DICE just dropped word that on January 17 at about 4AM (ET), the 3.1.2 update for Battlefield 2042 will be released. This update aims to address a few of the more major outstanding issues and also adds in a few changes that players have brought to the devs' attention over the holidays.
This update is much smaller in scope compared to other recent updates, but worry not. DICE says that there will be a larger 3.2.0 update coming later this month still. This 3.2.0 update includes the reworked version of Breakaway along with the addition of distinct Classes to the game. Until then, enjoy this new smaller, stopgap update.
In addition to the below notes, DICE says that they are also adding some weapons to Battlefield Portal. These Battlefield 1942 weapons include: Mk VI Revolver, Gewehr 43, Gewehr 43 ZF4, M1 Garand Sniper, No 4, and the Sten.
