Battlefield 2042: DICE confirms the arrival of significant nerves for hovercraft – dexerto

As players raged at the power of the hovercraft on Battlefield 2042, DICE has confirmed that they will undergo significant changes.

After long weeks of waiting, Battlefield 2042 finally opened on November 19. If many players have been impressed by the progress made by the developers since the beta, which had been riddled with bugs and problems of all kinds, the developers still have their work cut out for them.

Especially since bugs and optimization problems are not the only problems noted by players. In recent times, it seems that it is mostly hovercraft that are in the sights of players. Indeed, in the eyes of many players these vehicles are far too powerful.

Players were blown away by the hovercraft’s armor plating and offensive capabilities. As if that weren’t enough, it also has the option of mounting on vertical walls.

Naturally, the players very quickly asked to be nerfed and they were heard.

An impending nerf for Battlefield 2042 hovercraft

As the grumbling on the web grew, DICE said: “The LCAA hovercraft will be re-equipped with lighter armor, which will decrease its health, and we will remove some of its weaponry.”

Vehicle Balancing ?

The LCAA Hovercraft will be re-equipped with lighter armor, lowering its health, and we’re tuning down some of its weaponry

The MD540 Nightbird will have similar tuning done on it’s weaponry too

In short, not only will it be much easier for opponents to destroy, but its firepower will be significantly less deterrent as well. It remains to be seen what impact this nerf will have on the viability and popularity of hovercraft.

In all likelihood, the announced changes should be implemented in the coming days.
