Taking onboard player feedback regarding the efficiency of the VHX-D3,We have now deployed a server-side change on Battlefield 2042 with some balance changes for this weapon. Please allow some time for the following changes to roll out across all available game servers today. VHX-D3 Changes: Dispersion will now increase faster as more consecutive shots are fired, while also decreasing faster once firing has ceased. Burst Fire is now more effective than Full Auto. Hipfire starting accuracy reduced while standing. Horizontal recoil reduced by ~10% to promote long-range burst firing

@ElliotLH ah, thanks: I hadn't seen it!

@TheseusJason No worries at all 👍

@T0TALfps Finally! Looking forward to see the effect of these changes. Hopefully it will change the dominance of this gun on the Battlefield 🤞

@T0TALfps Thank you for the update.Also, please ignore doubleome's request to nerf the 12m, it's fine the way it is. (no offense @doubleome)

@T0TALfps wrote:...Horizontal recoil reduced by ~10% to promote long-range burst firingNot sure if this is a typo -- I hope it is -- but shouldn't that readHorizontal recoil INCREASED by ~10% to promote long-range burst firing???Reducing HR does make sense to me. Not even remotely. Maybe someone can explain how a BUFF like this can be integrated in the much needed nerf.

Good stuff
And now the 12M
Oh and yes also give the SVK 1 extra mag with extended ammo, 32 bullets with 16 in a mag is a joke for a ranged weapon

Try playing Redacted and you have to drink any time the kill feed doesn’t have a 12M kill for over 1 sec, you’ll be dead before the first 10 tickets are spent
Never in a Battlefield or any fps game have shotguns been this powerful completely overshadowing the SMGs

so weapons can be balanced server-side on a whim and still, it takes weeks if not months for something to be done? DICE is just a gift that keeps on giving.....

Reading the notes again, doesn't this in end just make it a better weapon for people that mastered this weapon? If you already burst fired this thing you actually receive a recoil buff or am I missing something?
Slight nerf on the reload speed would have been great as well, it's a bullpup afterall and there is currently no reload penalty for picking extended which makes no sense. That just seems like an oversight tbh.
