Electronic Arts and DICE have released a new update for Battlefield 2042, bringing the game up to version 4.1. This is the final update ahead of the release of Season One next month, so it features some fairly small changes. However, that’s not to say that players won’t see anything of note! Players can expect a nerf to Boris’s SG-36 Sentry Gun, improved base recoil from stock weapons, changes to Angel’s Supply Bag, audio improvements, and more.
