  Battlefield 2042 Update 2 Changelog

  You can now use other weapons besides the PP-29!
  
  As promised, DICE rolled out Update #2 for Battlefield 2042 today. Though not as substantial as the upcoming Update #3, today's update introduces some very welcome adjustments.
  
  For instance, DICE has reduced the bullet spread on all weapons (except shotguns). This should mean that weapons beyond the PP-29 and SVK are actually viable to use now. I haven't tested them myself yet, but the reception to these initial adjustments...

  DICE Details Two Updates Worth of Battlefield 2042 Fixes

  The studio provides a roadmap of the next two updates.
  
  To say that Battlefield 2042 is in dire need of a lot of attention would be a severe understatement. This game launched in a far worse state than even the infamous Battlefield 4. To list every issue present with the release version of Battlefield 2042 would take far too long. Besides, I've already included several lists pointing out broken or missing features in previous news postings about the game since its release.

  Rockstar to give classic releases to PC players for free.
  
  The state in which all three titles in Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition released in could be considered "laughable" at best and downright terrible at worst.
