EA’s multiplayer FPSBattlefield 2042is receiving some much-needed tweaks on its assault rifles and bloom due to fan complaints and requests. So far, the game has had a rough launch with itsoverwhelmingly negative reviews and gameplay issues. Still, developers promise two updates to fix those problems and improve the player experience.
DICE has been responsive to fans via Twitter who have demanded a change inBattlefield 2042’sassault rifle and bloom performance. According to the players, the issue at hand is very noticeable as the bloom or bullet dispersion is way off, causing a lackluster gaming experience.

The term bloom refers to the randomized dispersion or spread of bullets when firing an SMG or AR during a multiplayer FPS. However, the issue inBattlefield 2042’scase is that the bloom seems to be over-exaggerated. A player could be aiming and firing directly at an opponent, but the likelihood of hitting their opponent is low. Bloom inBattlefield 2042is arguably out of control compared to the more tamer version in its rivalCall of Duty: Vanguard.
On Twitter, Florian “DRUNKKZ3” Le Bihan, one of DICE’s leading designers, stated that “Dispersion/Spread/Bloom has been a thing in all past BF games, it’s important for weapons variety and balance as well as creating value for attachments. It shouldn’t be a problem unless it’s too much or increasing too rapidly, which is the problem today that is being looked at”. He also stated that changes have been made on their end in preparation for the following two updates, such asbalancing hovercraft vehicles. However, there is no exact date on when those updates will commence, but expected “over the next 30 days”.
Battlefield 2042is suffering many issues, and bloom has been added to thelist as another one ofBattlefield 2042’sbugs. To say the game has a rough launch is an understatement, as players are not pleased with the results so far. One way to help this situation while waiting for fixes is that players can look to the different weapons to see which are affected more than others. For example, the PP-29 is considerablyone of the best weapons ofBattlefield 2042and seems not to be as affected by the bloom. Another option will be the SVK marksman rifle and the PKP-BP LMG if one isn’t looking to use SMGs until the bloom issue is better.
Within this buggy hurricane, some players remain positive regarding theirBattlefield 2042experience as some things are going well, such asquickBattllefied 2042leveling hacksand amazing graphics. Although the game has a rocky start, there’s hope that the anticipated updates will help the title reach its full potential.
Battlefield 2042is available on November 19 for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
