Battlefield 2042 Update 6.4.0 Revealed With Patch Notes

02/23/2024 11:54 am EST

Many Battlefield 2042 fans are looking forward to Season 7 dropping in a few months, but developer Dice isn't quite finished with Season 6. Today, the team revealed that Update 6.4.0 will launch next week. This is the final update before Season 7 arrives in March, making it the last time players will get new content before moving on. Because of that, Battlefield 2042 fans shouldn't expect any major overhauls, but Dice is introducing a few needed changes that should please most players. That includes the Arkangel Directive, which puts players into 24v24 battles where they need to control rotating objectives. Doing so will earn them Ascension Points that can be spent to buy vehicles, making it a bit easier to dominate the battlefield.

Update 6.4.0 also brings several backend improvements. The most notable of these is that Dice is updating Battlefield 2042's Persistent Servers systems. This will ensure that your servers are open longer during active Seasons and downtime between Seasons. On top of that, Battlefield 2042 is updating its HUD for several aircraft, making it a bit easier for players to see the battlefield and take out enemies. There is also a host of new bug fixes and improvements that should get Battlefield 2042 prepped for Season 7.

Below, you'll find the full patch notes for Update 6.4.0. Battlefield 2042 is out now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC platforms.

Battlefield 2042 Update 6.4.0 Patch Notes

CHANGELOG

Arkangel Directive

Arkangel Directive is now underway. Utilise the Ascension satellite network, and experience the mode Control. Take and hold rotating objectives to upload tactical telemetry, collect the most telemetry to command the region, and earn Ascension Points to purchase vehicles.

Execute the Directive. Take Control.

Control is played as 24v24 across Reclaimed, Orbital, Valparaiso and Arica Harbor, with your goal being to collect telemetry data to upload to the Arkangel Satellite. Update 6.4 will include support for two additional maps in Breakaway and Discarded.

Persistent Servers Update

Season 6 has now come to a close and we are on our way towards Season 7. As we make our way to the new Season, we're improving how Persistent Servers function for Battlefield Portal.

Going forward, if Battlefield 2042 does not have an active Season, all Custom Experiences created within Battlefield Portal will now benefit from server persistence for two days, whereas previously this wasn't available.

During an active Season, if you are a Battle Pass owner you will still benefit from 7 days of Server Persistence. Allowing your server to remain active for a longer duration of time.

Improved Aircraft Gunner Directional HUD

With Update 6.4, we continue to expand upon the directional HUD features that were included in a previous Game Update. Taking onboard Player Feedback, you will now be able to see the direction of your Gunner with more clarity.

We have also included the ability to select between Default, Legacy, Both or Disable this HUD feature within the Options screen. This functionality is titled as 'Helicopter Gunner View'.

Default: Battlefield 2042 's standard HUD with the weapon barrel showing the gunners direction.
Legacy: Inspired by previous titles. This shows the gunner's pitch and yaw, while using an animated triangle inside a larger rectangular box.
Both: Both of these elements will be visible at the same time, with one being placed above the other.

Helicopter Impact Point UI HUD

Similar to the improved options for the Gunner Directional HUD above, players will now be able to select between different Crosshair Indicators for their Impact Point Crosshair. You can now choose between a Cross, Plus, Circle or disable the crosshair within the Crosshair Options screen.
