It looks like Battlefield 2042 loves to stay in the news, even if for all the wrong reasons. The visually stunning video game was plagued by several bugs and issues even before its global release on November 19 this year.
From updates making the game unplayable to some weapons being ridiculously overpowered, the list seems to be endless. And while EA is doing a phenomenal job at fixing these, it looks like things will take quite a while before the game is bug-free to a point where it becomes completely playable.
That being said, players are now reporting that they are unable to jump after reviving a teammate amongst others. With such a basic mechanic disabled, players say they are at a huge disadvantage since jumping is one of the ways players avoid getting shot.
A few days ago, EA had acknowledged the horizontal mouse movement issue that prevented players from looking left or right.
Thankfully, the lead game designer at DICE has acknowledged the Battlefield 2042 jump issue while also sharing a workaround.
They have also acknowledged an issue where the Grapple Gun could be used on Smoke and even Tornadoes.
It looks like there is no fix in sight for this issue either.
Last but not the least, players have been complaining for a long time about the C5 Drone and how overpowered it is right now.
Thankfully, the lead game designer has finally commented on the matter and said they are considering changing it sometime in January next year. Here is what they had to say.
With so many bugs and issues rampaging the battlefield, it looks like the developers have a lot on their plate right now. Nonetheless, we will be keeping an eye out and update this article when on when Battlefield 2042 developers fix the issue where players are unable to jump and balance the C5 Drone.
