- Battlefield 2042
is here. And although all of us know what to do in a Battlefield game, there is
some stuff you may not know about this specific one.
10 Things Battlefield 2042 Is not Telling You.
Starting off with number 10:
you can do some crazy stuff with the wingsuit, The wingsuit which you can use if you select the special Sundance is fun to just screw around with, but you might not realize how effective it can be.
On top of being great for getting around the map quickly, there's a lot of fun stuff you can do with a wingsuit
and in the proper hands you can do some pretty impressive stunts.
Here are a few things about it you might not realize.
You don't actually need to get very high up to start gliding with a wingsuit.
It has to be higher than something you can vault on top of but only just barely.
So anything where you have to climb up just a little bit more in order to get on top of it
like shipping containers or
these trucks. These are things you can start gliding from.
Anything lower than that,
it's less likely to work. But as long as the ground is flat,
you can cross a pretty huge
distance pretty quickly by gliding.
But at a certain point, it
does start to slow down considerably.
The trick to avoid that is
to chain together glides. So if you want to get around really fast,
continuously glide to
ledges, like on Hour Glass, there are these trucks everywhere.
You use them to chain
together multiple glides, and you'll get around super fast.
And because you can cancel
a glide and start one up again, there's also potential for some pretty cool
tricks.
I'm not really good enough
to pull this sort of thing off, but one fairly easy trick you can do is equip
some C5
and then glide to a tank. And
if you come at them from behind there's a good chance they won't see you
coming.
Plant the C4, glide off,
done. It's a great way to take out enemy vehicles, which is good because
vehicles are
by far the biggest threat
in Battlefield 2042.
Number 9
the best guns currently with only 22 available at launch and that's not a huge amount of guns.
So it's no surprise people
quickly found favorites. Two guns in particular sort of stand above all the
others,
the PP-29, also known as
the Bison, and the SVK. The PP-29, which I enjoy continuously saying PP,
which unlocks at rank 18 is
an SMG with a large magazine, a high rate of fire, and it's also really
accurate
even at pretty long ranges.
For whatever reason, it
seems to be more accurate than any of the rifles available at that level. And
combine that with its high damage because of its fire rate and you have a gun that's
almost definitely gonna get nerfed at some point.
It's clearly the best
choice for a machine gun right now. Like no other full auto comes even close to
this.
It's just way better. The
other gun, the SVK, is more of your traditionally powerful Battlefield weapon.
t's a DMR. It's a powerful rifle that can take down most enemies with two body shots. It's extremely accurate and it's easy to use with a fast rate of fire. Sniping is and always be strong in Battlefield games.
And if you want to snipe, this
is probably the best thing to use. It's another gun that's probably going to be
nerfed
at some point but who
really knows because I wouldn't really call it as ridiculous as the PP, (Falcon
chuckles)
but who really knows.
Hopefully DICE will just fix how weak and inaccurate the other rifles are right now
and that'll put everyone on
a more even playing field. But at the moment, there's really no reason not
to use the PP-29 or the
SVK. They're just better than most of the other weapons
in the game right now.
At number 8
with rocket launchers to
really damage them. But there's a fun trick you can use to blow up tanks
that are just camping a
ridge or something. All you need is a drone recon specialist and some C5.
The concept's simple, summon a drone, put some C5 on it, fly the drone to the tank and detonate it.
You'd think the tanks would
be on the lookout for these things, but drones can actually be tough
to see at times, let alone
shoot down. So a lot of players just totally ignore them.
As long as you've got a decent
hiding place that's far enough away from the front lines,
you should be safe. And
with a little practice, you'll be destroying tanks in no time.
The trick is really one of
the best ways to take out these vehicles. It's safe.
The drones are hard to hit
and C5 does way more damage to tanks and pretty much anything else early on.
I'm sure once people start
seeing this happen more, they'll actually start shooting at drones once in a
while.
But right now tanks might
as well be free kills if you're playing as Casper.
At number 7,
The drones deployed by the
specialist Casper can be especially annoying to deal with.
Just hitting these things
like I said in the previous point is a pain in the ass.
They're small targets. They
can buzz around all over the place.
Trying to shoot them down
can be a frustrating waste of time, but there's actually an easier way.
Just call in a robot dog. These
things are great for giving you a little bit of cover.
They absorb a surprising
amount of damage and they can easily take out those annoying little drones.
Yes, they're mostly just
around for recon, but if the enemy knows where you are,
then it becomes a lot
easier for them to kill you. Not a lot of players focus on taking these things
out,
even though they really
should be a big priority.
And a part of that's
probably how hard they actually are to hit.
But if you want to deal
with them without having to do too much call in a robot dog,
because they will destroy
drones for you.
At number 6
solo will only get you so
far. At the moment, there is a cap on the amount
of experience you can earn
from playing solo.
And it's not a whole lot. Weapon
experience is a little more generous.
You can unlock at least a
few weapon attachments just by starting solo game and killing pots.
But eventually you will hit
a wall there as well. If you want to generate a lot of experience quick
when playing Battlefield
multiplayer, here is a simple solution, just equip the proximity sensor
grenade.
This thing does exactly
what you think it would. It detects enemies in a wide area when you throw it.
That kind of situational awareness
is good on its own. But when you combine it
with the recon experience
you get it's great. To really rack up a lot of experience,
play something like
Breakthrough, where everybody will be concentrated on a single objective
and throw a grenade at a
high traffic area. And because death comes so quickly in modes like this,
there's really no reason
for you not to throw them out all the time.
Restarting just means you
get a grenade refill. So if there's ever a free moment,
just throw out a proximity
grenade. Experience really starts to slow down
around the time you unlock
the proximity sensor at rank 22. So if you want to keep gaining ranks quick,
this seems to be the best
thing to use.
At number 5,
almost game breaking
strategies, but this is one of the most basic.
Any mission where there's a
control point on top of building, like let's say Kaleidoscope,
you can just drop a vehicle
on the roof and you're pretty much set.
The Wildcat is your best
defensive option. It's great for taking out helicopters
and its machine guns shred
everyone who tries to take the elevator.
There's a few strategies to
counter rooftop vehicles, but for the moment most players
don't know what to do about
it. So you can rack up like a ridiculous amount
of kills if you put it in
the right spot.
To get the most out of the
Wildcat, make sure you've got the homing rockets online.
Combine that with the main
cannon, you can pretty much kill anything.
Even the surprisingly tough
hovercrafts. The strategy here is simple as it gets,
just call a Wildcat on a
rooftop when you get the chance and in all honesty, it doesn't even have
to be a point you have to
defend.
If you're on a roof, it's great.
As long as there's stuff around to kill it works.
At number 4
Along with being able to
unlock attachments for your weapons, you can also unlock attachments
for vehicles in this game. And
many of them are just straight up better
than what you start out
with. Like the Jeeps 30 millimeter or 50 millimeter cannon.
They're all just all around
better than the starting machine guns.
So having them unlocked
makes your life way easier.
Even basic stuff like systems automatically repairing themselves are locked at first.
So getting some of this
stuff should be a priority.
The only way to unlock stuff for your vehicles is to get kills, which can be annoying
when you're playing online.
But with Battlefield 2042, they made it so you can easily
get a weapon with vehicle
experience even if you're playing against bots.
That's really the fastest
way you can unlock stuff for your vehicles.
Just load up a single
player Breakthrough game and mow down as many brain dead AI enemies as you can.
Right now, there is a limit
to the amount of XP you can earn against bots.
So you can only unlock so
much before you're forced to do it in multiplayer but it's still useful trick
to quickly unlock a few key
upgrades for a vehicle to give yourself a more of like a fighting chance
when you go online.
At number 3
if you're playing on console, turn off cross-play.
Unless a game has some
really aggressive auto aim, players using a keyboard and a mouse
are always gonna have an
advantage over players using a controller.
That's just part of playing
an FPS online. But it feels way worse in Battlefield 2042.
And it's for one very big
reason.
At least currently, the
auto aim for controllers feels almost non-existent.
It's another one of the
many things in this game that DICE will most likely eventually fix I'm sure,
but for now it makes sense
to turn off cross-play and save yourself some headaches.
On PlayStation consoles
it's actually really easy to do.
You can do it from the options
menu in the game itself, but for whatever reason, it's pretty well hidden
on the X-Box and the
instructions you get for X-Box consoles
isn't really good enough. So
here's how to actually turn it off on X-Box.
You go to X-Box settings,
account, privacy, online settings, X-Box privacy, then view details and
customize
then communication and
finally multiplayer.
It's like six menus deep. It's
like they're almost intentionally hiding it
or whatever. Of course you
can always connect a keyboard and a mouse to your consoles like that's a good
option actually.
But if you want to use a
controller and you're on console, it's not a bad idea to turn off cross-play.
It'll save some
frustration.
At number 2
combined with Battlefield.
It's PvPvE experience where
you run around a map, collecting data drives, while dealing with AI,
who guard certain areas and
other teams of players who also want to collect more drives than you.
To add some risk and reward
to the whole thing, there's a credit system where you spend money
before the match to
purchase more powerful weapons and equipment but once you spend those credits
they're gone
and if a game doesn't go
well, you lost credits rather than gain them.
So just starting out, it
makes it hard to focus on getting a supply of credits so you're not going
into the game with basic
weapons and items.
The easiest way to build up
credits is fairly simple on the load-out screen select negotiated bounty,
tactical upgrade. It makes
you earn 50% more credits when you kill occupied forces, AKA bots,
and just focus on killing
AI enemies. Getting data drives is also important, of course,
but if you lose, then you
get nothing. Whereas if you kill a lot of AI
with this tactical
equipped,you'll get a lot of credits at the end of the game,one way or the
other.
So if you just focus on
doing this for a little while, you can build up a decent amount of credits.
So you can start going on a
teams with more of a fighting chance.
Pulling this off requires a
team that can communicate.
Trying to do this sort of
thing in public games probably isn't going to work very well.
But Hazard Zone basically
requires teamwork as is. It's not the best game to just pick up and play
anyway.
So you're going to want a
team you can talk to if you want a chance of actually winning.
And finally at number 1
The hovercraft's crazy
good.
You'd think a transport
vehicle would be like pretty weak, but no, this thing basically shrugs off
small arms fire
like nothing and can take a
surprising amount of punishment from any anti-armor weapon.
In the right hands the
hovercrafts can sneak behind enemy lines and get tons of kills. If you're
playing this game and haven't messed around with vehicles or just getting
frustrated because you're not getting a lot of kills,
just spawn into a
hovercraft and suddenly you will be a killing machine.
The other thing that makes
this vehicle so good is how it can get to places that it should not.
Like you could wreak havoc
inside a building with a control point or catch people by surprise
by traveling up a vertical
wall. Like at the moment, yes, you can do that.
I don't know how long it
will last. It's one part that I expect DICE to probably fix
in the future.
But even if they nerf this
thing into oblivion, it's still a great flanking tool to get behind enemy
lines.
Right now if you want to get
a lot of easy kills in Battlefield this is the vehicle to use.
That's all for today. Leave
