The delayed 3.3 update to Battlefield 2042 is finally out, fixing the scoreboard UI and a number of other issues, while the previously announced "exclusive bundle" will be given to certain players at the same time as compensation for the delay in the first season.
Update 3.3 was originally supposed to be rolled out in February, but DICE decided to postpone the release to "improve the quality of the update and include additional changes". However, its key new feature remains the refresh of the scoreboard UI mentioned earlier, which DICE explains in more detail in its latest patch notes, confirming an "improved" race overview, a new team look for conquest, breakout, sprint, and team deathmatch modes.
"While these changes are the two missing pieces you need the most," DICE explains, "this is the first version of the scoreboard, and in subsequent updates, this will be further improved based on your ongoing feedback." "
A small set of fixes, changes and improvements are outlined in DICE's 3.3 patch notes, and the new Steadfast Exclusive Legend bundle will be available to all Battlefield 2042 Gold, Ultimate, First Year Pass, First Year Pass and Ultimate Pack upgrade users, as well as EA Play Pro subscribers.
DICE previously said that after deciding to postpone the content of the first season of Battlefield 2042 from March to summer, the bundle was awarded for "thank you for your patience and continued support", including Mackay's Zero Resistance Skin, K30's Grasshopper Weapon Skin, M44's Quick Hammer Weapon Skin, M5C Bolte's Steel Chariot Skin, Rib Tickler Melee Weapon Skin, Player Card Background "Determination" and Player Card Icon "Unwavering". With the release of the 3.3 update, all items can be found on the Collections and Game Card screen after logging in to Battlefield 2042.
DICE said the next update to Battlefield 2042 is currently scheduled to roll out in early April and will bring the previously announced VOIP features of squads, changes in the balance of weapons on vehicles, overhauls to the attachment behavior of infantry weapons, and "greater changes and fixes" compared to 3.3. In addition to this, DICE recently confirmed that it is planning major improvements to the existing maps in the game, the first of which is expected to arrive as part of the content after the launch of the first season of Battlefield.
The months have been bumpy and bumpy for Battlefield 2042, which quickly became one of the worst-rated games on Steam after its launch last November. The multiple delays in the new content and new features didn't reassure players about the future of Battlefield 2042, especially after publisher EA admitted the game failed, but DICE recently reaffirmed its commitment to making Battlefield 2042 "the highest standard we all expect from the game."
