Battlefield 2042 Update 8.1.0

Battlefield 2042 Update 8.1.0 has arrived and brought a few new updates to the game, why they are still working on this game is beyond us but we will still provide you the information anyway!

Battlefield 2042 Update 8.1.0 brings the Classic UH-60 Helicopter to the game and now it’s not just in portal.. Big wow we say and again we are still not sure why they are even doing useless stuff like this for a dead and badly made game? Move on, all we want to see is the next Battlefield so get on with it please!

Anyway lets get on with it..

As part of the transition from Battlefield Portal to Battlefield 2042, the UH-60 will also bring a new Repair System and Cyberwarfare Protection System to the All-Out Warfare variant, alongside improvements to its camera and flying characteristics.

During this period, Breakthrough UH-60 Chaos and Control Unlocked will also result in all Specialists, Weapons, Gadgets, and Vehicles being available for use – including the UH-60. You’ll also earn ribbons twice as fast as you play Breakthrough UH-60 Chaos and Control Unlocked during this time.

If you’re unable to acquire the UH-60 in this timeframe, the vehicle will become available via an unlock assignment on September 24th.

General Changes
Improved the Conquest stat tab to show the correct amount of defensive kills.
Fixed the mastery level that’s displayed on highlighted weaponry not correctly updating within the classes screen whilst deployed.
Time spent on Objective added to the Scoreboard in the Strike Team mode.
Fixed an issue where ribbons were not displayed correctly on the Shutdown game mode at the end of the round.
Tentative fix for an issue in Strike Team where equipment dropped in-world during a round wasn’t correctly removed in the next.
Fixed an issue where AI soldiers would sometimes stop moving when the AI max health was lowered through Battlefield Portal.
Fixed an issue where AI soldiers would take cover waiting for their health to regenerate even when health regeneration was disabled, causing them to wait there indefinitely. You know, sometimes AI doesn’t have intelligence.
Fixed an issue where the player option to “Always Use Traversal Sprint” would override gamemodes that have disabled the feature.

Vehicles
Vehicle seats without weapons will no longer display an ammo count UI indicator.
Active Protection System now available for the EBAA Wildcat

Dev Comment: A few updates ago we removed the ability of Irish’s APS-36 Shootdown Sentinel to intercept anti-vehicle weapons to stop exploitative behaviors that it allowed between the gadget and vehicles, with that change now live we are giving the EBAA Wildcat its own Active Protection System to allow for dynamic engagements between this vehicle and aircrafts.

MV-38 Condor
Reduced the transition of flight to vertical and vice versa for the MV-38 Condor.
The MV-38 Condor and Mi-240 Super Hind will no longer be available in Breakthrough, replaced with the UH-60.

UH-60
As part of the transition to All-Out Warfare as a Vault Drop, the UH-60 has also received a few changes below;

Fixed an issue with the UH-60 where systemic damage was not being applied properly to each part.
Fixed an issue with the UH-60 where certain EMP effects were active even if the vehicle was not under EMP situations.
The UH-60 is now available on all Conquest maps.
The UH-60 will now have two new utilities available within the Battlefield 2042 variant with the Repair System and Cyberwarfare Protection System. These utilities will not be available within the Battlefield Portal variant of the UH-60.
Proximity Scan range increased to 40m for the UH-60.
Fixed an issue with the UH-60 not showing tooltips when in first-person view.
