Battlefield 2042 has a bug that renders an important grenade completely useless

Battlefield 2042 has a bad bug that renders an important gadget in the game completely useless with a few simple clicks. Because smoke grenades can be completely “switched off” in the game without much effort and thus rendered worthless for their intended use. Find out what it’s all about here on MeinMMO.

What’s the problem with the smoke grenades? Battlefield 2021 has a lot of bugs. Among them were hovercrafts with strange driving characteristics, the redeploy bug or the impenetrable shield that even kept tanks off.

While the named bugs have already been addressed by the developers, new errors are appearing in the system. A particularly bad bug that renders essential features of the game useless was recently discovered in the game.

Because when you open a menu, the particle effects of smoke grenades are suddenly deactivated.

Players criticize Battlefield 2042, but there are also good voices

This is how the bug affects: All you have to do to completely negate smoke grenades is open a specific menu in the game. As soon as you are back in the game, the particles of the smoke grenade are deactivated. That’s what a reddit user found out.

You can see exactly how he attacks a horde of enemies and kills some. They lie helpless on the ground and call their remaining comrades for help. But since these do not want to be riveted when resuscitated, they proceed according to the textbook and dutifully throw smoke grenades to cloud the area and thus quietly rez their friends.

But Jacksfootball51 simply calls up a menu and all opponents that were previously hidden by fog are clearly visible and an easy victim for him. You can see what this looks like in the game in the video here:

The bug completely removes an item that is important for gameplay from the game and thus interferes with the balance.

What the players say: Jacksfootball51’s thread on reddit exploded and after 17 hours it already had 7,200 upvotes and almost 400 comments. Most of them are horrified and dominated by incredulous amazement:

• Op3rat0rr: “The game is so broken lol. That has to be fixed immediately! “
• HotSpicedChai: “I love this subreddit, every day I see something new about the game that doesn’t work. Almost as if it were still an alpha or beta. “
• Aurkonnungr: “Now I finally understand why they could give me a headshot through the smoke!”

Other users named with gallows humor and commented that the developers will hopefully not switch off the corresponding menu as a fix. Others defended the developers and said that it was indeed a very bizarre bug that was hardly noticed in the playtest.

Anyway, the bug is serious business and should be addressed soon. So that the game gets better and has fewer bugs, the developers have already presented a roadmap.
