Battlefield 2042 Update 4.0.0 will be deployed on all supported platforms tomorrow, February 28 at 4 a.m. EST. Aside from the new specialist, this patch will bring two new vault weapons to the game, the SVD Sniper Rifle and Type-88 LMG.
The SVD is a reliable sniper rifle with enough damage to take out an enemy with a single headshot. This thing can be yours by killing 100 enemies with an SVK. Alternatively, this can be unlocked by killing 50 enemies using marksman rifles at a distance of 100 meters or less.
The other weapon coming to Battlefield 2042 via Update 4.0.0 is the Type-88 LMG. This light machine gun is equipped with a 200-round magazine, great for those who do not have impeccable aim as they have lots of ammo at their disposal.
Just like the SVD, the Type-88 LMG can be unlocked in two ways. First is by killing 100 enemies using an M240B. And second, by inflicting 10,000 damage with other light machine guns.
