Battlefield 2042’s recently released “Road to Battlefield 6” battle pass has proven to be a popular addition. Given it offers multiple cosmetic items for the upcoming Battlefield 6, a boost in active players makes sense. And with a more active community now playing the game, EA has announced that a small hotfix update is coming tomorrow, September 9.

The main issue seemed to be based on progression. Some of the weekly missions involving the M1 Garand, for instance, weren’t tracking correctly in All Out Warfare. Some players also felt that the grind to unlock the free cosmetics was a bit much. This has led to a Tier Skip function–a feature that, depending on who you’re talking to, presents its own set of issues–allowing players to pay to advance through the ranks. The hotfix also addresses some weapon/gadget balancing, fixed a Playercard issue, and updated the Team Deathmatch playlist.

The “Road to Battlefield 6” battle pass lasts until October 7. Fans still have time to work their way through the pass ahead of the game’s October 10 launch; tomorrow’s patch should make hitting Tier 60 that much easier.

Battlefield 2042 September 9 update patch notes

Weapons & Gadgets

• Fixed an issue on the Lynx where extended magazine reload was slower than intended. The reload animation is now faster, making it look less like slow motion and more like just motion.
• Fixed an issue with the Lynx’s recoil and camera motion.
• Fixed an issue where the accuracy is lower than intended when standing still for the Lynx.
• Balance pass with SWS-10 and Armor Piercing Rounds and the Masterkey.
• Fixed an issue where multiple Underbarrel Shotgun Attachments on Vault Weapons were not tracking progress towards quests that require you to get kills with underbarrel shotguns. For example, the unlock quest for the AK5C.
• Fixed an issue where the SOFLAM and Tracer Dart interaction with a vehicle would not show “Target Acquired” messaging.

Maps & Modes

• Renewal has been returned to the Team Deathmatch playlist offering.

Playercards

• Fixed an issue where the names of Playercard Backgrounds ‘Always Check Your Rear’ and ‘Teamwork Makes the Dream Work’ were accidentally swapped.

Weekly Missions & Progression

• Fixed an issue where some weekly missions about doing actions with Vault Weapons would not track with the M1 Garand in All Out Warfare.
• Tier Skip functionality is now active on the Road to Battlefield 6 Pass.
