No-Pats,
Update 4.1 releases on May 19. The focus for this update is to deliver further fixes, and Quality of Life improvements, as well as to update our All-Out Warfare rotations, alongside some balance changes to weapons and Specialists.
Here’s a summary of some our key changes:
Up next in our update schedule is the release of Season 1, currently set for release in early June. We’ll be back with a full overview and Update Notes closer to its release.
To stay informed on the roll out of Update 4.1, you can follow us on the @BattlefieldComm Twitter account. You can also follow along with our tracking of Known Issues and game changes that we’re able to make in real time on our Battlefield forums.

In this update, we’re making multiple updates to the All-Out Warfare rotations. Our leading change is the removal of the 128 player version of Breakthrough. When reviewing the available experiences in All-Out Warfare, we felt that the 128 player modes are better suited for Conquest where gameplay spaces are larger, and where you have a more natural fit for sandbox gameplay.
In Breakthrough’s 128 player mode, we feel that the value and impact of an individual player, and squad is reduced due to the increased intensity and chaos of the combat.
When reviewing Breakthrough, we noted that the 64 player version represented a more tactical experience. Reducing our player count here helps to remove some of the chaos from the experience, and in combination with the reductions that we have made to the number of available combat vehicles, it means players are better able to hold frontlines more effectively. Players will also find more space to work together and fulfill their individual roles
As a result, squads in Breakthrough 64 have a better opportunity to work together, to flank the enemy, place a spawn beacon, use their plus menu to attach suppressors, then clear, and hold a point - one squad helping turn the tide as an example. We believe that the move to 64 players will bring back the pacing that helps celebrate these moments of teamwork and PTFOing, and will be keeping a close eye on how our changes help to improve the experience ahead of the start of Season 1.
Further changes:
Soldier
Specialists
Angel
Boris
Dozer

AK24
NTW-50

Vehicles
Following the release of Update 0.4.0, we’re continuing to make balance adjustments to vehicle gameplay by updating the total number of vehicles that can be active at any time across maps in Conquest and Breakthrough.

MAV
M5C Bolte

So no performance updates for next gen consoles, no remove annoying voices at EoR.
Breakaway needs the 128 player version in Breakthrough.

Where are the map improvements we were promised? All you’ve done is nerf angel and strip breakthrough of 128 players. Where’s our better designed maps? Where’s our * server browser? Why am I still hearing those annoying * quips at the beginning and end of every round?! Honestly, I think everyone deserves a refund.

What a Dumpster Fire, by the Time Season 1 actually hits, not even Console Plebs will be left on this game.
Really questioning who decided to close Visceral over the Creation of BF:H which was Game of the Century Material compared to 2042.

Hello
Has the problem of missiles not locking onto empty vehicles been resolved?
I am taking jet with agm or seeker missiles but can'T lock empty vehicles. Therefore players are leaving their vehicles when they've low health.
By the way just squad up ' with pc users' option would be an assest for us whose use attack helicopter or m5c bolte .
