DICE just rolled out a few tweaks for the latest Battlefield 2042 limited time event, Dark Protocol. The event, which kicked off just this past Tuesday, finds players fighting for control over a series of points. Players are also fighting for control over Geist Forges, a unique device that periodically spawns A.I. controlled synths that will join the fight for whichever side holds control over the forge.
Based on some player feedback for the event, DICE made a handful of changes that might make the event a bit more enjoyable for players. These changes include giving the Geists more survivability, adjusting spawn time, and adjusting how many Geists can be on the field at once.
Changelog
