June 30 may bring another Battlefield 2042<\/a> update, if a new report<\/strong> making the rounds is accurate. The reported patch includes a Contracts system, a High-Value Target phase, a limited-time Wet Work event, and a wider balance pass.<\/p>\n

The report claims Contracts would drop from defeated enemies<\/strong> in standard multiplayer and in Redsec, described there as a free-to-play mode. From there, players would clear short objectives: get kills, loot chests, capture objectives, or just stay alive long enough to finish the task. It sounds very close to the Field Orders setup<\/a> from Call of Duty: Ghosts<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

Here’s where it starts to wobble.<\/p>\n\n

The leak connects all of this to \u201cBattlefield 6<\/a>\u201d and to a new Season 3<\/strong> that would be split into three phases. That part doesn’t really fit with what we know so far.<\/p>\n\n

Battlefield 2042 already finished its main seasonal run<\/strong> with Season 7: Turning Point back in March 2024, and since then DICE has stuck to smaller updates. There still hasn’t been any official word on a Season 3, a High-Value Target phase, or even a game formally called Battlefield 6.<\/p>\n\n

The same leaked patch is also supposed to change recoil, handling<\/strong>, spread, limb damage, bullet velocity, and drag.<\/p>\n

And it doesn’t stop at infantry balance. The report also points to vehicle changes<\/strong>, including Thermal Smoke no longer protecting against C4, RPGs hitting tanks and helicopters harder, tweaks to the automated anti-air around team spawn areas, and a Mark All Seen button that would finally wipe out those annoying \u201cNew\u201d notifications that never seem to go away.<\/p>\n\n

If you’re still playing Battlefield 2042, this is the kind of leak you’d probably want to watch. Still, it’s way too early to treat any of it as confirmed<\/strong>, especially with Electronic Arts, DICE, Ripple Effect, and Motive all said to be busy with the next Battlefield. That’s also the game reportedly set to bring back the classic four-class setup along with 64-player matches.<\/p>\n\n

If any of this turns out to be real, the update would arrive through Battlefield 2042 on supported platforms<\/strong>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
