The patch adds a big feature forBattlefield
A new update forBattlefield 2042hits this week, adding a feature the community has been asking for.Battlefield 2042Update 4.0adds VoIP functionality for Party and Squads, as well as a few other areas of interest.
VoIP, or Voice over Internet Protocol, options are the big one forBattlefield 2042. The massive multiplayer shooterlaunched without VoIP last year, and it was a noticeable issue for folks who are used to those options.
The dev team at DICE has been working on updatingBattlefield 2042with more patches since then. Patches have includedan updated scoreboardand other quality-of-life fixes.

Update 4.0 forBattlefield 2042goes live on April 19, and adds two voice chat channel options. Players will be able to choose between Party and Squad VoIP, and can adjust their settings in-game too.
Additionally, the updated scoreboard that arrived with Update 3.3 will now be available during End of Round screens.
Getting attached
The other big part of theBattlefield 2042Update 4.0 is an overhaul of weapon attachments. The dev blog notes that previously, some attachments had effects that were too similar, and their impact was unclear.
A few bug fixes and quality-of-life adjustments have been made, as well as an overall retooling of the weapon attachments. This will probably take some in-game inspection to see the results, but considering how core the new attachment system is toBattlefield 2042‘s infantry experience, it’s good to address it.
The Update 4.0 notes forBattlefield 2042also detail a lengthy number of additional fixes. You can find thefull patch notes here. More is on the way too, as the team says it expects another update for release in May. That update will focus on bringing more quality of life updates and bug fixes. Efforts toright the ship after a rocky launchare still underway, but at least one major piece ofBattlefieldis finally in.
