The best weapon of Battlefield 2042 is worse after the update - here are 3 alternatives

The first update since the official release of Battlefield 2042 has been released today. The patch goes out to several problems with the weapons balance. Mango tells you how that changes the Meta.

Today, on 25 November 2021 the first appeared on two updates for Battlefield 2042 EA and DICE have announced for the coming days. The second patch is to appear in early December.

The update today went to several major problems. In particular, the reduced scattering of assault rifles has been eagerly awaited.

The patch also has adjusted the equally popular as dreaded PP-29th We tell you of what changes are affected. We also tell you how this affects the Waffen-Meta. Instead of PP-29, you should now use three different weapons.

harder to use PP-29 to Patch

The PP-29 has so far been one of the most played weapons in Battlefield 2042. That could change with the patch.

Why was the PP-29 so good? Up to today's patch was the PP-29 submachine gun is the best and most flexible weapon in the game.

The PP-29 still has a lot of ammunition with a quick reload animation. Her quick handling is also a big advantage. Its greatest strength, however, was how dangerous she was at a distance.

Because the PP-29 little recoil had, she was a good choice in almost any situation. She fired accurately at a distance and strong in close combat. She was therefore very easy to play. This great strength has the PP-29 but now lost by the patch.

Why is the PP-29 now weaker? The PP-29 has increased since the update more recoil. This makes the weapon more difficult to use and even worse at a distance. The slow rate of fire they can not balance with short firing bursts this weakness.

The PP-29 is after the adjustments so no capped assault rifle more, but an MP in the classic sense: Strong in melee, fair good on medium distances, bad for everything beyond.

Because the PP-29 but was never the best MP for close combat, there are better alternatives for all situations now. We tell you specifically the third

3 weapons replace the PP-29

With the changes in the update are weapons that were far surpassed by the PP-29, again relevant. In particular, three weapons are now strong alternatives:

M5A3

Why is the gun now better than the PP-29? Because has been significantly improved, the dispersion of assault rifles, thanks to the new updates that M5A3 is finally worth a recommendation.

The weapon is indeed completely average of the values, but that is its advantage: The M5A3 is never the best weapon, but a good choice in most situations. Because a situation can change quickly in Battlefield 2042, you are always well-equipped with the M5A3.

It is this characteristic has the PP-29 awarded so far. But after the patch the more true to the M5A3. The assault rifle is therefore a good direct replacement for the PP-29th The essays help continue going to react with the gun in different situations.

Per

Has no specific weaknesses Good rate of fire Little recoil Many essays make the weapon more versatile

Contra

Has no particular strengths Loses in extreme situations against other weapons

MP9

Why is the gun now better than the PP-29 After the patch is the MP9 in our opinion the best new MP in the game — it switches but significantly later released.

The main disadvantage of MP9 against the PP-29 was her high recoil. Thus, the weapon was harder to use, with a similar yield.

That changed by the patch: The recoil of the MP9 is now comparable to that of PP-29th By their higher rate of fire, the MP9 for the distance but can better focus on short firing bursts. It is accordingly at a distance effective than the PP-29th

The MP9 was already before the patch significantly better weapon in close combat. These strengths are retained her. With essays, the MP9 can again improve significantly. Even a magazine with 50 rounds stands at its disposal — so she also has a similar amount of ammunition as the PP-29th

Thus, the PP-29 lost with the patch their strengths against the MP9 without the MP9 had to give up their own. Therefore, the MP9 is often stronger than the PP-29th

Per

Recoil is easy to control, but... Very high rate of fire Very strong in short firing bursts Very good Sufferer Fast handling

Contra

... recoil is very high Very little ammunition in the standard magazine Little damage Unusable at higher distances

PBX 45

Why is the gun now better than the PP-29? If you play rather than MPs assault rifles, the M5A3 probably not your favorite alternative. Here, the PBX 45 comes into play. Because after to nerf of PP-29, the PBX 45 is the new best all-round MP.

She can not be very good, but is in no way awful. The PBX-45 is therefore never a bad choice. In contrast to the MP9, it is also available from the beginning.

The weapon is effective on almost all distances and can be controlled well despite quite high recoil. Many essays make the gun even more flexible.

Per

Recoil is easy to control, but... High fire rate Can be used flexibly Strong in melee

Good on medium distances

Contra

... recoil is comparatively high Small magazine for high fire rate Average damage Bad at a distance

Even if the PP-29 continues to be a good weapon — these 3 alternatives are better in our eyes. Will you replace the PP-29 with one of these weapons? Or is yours so far in so dominant MP? Looking your opinion in the comments.

But with the weapon missions, however, you still have to be careful, because many weapon attachments in Battlefield 2042 work differently than your thinking
