Heads up, new patch notes just came out (5.1)
They are already on the updates section https://answers.ea.com/t5/Updates/BATTLEFIELD-2042-UPDATE-5-1-0/m-p/12707884#M2439 I am just spreading the word.

@cso7777 they are planning to do that, the reason why ARs got them first is to 'test' how well it works on a class everyone uses, later on they'll add it to smgs and lmgs
@BownrInSweatPanzI understand, but still disagrees with this way of doing things.
TTK/range is a matter of math and they should either 'ruin' all guns or none at all.
We had the same approach in BFV and the game became a joke, often for longer times, because a lot of weapons were totally ruined and some weren't. It ended well, but took a long time.
They risk loosing even more players, when doing things this way.
- @cso7777 I do agree its a more math side of balance, and if anything the HSM of 2.15x is the main issue with ARs, not necessarily the beam potential because lack of spread. but so far it has worked at least prevent some beams but the damage even if you play by the rules is still a core issue because the HSM undermines that by a lot.
- @BownrInSweatPanz It all adds up, and you are right, the HSM on ARs are a joke and they should be lowered. Having the potential to kill people with 2 headshots from an AR (at short range) is too much in my opinion - especially with the totally useless netcode, it results in instakills.
They need to make the gunplay just a little less deadly. Introducing more recoil makes the gun-play feel more 'fair' than just increasing spread. SMGs just feel like lasers.
Just read the patch notes, it looks like the two people who are still working on BF2042 have been really busy 😃
Added recoil will give people who use Cronus an even bigger advantage vs. the rest of us.
Added spread they can’t control though so that’s the better choice.

Who or what is Cronus?
Pinched from Dexert.com
"..A Cronus Zen is a small device that players connect to their controllers or PCs. It can be used with almost any console or controller and allows players to mod their gaming equipment to give them an unfair advantage in-game. Once connected, players attach 'scripts' to their Cronus which give them in-game benefits...."
- @VOLBANKER_PC They can just add some randomness to recoil, then it works just like spread.
With recoil, your gun moves around, with spread the bullets are not following the aim of the gun. What did they do to the sense? The mouse behaves differently than before the update.
@flcrmI think the mouse-movement is bugged and has been for some time.
I've played a lot of BattleBit and when I play some 2042 (for the weekly battlepass-grind), I notice is that something is 'off' with the mouse-movement.
It is not a constant problem, but sometimes it seems like mouse stops registering correctly and your in-game movement feels disconnected from your mouse-movement.
