Hey Folks,‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎

Tomorrow we'll be updating Battlefield V to address some issues introduced in the 7.0 Update.‏‏‎ ‎

This is a small patch focused solely on resolving these issues, and delivering a handful of new cosmetics that missed our last Update Sprint. We'll be releasing this update at the times detailed at the foot of the post, and we'll have no downtime during this maintenance. You'll be able to grab the update as soon as it's released and hop back into matchmaking once you have it.‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎

Estimated Update Sizes:

• Xbox - 2.13 GB
• PS4 - 1.26 GB
• PC - 3.65 GB

Key Update: We're aware of the current issues displaying your progress as reset. This is a database synchronisation issue, we have your progress, stats, and unlocks saved and are working to restore them to the live servers ASAP. Updates to follow.

Edit: We have resolved the issues found this morning with player profiles. Everyone's progress and stats have now been restored, and combined with any gameplay that was done during the maintenance period.

Final Update: We're now complete with maintenance.

Our apologies for the extension and disruption today - everything's now back to normal and up to date. You can hop back on and PTFO.

Hi Folks,

Hey folks,

Today we launched the Summer Update. If you've missed what's been added, the update notes are detailed here, and you can read more about the update in general here.

Here's a list of things that we've seen happen since the Update went live this morning, and what you need to know heading into this first week.

I desperately need to go eat a sandwich, its been a long day today, but drop any questions you have below and I'll be back later to answer what I can.

Hey folks,

Last week, we set in motion our plans to deploy the Summer Update for Battlefield V. 

We recognize that there are more important conversations taking place in the world today, so you haven’t seen us publish promotional material around the update this week, similar to how we have in the past on Battlefield V. 

We’re otherwise encouraging that we all take notice of what’s happening in the United States, as well as other places around the world, and ask how we can all do more, as we must do more.

Yesterday, we at EA committed ourselves to education and driving meaningful change through actions. This is a long-term commitment that you can read more about [here](https://www.ea.com/

Hey Folks,

I’ll start by sharing a thank you from us all at DICE for your support in these recent weeks as we’ve made the change from working in our usual offices, to instead working at home. Since then more folks across the world have been asked to make similar changes to their lifestyle so from all of us, we hope you’re well, safe, and healthy.

I otherwise wanted to check in with you all and give you an update on how the recent changes have affected our plans for Battlefield V, so that you know what to expect in the coming weeks.

We presently believe that our next game update will be released in May.

Initially, we were planning to release an update around the start of April, howe

Hi all,‏‏‎ ‎

Wanted to replicate some messaging for you that we've just shared from EA DICE, and provide you with a quick update on what to expect for the next few weeks.‏‏‎ ‎

Here's a copy of the message just in case you haven't seen it:

Hey folks,
‏‏‎ ‎
Today we’ve taken the necessary steps to help enable our teams across DICE with the option of working remotely, in order to best protect their health and wellbeing in response to the COVID-19 Outbreak. We also wanted to take the time and share a few quick points with you, our players, in order to help you all understand what effect this will have on our games.

UPDATE: We will be deploying a fix for this tomorrow in the form of some Backend Maintenance. We'll start this at 09:00 UTC with PC and wrap this up before 12:00 UTC across all platforms.

Once this goes live, you'll find that completing a round will resync your stats to the correct value, and when you next rank up your Class Kit/Weapon/Soldier - the respective system for that will also realign and restore any missing progress or unlocks.

Big thanks for your patience whilst we've worked with the teams to resolve this!

Hey folks,

Our big focus for Update 6.2 targets a revision of our existing weapon balancing, returning the base time to kill values of most weapons back to the experience found at the start of Chapter 5. At distance, we’ve improved the damage drop off to ensure that the pace remains satisfying, and modified our Recoil values to ensure that gun’s are both dangerous in combat, but harder to control.

Alongside these changes, we’re also pleased to finally bring Tank Customisation to the game. Customise your Tanks with new Paint Jobs, Turret and Chassis dressings. You’ll find new items available for purchase in Your Company, using Company Coin.

Below I’ve detailed all of the additional

Hey folks,

An issue that we’ve been tracking since the launch of Update 6.0 is that in certain circumstances Squad Conquest fails to load, leaving you on a long loading screen before you’re eventually kicked back to the main menu.

To address this, we’re removing the following maps from the Squad Conquest rotations, and our Community Games options until our 6.2 Update, as we’ve identified that these maps are the main instigators of the problem.

Fjell

Narvik

Arras

Devastation

Hamada

Rotterdam

You will otherwise be able to access these maps in all other modes, and these changes will be rolled out over the course of the afternoon across all servers, on all plat

Hey folks,

Earlier today we set live the Update for Chapter 6.0 and in that process we inadvertently released the M2 Carbine and the Model 37 Shotgun for players who hopped on this morning. Both of these weapons were originally intended as Chapter Rank Rewards.

We met this morning to ask ourselves what we'd prefer to do in the circumstance and have opted to release both weapons, to all players as Default Weapons and so everyone should find these as weapons you can equip in your loadouts.

This will mean that we need to replace these rewards in the Chapter Rank systems, (Rank 10, and Rank 24) and I'll have more info on what we replace them with tomorrow.

Enjoy Solomon Islands!

Battlefield V - Update 6.0 Notes

Hey folks,

For our first update of the New Year, we’re bringing plenty of brand new content to Battlefield V, all of which will be available for you to unlock and play with this Thursday at the start of Chapter 6: Into the Jungle.

First, there’s a brand new map to play with - Solomon Islands. Deploy in this brand new Jungle environment that’s made by the original creators of Argonne Forest, and Operation Locker. Solomon Islands features plenty of intense choke points and deep flanking routes, all seamlessly

Hey folks,

This week we have wrapped up Chapter 5, and now we’ll be taking a short break between our Chapters whilst we finish up work on our next Update. We’ll be filling this gap with some of our favorite maps and mode rotations until the start of Chapter 6, which started today with an extension to the Extreme Weather playlist ‘Cats and Dogs’ focusing on Breakthrough.

I also wanted to provide you with a quick update on what to expect over the next couple of weeks, and our next set of updates for Battlefield V.

First, a massive thanks to everyone for jumping in and playing War in the Pacific. This was a huge update for us, adding 3 new maps, 14 new Vehicles, 8 new Weapons, and everything
