How do the sniper and marksman rifle bipods work? [ Edited ]

[emranmurtaza9]

In previous titles you could see the bipod being used when lying down or standing near a flat surface at firing height. In Battlefield 2042 I don't see any visual indication the bipod is being used. Source

Do I need to press a button or is it applied automatically and invsibly? If so, in what situations is it applied to the aiming characteristics?

@emranmurtaza9 Yeah you need to press a button. Console it's down on the d-pad, like when you're turning the flashlight attachment on, but I'm not sure about the key to use on PC.

In most cases, the bipod should deploy automatically, but when I use the bipod, it sometimes doesn't deploy properly (I'm assuming it's a bug.)

After several attempts, I was able to confirm that the bipod deploys just like any other under barrel attachment (such as laser sight, flashlight, GL, Masterkey), by pressing the key to use the attachment. Attachment

If you're on console(PS4/5, Xbox), hold down(↓) on your D-pad. If you're on PC, just simply hit X on your keyboard.

The OP is asking how the bipod is visible in the UI, active and not. URL
