Battlefield 2042 Patch Notes 3.2.1: Changelog

Gadgets

• FGM-148 Javelin
• The FGM-148 Javelin can no longer lock onto the Tracer Dart while the dart is out of line of sight.
• Tracer Dart Gun

• The Tracer Dart will now correctly drop in height depending on the distance it has to travel.
• Reduced the projectile speed of the Tracer Dart from 500 m/s to 250 m/s.
• The uptime of the Tracer Dart will now last 12 seconds instead of 40 seconds.
  • Dev Comment: We’ve adjusted the trajectory and speed of the Tracer Dart to now offer a skill element to this gadget if you’re aiming to land shots from long range distances, if you wish to reliably designate targets from long distance the SOFLAM remains a tried and tested choice.

Dozer
