battlefield-2042

[polar parrot]

well we will see

it just had to break while I was almost done with this week's challenges

[remote kiln]

are you in solo mode?

[subtle bobcat]

Solo mode? If you mean whether or not I'm queuing alone in public games, then... yes?

[blazing spoke]

M1 garand is bugged will be fixed in the hot fix

[subtle bobcat]

Oh dangit

[simple merlin]

Tier skip is allowed? Bruh they would have made so much early if they did this earlier

[silver plover]

Xbox wants £220 for 1TB, other sellers have it for around £120. PC 1TB NVMe around £50-£70

[remote kiln]

solo means the bot mode specifically (solo/coop)

[arctic grove]

Are you the one I told earlier about that being known and being fixed in the hotfix?

[blazing spoke]

I probably would of brought some now I’m 47 there’s no point 😭

[sturdy olive]

In todays patch yea

[teal spruce]

does the m1 garand make the ping in game?

that's reason enough to unlock it

[blazing spoke]

Good question tbh

It’d be a sin to have a garand in a game and not include the ping

[silver plover]

I won't be buying tiers. Waste of money for a FREE pass lol I've completed lvl40 now, so getting closer.

[teal spruce]

that's just what i expect of 2042 tbh

[vast beacon]

Have the yesterday's announced update been released?

[silver plover]

Spent enough on the game 🤣

[arctic grove]

I just had some coins randomly to spare, so I just made use of what I had, haha.

[remote kiln]

just use the acwr anyways it's a much better weapon than the M1 garand

[lavish wyvern]

🗿 some people use external ones with the upgraded internal one and even that ain't enough lmao

[soft steppe]

damn 150 per tier

[arctic grove]

I would have finished regardless but now it is just done and dusted.

[silver plover]

Nowt wrong with that 👍🏻

[teal spruce]

well i mean yeah it's an ar lmao

ars feel incredibly boring in this game

[silver plover]

Congrats 👌🏻

[teal spruce]

imo

[subtle bobcat]

Nope, just entered the chat but now I do know!

[lavish wyvern]

Shit's prolly more than a hundred to buy through

[arctic grove]

Felt good to see "Battle Pass Completed."

[blazing spoke]

Yeah once you hit a certain point where you can rely on weekly challenges why waste money

[polar parrot]

time to wait an hour and a half for bf2042 to finish downloading

[teal spruce]

time to uninstall the game forever lmao

[soft steppe]

i'm so tempted to just buy 2.4k for 20 bucks, would only have 4 tiers left then

[stray garden]

How bad is your WiFi

[arctic grove]

Not at all, I love 2042. Just means I can play other games and otherwise without having to fret at all.

[soft steppe]

its 100gb, 1h 30 is good

[polar parrot]

it's fine?

[silver plover]

The game is poor not gonna butter it with glitter. What keeps me playing is having fun getting multi kills, kills with defibs, repair tool and EOD bot. There are other things.

[polar parrot]

I'm running ethernet

[stray garden]

🥀🥀🥀

[arctic grove]

Once BF6 comes out it will be uninstalled forever though, haha. 2042 may be good, but BF6 is far superior.

[stray garden]

100 gb takes me 15 minutes

[lavish wyvern]

20 bucks is already half the price of Eldenring Shadow of the Erdtree

[soft steppe]

great dlc

[teal spruce]

2042 is mediocre at the VERY best imo, but to each their own lol

[silver plover]

Mine will be unstalled to make room for BF6 lol

[sturdy olive]

Depends on where you live. In UK that wouldnt be normal

[soft steppe]

what's your download upload on ps

[lavish wyvern]

BF1 is peak

[delicate hatch]

Is matchmaking dead?

[stray garden]

800-1000/100

I run directly lan

[arctic grove]

Everyone has their own thoughts and I get it. The game is still buggy as all get out and the maps are not the best they could be, but I greatly enjoy my time playing it. Will have no reason to return once BF6 drops though.

[silver plover]

My first proper BF game and loved it!!

[soft steppe]

bruh i just did a test got 91.4mbps/86.4mbps

[stray garden]

Do you use WiFi or lan?

[polar parrot]

megabytes or megabits

[sturdy olive]

Megabonks

[teal spruce]

i get about 400-500 mbps, which is equal to about 65 MBps

[stray garden]

I run 800 MBps

[silver plover]

Hardwired is best for internet connection. Im hardwired with 500mb download 700 upload. I roughly get about 460mb

[soft steppe]

lan

[teal spruce]

that's a ridiculous speed lumineers. most businesses don't have that speed.

[arctic grove]

Wow, I actually found someone with worse than mine in modern day.

[stray garden]

Dawg, what is your subscription ?

[teal spruce]

no residential homes have that speed, not through any internet provides i know

800 MBps would be 6400mbps

fiber is 900-1000 mbps

and is the fastest residential option typically

[lavish wyvern]

I mean i jumped from Black Ops 1,2,3 to CoD: WW2 to BF1, BFV - did buy Bo4 for my brother, and pre-ordered Bo6 myself which I ended up not even playing lmfao — finally pre-ordered BF6 and hope that this game can give me the same amount of fun that I had during Bo1,2 & 3 as well as BF1

[ember walrus]

Lmao paying for free skins

[languid relic]

whats defrillibator ?

[stray garden]

Oops, meant mbits🫣😅

[soft steppe]

no idea i don't pay it, when i move out i'll make sure to have faster internet lol

[teal spruce]

yeah i was boutta say lol

[sturdy olive]

The thingy that revives downed players

[languid relic]

tyty

[sturdy olive]

Anytime gang

[stray garden]

So yeah I run 100-125 mbytes/s

[teal spruce]

yeah that's about as fast as it gets for residential

[quiet palm]

What if battlefield 6 doesn’t offer the chance to play old modes with the old characters and weapons like 2042 has been doing ?

[languid relic]

3 more tiers t o60!!

[soft steppe]

i'm so confused to me this isn't even slow, it's just..okay?

[teal spruce]

did you buy them lol

[silver plover]

I've come from CoD4 up until Ghosts. Then I played BF4 but till really late on for Xbox one. BF1 and 5 not 2042 until Aug 18th. I have preferred BF since I've played them. I do have BC 1 and 2 with BF3 but didn't do MP lol

[languid relic]

you can buy them ?

[slender bone]

i have close too 1000 mbps download but only 50 mbps upload

[stray garden]

I hope it doesn’t.

[delicate hatch]

Think I just hit 48, though I missed last weekend x2xp

[lavish wyvern]

yk what's wild - the fact that the german support woman has a few skins with gas masks and heavily reminds me of Irene Engel from Wolfenstein ☠️

[languid relic]

i dont think this is cod

[stray garden]

Built in lag switch

[slender bone]

its how NBN works here

[teal spruce]

they just added an update which allows you to buy tiers

[delicate hatch]

Oh is that why matchmaking is dead? patch coming?

[languid relic]

i didint know that, but no i didint buy any

[polar parrot]

how much does one tier cost

[soft steppe]

150

[teal spruce]

already came out for most, but some people seemingly didn't get it yet

[lavish wyvern]

☠️ give DICE more money to develop BF6

[polar parrot]

I got like 200 battlefield bucks

[delicate hatch]

Interesting..

[polar parrot]

oh

[languid relic]

hiow much is 150 in euro ?

[ember walrus]

Buying free skins

[arctic grove]

Considering they are not only having Portal but expanding it to be far more capable than it ever has been, they absolutely will allow for such.

I never really played much of the through the ages matches anyway though.

[polar parrot]

not that much

[delicate hatch]

Ok.. I just got offered it finally via steam.

[soft steppe]

2.4k is 20€

[lavish wyvern]

1100 is 9,99€

[teal spruce]

i think it's a 1:10 ratio to USD. not sure what the conversion rate is for euro rn

[sturdy olive]

Please use one of those skins that almost resembles Irene Engel... Let the world know shes back

[polar parrot]

I got like 200 from the season 7 BP

[languid relic]

i already spent 276 hours in portal to lvl bp

[lavish wyvern]

too bad that I ain't playing Support eh

[teal spruce]

wtf

i'm 55 and have like 80 hours...

[lavish wyvern]

My guy 😭

[delicate hatch]

Have just played weekends and done missions to hit near 50 :\

[languid relic]

im new to bf

[teal spruce]

so am i lol

[arctic grove]

It is not the worst(we used to have far worse around here), but it is far from the modern standard.

[teal spruce]

i've only played bf1 for like 10 hours

[sturdy olive]

I do just for ribbons. Might go for it xD

[sturdy olive]

Youre new to boyfriends?

[lavish wyvern]

I tried and ended up only running around with defibs

[arctic grove]

I remember downloading things at 300KB/s on a good day, I was blown away by 500KB and could not even fathom that we could ever do 1-5MB/s.

[languid relic]

well time 4 lunch cya later

[sturdy olive]

LOL thats the fun part

[quiet palm]

I’ve actually enjoyed running round with the old weapons and the old voice announcements keep making me laugh

[arctic grove]

This was all while internet speeds had long surpassed such speeds elsewhere.

[soft steppe]

oh fair enough, idk i've never had an issue, 100gb downloads in like an hour, ping in cod/bf is like 25 and in fifa i get 10-12. now you've made me wonder what difference 1000mbps would make🧐

[lavish wyvern]

I prefer Engineer and Recon - Assault is kinda shit imo and Support ain't fun - or I am just playing them wrong idk HAHA

[silver plover]

10 Euros will get you 1100 battlefield coins on Xbox store. Be places that'll sell cheaper if you shop around.

[ember walrus]

We need the Boris Santa skin

[soft steppe]

cheaper where? like key/code sites?

[silver plover]

Pretty much, doesn't hurt to do research 👍🏻

[arctic grove]

You must enjoy the nature of the shocky shock.

[sturdy olive]

Nono its true. Engineer is definitely the most fun class, but some gsmes theres too many engs... so i play medic :(

[delicate hatch]

Be cautious of overly cheap sites.. unless you wanna get the same hand the Fortnite kids all got dealt recently buying credits bought with credit cards that were charged back.

[silver plover]

I buy from known resources and have used before.

[lavish wyvern]

I enjoy the VRUM VRUM BOOM RELOAD BOOM and the RTATATATATATATATTA and the uh bird watching from the fields very far away, oh and also the hiking in the game yk - like bushes and the such yeah vei fun man veri fun

[lavish wyvern]

The moment I join I see 20+ Engineers only 3 Snipers and maybe 6 to 8 Medics and the other idk 10 or so Assault lmao

[silver plover]

Anyone got any ideas as to when BF6 can be preinstalled before launch, preferred Xbox.

[soft steppe]

from what i've researched in 1 minute, there aren't any keys for ps5, only pc or xbox, shame.

[sturdy olive]

I genuinely dont see the appeal for assault. Thankfully BF6 does it well when it comes to assault

[lavish wyvern]

Probably 1 or 2 days before launch

[delicate hatch]

Is no news on preload, we'll probs hear early October.

[silver plover]

Thanks 👌🏻

[soft steppe]

i switch between engineer and support, love reviving, but if there's suddenly too many tanks or helicopters i'll switch to engineer

[ember walrus]

They should just go all out and put in the Halvoy Br map to portal the games done at this point lmao

[lavish wyvern]

😔 BF6 ain't it if there ain't no Operations mode like in BF1

[sturdy olive]

Same here. The annoying part is those stealthy helis. I hate using recon but sometimes i got no choice cos i know not many ppl know how to hack a stealthy heli lmao

[sturdy olive]

True 😔

[lavish wyvern]

🗿 I genuinely did not know that there was a stealth tank

[silver plover]

Breakthrough reminds me of operations but without the behemoth lol

[lavish wyvern]

Yeah but kinda short bro - like in BF1 it was 3 maps

[sturdy olive]

Hold up there are stealth tanks too?!

[silver plover]

Forgot about that part. Loved Operations!!

[lavish wyvern]

Bro idk - using my drone there was a tank that was not scanned by my drone nor could i ping it it was fully blacked out

Probably because of some anti-hacking thing on it

[sturdy olive]

Now thats intriguing as hell... Well that makes the guy from Recon more relevant 😎

Forgot the name, rao?

[blazing spoke]

Man I’ve been wanting operations back forever it was peak in 1
5 was okay but if they had it in 6 holyyyyy

[lavish wyvern]

You mean the dude who can use the recon drone?

☠️ cause that's the guy I was talking about with the drone

[silver plover]

That would be EPIC!!

[sturdy olive]

No no the one who can hack

[lavish wyvern]

Ahh

I don't play em cause his lines are stupid as shit

[blazing spoke]

Yeah hopefully they do but have to wait and see
I keep havjng all these things I want them to add to the game but I need to let them actually release it first and see how it goes 😭

[lavish wyvern]

he can die on a field without flowers

[sturdy olive]

BRO fr 🤣

[blazing spoke]

Most voice lines in 2042 make me cringe tbh

[teal spruce]

all*

[sturdy olive]

Thats why i dont like bf2042 man. Gameplay wise, its ok

[lavish wyvern]

I know, but he has a special place on my I hate this mf list

[blazing spoke]

Yeah honestly if 2042 was marketed to me as anything other then a battlefield game I’d probably have better things to say about it but it really isn’t the battlefield I know and love

[main coral]

It doesn't vibe like a Battlefield game, the aesthetic and voice lines feel more like a late 2000's PS3 game

[blazing spoke]

Yeah that’s like blasco for me

[silver plover]

All we can do is see. If the masses ask for it, it may come back 🤞🏻🤣

[blazing spoke]

Fingers crossed man fr

[lavish wyvern]

Fuck bro I wanna play BF1 now

Gonna reinstall it

[silver plover]

What platform for BF1? Im on Xbox

[blazing spoke]

I re-downloaded it the other day but not many aus servers on ps5 but I was just playing with high ping and it was still okay

[lavish wyvern]

PC

[silver plover]

Bugger 🤣

[teal spruce]

i'll play with you but i'm us west lmao

[lavish wyvern]

PC EU is filled

🗿 I even got an achievement on BF1 that is rare idek how tf I got it

[silver plover]

Need to shoot, got work to do. Nice chatting 👌🏻

[blazing spoke]

Unfortunately Oceania usually misses out on player counts for old games
I’ve been playing bf4 tho and that’s been great

[exotic bone]

So I bought the last 10 tiers of the battlepass the frind is finally over

[teal spruce]

@lavish wyvern i'm gonna go to bed soon but lmk tomorrow if you wanna play

[wild quiver]

My game still won't update lol

[lavish wyvern]

yessir

[lavish wyvern]

I've got an achievement which only 3.9% of the playerbase has, had a round in which I killed 15 players with the L-Class Destroyer lmfao

Put me in a War of Warships game

[ember walrus]

3000 tokens for 20 tiers I checked

[lavish wyvern]

On god I have to try the campaigns

I still don't know how tf I did not now that there was a campaign in Battlefield

[subtle bobcat]

Popping a player with the exploding bolt from the Ghostmaker is so satisfying omg

It still boggles the mind actually that the normal bolt doesn't insta-kill but a throwing knife does :o

[stray garden]

It insta headshots

The the ghostmaker also one shots close up

[lavish wyvern]

😔 had a player who mained Ghostmaker and had the explosive launcher equipped on Assault - bro did not let us live behind the only small bit of cover we had

[subtle bobcat]

It does? Never had that yet, maybe I'm just trash at aiming this thing since the speed is different from what I'm used to haha

[lavish wyvern]

Idk what the map was called it was an all desert map where you had to climb a huge sand bank

[stray garden]

Yeah it does

[fluid light]

am in tier 12 best way to get to tier 50 within 25 days I want to get bf6 costume😭

[teal spruce]

do all the challenges

[lavish wyvern]

The very first objective only had 1 small hut and that's where they constantly sniped us from and threw nades etc at us

[blazing spoke]

9000 battlefield coins if you were to buy the whole free pass

[subtle bobcat]

Ghostmaker is such a niche weapon honestly but as someone who's obsessed with unconventional weaponry in shooters, it's just right

[lavish wyvern]

Holy shit

[blazing spoke]

So you’d give EA like 130$ for a shit game 😭

[fluid light]

is there a certain way of playing like mod, class or map

[blazing spoke]

That’s for AUD tho

[lavish wyvern]

Bro likes to play Sticks n Stones in a war game

[blazing spoke]

Complete the weekly challenges
Every weekend there will be double XP plus triple XP on the last two weekends

[simple merlin]

I don't think the soflam weekly works

[blazing spoke]

If there’s any challenge your stuck on let me know I can give tips

[blazing spoke]

Worked for me

[fluid light]

very helpful thanks buddy

[simple merlin]

Ah it didn't work on bf3 mode but works on 2042

[blazing spoke]

If you look up on YouTube “2042 Casper drone xp tutorial” you should find decent videos but basically just rack up ribbons using a drone to spot people

[subtle bobcat]

It's funny 'cause it's true!
I ran the spear in the last MW game with the crossbow then too~

[blazing spoke]

That’s what I did during the week while I waited for new challenges and I went up heaps of tiers

[fluid light]

I will keep that in mind thanks a lot

[fluid light]

I will check it thanks

[lavish wyvern]

Random question though, is it possible to throw C5 on the Recon Drone and fly that shit into something?

[stray garden]

Yes

[fluid light]

I see that's great

[stray garden]

Do that a lot

[lavish wyvern]

You'd need a duo or-?

[stray garden]

No. You can do it yourself but you have to be fast, as you have to exit the drone and switch to C5 again

[blazing spoke]

Yeah at the moment I’m tier 47 but I haven’t missed any of the challenges

[lavish wyvern]

Yeah figured

[stray garden]

You can’t “ram” it to explode

You have to almost like park it

[lavish wyvern]

But damn bro - I could basically use that to get them tanks then lmao

Unless they drive away

[fluid light]

how many hours does it take dayly

[stray garden]

Yeah, most don’t pay attention to the drones

I do that on rush when people camp far away; send away bomb drones

[lavish wyvern]

🗿 I'll def try that then shit seems fun in my head

[blazing spoke]

I think I’d get on for maybe 2-3 hours a day and do the Casper drone technique

[rugged badge]

Yes its possible, but the drone is slow as hell so you need to find someone who is standing still

[blazing spoke]

But on weekends with double XP I’d try grind for as much as possible

[lavish wyvern]

them tower camping bitches

[blazing spoke]

Catch me flying that thing through the caves of Iwo Jima like I’m an fpv competition

[ember walrus]

Buy a free pass

[fluid light]

that's feasible thanks buddy I will try and do it smartly as you are doing

[rugged badge]

You can also ram tanks with it while it has C5 but I don’t know if it triggers the C5 anymore

[lavish wyvern]

the killfeed potential is diabolical

[blazing spoke]

You’d be surprised man 😭

[stray garden]

Doesn’t work

[blazing spoke]

I could NEVER spend money on 2042

[lavish wyvern]

Sad that they don't have proximity mines

[stray garden]

The explosive radius of grenades always kill it

[blazing spoke]

It definitely does cause I do it 😭

That’s how I got all my spots

[ember walrus]

It’s crazy I’ve never spent a single penny in game lmao

[blazing spoke]

Like I got the game for free I’m not giving them a cent
(Pre orders bf6)

[tame hamlet]

LMAO They patched the glitch in the The Prototype vault room

[lavish wyvern]

using the drone in-doors on Iwo Jima gives Echo R6 vibes lmfao

[blazing spoke]

Stay high man

Just hug that ceiling and your fine

One thing about any first person shooter
People rarely look up

[timber flame]

man im playing bc2 cmapaign right now and i can't stop wondering how stupid it was to not put a campaign in 2042. it would have been so much better. who did they think they were fromsoft? hiding all the lore in loading screens and item descriptions. freakin weird

[blazing spoke]

Most fps game is better off with a campaign

[stray garden]

It’s the same a playing lis on the tunnel part of Iwo Jima, you can just snipe off attackers outside that sit by the tunnel entry

[blazing spoke]

Like shit what a good way to gear up for multiplayer that’s how it always is for me Atleast

[stray garden]

Fire across map down onto attackers and one shots

[tame hamlet]

At least they didn't took away The Prototype who already earned it through glitch wow

[subtle bobcat]

Pretty sure I committed a warcrime just now.

I was rushing into a building to get a takedown on a guy that didn't see me, in that instant his teammate spawned and she got takedown'd instead. xD

[lavish wyvern]

I looked up once and the next thing I heard was a loud BRRRRRT brrrrap DUUUUUUURT

[blazing spoke]

Unless your going for 100% completion or all phantom challenges done I can really live without the prototype

[blazing spoke]

The amount of times I’m on my drone then look to my left or right and there’s an enemy drone just hugging the ceiling with me 😭

[lavish wyvern]

I hope that was comprehensive enough

[lavish wyvern]

Real

Warthog in other games makes me shit my pants but in 2042 I get shot at by peas

[tame hamlet]

I contacted EA support and they did actually fixed on this update

"Fixed an issue where multiple Underbarrel Shotgun Attachments on Vault Weapons were not tracking progress towards quests that require you to get kills with underbarrel shotguns. For example, the unlock quest for the AK5C."

[midnight raven]

Will have finally caught up with tiers in battlepass so now I just need to do weeklies

I’m at tier 41

[subtle bobcat]

So. What's the point of Rao's Hack anyway? Doesn't feel like it does much

[lavish wyvern]

He can open and close bridges yaaaaaaaay clap

[subtle bobcat]

He-...

He what.

[lavish wyvern]

Yeah

[lavish wyvern]

☠️ he lowkey can hack a bridge to open / close on like 1 map

[subtle bobcat]

I am doing my best to process why his signature ability is this way this late into the game's lifespan now.

[lavish wyvern]

His hacking is shit

[subtle bobcat]

It is, I thought "Neat, avionics disabled! ...What the hell does that do?!"

[placid abyss]

It is nice hacking vehicles so they stop, or can't shoot. Letting your team members get close to blow them up

[subtle bobcat]

I did get people in helis to abandon like three times in a conquest match but... in the long run that didn't really add up to much I think

It'd be nice if it caused like... a small amount of damage at least

[dense lotus]

can someone explain the "mixed metaphors" player card from the battle pass? is it saying that crawford doesn't understand why a teabag is called a teabag? or am i missing something here?

[languid relic]

[oblique axle]

guys I found something interesting.

[blazing spoke]

?

[lavish wyvern]

All ears

[oblique axle]

bf6 Fixed rocket can't turn 360 degrees

[blazing spoke]

Wdym ?

Like ground fired anti air missiles ?

[stray garden]

You mean the TOW?

[oblique axle]

yeah

[blazing spoke]

That’s good nothing beats the good old bf4 lock on where your rocket would do 8 360’s before hitting the target

[oblique axle]

for the bate cairo map

[subtle bobcat]

The EMR makes me want to swallow a C5, I don't like using it but its my only old era weapon D:

[oblique axle]

an the new lasb fighter jet can move like top gun2 su57

so crazy

[trail stump]

EMPs can be dangerous... https://medal.tv/games/battlefield-2042/clips/l3RL5UQivUc_exIcA?invite=cr-MSxOMjMsNDI5NDMzMzE1&v=0

[pseudo jolt]

Anyone up to Prototype? Can't apparently solo the elevator anymore

[oblique axle]

the bug fix

[pseudo jolt]

?

[languid relic]

i have shotgun and c5 kills left

[west storm]

Anything interesting with this update?

[acoustic pike]

its so hard to get the phantom skins

[languid relic]

is gvt 45 70 a shotgun ?

[west storm]

2 shotguns far left in collection weapon tab. First and last weapon i believe

One is a pump other is an auto

[blazing spoke]

It’s a rifle caliber so I don’t think so

[languid relic]

ty so i guess its mcs 880

[subtle bobcat]

The shield specialist makes me sad. :c

[west storm]

Why

[subtle bobcat]

When I turn the corner and there's someone with a shield, I can't turn and run fast enough, why is a shield a 1-shot anyway ;-;

[west storm]

Crazy how people use it and live. I use it and they find 1 pixel of me and I die

[tidal grove]

Any one getting matchmaking failed error? or is it only me? I saw all portal hosted server empty as well...

[timber flame]

i just got kicked out of the game randomly. like a dc. but i didn't get the dc screen. never happened like that before

[tidal grove]

I see

[timber flame]

i think the mode of the week server crashed or something

[sand turtle]

has the game been updated already? Saw a post yesterday about some update

[timber flame]

i downloaded it. i dunno if it kicked in yet

766 mb

[tidal grove]

I am getting matchmaking failed when i try to create solo match... Does it is working for you?

Here error image of matchmaking fail https://jumpshare.com/s/6db25qzdXn9RSvWOP7rr

[clear jolt]

They patched it

[old valley]

What level do you have to be before this weeks quests to only rely on quests to complete the pass?

[arctic timber]

What is going on with the matchmaking on Xbox? 1 minute for the spotlight mode is crazy

It's typically 7 seconds

[arctic timber]

Xbox?

I'm getting the same thing

[tidal grove]

@arctic timber I am on pc

See if you can browser portal servers... I am seeing all of them are empty and unable to connect any of them as well...

[grand spindle]

before I'm not sure, after I think it's 40.8 or so

[arctic timber]

Ah, well idk, I'm getting the same thing on Xbox, Im achievement hunting to help pass the time and I use solo to get to Master 12 as a jumpstart

[tidal grove]

I guess then need to wait till get patched or update... not sure...
I saw post few ppl are saying something keep happenning after update...

I can understand cross play scenario which make them difficult to handle

[fresh crypt]

Same here. Maybe to do with the update

[tidal grove]

I see but why no one is talking about it?

According to steam db https://steamdb.info/app/1517290/charts/
25k players right now playing...

[elder cargo]

im i the only one that got problems to unlock the Lynx. I played the beta both weekends

[fresh crypt]

I believe you contact EA and they will give it to you.

[ocean whale]

Anyone has the validating files when trying to launch the game after update?

[cerulean hazel]

whats the fasted way to get vheicle T1 ? I mean is there anything faster than spot assist on the car ?

[radiant pier]

get a friend to keep spawning into the vehicle and instantly redeploying

[stuck panther]

Has anyone actually been able to create a portal server?

[radiant pier]

it will work eventually, just need to spam the host button

[green breach]

Anyone know how to get the underloaded attachment for the XM8?

[stuck panther]

Ive done it for about 10 mins, never worked. Even longer?

Noone worried this problem will continue to bf6?

[green breach]

This is why afk farming should give you 0 XP. It's filling up all the portal aervers

[radiant pier]

its random, sometimes it takes only a few minutes, Sometimes longer. Blame all the shitty xp servers

[vestal raven]

Anyone having issues connecting on Xbox? I can't get online

[stuck panther]

Is there a reason why bots can't be offline? Why does it require Internet connection

[arctic timber]

Yep

[vestal raven]

Damnit. I just opened a bottle of wine to do my weekly missions with

[green breach]

Wait people don't finish those weeklies in a day?

[radiant pier]

some don't have the time or motivation for that

[vestal raven]

I chose to play a good game yesterday 😂

[pine void]

just went 85 n 20 with 1k points and only got one little blip of a single tier done, the amount of grinding they want is crazy for the pass

[thick ingot]

Uh I do

I’ve finished all the latest ones in a day

[torn wagon]

Has tier skip come out yet? How much is it

[tidal patio]

im on something stronger so i feel u 😄

[torn wagon]

Battlefield 2042 has got me addicted to hardcore drugs to ease the pain

[tidal patio]

^^^

[torn wagon]

Thanks EA

[pine void]

150 BC per tier

[torn wagon]

Wtf is a bc

[pine void]

battlefield coin idk what its called

[torn wagon]

How much is 150 BC equal to...

In irl money

[pine void]

I think 500 is $5

[torn wagon]

Hmmm

[fluid light]

hi everyone, can I still check missed weeks objectives in road to bf6 ?

[torn wagon]

I need to get on pc to do the math

[tidal patio]

yes

[fluid light]

great thanks

[hushed eagle]

you can, except weekly bonus missions for 10 points each week

[stark coral]

Yes but not the 1s that are worth 10 points

[fluid light]

I see thanks

[hushed eagle]

And look out for 2x XP events like we had last weekend. They will help catching up if u want to get everything

[formal dust]

its 2x XP every weekend

[forest idol]

Battlefield 2042. Just reached tier 60. Legit. Did not buy tiers. Glad this grind is over. By by bf 2042

[hushed eagle]

I will move slowly with weeklies for sure xd. Not grinding if don't have to

[sage inlet]

I don't want to touch this game any longer than I had to, was already at 40 so I just bought the rest

[green breach]

I'm nearly at 50 I'll probably just finish it. Save the money for battlepass on bf6

[sage inlet]

The game is still a month away and they probably won't have it day one so everyone has time to put $20 together

[hushed eagle]

If you just do weeklies on the weekends with 2x XP you can do it way faster than grinding.

[green breach]

I've been working on attachments. Something to do when ran out of weeklies

[hushed eagle]

I mean if ur having fun im not saying its not worth it. 😄 But if someone is only playing for Bf6 stuff, weeklies on weekends are the way for sure.

[green breach]

Though where is my underloaded XM8 attachment DICE?

[west storm]

Well you can buy tiers now

[green breach]

I just noticed we never got a gag gun in 2042.

[west storm]

Just saw it

[obsidian sentinel]

Just do the bonus missions each week then finish the rest during the triple xp weekends

[green breach]

I'm saving my money for the BF6 pass

[hushed eagle]

Am i the only one disappointed in that underbarrel GLs only come with 1 grenade by default? Also only having 2 C4s is a joke when they barely dmg tanks

[final basin]

Hopefully the bf6 is pass is good

I'll probably buy the deluxe edition thing, but that's because I've seen most thing about the game except the campaign and it looks good

[green breach]

Ya the two c4 thing was dumb

[hushed eagle]

I would hope they won't have a pass or anything like that but that's not gonna happen xd

[final basin]

They do have a pass

[green breach]

Ah ya passes are here to stay

[hushed eagle]

I want premium back lul

[green breach]

Same but not happening

[final basin]

If you buy the phantom edition you get a battlefield token

Whatever that is, probably the premium pass

[green breach]

2042 gave you 4 passes though with premium edition

[final basin]

4 passes wtf?

On release?

[green breach]

Full year or something

[hushed eagle]

And skins for crazy achievements and stuff like that.

[green breach]

Don't think it was elite ones with 25 tier skips though but still

[final basin]

I hope we get the same thing for bf6, but then again they probably gave people 4 passes due to the amount of bugs in 2042 at the start

[green breach]

True. 2042 was really bad at launch. And now only became meh.

[pearl ridge]

Hi why the fuck is this update making me download 110 gigabytes

[hushed eagle]

I am talking about premium for Bf3 and 4. We got like 10+ maps, new weapons, vehicles... And that was the only thing you had to buy for everything.

[green breach]

It's most likely reinstalling the whole game as well

[pearl ridge]

But why though?

[green breach]

Annoying but sure beats call of duty file sizes

[hushed eagle]

When did u start it last time?

[obsidian sentinel]

It splits the playerbase. Optional mtx are better tbh

[green breach]

Well that and shortcut bundles. But ya that was it

[obsidian sentinel]

You don't HAVE to pay for anything now

[pearl ridge]

Well this is particularly annoying because my Xbox has taken on a charming download style where it sits there not taking any data at all for an extended period before blatting through a large volume of data relatively quickly, which is straight up slower than just downloading it straight

[hushed eagle]

But you will also miss out on a bunch of stuff if you don't. Even if they are just cosmetics

[green breach]

Why they need to have the battlepass style of no expiration date

[hushed eagle]

It might be looking through your game files and updating them. It can be slower than just reinstalling the game though.

[pearl ridge]

It is at one percent progress because it takes an age for it to get through a single gigabyte with this strategy

Guess I’m not playing battlefield tonight

[obsidian sentinel]

idk if it happens to all xboxs or if you have a 3rd party drive but it's probably downloading the files then unpacking them

[marble kernel]

is there any reason to do the challenges if youve done the bpass?

or are they solely xp rewards

[sinful cave]

not at all

[marble kernel]

great, tysm!

[polar parrot]

just got off a personal portal server with bots

61 pips away from getting the chinese engineer...

[green breach]

Nope you can uninstall the game now

[marble kernel]

ill probably keep it as i sometimes enjoy portal but otherwise thank god the fomo is over.

[green breach]

I would if the file size wasn't so huge

[marble kernel]

yeah i get you. 5tb here so no worries there.

[green breach]

Wow that must have been expensive SSD

[marble kernel]

you get what you pay for i guess lol

[obtuse moat]

Do we know how much the tier skips cost?

[polar parrot]

150 BC per tier

[obtuse moat]

How much does 150 BC cost?

[hard quail]

I have a cheese platter to send you 😋

[marble kernel]

1.50

[green breach]

But I think you can only buy in increments of 500

[obtuse moat]

Damn, im at 45 right now, definitely not worth it

[marble kernel]

just hop in a 1.4 spearhead farm, minimise the game and go play something else. thats what i did. i got battlepass xp for playing spiderman lol

[midnight raven]

I had 200 BC and only 8 dots left so got a rank worked out great

[polar parrot]

yeah but thats boring

[marble kernel]

so is 2042. but you do you

[hushed eagle]

You can easily unlock everything under a few hours if you do it smart. I am not saying what to do with your money but so many ppl ask about tier skips and pass and stuff like that, now i understand why these things are so predatory now

[hybrid steppe]

Has anyone else noticed that ALL Breakthrough maps have changed to US attacking and Russia defending? Also you can't play as Russia in ANY of the Solo/Co-Op maps. I was trying to setup a game to grind out the Su-25 unlocks but I guess that's not possible anymore? Or rather it's not possible to grind out any of the Russian vehicles against bots.

[midnight raven]

It takes like 30h to unlock everything

[obsidian sentinel]

spending money to save yourself less than 10 hours of playtime

[hushed eagle]

Maybe if you just grind nonstop without any boosts and missions

[wary quiver]

anyone know how to get the prototype after the update? Got the skins and card, entered the codes but still dying in the elevator while prone

[obsidian sentinel]

If you optimize it you can definitely complete it within 10 hours. Only get the bonus missions every week then finish the rest of the missions on the last weekend of triple xp

[hushed eagle]

I havent played 10hours yet and already at 40

[midnight raven]

Even with boosts and missions you need like 1.2 million exp

[obsidian sentinel]

So like 15-20 games during the weekend?

[hushed eagle]

its closer to 800,000

[midnight raven]

And then after that amount of exp you have to complete every weekly and bonus mission

[hushed eagle]

no

[obsidian sentinel]

You get xp while doing the missions

[hushed eagle]

thats the raw xp if you dont do any of that

[midnight raven]

No that is exp required to get the points you need plus the ones from weeklies

[bold lark]

How to do this quest with bf3 weapons bruh

[marble kernel]

use acwr

got it in 1 game, great gun

[tidal patio]

just equip any weapon that has "bf* vault" written underneath it

[hushed eagle]

I did it with aek just for the nostalgy

[compact plaza]

alr 2042 is cooked we can now pay to skip tiers on the free pass

saw the patch notes just now

[marble kernel]

battlefield as a franchise is cooked lol

[hushed eagle]

F2000 was my favourite weapon in Bf3... surprised it is not a Bf3 weapon now...

[compact plaza]

how long did it take them to patch the sws and masterkey bug

[marble kernel]

its patched? lol

[compact plaza]

when did iwo jima release? like a couple weeks ago

[tidal patio]

few hrs

[compact plaza]

yeah it was patched last night

[nimble steeple]

when the pass dropped

[compact plaza]

bro the masterkey bug was found during the release ofiwo jima

like 2 weeks ago

noo i think 3?

[marble kernel]

its so weird how badly iwo jima fits into the game. like why tf does it reuse ww2 music and didnt call it scarred or something lol

[compact plaza]

but it took them this long to fix a simple damage value bug

[marble kernel]

1 year between haven and iwo btw

[tidal patio]

they hotfix it within few hrs but didnt release a patch for few weeks

[tidal patio]

tbh iwo is probs the best 2042 map

[marble kernel]

theres too much tonal dissonance unfortunately. stranded, renewal, reclaimed… iwo jima? plus no new music so it just doesnt work

also a naval assault in the year 2042

it went so well in the 1940s lol

[tidal patio]

breaktrough on iwo atm is so unnbalanced with attackers honestly having it so much easier with all the vehicles

[compact plaza]

cap, those last 2 points are bad choke points

[marble kernel]

breakthrough on iwo is one of the worst multiplayer experiences ive ever had lol

[tidal patio]

idk if its my teams then or what but i always loose on def

[tidal patio]

good for farming

[marble kernel]

so is your friend in portal lol

[tidal patio]

rel

[final basin]

This is exactly why iwo jima should not be in 2042, the map design isnt that good and it just doesn't belong in the game

[marble kernel]

precisely.

[forest tundra]

Wasn't todays patch supposed to give us the Masterkey back?

[final basin]

Tbh I think 2042 probably has one of the worst maps in the franchise as a whole

[marble kernel]

kaliedoscope?

[final basin]

I know the original maps they developed were much worse and added cover to them, but it's still so bad

[tidal patio]

i platinumed 2042, then moved to bf5 and platinumed that. BFV iwo feels so much better tbh

[marble kernel]

i love how the reworks were adding trash and dead tanks to the map lol

[final basin]

Yes that's 100% the worst one

[dreamy cypress]

oh gosh remember when it was a running simulator during release?

[final basin]

It was so bad, I don't even know how the director thought those maps were good for launch

Thankfully bf6 kind of fixed that issue, siege of cairo is a really good map imo

[young aspen]

Hello,
New to BF 2042, I would like to know what they call "Utility Weapons". You have to get 10 kills in the missions of the 2nd week.
Thanks in advance and have fun.

[tall urchin]

Even peak which is the worst of the beta is actually better than any bf2042 maps ahah

[marble kernel]

oh well at least 2042s soundtrack is good.

[marble kernel]

even renewal? :(

[sterile chasm]

It basically means shotguns

[blazing spoke]

Do you mean the tactical weapon challenge?

[tall urchin]

sneaky corridors to avoid tanks lines of sight is great. Renewal was probably the less worse of bf2042 but still...

Also they listened to the community that said we stuck too much on C/D so they'll rework the map for a bigger and better balanced one for release

[tidal patio]

go to classes, weapon selection, it will be the category on the very far right including shotgun and crosbow etc

[blazing spoke]

My music must be turned off cause I can’t say I’ve noticed it

[marble kernel]

renewals always been my favourite especially with its music. so haunting.

[blazing spoke]

I’ll have to check my settings to see if I’m missing out

[marble kernel]

eh its quite quiet. i dont blame you.

[sterile chasm]

Bf 1 ost superior and i dont accept other opinnions

[marble kernel]

thats ok, no one asked lol

[blazing spoke]

Especially in games of breakthrough or rush with so much going on it makes sense I haven’t picked up on it

[marble kernel]

yeah 100%.

[blazing spoke]

Next time I’m on I’ll take the time to stop for a sec 😭🤣

[final basin]

Yeah renewal is a good map, I like the aesthetic of the map it looks like it belongs in 2042 at least lol

[dreamy cypress]

lol masterkey is still disabled, the damage done and ptsd with the bug was so bad it seems

[marble kernel]

id say give haven, flashpoint and spearheads music a listen @blazing spoke. theyre quite entry level in terms of the themes and structure of the soundtrack.

if you vibe with the themes, try breakaway, manifest and renewal. fantastic themes of climate change and a dying world!

[marble kernel]

yeah 100% its so pretty.

speaking of did they ever fix renewal deathmatch? or is it still broken

[tall urchin]

You play without surrounding envrionmental sounds ? For me it's quite impossible to hear any music during a game

[half tide]

hello what are bf 2 or 3 weapons in the game ? is there a shotgun?

[blazing spoke]

Yeah I’ll have to check it out next time I’m on
I will say from the time I spent in the beta of bf6 it does a very good job of making you feel immersed in the environment

[marble kernel]

i think i go 100 40 45 on my audio settings.

[blazing spoke]

If you scroll thru ar’s,smg’s and lmg’s you’ll see what weapons are from which game

I did that challenge with the M416 for example

[marble kernel]

100%, though personally i think bf6s soundtrack is really really mid. me and my friends are still unsure if its placeholder labs music lol

[half tide]

oh i see what you mean thank you!

[blazing spoke]

Yeah I can’t say I ever noticed any good music but most of the time I was terrified like I was sitting in a trench irl

[marble kernel]

lool fair

[tall urchin]

Nostalgia aside, bf2142 main theme is quite legendary, bf2 comes second. I recently played bf1942 for fun and the musics were much more present

[blazing spoke]

Definitely a lot of moments that gets the blood pumping that’s for sure

[marble kernel]

i havent heard 2142s music. i mostly just like what hildur did in terms of the climate change themes. plus… its hildur 😍

[final basin]

I agree, although I barely played 2142 i played a lot of bf2 and that game was so good

[young aspen]

Not sur, it(s in the Free Pass, Week 2, 10 kills with utilities weapon (doubled with the GhostMaker r10)

[blazing spoke]

I forget if it was 1 or 2 that had the gold attack chopper mission but holyyyy

[blazing spoke]

Yeah that’s shotguns and stuff

[swift oriole]

shotgun tab at the end.

[blazing spoke]

It’ll be on the very far right of the weapon selection in primary’s

[tall urchin]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mk4wEAO07hM

If you want. It's a remix of bf2 theme but more futuristic (back in days)

[tall urchin]

And when BF3 dropped, I don't know they might have lost their own music right as it came to some samples reworked as loud electro.

[final basin]

Idk what they were feeding the battlefield music/trailer team back in 2011, they produced some crazy things

They knew how to market a game

[fresh crypt]

In my opinion the shotty is broken in 2042, like BF6. Easy weekly challenge to knock out

[forest tundra]

Wasn't todays patch supposed to give us the Masterkey back?

[marble kernel]

meh. that does absolutely nothing for me i cant lie. it really does just sound like a somewhat more futuristic rendition of the bf theme.

heres an example of one of 2042s more somber tracks. it really leans heavily into the suffocating future we are headed for in our own world at this rate.
https://youtu.be/18RxkHgNAGg?si=vUTCLC7tP-Cs2fci

heartbreaking and alien.

[forest tundra]

I can't see it either on the M5A3, AK5C, AK-24, LCMG or SWS-10?

From the patch notes: "Balance pass with SWS-10 and Armor Piercing Rounds and the Masterkey."

[marble kernel]

what was up with the sws10?

[forest tundra]

Did I misinterpret?

[forest tundra]

Each pellet gave you the damage from your primary amiunition type, 4 shotting tanks with AP 😛

[marble kernel]

isnt sws a sniper?

[final basin]

The mec theme in battlefield 2 was legendary https://youtu.be/S0aXAm0jqd0?si=rf7ey6CfojoysxpH

[tall urchin]

Feels desert / space themed but not my cup of tea tbh, I have no feeling coming out of this. It's would fit better in a frpg for example but not for a fps...

[marble kernel]

whats an frpg?

also, space themed? interesting you got that from it lol

[tall urchin]

fantasy rpg / medieval rpg which is more atmospheric than a fps game

[marble kernel]

MEDIEVAL rpg. damn

[tall urchin]

around 2:20

[marble kernel]

thats a low blow xD

its moreso themed around our changing world and the storms thatll decimate our planet.

[tall urchin]

Did you play the seasons ?

[marble kernel]

“seasons”?

[tall urchin]

seasonal content in bf2042

[marble kernel]

i played the maps and used the weapons yeah

[tall urchin]

It seems during seasons there were more storytelling than now

[marble kernel]

theres no campaign. any story they had is irrelevant lol sorry dice

L dice :(

common dice l as the kids say lol

[tall urchin]

No campaign but storytelling it seems (well some people said that). I'm now only able to confirm the storytelling related to bf3/bf4 campaigns through the phantom stuff.

[glass lichen]

whenever i join a server that isn't bots i just die repeatedly from behind without any time to respond, just super un-fun

[marble kernel]

welcome to battlefield

play halo instead lol

[glass lichen]

haven't played halo since the second one lol

[silent marten]

How do you go down the secret elevator without dying?

[tall urchin]

It could have been good like the "last stand" in bf4 which included a map with the direct link to 2142. but here it's just like ok we go fight on maps but not much stories aside (I personally don't feel it). if we don't check for the story on the internet we don't have a lot of elements now. Ok we have "some" levolution with the rocket for example but we don't know the goal. we just know it's a "strategic point" to keep or capture

[glass lichen]

lol just died again, this time the anti tank lock on just decided to take 10 years so a slow vehicle could gradually just drive into me at a snail's pace

[tidal patio]

last stand in bf4 was amazing, it added futuristic weapons while making it feel like current era somehow

[tall urchin]

yes it was because they wanted to do the direct link with bf2142 and the creation of the titans

[arctic timber]

What's going on with the servers

I can't connect to Any games

[swift oriole]

tried to quit the game and load back up? usually fixes it for me.

[arctic timber]

Yep tried it, even portal say 0 player on all server

[arctic timber]

Nevermind it was a version mismatch, the update didn't get properly pushed to my console, I rebooted it and it pulled the update

[rugged badge]

Prone

[silent crow]

How you guys doing on the free pass?

[rugged badge]

Finished tier 40

[arctic timber]

Almost at 40

[silent marten]

I did and still kept dying

[rugged badge]

After the elevator?

Wait. Do you have the Phantom Program skins?

[silent marten]

No in the elevator

[rugged escarp]

Any tips on multikill with explosives?

[silent marten]

I have the assault skin

[rugged badge]

They patched some parts of it today so maybe the elevator also requires the skins

[swift oriole]

go blow up transport vehicles,

[rugged badge]

Equipped? I know its stupid but I need to ask

[silent marten]

Ya

[fresh crypt]

For me I went into Iwo Jima map with bots and at the tunnel objective just blasted away at the enemy with the tank. Must of had 10 or more multi kills lol

[arctic timber]

Correction as I was rebooting my console to pull the update I'm working on tier 44

[blazing spoke]

Iwo jima breakthrough as a defender I used land mines on the first 5 phases

People usually rush objectives in vehicles

[silent crow]

Easiest way, Iwo Jima breakthrough, be on defenders side, position yourself on the beach, wait for the MAVs to hit the beach, throw 3 C5, booooom

[languid relic]

Hello friends time for the final tier push!

[glass lichen]

how is everyone so fast in this game? can't press anything fast enough before someone's zoomed halfway across the map lol

[silent crow]

they move with purpose

You can sprint and slide in this game like a madman

[fresh crypt]

I'll try that. the C5 is the only challenge left for me

[rugged escarp]

They usually shoot me before I reach them though hahaha

[silent crow]

if you wanna throw c5s and not get caught doing it, use smoke grenades

[blazing spoke]

That’s why land mines work good

Place them somehwere a vehicle will try to flank

And then go off and do other challenges

Just check in on them from time to time make sure they weren’t destroyed

[silent crow]

People seriously underestimate the power of smokes in this game. I swear folks love going into sites dry without any smoke, never works. Unless youre playing this week and no one is running engineer lol

[blazing spoke]

The amount of games that I’ve seen lost that woulda been won had people started throwing smokes

[silent crow]

Im that falck that throws 2 smokes and then gives you another 3 smokes with launcher

[blazing spoke]

Like even as assault you can have a smoke grenade launcher,smoke grenades and then a smoke grenade launcher on your primary AR

I was doing that today and just flooded objectives with smoke

[silent crow]

thank you for your service

[blazing spoke]

Only issue was no one wants to drop an ammo box smh

I just want to smoke spam

[silent crow]

they never do 🙂

[blazing spoke]

And that’s why objectives don’t get captured 😔

[muted robin]

IS THE SERVERS DOWN

Is the servers down?!?!?!?

[silent crow]

Dont think so, restart your game and check for updates.

[muted robin]

Oh nvm it's my connection I think its raining

[blazing spoke]

I’m in your walls

[glass lichen]

lol there was a guy who snuck into our spawn with a car and lay prone in a corner with a bunch of people just nearby completely missing him while looking, so I got a drone and flew it right into his face and tagged him.

[silent crow]

I've won enough and given this game too much sweat to care at this point. I just need weekly rewards because at this rate im only getting less than 1 dot for the pass, and thats being at the top of the leaderboard consistently.

I think im 49 on the pass

[muted robin]

When do I get pic perms

[languid relic]

man i like shotgun, its like a sniper

[muted robin]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-annoyed-stare-side-eye-gif-16732086699915766519

[blazing spoke]

Yeah likewise idrc about winning but still
When a win is righttttttttttttt there and the team doesn’t wanna push it’s so annoying

[silent crow]

shouldve seen it before the nerf

[blazing spoke]

Even with smoke they go nowhere

[muted robin]

Is black Ridge Canada a good map

[blazing spoke]

Yeah I’m 47-48 just gonna get on and do weekly challenges here and there

[languid relic]

it was nerfed lol ? i can shoot players across the map

[muted robin]

Whats the best gun to use a a support

[fresh crypt]

You have satellite internet?

[silent crow]

you shouldve seen the 12g auto on REDACTED a couple of seasons ago

[languid relic]

umm idk im new to bf

[silent crow]

If you wanna win every gunfight, use the F2000

[wooden flicker]

PP29

[glass lichen]

just started using a soflam and trolling aircraft who start panicking and spamming flares is fun

[languid relic]

damn

[blazing spoke]

Love seeing all the new people to the series since the 6 beta
I’ve been playing since 1942 so it’s great

[wooden flicker]

Whys everyone use that

[languid relic]

game is same as cod but map is bigger

[silent crow]

its the best gun in the game.

[wooden flicker]

But it looks weird

[rancid tide]

It’s not good for long range in my opinion

[blazing spoke]

It’s just a laser beam

[blazing spoke]

I don’t know about the SAME but there’s definitely similarities 😭

[wooden flicker]

Really I thought it has alot of recoil

[languid relic]

what i hate about bf is that is just as cod, equipment spamming

[wooden flicker]

In long range

[blazing spoke]

It does but it’s also very controllable if you tap fire in full auto

[silent crow]

I still manage medium to long range kills with it with the standard grip, K8 Holo, standard mag, standard barrel.

[blazing spoke]

But the ak12 I think it is that’s probably my favourite all round AR

[wooden flicker]

Is the attachments to use short barrel, laser?

[silent crow]

Solid weapon

you fellas shouldve seen the RM68 on release, good lord

[languid relic]

how do i unlock wepons, i see alot of weps locked

[blazing spoke]

Decent at every range but close ranges you might die to fast fire rate guns

[silent crow]

Hover over them in the main menu, itll tell you.

[fresh crypt]

Definitely controllable recoil though

[languid relic]

oh ty

[wooden flicker]

I use VHX bc an old post said it was good

[silent crow]

used to be king

[wooden flicker]

But literally I never see ppl use it

Its the FCAR And KFS2000 alot

PP19 AC9

[silent crow]

Throughout the seasons of the game, theyve added new guns and have been meta everytime. Its the same thing right now, F2000 is king but there are still other guns that are great options

[languid relic]

oh yes now adays 90% of players use that

[silent crow]

AK12, RM68, PP29, ADVANSYS, Prototype , VHX, all solid picks. Im sure im missing a few others.

[wooden flicker]

I tried using RM68 but it felt so bad

For the long range

[silent crow]

with the right attachments, the gun still has 0 recoil imo

[glass lichen]

seems i'm getting instantly headshot by snipers in spawn who apparently need to time to aim, whereas i'm lucky if i hit someone's foot with it lol

[wooden flicker]

Oop I didnt have any

[tidal patio]

ak5c

[muted robin]

Is the pp29 good

[silent crow]

Yes 100%

[wooden flicker]

My friend says the barrel and grip attachments dont do anything rlly

So to take shortbarrel and lasers every time

[silent crow]

id beg to differ

[hard quail]

No one likes the Ak24?

[wooden flicker]

I see ppl going 200 kills with it so yh

[languid relic]

never used

[muted robin]

Is the pp29 good in breakthrough

[wooden flicker]

Yh

[silent crow]

I gotta go take care of somethin for work but ill be back in a hour or so if anyone wants to play and needs help with their challenges.

[glass lichen]

welp, back to afk farming. tried getting some of this week's missions done and it's just a terrible experience, easily one of the most annoying games i've played

[wooden flicker]

Its for ppl trying to get maximum kpm

Also wall hack

[silent crow]

If youre new to the game, the chaos of it all can be a lot. But throughout 1-2 Iwo breakthroughs, you can knock out a ton of challenges.

[median ridge]

guys am I the only guy who still likes this game

[glass lichen]

just got to trying the soflam mission and even hiding in rear spawn just spotting aircraft i was getting instantly sniped in the head, not fun lol

[median ridge]

[hard quail]

cheese platter

[blazing spoke]

It’s great imo one of the better all round weapons doesn’t exceed in anything but also isn’t terrible at anything

Hardly any recoil tho

[fresh crypt]

Do it from a bush lol

[polar parrot]

god this week's challenges were so easy I finished like 9/10 of them before school

[hard quail]

I think it's fun but I havent played bf since 42 so maybe my perspective isnt relative enough

[polar parrot]

I hope next week's challenges are also as easy

[silver plover]

I've been using it recently with a silencer on it.

[blazing spoke]

Yeah I haven’t used it much since I unlocked the f2000 but it’s a great weapon

[boreal steppe]

Why haven't the dev fix the progression bug, it's still here since launch. Leveling up does not progress battlepass dots or the season medal points....

[silent crow]

Ez af

[hard quail]

curious is this for players who suck?

[untold panther]

No, people who want to play extrahardcore

[polar parrot]

most of these you can do in like one or two matches

[silent crow]

Interesting choice letting people buy tiers of the free pass lol

[silent crow]

Did all of mine in 1 match and like 4 mins of another

[languid relic]

i didnt find the tier buy i nthe store

[untold panther]

Try it out and you’ll see why people like it so much

[languid relic]

bt i have 1 tier left so im good

[polar parrot]

it's in the free pass page

[hard quail]

ahhh my bad no bots kk

[untold panther]

Yeah no bots. Only real people

[hard quail]

I think I will thanks

[languid relic]

can we ask a mod to allow us pictures in here ?

[harsh shuttle]

that would be good

[tidal patio]

^^^

[languid relic]

@viscid bone can you allow us picture sharing in here ?

[faint sail]

yo what do i search in here to find what lvl id need to be to only do weeklies

[tidal patio]

i think it was lvl 32.5 by last week so if you had that youre ok

[faint sail]

ah yeah nah im not even close i dont think

im 36 with all weeklies done

[obsidian sentinel]

40.5 by the end of this week I think

[faint sail]

hmm okay only like...12 or so games of conquest

cause i suck

[obsidian sentinel]

Theres double xp every weekend and the last few weekends are triple xp if you want to get those last couple levels then

[tidal patio]

try iwo jima breaktrough and casper drone spotting enemies, i used to get 150+ assists so thats a lot of xp u could gather

[fickle wharf]

38

[wooden flicker]

I was SOFLAMING whole game

And at the end it says I only mark 10 enemys I know there was more

[acoustic pike]

what rifle do u guys think is the best one

[faint sail]

myeah spotting is broken asf in this game

[harsh shuttle]

F2000

[acoustic pike]

why

[harsh shuttle]

high magazine, low recoil, its just best for me

[blissful solstice]

SFAR

But that also depends on your play style

[cunning steppe]

Battlepass Complete! 🙏 🥳

[acoustic pike]

okay ill try it all thanks man

[frigid lava]

are there some BF6 rewards from playing BF2042 right now?

[harsh shuttle]

have you been sleping last 2 weeks ? 😄

ofcourse there is 28 rewards

[frigid lava]

yes! haha - did I miss it??

[harsh shuttle]

No! you can still grind it

[frigid lava]

dang - all cosmetics ..or...?

[harsh shuttle]

Skins, badges etc etc

[frigid lava]

thanks! do you know what the end-date is?

[wooden flicker]

Oct 7

[harsh shuttle]

So question, isn't the M1 Garand x2 scope supposed to be a chevron/arrow? I just see a block. Square. A shape with 4 right angles.

I am confused.

[stray garden]

Why are you not just spotting people🥀

Point for auto spot

[wild agate]

map change takes so long in this game...

[torn wagon]

i think cuz it preloads shaders before each map, instead of doing at game launch

Games like COD and Marvel rivals do it at game launch

[lilac dust]

Guys. I think I'm officially cooked

[torn wagon]

what happned

[lilac dust]

I thought the bonus mission this week was 25m or MORE ..... so I went out of my way to get as far away as I could with a long range scope and i was wondering for so long why It didn't progress

[subtle bobcat]

Oh I cant post a picture wtf

Now how am I gonna show the bs that is this scope xD

[torn wagon]

[insert gif here]

[lilac dust]

I was like "Hell nah I can't be on stadium or redacted. I need to be on a longer range map..... Meanwhile all this time I could've been doing the shotgun challenge and getting that done at the same time 🤣

[stray garden]

(Non political) did y’all hear Israel attacked hamas in Doha, Qatar? They’re attacking hourglass

[wheat shadow]

there's #screenshots-and-clips

[subtle bobcat]

Oh. And I have no perms

[wheat shadow]

id:customize for that, there's a community content role that should unlock the screenshots/clips channel for you 🙂

[silent crow]

You have to read brother ...

[subtle bobcat]

Thanks!

[faint sail]

"engine disabled, tracks disabled"
tank drives away full speed

huh

[lilac dust]

Hell no. Reading is overrated. I play games blindfolded 24/7

[uneven egret]

has the update made it so the air to air lock on missles only do 45 damage?

[languid relic]

we did it !1 tier 60!!

[uneven egret]

just hit a hokum twice with the lock ons and it said 45

[green breach]

Hits uninstall button

[languid relic]

EXIT GAME

[devout ocean]

Whenever i try to launch the game it shows "An error on our end caused the launch to fail". Anyone knows how to fix this? (I have secure boot enabled but its still not working)

[boreal steppe]

can't believe they still haven't fix the bug where the round won't end since the released of this game... no wonder so why so many stopped playing it all these years

[final basin]

Thankfully more bf6 singleplayer news on September 26

[pseudo jolt]

Anyone up to helping with the robot healing easter egg in Redacted?

[silent marten]

Why can't they just let someone solo the eater egg to get the gun. Not everyone have people to join them to help

[radiant pier]

the gun is the worst gun in the game, not worth the effort. Dont bother

[silent marten]

I enjoy doing the Easter eggs I did the one in bf1 all solo but can't on this one

[boreal steppe]

2042 was developed to torture people 😉

[faint sail]

currently in a game of rush that wont end

like its just keeps going

[radiant pier]

what exactly can't u do solo tho? I didn't bother looking into what u need to do after going down the elevator on iwo but everything before that can be completed solo

[radiant pier]

ez xp

With the release of patch 9.2.1 today we fixed a bug with the Masterkey Attachment and it has now been re-enabled!

​ · Sep 9, 2025, 4:08 PM

[radiant pier]

took them long enough

[silent marten]

Unless what I was told was wrong about after doing the servers you have to the the operator stuff in same match

[radiant pier]

servers? u mean the kaleido step?

[silent marten]

Ya

[radiant pier]

u can still complete everything solo at that stage

[subtle bobcat]

Had someone in chat telling the whole team to go on one specific point.
We were 400 to 3 tickets so euh... wasn't really much of a reason to start moving across the map lol

[radiant pier]

I'm pretty sure the literal last step of iwo requires 4 players tho

[silent marten]

So you can just leave the game to do the 1000 grapple damage?

Was told had to be in same game

[radiant pier]

that ones optional, not needed for the easter egg/gun

the entire secret phantom trainee or whatever that challenge is called is optional

[pseudo jolt]

The Synth healing one sucks ass

[silent marten]

Oh ok

[radiant pier]

u need to use a custom server with damage scaled down otherwise its pretty much impossible

[pseudo jolt]

We are using one with reducted world dmg to .1

[radiant pier]

then it should be easy, just keep healing him with falck

[pseudo jolt]

2 people

both Falks

[radiant pier]

i did it solo lol

AA6CJ7

[pseudo jolt]

Do I need to do the dumb ass panel shooting thing again?

[sudden valve]

yep doing it solo is super easy took me 5 minutes

[radiant pier]

yep

[sudden valve]

I did no panel shooting and the support skins worked fine for me

[radiant pier]

didn't work for me when without shooting the panels

[sudden valve]

maybe you messed something small up the firsst time but I have literally never even interacted with the panels and I got the skins ez first try

[mighty stump]

does the free pass tier skip actually exist?? I can't find it anywhere and nobody has made any mention of actually being able to use it

[radiant pier]

u can buy skips for 150 bfc each

[mighty stump]

where do you have to go for that though

it's not on the free pass page or the battlefield coins page

[radiant pier]

hover over a locked tier and it gives u the option bottom left-ish

[mighty stump]

hm alright, I'll try again later today, thanks

[pseudo jolt]

Trying this code now

[lavish patrol]

Weeklies done. See you all next week!

[pseudo jolt]

How do y'all don't even shoot the panels and get to spawn him?

Same thing was said in that YouTube tutorial: "you never need to do this again after the first time", yet I can't hack or interact the Synth spawn without shooting the panels first

[radiant pier]

shooting the panels only takes like 1min, just do it lol

[wary mason]

[polar parrot]

Do achievements no work in portal?

[radiant pier]

don't think they work against pve ai, only pvp ai

[pseudo jolt]

Yeah, when it registers those shots.

[polar parrot]

yeah I used pvp ai

[pseudo jolt]

Twice now it hasn't for the first time

[polar parrot]

I got a roadkill in a UH-60 but the achievement won't register for me

[sudden valve]

because its an airkill

[radiant pier]

it always registered for me, just shoot the right panels and make sure ur gun is set to single fire

[polar parrot]

what

[sudden valve]

lmfao I'm just kidding idk

[lavish patrol]

Are you doing it on portal or pve?

[polar parrot]

personal portal server with pvp ai

[lavish patrol]

Try it with a ground vehicle, that's what I did.

[polar parrot]

granted I did hop off the helicopter the split second before it smacked into some poor schmuck but it registers as a UH-60 kill

[polar parrot]

no I wasn't talking about the weekly missions

[lavish patrol]

Ah

[polar parrot]

I was talking about the achievement "One Careful Owner"

[lavish patrol]

Misunderstood there

[pseudo jolt]

@radiant pier Thanks, the code you provided actually was reduced to .1. The one, "easier", provided by the YouTuber was wrong.

[wooden flicker]

Whats difference between masterkey and buck

[pure pike]

Can now buy pass skips.. I can uninstall the game

[radiant pier]

if ur talking about the gp30 buck, one is a uderbarrel grenade launcher, the other one is an underbarrel shotgun

[wooden flicker]

I thought there was shotgun attachment that wasnt masterkey

[radiant pier]

m26 mass

[wooden flicker]

And I use it for some achevment

[stuck jolt]

lol buying pass skips for a free battle pass, what has fomo done to people

[wooden flicker]

Is there difference of mass and masterkey

[pure pike]

There's an underbarrel m320, and underbarrel m26

[pure pike]

Two different guns

[pure pike]

I dont like playing the game. Forcing me to play a game to get unlocks for a game I want to play is torture.

[radiant pier]

40.8 is easily reachable after that u can just rely on weeklies

[split pike]

Is the pass skip out now

[stuck jolt]

Probably

[lilac elk]

Yes it’s 150 coins per tier

[pure pike]

Yikes.

[split pike]

And that equates to how many dollars

[polar parrot]

like a dollar I think

iirc you can't buy like below uhhhh
was it 500 or 250 I don't remember

[glass lichen]

i already had 200 coins, so i've just skipped one tier since i can anyway and i'm not spending it on anything else lol

[mossy ridge]

what was the "balance pass" done on the sws10? did they just fix the bug or actually change stats

[timber flame]

they said "Should we balance it? Nah, Pass."

[pseudo jolt]

Can the Prototype claimed with just 2 people?

[radiant pier]

u need 4 ppl that have done the entire easter egg including the operator skins afaik (except the secret challenge)

[ember walrus]

Who’s buying free skins

[radiant pier]

idiots

[timber flame]

are the pay barbies worse than the free barbies somehow?

[pseudo jolt]

Damn, now I just need to hunt 2 extra people just to ride a damn elevator without dying

[iron junco]

[radiant pier]

u can go down there alone, but u won't be able to proceed after that

also u just need to lay down to not get killed

[pseudo jolt]

Doesn't work anymore, they patched it.

Tried to do that earlier today after getting the keycard and operator skins. No matter how I am in the elevator, I get squashed

[radiant pier]

they either changed it to patch the exploit or u didn't complete the full easter egg/forgot to equip certain stuff

[stuck jolt]

Works for me still

I’m in it right now

[pseudo jolt]

tf. I tried twice, first try proning after activating the lift and second time proning before

[crimson lance]

Does any and all scopes on a sniper rifle give sniper glint in the game while using recon class?

[radiant pier]

u are 100% missing an easter egg step on a different map

[pseudo jolt]

and twice I mean I did the whole reload map, enter code. Tried like 12 times with different ways.

[radiant pier]

i think its only for 6x and higher

[elder cargo]

Is the prototype patched. I just get killed in the elevator

[radiant pier]

the exploit itself yes

the gun isn't worth the hustle anyway

worst gun in the game

[pseudo jolt]

I've done all of them (now). Skins for both assault and support, the keycard, and all the phantom things

[radiant pier]

make sure to equip the right tag, background, skin and charm

[elder cargo]

But if i have the card and entered the code and after that i get killed

[unique oriole]

I had access to the last Battlefield Playtest. Do I need to apply again and wait for an email verification this time?

[radiant pier]

go prone in the elevator

[radiant pier]

no, u just need to get lucky to get another invite

[elder cargo]

Done that 2

[unique oriole]

👍

[radiant pier]

well @stuck joltsaid it still works solo so no idea what ur doing wrong then

[pseudo jolt]

Is there a right set of those or will any of them do?

[radiant pier]

Not sure i always just equipped the latest phantom swag

[languid relic]

hello bf friends

[wary mason]

looking for engineer lis friend for iwo jima breakthrough to repair c5. dm

Naah, we died.

[radiant pier]

no idea then ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[pseudo jolt]

I'd rather do the BF1 easter egg again, even though it tooks 5x more time and almost kms

[radiant pier]

Ur doing all this work for a gun u will never use cus its ass lol

[pseudo jolt]

I'm a man of sheer will and live out of spite. I'm getting that gun. lmao

[past flint]

Any ideas how do I fricking get the damage inflicted with c5 challenge?

[zenith tulip]

Pretend you work for Osama

[red knot]

I’ve completed the battle pass!!!!

[silent marten]

Can anyone help with the heal synth

[vast beacon]

attach the C5 to vehicles and activate

easy

[past flint]

Unfortunately this sht doesnt work

[vast beacon]

wdym doesn't work

[past flint]

I have tried, but didnt work

[arctic grove]

I just threw it into groups of players over and over again until I got it done.

[sterile chasm]

If nothings working even tho ur killing people with it then most likely it could be bugged for you

[arctic grove]

Stadium was great for that as clumps are the name of the game for that Breakthrough.

[sterile chasm]

I just smoked a room / obj on breaktrough, ran in and started whipping c5 if i saw something move

They think they are safe but jokes on them they will see jesus soon

[mighty arch]

I just keep getting dxerror, all other games works fine

[pseudo jolt]

What a pain in the ass. Apparently 4-man team, each with different tag is the way to get up there

[sterile chasm]

Up where and wdym different tag

[pseudo jolt]

To get the Prototpe

[silent marten]

Can anyone help with the Easter egg heal synth

[sterile chasm]

Do you need all 4 people to get it now? Cant get it solo with the "legit" method?

Or was getting it solo ever the legit method

[silent marten]

Did not mean that as a reply msg

[pseudo jolt]

Try AA6CJ7 code

Syntax posted it, worked wonders for us (2 man team but easy to solo)

[pseudo jolt]

Yeah, they just patched it last night. Solo isn't possible anymore.

[sterile chasm]

Rip

I didnt check this morning if i still had it or not. Atleast had my phantom skins.

[pseudo jolt]

Bright side is, you can find a portal map of people doing it. Shady side, you need to do ALL the steps rather than just the skin and keycard one.

I learned about the gun yesterday and was like "I'll grind it in the morning", only to find out they just patched the "cheat".

[sterile chasm]

Not that it matters, the gun is dookie anyways. Only for collection purposes

[pseudo jolt]

Gotta catch them all.

[sterile chasm]

And i respect that

[pseudo jolt]

At least the revolver in BF1 hit like a heroin addicted water buffalo. That was a proper secret unlockable

[sterile chasm]

Real, peacekeeper is hella good

Only thing that sucks about it is that it take 500 years to reload

[pseudo jolt]

Aye, but was capable of damage even Flex Seal couldn't fix. Loved that thing. I wish you could bring those guns into newer games. Even if nerfed. Sort of like a status item of having played the game it belongs to, and suffered through the time it took to unlock it.
Major L for Dice for not implementing that.

[uncut veldt]

Maybe late to the party but I just logged in after a week again; is the pass buyable now?

[silent marten]

How did you do it on this one I can't get the synth out?

[pseudo jolt]

You need to do the panel shooting thing and hacking again. However it is worth it.

[gleaming ice]

Seems like it
