtuse moat]

I keep seeing that there are xp portal modes, what's the best way to get xp in those? Any specific game modes/settings?

[sour meadow]

man idc how unfinished bf6 is

[quick kraken]

Even in XP farm modes, you are hard limited on how much XP you earn

[sour meadow]

i'd rather play that than 2042

[quick kraken]

I think the max people are earning with minmax xp farming is ~27k ish

If youre at all semi decent and dont want to go insane just play iwo jima or similar small maps

because the xp farming modes are 40 minutes of pure nothing basically

(xp farm modes were nerfed like week 2 or 3)

(of the games launch)

[obtuse moat]

Honestly im not opposed to boring grinding, I just wanna optimize completing the pass

[quick kraken]

realistically just make sure youre hitting your 3 tiers a week

you dont need to xp farm unless you start late

[gilded crystal]

Whats the best gun in BF2042?

[quick kraken]

3 xp tiers that is

[quasi snow]

Honestly 2042 is literally so boring 🥱 just trying to get this pass done and I’m tossing this game to the hidden bin

[weary mortar]

Just do all of the weekly challenges, and get your daily win bonus everyday and you should clear the pass before BF6 launch.

[quick kraken]

xp per point goes up the more you earn (starts at 5k, goes up i think basically infinitely)

[arctic grove]

Hell yeah

[quick kraken]

when we get double xp thats when youll want to do your actual grinding

[obtuse moat]

How much xp do you get from the daily win?

[quick kraken]

I feel you

I wanted this game to be good so bad but it was not to be

[arctic grove]

People are just playing for the pass, nobody cares about this shit ass game

Watch it die the second most people manage to finish it

[weary mortar]

10k or smthn, idk

[pale marlin]

they shouldve brought the pass to BF4 instead, change my mind;

[obtuse moat]

That would've been awesome

[orchid tusk]

itll die quite a bit before most people even finish it

{Jacko eating popcorn}

[karmic oasis]

https://x.com/Wario64/status/1958579661144990171?t=urwAvpdgsjlmUuqniSeoWQ&s=19

the game is on sale now on steam, its only 3 bucks

[weary mortar]

i was slightly mistaken, it's first match of the day, not first win.

[agile willow]

ye just got it yesterday

also preorderd 6 but did it bf i got 2042 so now it constantly pops up

[quick kraken]

probably

tbh i wish it was something like 'earn score/xp on any battlefield game'

within reason

[pale marlin]

or just play for a certain amount of time, leave my pc on over the weekened 😴

[empty edge]

alright I'm enlisting three of you to play hazard zone with me since the actual hazard zone channel is dead. Who's in

[arctic grove]

I’d rather jump off a bridge

[empty edge]

same that's why I need three people

[arctic grove]

[empty edge]

I swear I'm never gonna get that achievement

[quick kraken]

the last time hazard zone was active was launch week

[empty edge]

its still active, but the people who are playing are giga sweats with teams of 4.

doing the same thing, going for the achievement

[quick kraken]

ive done it

finally..... my 10 xp tiers for the week are done

[pale marlin]

what's the acheivement

[quick kraken]

now i need to do it 1 more week and i dont have to grind again

[quick kraken]

theres 2

3 srry

[cedar valley]

I got bf2042 on EA. Is there any way to bring it to my steam library?

[quick kraken]

extract 25 times, extract 50 drives, complete an extract with no deaths

[pale marlin]

gotcha

[empty edge]

I have the last two, I just need to extract like 10 more times

and then I have like 2 more achievements left, then I will have platinum

[fallen phoenix]

how long will this battleplass take to complete

[quick kraken]

a while

[pale marlin]

about a week before bf6 comes outs

[quick kraken]

You get 5 and a half tiers worth of points from the challenges (assuming you do the bonus weekly) and there's 7 weeks, so 38.5 tiers worth of challenges. have to backfill the last 21.5 with xp, and it disincentivizes you from grinding too much per week by scaling the amount of points you get with xp

[fallen phoenix]

dayum

im like lvl 11 rn

[quick kraken]

basically, every week you should be earning at least 9 tiers

[fallen phoenix]

do the challeneges help it along much?

[quick kraken]

the challenges are over half of your progression so yes

[fallen phoenix]

aight

[reef cedar]

did they like delete the menu music in the latest update

this shit is crazy

[upper nest]

Are master key attachments up yet?

[pale marlin]

im only at 22, this gonna take ages, i want to play bf4 instead of this damn boring grind 😩

[quick kraken]

if youre at 22 youre way over your quota
