In the latest update for Battlefield 2042 a lot of things have been changed and reworked. The most notable was the changes made to bullet spread which was a cause of great concern for many players.

Before the update, bullet spread was all over the place and made it harder to control weapons and hit targets. But now, bullet spread has been changed for all weapons except shotguns in an attempt to make guns more accurate.

Other fixes include improvements to prevent crashing and changes to vehicle weapons and more. That being said, If you want to know more, check out the full list of changes in the patch notes below.
