battlefield-2042

[tardy hill]

btw small question, what tier do i have to be to not worry about doing any other grinding other than challenges if i had finished week 1 of challenges

[indigo portal]

I just like TDM for the pace of the games and short matches. Farming vehicles gets old

[tardy hill]

cuz atm im at like tier 14

[pale marlin]

look at this list

[naive condor]

So i just gotta play my best
I'll keep that in mind
Thanks again

[stone pewter]

The grind is not worth these skins bruh

[pale marlin]

my grind says otherwise

[deft tinsel]

the ac9 shreds even in medium distance jfc 😭

[chrome beacon]

do yall just recommend the SWS sniper until NTW or should i use something else? for around 300m engagements

[remote kiln]

sws is a good sniper yes

[tardy hill]

so basically around tier 27?

[marble kernel]

do i really have to read a guide on how to report someone for harassment in the discord? xD

[remote kiln]

also 30 degree weather on a bank holiday next week should be a crime

[deft tinsel]

wdym until ntw? that thing is NOT useful for around 300m engagements

[marble kernel]

most servers let you just do it lol

[pale marlin]

i think it was lv 30, if you only want to do challenges, can't find the post that mentioned that.

[marble kernel]

thats not the same as reporting someone for a server issue. moderators will ban people who harass others.

[remote kiln]

the moderators on here are officially paid EA staff, there are no volunteers

[indigo portal]

Ive seen casper and blasco rake in points via assists, playing aggressively holding a roof or forward area next to the enemies current spawn can really stack points. My 3 stack normally runs a medic, recon, and assault and clean up getting ~800 points each on a good game, with one od my friends only getting like 10 kills but still 600+ points

[marble kernel]

so therefore they wont moderate their own server? xD

[remote kiln]

they will, you just need to file a ticket for it

[indigo portal]

SWS or GOL tbh

[tardy hill]

jesus christ

[marble kernel]

ill pass. its a shame they dont care to moderate their server without bs.

[indigo portal]

They are definitely not EA staff, they're external contractors (source: worked for one of the contractor companies as a kid)

[tardy hill]

how long will it usually take to grind to get to tier 30

[remote kiln]

https://imgur.com/a/QC2mDph this is what it looks like on mobile incase you want to go ahead

[pale marlin]

this post,

[primal wharf]

Put in a ticket and they will moderate it. Take 0 brain power

[pale marlin]

too long, but i would suggest not going too hard and make it an unhealthy thing 😂
you still have a full month

[remote kiln]

https://imgur.com/a/dJ9osrJ that is for a individual user

[indigo portal]

Its best to grind the xp now because the bubbles will be worth more when the reset happens

it costs more xp every 10 levels, so getting a head start makes the bubbles consume more xp that you dont have to grind

[remote kiln]

^

[pale marlin]

that's if exp needed is reset

[remote kiln]

it's not

[indigo portal]

Every reset will give you 10 levels of bubbles

Thereabouts

[remote kiln]

xp requirements regarding scaling do not reset per week and stay the same

[pale marlin]

ah, i misunderstood, thought it was exp reset, and not just the new weeklies

[indigo portal]

Ill get the a10 basically for free on monday

Takes like an hour to do the weeklies

[wheat mesa]

does the x2 applies to the xp quests for bubbles

[remote kiln]

no, weekly xp from missions are not doubled, only xp earned ingame

[indigo portal]

^

The x2 xp does help considerably with grinding tho

[wheat mesa]

ah ok.

[remote kiln]

2042 having 70k players on steam rn is extremely surprising tbh

[deft tinsel]

sometimes you're just placed in a team which is beyond hopeless 😭

[arctic grove]

tier 21, I keep torturing myself with this hell

[marble kernel]

weird how theres no option to say why youre reporting but ok… ty for your help.

[remote kiln]

np

[naive condor]

Good information
I got a friend thats trying to get the bf6 skins with me I'll try doing this with him
Thank you

[marble kernel]

saying i got a voice changer and calling me names. like dog its not my fault youve never met women 😭⚰️🕊️

[remote kiln]

some people on the internet are just sad loners

I need to put on an English accent more often than not cause people have no clue what I'm saying

[marble kernel]

just accept my answer as no and dont call me names. wtf.

[remote kiln]

hard Glaswegian cursed

[marble kernel]

im sorry you have to do that.

[remote kiln]

I'm used to it dw, need to do it whenever I travel to England anyways

it's that good most thought I'm from there so it works

[finite bay]

Wait so

[hearty basin]

what's the difference between handling and accuracy?

[finite bay]

If you get to level 27 and then do the weekly challenges you’re done??

[remote kiln]

handling = recoil accuracy = bloom

[arctic grove]

if anything was proven by this pass is that they need to start rewarding actual useful play like support and attacking vehicles and stop rewarding stupid shit like the casper drone just pinging people

[orchid tusk]

isn't handling accuracy when not ads and moving and such?

[finite bay]

What if I’m at level 30 but I’ve done already week one challenges??

[hearty basin]

ah okay, is it worth it to go -5 accuracy and -5 range for +90 rate of fire and + 5 handling on the rm68?

[finite bay]

No

[remote kiln]

rm68 is a high ROF weapon already, you don't need higher, this will impact your engagement at distances, so the answer is no

[hearty basin]

alright thanks

[finite bay]

RM68 is goated cause accurate

[remote kiln]

accuracy when not ads is hipfire spread, that is affected by lasers

[finite bay]

No need to have more ROF

[remote kiln]

there are barrels which penalise movement during firing etc so it purely depends

[marble kernel]

anyone know why 2042 keeps crashing due to directx? very annoying.

[remote kiln]

windows 11?

[marble kernel]

yeah haha

[remote kiln]

check your windows update history, make sure you do not have KB5063878 installed, if you do, uninstall it and reboot the machine, and verify the game files, this update is causing corruption issues on drives

[orchid tusk]

so what is the difference?

[marble kernel]

great, thank you. my pc did recently update :)

[remote kiln]

no worries

[dreamy agate]

No matter how hard I try, I can't play Battlefield 2042, it's too bad.

[remote kiln]

hipfire spread is the cone of angle where bullet dispersion can occur, dispersion via ADSing is different as this is affected at distance (relative to the % bloom engagement chance)

[orchid tusk]

does hipfire spread fall under handling then you're saying?

[marble kernel]

same i dont know how to improve.

[foggy vapor]

Yo, my Ping is so high that it doesn't even tell me i have high ping. Literally everyone is moving a quarter of a frame. I can even hit a tank.

[remote kiln]

yes, well, depends on the weapon

if you use a semi auto shotgun for example and hold down the trigger the lower recoil means your "spread dispersion" is lower due to a lower kick per shot etc

[dreamy agate]

The game is very poorly made, it's incredible the difference between Battlefield 6 or Battlefield 5 and Battlefield 2042, it literally looks like 2042 was made by apes

[remote kiln]

the actual cone doesn't change, but because there's lower innate recoil, the kick effect is reduced

[marble kernel]

i think it feels great, some of the tighest shooting ever.

[remote kiln]

unfortunately 2042 has a in engine bug which causes input delay which will never be fixed

[sinful cave]

input feels worse for me on bf6 with a 9800x3D makes no sense

[foggy vapor]

Btw, the Lynx sucks. I takes 5 bullets to finally hit a standing still target.

[dreamy agate]

And why is it that it requires more CPU than Battlefield 6? I don't understand. I suppose it's due to optimization, right?

[remote kiln]

no, battlefield 2042 has a mass capacity of 128 players, so in effect, at a baseline, this means an entity has double the requirements on processor power, the maps are also much, much, bigger, which means things like draw distances are much bigger and what not

[dreamy agate]

In the Battlefield 6 beta my CPU was around 60 percent, 70 percent at most, now in Battlefield 2042 it doesn't go below 80 percent, sometimes even 90 percent, it's crazy.

[placid fractal]

I’m tired boss

[remote kiln]

it's just a strictly more difficult game to run as the game was supposed to be a battle royale in the beginning and the maps are huge as a result

[dreamy agate]

What madness for such a bad game hahaha

[finite bay]

Bruh

[tardy hill]

btw does the double xp weekend apply for portal

[remote kiln]

yeah this game has been through probably what you would describe as hell even during when they redesigned half the maps in seasons, it's a miracle the game is even in a playable state all things considered

[marble kernel]

bruh is a word

[remote kiln]

yes

[finite bay]

BF3’s gunplay is better than every other BF’s to this day btw, that feels good not this sloppy trash cod/apex wanna be of a fps, sorry

[marble kernel]

i havent played another bf.

[tardy hill]

i am blessed

[dreamy agate]

Yes, seeing how it works, I understand perfectly what you mean.

[remote kiln]

probably one of the worst in the franchise due to suppression but eh

[tardy hill]

time for casual xp grind on redacted

[finite bay]

Well I knew that already, it’s ok

[violet cipher]

I think a lot of it is luck with the size of maps

[marble kernel]

no you didnt.

[remote kiln]

no point shaming someone for not playing another battlefield game

[marble kernel]

exactly.

[finite bay]

I’m not

[violet cipher]

I would try bf4 :D

[finite bay]

I said it’s ok

[marble kernel]

then whats your point?

[finite bay]

Don’t know what you’re talking about tbh

[violet cipher]

Is it similar to 4? That's the farthest back in time I've gone

[marble kernel]

of course not.

[worthy atlas]

some people just get triggered

[remote kiln]

it's just a odd thing to say that's all

[dreamy agate]

I will return to Battlefield 1 I am happy there 😂

[finite bay]

Kinda but it feels just so good in terms of shooting

[marble kernel]

my friend said i should! i havent played it. i do own it though.

[finite bay]

Like actually shooting a real weapon

[remote kiln]

I would advise anyone wanting to play battlefield 6 to play 4, it is the closest in terms of franchise alignment

battlefield 2042 and battlefield 6 are very different games on basically every mechanic

[dreamy agate]

No Battlefield has that feeling, I can tell you, I was a soldier.

[finite bay]

Bruh

[remote kiln]

yeah he's right

[marble kernel]

innit lol

[finite bay]

I mean clearly

[remote kiln]

the guns in this franchise half of them aren't even real or don't exist and/or are abstracted

[finite bay]

But if you compare the shooting of BF3 to the other BFs at least you’re not using nerf guns

[dreamy agate]

The only game today that closely resembles reality is Arma or Squad

[finite bay]

Gunplay is fun

[remote kiln]

that's because the M16 was the best gun in history lol

[waxen edge]

A little niche but would the lynx or railgun be better for aa?

[remote kiln]

lynx is really bad, railgun can be used for anti air, but difficult to do so

[finite bay]

Nah all guns are nice to use

M16 just stands out for me

[waxen edge]

Thanks

[warm stirrup]

Anybody know why i can't host a server in portal?

[dreamy agate]

It has nothing to do with real life, weapons behave in very different ways and not only because of the weapon itself, many factors come into play.

[warm stirrup]

Is portal bugged?

[remote kiln]

id be careful with that because I can absolutely name you weapons which sucked or were horrible to use

[finite bay]

Yeah right for sure there are some guns that are ass, I’m speaking in terms of feeling

While shooting

[ember mirage]

i have bf2042 nostalgia

[obsidian tide]

Instead, the ||Bofors Defense Rifle "The Prototype"|| was.

[finite bay]

Not necessarily about performance

[indigo portal]

hush you lmao

[remote kiln]

pecheneg was a horrible gun to use for feeling

mp443 also did

etc

[finite bay]

BF6 guns are nice to use

I hate the pistol though, feels like plastic

Hope they improve it at launch

[zealous bridge]

Yo

Theres 1v1s in this game i wanna 1v1 my friend can i ?

[indigo portal]

the sig in the beta was unironically the worst pistol in the last decade of pistols besides the kolibri

[zealous bridge]

Like a private match

[remote kiln]

you can set up a portal server and do it yourself

[zealous bridge]

Thanks

[obsidian tide]

Lynx had its bullet spread dispersion when ADS removed, so now its scope sway on recoil is the only felt sway. Shots will now always be on target.

For BF6, though, guns were fine, but unlike past games, pistol calibers were made much weaker than rifles. Including SMGs, which usually got balanced to be better than ARs in prior titles.

[ember mirage]

why is bf20422 good

[finite bay]

Kolibri was legit

[marble kernel]

best assault rifle?

[remote kiln]

ak5c probably

[limber kayak]

F2000

[finite bay]

90/99 with martini and finish move with the kolibri

[remote kiln]

once the master key returns it will absolutely be the best

[finite bay]

Goated combo

[marble kernel]

i wasnt a fan of the f2. ak5c i seem to either wreck or fail with xD

i think m16a3 is awesome

[remote kiln]

ak5c requires a specific combination to use right otherwise it dominates at mid range

if you don't like those, use the acwr

[finite bay]

Ak-74, ak5c, m16, aek, f2000

[remote kiln]

41 round mag, great for up close, good at mid range etc

[finite bay]

RM68 too

Good rifle

[zealous bridge]

Whats the best guns in this game to use ? ( im new at the game )

[finite bay]

SFAR is nice too but I personally hate it

[remote kiln]

sfar too yeah

always my go-to gun if I'm on open maps

[finite bay]

Can’t stand that shit, insane damage to the head

And no recoil

[zealous bridge]

Chat whats good ar for beginners someone give me a name

[remote kiln]

default ar is very good

[finite bay]

Ak-74, M5A1

[zealous bridge]

Thanks yall I’m ready to get shit on

[marble kernel]

may i ask what that is?

[arctic grove]

I was wondering why no one shot my soflam and apparently it's bugged... people cant see your soflam tags

[indigo portal]

specifically high power ammo

[marble kernel]

hmm… il go farm beginner redacted t get it then ty XD

[remote kiln]

high power extended is what you should be using as the default load out, this amplifies damage at range, if you are in close engagements then close combat ammo should be switched to as the RPM of the weapon increases, in terms of attachments the thermal scope is my second choice for target acquisition and 1.25x halo, champion muzzle break for barrel and when the masterkey returns, that as the equippable bottom

[lofty fox]

holy shit Blasco is INSANE for XP farming

[indigo portal]

I'm driving so I can't go in depth but high power is better TTK than CQB ammo at any range

[lofty fox]

66k xp in just one match of CQ Breakthrough

[remote kiln]

nah I'm meaning for non ADSing hipfire in this situation (extreme CQB)

[finite bay]

Gonna try that

Spamming the no spot gadget

[indigo portal]

id still takw faster ttk and one less bullet to kill

[outer charm]

Bro why is the game running so slow on launch, I just had a directx error. Bf6 ran great i have a 5070 ti lol

[remote kiln]

try the tugs aswell 🙂

[remote kiln]

fair I just find extended reload time fucks me over in close situations tbh

[lofty fox]

find someway to get behind them then put blasco device and the TUG right next to each other

[finite bay]

So much trash stuff in this game

It’s insane

[slender drum]

Elaborate

[indigo portal]

deagle my beloved

[marble kernel]

i never understood why devs make meta items. as a halo player im just like… you know how easy this is to solve right. lol

[finite bay]

Play a match on 2042 and you’ll get answered

[tardy hill]

holy shit

[marble kernel]

its safe to assume they did. maybe just answer?

[tardy hill]

did you get the rest of the valours or did you just entirely spam the blasco gadget

[finite bay]

Nah too long to write

[marble kernel]

ok.

🤷‍♀️

[finite bay]

Whole game is based on some weird ass specialist gadgets

And weird stuff

[indigo portal]

me angy

why

too long

peak bf community

[desert lynx]

its better now after i played for abit

[violet cipher]

I'm really happy the newer bf games have faster sniper bullet speed

[finite bay]

That’s a quick way to describe it

[desert lynx]

my kdr is finally getting positive average

[rustic lake]

can someone explain the 3 tier modification system

[remote kiln]

ak5c is in a weird spot as it does not have masterkey access atm, this makes it one of the strongest ars in the game for any engagement distance, but it lags rn since it's disabled

[indigo portal]

UGL incendiary >>>

[remote kiln]

nowhere near as good as the masterkey 🤣

[finite bay]

What do you mean by “masterkey” if I may ask?

[remote kiln]

masterkey is a under barrel shotgun

[finite bay]

I don’t get it

[finite bay]

Oh right ok

Never used underbarrel shotguns once so idk what that is

[marble kernel]

true xD

[violet cipher]

From what I can tell right now after a few hours is, the first squares closest to the gun/center is attached automatically. Then the other squares you can just swap to whenever you want.

Top is sights, left is barrel, bottom is underbarrel or grips, and right is ammo :D

[finite bay]

[remote kiln]

basically, it's a literal shotgun attachment for ars

[finite bay]

Yeah yeah I get it I know what that is

[remote kiln]

the masterkey can one shot up to 10 meters which means it turns ars into excellent all rounders for any engagement distance

[violet cipher]

It's master key good? Haven't tried it yet

[dull scroll]

Anyone want to squad up

[remote kiln]

yes you can't try it right now since it's globally disabled

[placid fractal]

Hardcore is where it’s at

[violet cipher]

Really? Damn

I'll try it out at home

[remote kiln]

you can't lol

[ember mirage]

im tired of iwo jima

[rustic lake]

like even out in the field?

[plain basalt]

What should I play to try and enjoy this game? Only on it for the free pass but it’s unbearably boring

[remote kiln]

the masterkey is turned off entirely since you could shoot down jets and helicopters etc due to a damage bug

[finite bay]

Iwo Jima💀 😭

[young panther]

are there any portal 128player modes that have no ai for full xp? i cant find any

[finite bay]

That sounds fun

Always best things get nerfed

[pine karma]

Why can't they keep iwo jima 😭

[arctic grove]

Any Portal match will still be rate capped on XP even on full, will just give full up to the rate cap that resets every apparently three minutes.

[finite bay]

Or patched

[remote kiln]

no, not nerfed, it was a damage attenuation issue with the latest patch, it didn't have that before, fixed is the proper term

[finite bay]

Damn

They could have left it like that

Make pilots rage

[elder grotto]

is the game really as bad as they say i only have 1 and V debating on getting this rn

[remote kiln]

if they left it like that nobody would be using wildcats anymore

[finite bay]

And the bad part is..?

[remote kiln]

you could actually destroy tanks aswell but that one was a bit more sophisticated

[finite bay]

Hate the vehicles they op

[pale marlin]

i hate the guns, they kill me too fast,

[finite bay]

Pov: defending in breakthrough on 2042, a damn ram/mav/wildcat gets into the building in a 10x10 meters square room

[minor sundial]

Anti-ground missile is so useless. Genius move to only allow air support to shoot one every 30 secs

[pine karma]

No not as bad. Helicopters if you come across a pro then it's okay game

Helicopters are the only thing that never got fixed properly

[arctic grove]

Nowadays it is quite decent, and at the current sale price it is a steal. There are issues, it is not as great as BF6, but it is enjoyable.

[ember mirage]

battlefield 2042 good

[arctic grove]

2042 is terrible but for 3$ it's worth it, it's an aight shooter but as a bf game it's bad

if you just want a shooter with vehicles it's worth it

[elder grotto]

I have 1 and V should i just stick to those

[finite bay]

Depends

[young panther]

2042 is different to other battlefields its a good game just not battlefield

[finite bay]

People are playing 2042 to unlock bf6 skins which are free

If you don’t care stick with 1

ALL DAY

[arctic grove]

depends, can you afford 3$ and do you want to try it ?

[wintry schooner]

Anyone wanna squad up?

[arctic grove]

if so get 2042 otherwise stay on 1 and 5

[remote kiln]

just to remind folk that the unlocks per stage for battlefield 6 are actually 4 things per tier, not 1

[arctic grove]

be aware that 90% of people are going to stop playing it once the pass event ends

[finite bay]

Saw that wonder what other stuff they give us

[elder grotto]

i could but i feel like that playerbase will be gone when bf6 drops

[tardy hill]

btw why am i getting the global game quote exceeded

[finite bay]

Oh buddy rest assured it will

[arctic grove]

game used to barely be at 5-7k players and only got up to 70k cause of the pass

[tardy hill]

is it cuz the battlefield servers are at their limit?

[arctic grove]

otherwise no one would be playing 2042

bf6 is just gonna straight up kill 2042

bf1 is going to survive cause of the nostalgia, bf5 maybe too, not sure

[finite bay]

BF6 is gonna kill the fps scene for a few months

Not only 2042

Imo

[tardy hill]

they had to make the pass unskipable so they can shove more bulshit down our throat

[finite bay]

Can’t wait

[arctic grove]

I really like bf6 but i don't think it's gonna be that special

[tardy hill]

imo its a breath of fresh air from the movement sweats

[arctic grove]

I would legit pay 10-20$ to skip that shit now

I'm tier 22 and it's just taking too long

I hate the 2042 gameplay

[tardy hill]

god damn

[finite bay]

Good luck at level 29 you will need 23k xp for a point

[quick kraken]

I'm at 24.6

[tardy hill]

im still at like 13

[arctic grove]

taking me like 13k xp per point

[quick kraken]

Luckily I only need 2.4 tiers to be done with XP grinding totally

[pale marlin]

31

[quick kraken]

since if you're at 27 this week you've gotten all 21.5 xp tiers

[finite bay]

How much xp is it for a point?

Does it still increase?

[arctic grove]

it keeps increasing

[pale marlin]

wait im 29, its at 24,000

[arctic grove]

the more points you get via xp the more it increases

[finite bay]

Yeah that’s where I am too

[lofty fox]

the A-10 is a pipe dream 💀

[finite bay]

Frogfoot too

[lofty fox]

frogfoot doesn't exist

that shit is impossible

[finite bay]

Nah

It exists cause the two skins that have aura are after it soooo

[chrome beacon]

is being at pass tier 17 good progress?

[finite bay]

The grind shall never stop

[tardy hill]

dude i don't want to match with sweats cuz ea couldn't make localized server hosting since im getting the global bulshit

oh well

[finite bay]

Just make sure to complete the weekly challenges

[lofty fox]

I have NOT seen a SINGLE A-10 or Frogfoot in game yet

[finite bay]

No need to rush, I’m grinding cause once I’m finished I can finally throw this game in the toilet

[lofty fox]

why does the frogfoot skin look so insanely good compared to the A-10 😭

[tardy hill]

btw whats your strat on getting stupid amounts of xp

[finite bay]

Majority of player reached f2000 just today

[lofty fox]

TUG + Blasco device

• killing anyone you see

[tardy hill]

lvl 33 😭

[arctic grove]

OMFG same please god

I want to delete this garbage from my pc

[lofty fox]

f2000?

[finite bay]

I just play support on breakthrough, I rev everyone and push obj like a madman getting kills

[tardy hill]

tbh ill do the recon+support strat

[finite bay]

And give out heals and ammo

[tardy hill]

if fuckass battlefield doesn't crash on me again

[arctic grove]

Making people play 2042 should be used as means to make people reveal information in interrogations

[finite bay]

Yeah the AR at level 23

[lofty fox]

ohh lmfao anyways wanna join me in XP grinding

[remote kiln]

they do 🙂

[finite bay]

Im in bed its 3am where I live right now

Sorry

Gotta get some sleep before starting the grind again tomorrow

[tardy hill]

dude battlefield crashing on me cuz i use amd is going to make me fucking crack my monitor

[finite bay]

I feel so pathetic…

Thanks DICE for the last present on 2042’s lifespan

Much appreciated

[arctic grove]

idk why EA is so inclined in always making their reputation "GREED" even on free stuff

[rustic lake]

M44 vs BFP .50

[arctic grove]

like come on bruh for once just give us some fun free things, you're still getting billions of $ from bf6

[finite bay]

BFP50 is faster but I think it has slightly less damage

[arctic grove]

bf6 skins are gonna sell like hot cakes

[worn jungle]

Yup if they can’t have our money they gotta steal our time

[finite bay]

M44 is for chads

I just don’t get why increasing the xp after every level

It makes no sense

[arctic grove]

because it wastes our time

and increases player count for longer

It's EA

Now i'm certain the bf6 passes are going to be just as grindy and I'm already burnt out

[finite bay]

Basically once I complete week 2 missions I should be around level 40

[arctic grove]

i'm probably not gonna do them and I won't give them any more money

[finite bay]

And then what? Like 35k xp for a single point? Nahh

[arctic grove]

I was willing to buy passes for 10$ but if it's always this grindy...

I have a theory

they're gonna make the bf6 passes just as hard

BUT you will be able to buy a 25 tier shortcut with a 30$ pass like cod

[finite bay]

I mean as long as it’s BF6 it’s way funnier than grinding on 2042

[arctic grove]

so you can only do missions and no xp if you buy the more expensive one

[finite bay]

The issue is grinding a very hard pass on 2042

[arctic grove]

I just hate having to maximise my gameplay cause then it's just like cod where everyone plays for xp instead of for fun

[neat hemlock]

WTF IS ONE DOT IN BP 20K XP BRO AND WE ARE ON DOUBLE XP RN TS IS SO ASS

[finite bay]

Not really the hard pass itself

[finite bay]

Welcome

[arctic grove]

[finite bay]

23k xp in a couple levels

[arctic grove]

every time i see someone here that realizes the pass is garbage levels of grind

[rain violet]

BFP generally is better, laser for better hipfire and way faster rate of fire. M44 however if you're accurate will dome people in one shot out to 100m

[worn jungle]

And the sooner you reach 27 the better because if you don’t and then you do new challenges then it will just be harder

Bfp so much better for close range

[arctic grove]

no apparently the xp requirement only increase when you gain points, not by tier

[worn jungle]

Oh huh

[arctic grove]

but still yeah do it now and forget about it and just do missions

[orchid tusk]

evidently haven't played div2...😂

[finite bay]

All this only for that chinese gas mask

[arctic grove]

is this why the gunplay feels oddly like garbage compared to other shooters ?

[finite bay]

Worth it

[worn jungle]

Div2 was cool for awhile

[young panther]

i must have the chinese gas mask

[remote kiln]

yes

[arctic grove]

damn

[orchid tusk]

wtf u talkin bout div2 is hot for looooooooooooooooooooooooooooong time

[finite bay]

And for the final skin too tbh, aura

[arctic grove]

I didn't know what the issue was but something feels oddly off with 2042, guess i got my answer 🥀

[violet otter]

I think this is the lowest recoil F2000 I’ve used in any game

[worn jungle]

Yes it’s still cool but I mean for me personally, after awhile I didn’t wanna play anymore lol

[finite bay]

F2000 and P90 are two guns that look like they got delivered by an UFO

Love them

AUG too

[tardy hill]

dude this fuckass battlefield game loves to freeze my game and then brick my pc

[finite bay]

2042 masterclass

[arctic grove]

[tardy hill]

devs casually bricking your pc cuz you use old amd, casual ea ✅

plus this issue persists in bf6

[ember mirage]

what amd gpu

[tardy hill]

7900xtx

[ember mirage]

thats not old

[tardy hill]

no intergrated graphics btw

[quick kraken]

2 more points and i can finally be done for the day

i should be able to get 26-27 tmrw

[tardy hill]

whats ur strat on high levels for tiers

[quick kraken]

i just play iwo jima

[tardy hill]

that simple?

[quick kraken]

yup

portal xp farms are boring and you get less xp than a good round of iwo jima

[tardy hill]

tbh i just don't like dealing with the casual movement sweats ingame

[hearty basin]

Just play the game for xp bro

[tardy hill]

literally what im doing

[violet otter]

I’m just doing breakthrough playlist so I don’t get bored

[young panther]

how is everyone leveling up so quick im only getting like 4 points per game

[quick kraken]

a conservative xp estimate per game is around 10k

double it for double xp

if youre good you can get 25-35k

[pale marlin]

glitching the heli mode for 25 a game

[analog tapir]

Did anyone's else's account just get wiped back down to level 0?

[pale marlin]

nope

[neon pagoda]

im level 30 in free pass guys, am i behind or ?
it takes 24k xp per progress point

[versed wadi]

Does anyone want to join me on xbox to do conquest w attack heli?

[pale marlin]

you need to be at least 45 before next week,

[versed wadi]

Any takers?

[orchid tusk]

i was just joking that their passes seem even grindier! and some of the missions....yeeesh.

[neat hemlock]

yes

idk what happened

had to restart from zero

[analog tapir]

Is there a way to not start from zero. I'd rather not just brush off like 50 hours of game progress

[neat hemlock]

i dont think soo

[quick kraken]

T25.....

[modern vine]

Anyone know how to get the annoying thing off side of my screen with damage dealt player and shots fired

[glass lichen]

anyone know why chat doesn't work properly? there's only team and squad?

[vital quail]

enable all chat in settings

[spark plover]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VvGWmCC6cA

im getting this issue in the map selector where the map starts glitching out is this a game issue because the game runs fine couldnt be my gpu what is this

[modern vine]

I’m kiss my keyboard in a minute with my head

[fresh grail]

Queue for IWO JIMA... connect. Attacker. LEAVE. Queue for IWO JIMA... conect. Attacker. LEAVE. Queue for IWO JIMA... connect. Attacker. LEAVE. Queue for IWO JIMA... conect. Attacker. LEAVE

[modern vine]

Iwo Jima on hc is boss

[orchid tusk]

scoreboard is wack..just sayin' again

not having one at first was tacit ack

hope they can fix it

but maybe not their fault they won't

[quick kraken]

attacker is goated doe

just bring a cav with CDS

[old mirage]

I've got orders finally

[orchid tusk]

y you want defend so bad on that map?

[old rune]

need bit help so i installed bf2042 on steam but it doesnt show up on ea launcher so everytime i run it it closes the game and validate on steam

[old mirage]

Well, we must grind in 2042 till october and deal with all threats

Convoy are in 2 mikes ahead

Get ready for extraction

[final relic]

damn why is this free pass sooo grindy?

[pale marlin]

so EA's investors can see that BF is "alive and well" by forcing us to play more

[placid fractal]

All I need is lvl 49. I’m at 13. I’ll never get there

[fast nacelle]

I'm at tier 30, and it takes 25500 exp to get 1 point now.

[hexed fog]

Just come back weekly for the missions

[placid fractal]

My god. I’m gonna quit my job to get level 60

[pale marlin]

wouldnt put it past them for them to add this pass's items on bf6 release day as DLC,

[fast nacelle]

Pretty sure they said it will be exclusive

[slender robin]

Sitting in these 5 hour farm lobbies all day and still not at 30

[pale marlin]

they also said that BF2042 was a callback to OG battlefield

[fast nacelle]

Just play the game normally and max ribbons. Easy to make 40k in 30 mins.

[final relic]

how much xp does one match of those give? ive never tried it lol

[orchid tusk]

milly

[placid fractal]

Hardcore and DMRs make my pp hard

[fallow estuary]

doing decent in a regular match is much better

[slender robin]

I've been kicked out a few times because of a crash but last time it ended after being back in for a few hours I got over 330k XP

[placid fractal]

But I’m cheeks

[white ginkgo]

bro theres 60 tiers.
theres 60 days.

if you struggle to earn 1 tier a day even at the max cap u honestly dont deserve the rewards that come from playing, why would they want to reward players who literally only play to get the skins and leave?

this encourages people to actually play the game rather than sit and afk farm on portal.

again if 1 tier per ENTIRE 24 HOUR DAY CYCLE is too much for you its a literal skill issue.

[fallow estuary]

play like a scumbag, use recon on small maps and grab a meta smg ✌🏻

its like 50k exp every 20 mins

or 40, depends on how well and if there's a weirdo using the jammer

[lethal fox]

BF players when they cant finish the free battlepass in 1 portal lobby: >:(

[white ginkgo]

on top of that, it gives non sweats AND EVEN sweats the opportunity to have items to grind for to pass the time, keeping engaged, rather than them going "here is all rewards because u played 3 games ok have fun but pls dont get bored in the next 2 days"

[fast nacelle]

The pass isn't meant to be earned in a week. Looks like they are pacing it out for bf6 release

[fallow estuary]

it's just ass that the exp needed goes up as you progress, the dirtiest way to squeeze play time I've seen in a minute

[white ginkgo]

my name is gwiddy and i approve the xp ceiling raising on the (FREE btw) pass

some people really just need stuff to cry about, pass is literally free

[lethal fox]

Here's an idea: If you don't like it don't play :o

[fallow estuary]

nah I've been playing anyway I just think it's an ass model

[lethal fox]

How dare they want to keep players entertained for a prolonged period of time and give them rewards to work towards for free >:( Damn ea

[white ginkgo]

dude cry me a fucking river its free, cod will charge you $30 i bet you wouldnt bat an eye because they played you like a fiddle for your money, is this really what consumers are turning into?? are you REALLY mad that they didnt charge you money?? this is literally the first 100% free without a paid option pass in any game ive ever seen yet yall still want to cry

[fallow estuary]

holy monologue gng

[slender robin]

Just trying to get the pass done before Borderlands while we wait for 6

[white ginkgo]

"holy monologue gng"
yeah i kind of figured you would respond like that.
you seem like the type

[fallow estuary]

prolly in the Reddit

[quick kraken]

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

i got you

[white ginkgo]

and sorry to be an ass @fallow estuary but i really dont understand why you and many others are upset and being required to play the game to earn rewards 😭 it really grinds my brains gears bro

❤️

[tardy hill]

cuz this game is asscheeks and we all want the bf6 skins

[white ginkgo]

im here or the warthog lol

play the game for what it is maybe youll enjoy yoursel a bit more

[lethal fox]

I for one cannot stand when a battlepass is done after like a week, its so annoying to me. I prefer it this way

[pale marlin]

damn, can't imagine anyone actualy liking bf2042

[quick kraken]

tldr btw

Conclusion: Even at only 60 ranks, the time investment will be significant, while the mechanics behind the BP remain opaque and unpredictable. To avoid frustration and hectic and to keep your gains predictable, 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. If you miss out on a weekly mission play one round per 2 points lost more. The more you miss the more you need to invest and it scales upwards quite dramatically.

[white ginkgo]

stop obsessing over content creators opinions, game has had many updates since launch and is in a really good state today

[fallow estuary]

because it's the first game to pull this increment thing that's it, reset Monday anw might just fuck this game off besides the weekly challenges now that I've got my fav character and gun T1

[tardy hill]

holy shit people liking bf2042??? 🫨

[fallow estuary]

it's gotten much better since launch in all fairness

[lethal fox]

i've been having a good time in 2042, its fun. Only thing i dislike is the draugr upgrade requirements

[white ginkgo]

nothing is resetting on monday bro 😭
monday is when we get week 2 challenges unlocked LMAO

[tardy hill]

true but imo the game is fiddled with level locked operators and other movement bulshit, thats why i hate it

[fallow estuary]

same difference my wording was off man

[white ginkgo]

oh i get what you meant now, apolocheese sir

[fallow estuary]

yeah but it's still playable, vehicles are bs tho, ah yes I unlocked the better missile so you die now

[lethal fox]

that was always that way though.
it was BAD in BFV aswell, and in 4 if you didnt have APS you basically autolose

[white ginkgo]

muehehhehehe (im that guy who grabs apache and farms inf and cwis with tow missile from the aircraft carrier)

(TV missile, lock on missile and cwis cant reach me but i can reach them muwehehe)

[fallow estuary]

the only time I've seen someone make a vehicle look fun was shooting a missile up a building and it losing its boost and falling on a snipers head

[white ginkgo]

last night i had someone in the bomber heli violate me

[fallow estuary]

in the stealth bomber I think it was

[white ginkgo]

basicaclly t bagged my apache mid air and dropped his bombs

i instant blew up, was honestly confused for a sec til i realized it was stealth heli lol

[fallow estuary]

I need to unlock the RPG as well because lis rocket is BUNS with the joystick turn speed

I need to psychoanalyse the chopper to predict which gyro movement it's gonna do to do a lil damage

[white ginkgo]

oh shit i forgot that was a thing, that makes much more sense why you are upset about xp now

ive had pretty much everything unlocked for years

forgot anything was level locked in the first place

[fallow estuary]

rorsch was not fun

K/D tank to lmg tanks all game

[lethal fox]

just dont unlock the NVK or whatver its called

that thing is garbage

[white ginkgo]

have you got to experience tank on iwo attacker breakthrough on last 2 points yet?

👀

[fallow estuary]

I've been on the victim end of it

[white ginkgo]

one shell into tunnel when u first pull up is almost guaranteed 10+ kills lmao

[fallow estuary]

because apparently my team is a damn FALCK cloning facility

[white ginkgo]

iwo is crazy for vehicle

running tank/bradley/heli all game i can easily drop 70-100 personally

so fun on iwo

also for xp

[fallow estuary]

Iwo so unbalanced in breakthrough tho
ah yes attackers diddle until the last 2 zones in which defense has a home cinema worth of gear setup ready to gun your shi down

[white ginkgo]

personally i play as angel with healing crate and or switch between boris

farm ribbons first always

[white ginkgo]

it depends on team tbh

[orchid tusk]

Nah bro just grind it out with welrod

[white ginkgo]

ive had multiple rounds where attackers lose

[fallow estuary]

that last room gave me redacted B2-C1 trauma

that map genuinely unplayable on breakthrough

[quick kraken]

if you keep a CAV alive to the last 2 flags you win

[white ginkgo]

usually they win from my experience though

[tardy hill]

fuck iwo breakthrough

[white ginkgo]

i love it tbh

[quick kraken]

CDS + trophy lets you clear 2nd to last sector easily and then you can force a close spawn on last

[tardy hill]

if you are on defense you are absolutely fucked

[quick kraken]

idk why they did sector 3 and 4 opposite of BFV

[fallow estuary]

unless I'm there on lis with my buddy playing FALCK, explosion constant

why is FALCK auto capitalising brother

[quick kraken]

3 should be 1 flag on the bunker hill, 4 should be a flag on the whatever base and on the thing next to the mountain

[fallow estuary]

if everyone dies on last zone it's actually unrecoverable lol

even once and it's over

[quick kraken]

1st sector needs emplaced TOW

V iwo jima has field guns

which lets you defend for longer than two seconds

[tardy hill]

tbh my only absolutely and largest hate on bf2042 is how it always bricks your pc when you play for a certain amount

like ffs i had all 5 max ribbons in one breakthrough match and boom, bricked pc and crashes

[fallow estuary]

pc issue only that

[tardy hill]

amd

[solar rune]

anyone else exclusively use iron sights?

[fallow estuary]

same happens with destiny 2, 4 hours and you gotta restart or it's a ticking time bomb of error code

[tardy hill]

its heavily a amd issue cuz they are so dogshit at making good drivers and yet make stupid fucking cheap chinese copies of the better nvidia

fuckass amd

[fallow estuary]

maybe when I unlock the garand but I'm always using at least the fusion holo

[solar rune]

thats a good one

[fallow estuary]

someone rolled me with it so I want it now lol

[solar rune]

idk, iron sight feel so good for some reason

[tardy hill]

everytime i play this stupidass game my fuckass amd card goes "nuh uh" and gives me the fuckass GetDevicedRemovedReason and DriverErrorDeviceHung bulshit

fuck amd, fuck their ceo

[quick kraken]

fusion, tv holo, or irons

[fallow estuary]

I finally got the rorsch but I don't like it, might just be a console thing since leading shots isn't fun on sticks

[tardy hill]

even after underclocking my card it still gives me the bulshit

[solar rune]

its 2042 haha. Pile of steaming dog turds

[tardy hill]

same shit in bf6 as well

[solar rune]

does it have something to do with anti cheat?

[tardy hill]

not really

[fallow estuary]

the 1.5/4x ghost is a nice sight as well tbh

[glossy hill]

Is there a plan to make the pass buyable?

[fringe zephyr]

2042 was literally the best game in the francise, thank god they moved away from the trash that was BF1

[solar rune]

😭 NOOOOO

kill me now PLEASE

[glossy hill]

BRO WHAT

[fringe zephyr]

IM KIDDING DONT KILL ME IM KIDDING

[glossy hill]

Ok ok ok

[fallow estuary]

nope, back to the exp mines for you

[solar rune]

haha

[fringe zephyr]

thank you

[glossy hill]

Fuck…

[solar rune]

(you better be kidding. Or else... ||i will be sad. thats it.||)

[glossy hill]

Ok welp back I go

[fringe zephyr]

ragebait complete, have a nice day

[fringe zephyr]

how dare you

thats so cruel

[fallow estuary]

also the jumpshotters in this game need to be taken out back it's so jarring

[fringe zephyr]

low key, ban the cod streamers from playing the game

[fallow estuary]

they use just good hip fire weapons and put on the bunny tail I hate it

[solar rune]

im sorry, but it must be done 😔

[fallow estuary]

count how many times the steamer says battle royale when talking about BF6 challenge (try not to lobotomise yourself)

[fringe zephyr]

faze swagg must be hardware, IP and DNA banned

[glass lichen]

just flew over the volcano and immeidately lost most of my jet's health lol

[crude willow]

I about had enough playing it lol at Bp 23 and I don’t think I have it in me to keep playing this hot trash I m about to become a ammo crate farm xp main

[fringe zephyr]

ATP just do it bro, emrace labotomycore

[fallow estuary]

emrace it's already taking effect don't you worry

my bad

also 6KU or wrapped, which do you think is the better suppressor

[fringe zephyr]

wrapped prolly

[quick kraken]

3/10 ragebait

good beginner effort tho

[fringe zephyr]

i forgor exactly which does which but im pretty sure wrapped has greater minimap reduction

[fringe zephyr]

im trying

[fallow estuary]

it's between (Wrapped) velocity and (6KU) range

[bright pulsar]

Thoughts on haven map?

[fringe zephyr]

oh prolly 6KU then

if you can just lead ur shots a lil more

[glass lichen]

man i keep getting hit by unblockable and unavoidable anti tank attacks having just joined imo jima, just ended up quitting lol

[fallow estuary]

wait my brains off those are the stats they lose by 5 they retain the other

I'm special bro I swear

[glass lichen]

couldn't even get out of spawn without my wildcat getting auto-locked and hit by recoilless 5 times in 10 seconds

[quick kraken]

Wrapped is better for general use since you dont have to worry about your BTK getting changed

[fringe zephyr]

honestly not bad, all bf2042 DLC maps were decent, there was an LTM i really enjoyed on Haven i forgot what it was callled, needed more destruction but it was fine

[fringe zephyr]

yes

what that guy said

[quick kraken]

Haven is too easy to spawntrap in

Exposure and Iwo Jima are the only maps I actually think are ok

[fringe zephyr]

EZ fix, dont play conquest

[quick kraken]

The other ones are 🛌

[fringe zephyr]

idk why they didnt just add another map to bf 6 instead of pushing out another one for 2042, the game is not worth supporting, but im gald they did nonetheless

[quick kraken]

Probably already done

[fallow estuary]

redacted is ez to spawntrap in till a rat makes it past and back caps the furthest damn point

[quick kraken]

2042 has been on maintence mode for a while

[fallow estuary]

BF5 map, ez transfer

[fringe zephyr]

okay but redacted is the ultimate lobotomycore map and idm being spawn trapped in there

[glass lichen]

just got spawnkiled with 3 tanks hiding around my spawn again

[fringe zephyr]

right but they couldve just done that for bf 6 no?

[fallow estuary]

I love it for recon farming, stadium better tho

[glass lichen]

man i hate this game

[slender robin]

Wouldn't mind Iwo Jima in BF6

[fringe zephyr]

ultimate game dev trick to boost map count, just take a part of another map and make it independent

[fallow estuary]

could've but "oh new shiny thing gotta play that now" player count raiser to make shareholders happy the lobotomite money grubbers

[fringe zephyr]

i hated how vague some reviews were when the game first released, i remember one dude saying it made him feel like playing bf4 in the good ol' days, i was professionally duped

[fallow estuary]

LMAO

[fringe zephyr]

i was duped so hard i bought the game full price when it released 😭

and then for like $6 2 years later on pc

[fallow estuary]

and now it's £2.49 on steam ✌🏻

[fringe zephyr]

european detected

[fallow estuary]

I just baited I'm a Brit kill me

[fringe zephyr]

omg i was baited

[fallow estuary]

euros use € , £ is UK only

[fringe zephyr]

right well, brexit was a mistake so

im right in a sense

[nova onyx]

server maintenance currently?

[fallow estuary]

I just went full anarchist and deleted a paragraph nvm me

[gleaming ice]

Nah probably died

[nova onyx]

lol

[fringe zephyr]

yeah i was waiting for this essay but it never arrived

baited twice

[fallow estuary]

there's always a moderator lurking

[fallow estuary]

could call me a master at it if you will

ibuprofen my shi

[fringe zephyr]

master... battle field player???

[fallow estuary]

baiter

[fringe zephyr]

no way\

[fallow estuary]

bro...

[fringe zephyr]

mods, lobotomize this person

[pliant hatch]

Which day do the weeklies return and what time?

[fallow estuary]

Monday 12pm UTC

[fringe zephyr]

i twas kiding, im not that illiterate

im a 2042 player, i can read somwhat

[fallow estuary]

I sure can't wait to play stadium CQC conquest with a pp29 and recon

[glass lichen]

yay, spawnkilled again, yeah i'm uninstalling this game lol

[gleaming ice]

Again?

[manic ledge]

Playing 2042 for the free pass bf6 rewards is torture

[raven lance]

Do they have 2XP every weekend for this game?

[lament ferry]

having bots in a multiplayer game is stupid. I already hate hackers... but AI trained to know your location, seek you out is almost worse. Like skilled based match making, I dont want to try my ass off every time I get on the game.

[brittle hornet]

i cant take the 2042 grind anymore, i want the Chinese engineer skin in the worst way but i cant stomach this game anymore lol

[quick kraken]

iwo jima son or stadium daughter

I will say

The one thing 2042 did right was the penguins

More of those please

[flat willow]

EA working pls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! error 12:101002s:4C

[orchid tusk]

both not directly for completing a mission. each mission gives you a dot and of course you get xp in the regular fashion none extra. at least thats my guess without specifically zeroing in on that

just my recollection

[quick kraken]

you cannot complete the pass with missions alone

the dots being worth more doesn't matter since you'll still need to farm 21.5 tiers worth of dots

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. youll have to backfill the last 21.5 with xp, and it disincentivizes you from grinding too much by scaling the amount of points you get with xp, so overfarming those 21.5 is NOT worth it

if you're Tier 27 you will be done with XP

5.5 from this week's missions and then 21.5 from XP

I'm at 25.5 atm

good luck

you'll need to do a lot of grinding

for this 60 tier pass, estimates are at 25-40 hours worth

I just want to be done with XP ASAP so I can take it easy and do my weeklies in portal after

[dusk lagoon]

any tips for someone new to the game who sucks lol

any good guns you recomend? anything i use seems like i always get outgunned lol

whats the best game mode?

CC conquest?

[outer island]

Anyone have an open lobby on 2042 that my buddy and I can join

[edgy narwhal]

i thought close quarters conquest would be maps as small as bf6s close quarters but these mfs huge 😭

[vocal adder]

Yeah good luck because the more you level up the pass more xp you need to get the tokens

it's gonna take awhile more then 25-40 hours

Just to get 1 token i need 18500 xp and that goes up and up as you level the pass

[round briar]

Which mode is best to play in 2042? Or is there a server that is the best to join? Looking to get the BF6 rewards mainly but I enjoy just playing the game too

[thick acorn]

I did all the challenges

And the special week challenge for this week.

wtf do I do now because I’m not making a dent in this battle pass

[keen plank]

shamelessly farm ribbons each match

[sonic viper]

I think if you reach tier 27 you can get the rest of the tiers through weekly challenges

Just grind it out

[keen plank]

also gotta love all the random DX12 crashes the main menu causes

[lapis eagle]

What's the current thoughts on battlefield 2042?, thinking about getting it for the two months until battlefield 6 releases while 2042 is only 5 bucks AUD.

[sonic viper]

It’s not the worst battlefield game

[lapis eagle]

But is it worth the download, how much space does it actually take?

[sonic viper]

100 GBs

I’d say get it if you wanna get the exclusive stuff for BF6

[lapis eagle]

Ok, not too bad, might just have to delete something since I only got 197 free, what exclusive stuff is there?

[keen plank]

the big one is the chinese engineer skin from BF4 with the gasmask

[sonic viper]

Skins, like the Chinese engineer from BF4. but they’re locked behind a free battlepass which is pretty grindy

[zenith garnet]

Do I need to install the EA app to play 2042?

[keen plank]

most likely. not sure how steam works with EA stuff. I know Ubisoft forces their own launcher even if you use steam.

[serene kestrel]

it scratches the itch

[zenith garnet]

Thanks

[lapis eagle]

Ok, still got a whole 2 months to unlock it all though, first experience was battlefield 2042 open beta weekend 1 and 2, then played the two bf6 weekends and thinking about finally comitting.

[vocal adder]

Dice should just turn on full xp on bots just for this event 😂

[lapis eagle]

Will buy it, and have some fun before bf6, thanks for the insight.

[sonic viper]

Does the XP boost end tomorrow?

[orchid tusk]

probably 0400 monday edt

[sonic viper]

Okay good I still have time

[quick kraken]

I'm at 19.5k xp pp at 25.7

1.3 tiers left to go.......

[sonic viper]

Just 5 more tiers

[quick kraken]

i just have to be done with xp and then its ez mode (i am lying to myself if i forget to log in during any of the other weeks I die)

[orchid tusk]

dots aren't worth xp thats just how you get the tiers...you can complete the missions anytime so week1 can completed all the way to final week etc. at least thats how its been

[sonic viper]

But the bonus of 10 dots does go away after a week

[orchid tusk]

yes just the bonus forgot about that one

i don't remember how the different levels of season pass badge works--this one got a badge?

[vocal adder]

which is stupid lmao

should just be a fixed amount

if the battle pass gonna be like this in 6 it's gonna be ass

[sonic viper]

Yeah I hope it’s nothing like this BP

[serene kestrel]

If I grind these cosmetics, I dont see a reason to buy the pass going forward. I get my shiny engineer skins, plus my preorder bonus, plus my twitch rewards

[calm crescent]

at times I think 2042 was killed partially by bots, every match, there's AI bots, and consequently every round feels meh

[sonic viper]

Although they probably won’t do it, I hope the Battlepasses are persistent

[vocal adder]

They 100% going the expire route and can never get them again

but yeah i agree with you though they should 100% go the infinite/Helldiver route for battle passes

[sonic viper]

Or at the very least release the skins after the season ended. Like I’ve missed the robot event for 2042 so I’ll never be able to get that skin

[keen plank]

yeah, charge your paddles at least, like dang

I just hold the E key, I assume that's the proper revive. that and also use Falck when doing it

[vocal adder]

Pretty sure some event skins are in the shop not sure about the robot one though

[keen plank]

been so long I don't remember 2042's revive mechanics. I'm not entirely sure if it has the instant 1hp revive the BF6 beta did

[vocal adder]

Missing battlefield 6 alot tbh

[cursive rose]

do we just have to play 2042 for bf6 rewards or is it something specific we have to do?

[keen plank]

you have to play a lot of 2042 to get the exclusive rewards from it.

[vocal adder]

Should of just been a event with challenges you had to do

[keen plank]

I mean it kinda is... just a 2 month long one.

[orchid tusk]

well how do you get the dots then if not missions?

[vocal adder]

well yes but like the rewards shouldn't of been in the battle pass

[keen plank]

grinding xp, and ribbons are xp bonuses.

[orchid tusk]

if thats only what they do lol yeah thats annoying

[keen plank]

it is a bit much, but I guess it was a way to strike while the iron was hot and give 2042 its last hurrah

when I started that beta I was doing the 1hp revives, only because I didn't know about the charging mechanic for a couple rounds

[tame hamlet]

So when does the next week challenge refreshes?

[cursive rose]

great now the EA launcher is asking me to activate my steam BF 2042 out of nowhere

[cerulean night]

Anyone around to help me grind out this latv4 mastery? Just keep redeploying in the vehicle over and over? 😭🙏🏼

[thick acorn]

Anyone wanna farm BP exp?

[frail pilot]

Whats the best way to get 5 headshots in one life, i cant seem to do it

[keen plank]

if that's for a weapon unlock challenge, you can do that in solo/co-op with bots

[frail pilot]

Oh? Are bots hard?

[keen plank]

certainly easier to shoot at and farm than players

[frail pilot]

If I buy elite edition will it just unlock them all?

[keen plank]

I don't know, i never bought those things

[fair trout]

2042 uses such a crap version of their engine. I get freezes in the game all the damn time. "GPU hang Detected" etc

just locks up, crashes

[flat willow]

2042 host error...

[frail pilot]

Alright thanks, im gonna go do bot lobbies, what game mode would be best, breakthru? Is there a map youd recommend?

[cerulean night]

Can you farm bot lobbies to t1 mastery now?

[frail pilot]

Actually im gonna do battle of the bulge and use a sniper

[quick kraken]

T26

[keen plank]

yeah for kills solo breakthrough is the way to go. not sure I remember what's what good anymore, though. I wanna say stranded, redacted, and stadium. not necessarily in that order but in general

[quick kraken]

1 tier left.........

[keen plank]

you can't actually reach tier 1 level off of bots, but you can at least unlock weapons and attachments off them

[frail pilot]

What is mastery?

[keen plank]

mastiery is just the amount of kills with the weapon, 1 mastery rank every 30 kills

[quick kraken]

doing whatever the T1 condition is for that thing

guns is kills, transports is spawns, kills, assists, etc

[frail pilot]

I just need 1000 incendiary dmg and 5 headshots in one life

Im trying to unlock the vhk is it? I can do that with bots?

[vocal adder]

you can unlock all weapons and attachments in bots

[frail pilot]

Man my pfp sucks now that the second happy Gilmore came out

[keen plank]

you cannot gain progress on the battle pass missions with bots, though, so that'll solely be for weapons

[vocal adder]

and for the capture challenge you can acutally go into portal do that in the heli servers

[quick kraken]

where you can do things

unlock challenges: ai

everything (with limited xp): portal with ai

everything (with full xp): real games

bp challenges esp you can make a portal server with a password

[vocal adder]

I miss when 2042 at launch had full progress on bots but yeah no fun allowed

[remote belfry]

Hey those who play bf2042, i heard that people are remaking bf6 in portal.

How is that going?

[keen plank]

I suck so much coming back to this game I still haven't gotten the 1 multikill mission done yet

[cerulean night]

So I can do mastery t1 w portal bots?

[frail pilot]

The only bp challenge i have left is 1000 incendiary

[night crag]

r

[remote belfry]

Hello?

[vocal adder]

Yeah i came back after not playing since S4 just for the battlefield 6 stuff

[frail pilot]

Me too, my first day was when the beta ended and im lvl 50 now

[keen plank]

then again didn't really attempt to play any real games til today since I'm kinda forced to play now rather than later

[clever sable]

yo, never played the game once before and im only considering getting it now cause of the 95% off sale, but im seeing mixed opinions

is it even worth the 5 bucks

3 bucks actually* in usd

[frail pilot]

Yes, its five bucks thats like the cost of a soda and a mcdouble

[keen plank]

it's the latest BF until 6 comes out, plus you get exclusive rewards for BF6 if you get to grinding the free battle pass they dropped

[frail pilot]

And double xp on weekends

[remote belfry]

The issue is that the normal modes with massive maps, suck

Bf2042 is rlly good when u play on portal, if u know which one to play.

[frail pilot]

Theres cqc conquest and brwakthru

[keen plank]

I don't think that's a guaranteed thing? did anyone announce all weekends were going to be double?

[clever sable]

dont think i'd get bf6 ngl

[frail pilot]

No idea , i read it somewhere on reddit

[keen plank]

well if you didn't like 6, probably not gonna like this either.

[remote belfry]

Tbh, i only played bf2042 for an hour before requesting a refund.

Im not dissing the devs

Its just... not that good.

[clever sable]

I mean some games are free and are still huge lol

[keen plank]

not really a fan of paying for games in general?

[frail pilot]

You requested a refund over five bucks? Is your financial situation that dire?

[clever sable]

nah I paid for mw3 and r6 but I acc enjoy playing them

[clever sable]

I didnt buy it yet lol

5 bucks is 5 bucks at the end of the day lmao

[remote belfry]

No, its just not worth 5 bucks.

I felt like ive wasted money, and i hate wasting money.

[orchid tusk]

WHAT ABOUT THE DOTS?

[frail pilot]

Yeah but for five bucks the credit card companies are making money on the transaction fees... By refunding you wasted morw money

[clever sable]

yeah same, I just dont wanna throw away money like that even the smallest bit doesnt feel good

[jagged wyvern]

how long until the week 2 challenges come out? like down to the hour

[orchid tusk]

what about TEH points?

[verbal bane]

2042 sucks

[remote belfry]

What?

Okay, i got bf2042 on steam.

Bro i got my full refund, paid no fees.

[frail pilot]

Steam is paying the fees on the backend

[clever sable]

how long did u play for

[remote belfry]

40 min to an hour

First game failed to connext

Second game, vehicle physics was abysmal

Third and final game, boy...

Without vehicles, you are just too far from the action.

U also need to pre order bf6 for the free stuff

By then i requested a refund and didnt even try anything else.

[frail pilot]

Bummer

Well im off to grind bot lobbies yall be well

[clever sable]

what other games do u play just curious

[humble cobalt]

How high can the XP go for you to get a point on the battle pass? I’m currently at 15k

[timber flame]

100k

[humble cobalt]

Currently on tier 21 with all weekly challenges completed

[weary mortar]

just wait for the next set of weeklys

you're way ahead of the curve

[polar oar]

Anyone looking to squad up for conquest?

[raven lance]

Does it matter when we preorder BF6 for the free rewards in the pass? Like can I finish the entire pass, and preorder bf6 after and still get the rewards

[timber flame]

or just shut up about your battlepass progress. literally noone cares

[weary mortar]

as long as it's the same account it shouldn't matter

[timber flame]

that can't be a real question

[rustic wren]

hey, is this game good?

[timber flame]

same engine as bf6. these people saying it sucks are gonna be bored of bf6 one week after release so

[rustic wren]

but I got it on Steam for 3€

so it seemed like it would be a good game.

[timber flame]

it literally plays just like bf6

[iron fiber]

when does the week 2 of the pass starts?

[timber flame]

monday

[iron fiber]

i hope the next weekly challenge is as easy as the first one

because getting 10k xp to get one point is getting harder and harder

im already at lvl 20 in the pass, do you think just by doing the next weeks i'll get to 60?

[timber flame]

it literaly does. except for sliding and recoil. which they already said they nerfed. sorry cod kids

no you need to get to level 27 this week to only do challenges

[rapid folio]

it's legitimately insane how absolutely TRASH the netcode or server tickrate is for 2042

[orchid tusk]

to me, usually only one or two a week can be a challenge

[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. youll have to backfill the last 21.5 with xp, and it disincentivizes you from grinding too much by scaling the amount of points you get with xp, so overfarming those 21.5 is NOT worth it

[orchid tusk]

yeah the points !

[raven lance]

This battle pass is an insane grind. I just been afk’ing helicopter portal lobbies

Tbh wish you could just buy tiers. I don’t mind throwing some $ just to not worry about this crap

[karmic egret]

anyone having to constantly repair game files?

[cerulean night]

Anyone around to help me grind out this latv4 mastery? Just keep redeploying in the vehicle over and over?

[tardy jungle]

Are there people that would be interested in a Hard Core BF3 sever in 2042 portal?

[karmic egret]

well thanks for the help

ea

[idle lion]

Hey guys im hosting an actually FULL XP(not moderate xp, since there are no bots) Rush 128 in OCE/APAC region and need some help seeding it. If you are interested in joining look up "RUSH 128p 24/7 - ULTIMATE CHAOS - EASY BF6 GRIND - NO BOTS"
All the other rush xl servers are moderate XP which ruins the whole thing

[polar oar]

Anyone want to squat up?

[chilly lichen]

level 25 In the bp this is misery

[sour meadow]

yo BFEE admins are twats

[rustic lake]

can you seperate the ping/commorose bind

[iron fiber]

aight

i got from lvl 20 in the pass to 25 and it took me 1 hour

this is hell

btw the F2000 is so good

[rustic wren]

It's true that they added Iwo Jima as a map to Battlefield? (I'm just asking, I'm the first player of that game)

[iron fiber]

you telling me that if im in lvl 25 of the battle pass it means i can just do the week challenges and i'll get it all?

[iron fiber]

yes iwo jima is back

dont get on a helicopter or jet tho you wont last

[quick kraken]

27 as of this week

[sonic viper]

Just 4 more tiers man

[plucky vessel]

im trying to host my own portal server, but it says server not found and i cant login to it

is there a way to fix it?

[iron fiber]

at this point i could just play and grind as much as i can

[rustic lake]

can you seperate these binds? keep holding the ping too long and popping up the dumb menu

Ping / CommoRose

[radiant pier]

Unless its the stealth heli, then u can pretty much ruin the game for the ground forces kekw

[iron fiber]

you should be able to

[iron fiber]

nah i'd still get those with the wildcat

[radiant pier]

No spare available servers thanks to ppl leaving all those empty dead servers online

[iron fiber]

no missils? no problem, Wildcat turrets goes BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

[arctic grove]

Looking forward to another short morning of grinding after the shift.

[plucky vessel]

you sure? im seeing a lot of servers being open and full

[iron fiber]

it was even worse with that mini event were everyone and everything was faster

if you couldn't be on the sky with normal speed it was impossible with that one

[radiant pier]

Yes, no server found and quota reached both mean there arent any spare servers available. More than half of the servers on portal are just empty servers

[plucky vessel]

oh, but i was hoping to just use "my experiences"

still got nothing tho

[radiant pier]

Yeah u need to get lucky to get a spare server

Helped someone with a phantom easter egg step yesterday, took me 10min...

[marble kernel]

how are you supposed to kill vehicles with lis if you simply dont have enough ammo?

[iron fiber]

that's the fun part, you dont

[marble kernel]

so why use her?

[plucky vessel]

do i just have to wait until the hype train to bf6 is over in 2042?

like all the servers will eventually be gone and i can host my own servers now?

[iron fiber]

thats the fun part, you don't

[marble kernel]

lol okay xD
i just tend to cheese snipers with it

[radiant pier]

1. Keep trying until u get lucky
2. Hope dice purges portal servers again (never gonna happen)
3. Wait for bf6

Thats all u can do

[marble kernel]

me and a sniper in breakthrough kept 1v1ing with sniper/lis and he eventually swapped to lis and we kept trying to crossmap eachother 😂

[plucky vessel]

whoops

man, that's not fair

[marble kernel]

set up a macro and go make a sandwich :D

[radiant pier]

Most ppl just use her to send rockets across hills to kill campers lmao

[marble kernel]

loool

[iron fiber]

no vehicles for that lady

[plucky vessel]

i pray to god that this is just the 2042 portal servers going ham

[marble kernel]

i suppose she can kill weakened vehicles? maybe finish off vehicles hit by a squad engineer?

[radiant pier]

Yes

[humble cobalt]

This still open?

[idle lion]

yessir

[iron fiber]

with more rockets of course

[idle lion]

we have 9 players so far, so please join

[iron fiber]

you need like 5 lis rockets to destroy a tank

[marble kernel]

is it actually full xp though? portal servers are capped. you can get as much benefit from a full conquest match as a 10 minute deathmatch…
i tested it…

[iron fiber]

and that's if the tank doesnt have engis repairing it

[idle lion]

yes it is, if you dont enable bots its Full full xp

you can check on te side when you are overviewing a server

[marble kernel]

huh! i see! how many people are in it?

[idle lion]

10 so far

feel free to hop in

[marble kernel]

10 is a little too harsh for a 128 lobby for me, sorry! i would otherwise :)

[idle lion]

fair fair

[radiant pier]

From what ive been told, all portal servers have capped xp

"xp is capped in portal even if it's full xp, there's a cap per minute that takes like 2 minutes to reset, I timed it"

[marble kernel]

yeah.

[idle lion]

really?

[marble kernel]

ever seen a kill pop up and show no xp? it isnt lying

[idle lion]

cause like when i was on full xp servers i never hit a cap

[marble kernel]

i dont think theres a “cap”… it just is limited.

[rustic wren]

what game mode?

[marble kernel]

genuinely youre better off hosting 10 minute deathmatches because then you can get match completed xp xD

[radiant pier]

Conquest and breakthrough

[vast beacon]

Chat what is this era section in classes?

[rustic wren]

Thx

[radiant pier]

Portal servers can choose what era to use (most just go with defaulr 2042 tho)

[iron fiber]

the only two we have besides TDM

[radiant pier]

Do ppl even actually play tdm?

[abstract thunder]

Does anyone know how to fix the mouse input issues for this game? I just downloaded it for the first time and I have tried everything under the sun to fix it. Cannot play because of it and would like to grind bf6 skins.

[iron fiber]

thats the fun part, you dont

[marble kernel]

its so dumb you arent allowed to use 2042 items in portal, itd be great to have a bf3/bc lobby with 2042 stuff. that way no specilaists.

[radiant pier]

Yeah tdm seems like a counter productive mode

[rustic lake]

man these maps suck

[vast beacon]

So each era has its own classes, weapons etc?

[marble kernel]

its something some people play for fun. nothing counter productive about it tbh.

[radiant pier]

It has its own soldiers from those game instead of the 2042 operators. Not sure if choosing an era also looks the weapon to that era tho

[iron fiber]

some people play TDM just to do week challenges and stuff like that but i think Breakthough is muuuuch better to complete those things and also you get way more XP

[marble kernel]

you arent allowed to use the thompson outside of 1942.

for example

[vast beacon]

Which game mode do people play the most ?

[radiant pier]

Probably breakthrough rn

Everyone doing the casper tactic 😭

[iron fiber]

I think is conquest

I get conquest matches much faster than breakthough

[sonic viper]

Just sitting in spawn and spotting?

[timber flame]

im gonna lose it over these helicopters

[vast beacon]

For me both of them are dead, currently sitting in the lobby with 5/64 people

Is there no quick play mode that just picks a game mode for you?

[radiant pier]

Yes

[glass cargo]

Worst thing about this is global error due to do many xp farm lobbies

[fading atlas]

Which mag should I be running on the ak 5c? I used the cqc mag but i dunno if the Standard extended is better

[sonic viper]

Is it effective? Haven’t tried doing that yet

[radiant pier]

I usually got 45-50k a match. Its not as much anymore now that everyone is doing it

No one is defending anymore so attackers just easily capture points and matches are over much faster

[cosmic solstice]

Just spent 2 hours unlocking Draugr mods in air superiority

[polar oar]

Man fuck this place

[severe vale]

Is there also XP X2 on portal?

[radiant pier]

Yes
