Earlier today a minor update for Battlefield 2042 was rolled out. Coming in at around 2 GB, update 4.2.1 aims to bring “a series of fixes and Quality of Life improvements.” Following the map rework for ‘Discarded,’ players were facing a few bugs with spawn points. Many players were spawning out of bounds which has now been corrected. One of the more notable changes is the fixed MTAR-21 animation on consoles. Listed below are all the changes in Battlefield 2042 patch 4.2.1.
