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….
