BFComm - Battlefield 2042 - VHX-D3 Balance Change [13/02/24]

I can't wait to see the S7 weapons again go through the same issues of being way too overpowered and then taking months to do anything about it...

I'm sorry, this is a pointless exercise. It just means everyone will find the next goto gun, and then we have to listen to whiners all over again. Literally this is a gun that ANYONE can choose- so why nerf it when EVERYONE can use it if they wish? It's not like the old days when each class & side was limited in weapon choice.

You really need to learn the rock-paper-scissors mantra in weapon stats.

So how do we think this will chance the VHX? I really dont see much of a difference

Tomorrow (13/02) at 12:00 UTC we will roll out the following VHX-D3 Balance Changes via a Backend Update on Battlefield 2042

Standard Issue & Subsonic Ammo

• 0-20M Damage Reduced to 22.

• Can no longer 2 Headshot Kill.

High-Power Ammo

• 0-4M Damage Reduced from 28 to 25.

• 20-29M Damage Reduced from 24 to 22.

• Can no longer 2 Headshot Kill.

ADS Dispersion

• Increased dispersion by small amounts while Standing, Standing and Moving, and, Crouching and Moving.

Recoil

• Recent changes to Horizontal Recoil have been rolled back (+10%)

• Vertical Recoil will be increased by ~5

Through Community Feedback and Player Data, we see that last month's VHX-D3 Balance Change has proven to be healthy.

The usage rate and kill percentile had been reduced by about 3-4%. However, the weapon's performance is still above expectations by 4-5% compared to its counterparts such as the GEW-46.

We intend to gradually bring certain outlier weaponry back into line with those of similar performance.

Keep your eyes peeled for confirmation of this rollout closer to the time.

This is a Backend Update and will not require a Game Client Download. Though it may require you to join a new server to pick up this change.

Thank you for your continued feedback!

This was not needed AT ALL. When you finally released a weapon in the game that everybody enjoys using because it doesnt feel like a toy gun like other weapons do, you just ruined it and so many people are pissed off now. This nerf is not needed and would ask for it to be reversed. Instead of nerfing weapons to a point making them feel like toys I would suggest a weapon buff across the board so people actually enjoy using weapons in the game and not fee frustrated….

@T0TALfpsI've never used this weapon before 🙂 I just noticed it's a very stable and consistent weapon.

@UP_HawxxeyeAll the vault weapons and other AOW like SMGs, DM7, all pistols, and more Need buffs to better compete with the other guns in the game. Not to mention Attachment reworks like grips or muzzle devices besides Suppressors

Strange how we get new weapons that are fun to use, but OP at the start of the season, and then they get nerfed at the end of the season.  Happened the last few seasons for sure.  Never see any balance changes with OP air vehicles though....ever!  Despite the constant calls for them to be fixed.

Congrats, it feels terrible now.
