Battlefield 2042: New Changes for Tracer Dart in Update 4.0.1

A new patch for Battlefield 2042 is now available. Update 4.0.1 brought much-needed changes, including some specifically meant for the Tracer Dart.

The Tracer Dart Gun in Battlefield 2042 is something that players can use to designate vehicles, allowing them to track their whereabouts even when they move. However, there were some issues that plagued this particular gun, which is why the developers deployed Update 4.0.1 to fix them.

This patch finally resolves the issue where the Tracer Dart would sometimes fail to designate moving targets. Furthermore, the bug that prevented targets from getting a warning about incoming missiles when they were tagged by a Tracer Dart is now fixed.

The developers implemented a slight buff to the Tracer Dart as well. It now lasts 16 seconds, up from 12 seconds previously.

In addition, this update has removed all of the remaining aim down sight deploy adjustments made to extended magazines.
