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

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!

    Finally went back the VHX after swapping to the SFAR since the first VHX nerf ages ago.

    The VHX is still great at those close range fights
