Key Gameplay Changes
Aim-assist reverts to Open Beta values for consistent slowdown across ranges, affecting controllers and mouse-and-keyboard equally. Battlefield Studios noted this adjustment improves smoothness at longer distances based on player data and feedback. Weapon dispersion is reduced globally, with balance tweaks favoring long-range performance for automatics like PW7A2 and KV9, and reduced recoil for LMR27, M39, and SVDM.
A major polish pass targets deployables like the LWCMS Portable Mortar and Supply Crate systems. New settings include auto-sprint on full stick push and instant knife swap keybinding on PC.
