Funny Battlefield 2042 Glitch Is Making Weapons Spin Around When Fired

A hilarious Battlefield 2042 bug is making weapons spin whenener they are fired, players have reported. The troubled shooter developed by DICE and published by Electronic Arts received a major update recently.

Like many modern triple-A titles, Battlefield 2042 had a lot of issues when it first shipped out. Players encountered netcode problems at the time of its late 2021 launch, and the game was riddled with bugs that ruined an otherwise decent multiplayer FPS experience. Developer DICE has attempted to improve its game through regular updates, but it seems issues still persist even now.

In a recent post, Reddit user CourierSpurs1 showed off a funny Battlefield 2042 bug that made a player's weapon spin uncontrollably when fired, making it appear as if the character was leaning to the left and right with their gun. DICE's latest entry in its long-running Battlefield franchise does not have a lean mechanic, but it was present in Battlefield 5. Meanwhile, contextual leaning systems were featured in Battlefield 4, Battlefield Hardline, and Battlefield 1, the latter of which is one of the highest-rated Battlefield games of all time.

CourierSpurs1 seemingly mocked Battlefield 2042's Season 7: Turning Point update that went live on March 19 by using, «New [Siege] update is cool,» as the caption of their post on the Battlefield subreddit. This was most likely a reference to Ubisoft's popular tactical shooter, Rainbow: Six Siege, which has leaning as a major gameplay mechanic. Like Battlefield 2042, Rainbow Six: Siege also received a big update recently in the form of Operation Deadly Omen. This expansion added a new Rainbow operator named Deimos, and it also reworked Rainbow Six: Siege's shield system, among other things.

In addition to fixing a number of bugs and implementing several quality-of-life improvements, Battlefield 2042's controversial Update 7.0.0 also gave players a new map, Haven, as well as three new weapons, namely, the AK 5C assault rifle, SCZ-3 submachine gun,
