Breakthrough starts in the Countryside, and ends in the Town. Gave me the St. Quentin Scar vibes in playtests, and I’m really looking forward to playing it on the regular. pic.twitter.com/M0RaJJ7nTV

Check out the full Battlefield V Update 7.0 patch notes below.

Maps & Modes

New Maps:

• Al Marj Encampment (Conquest, Breakthrough, TDM, Squad Conquest).
• Provence (Conquest, Breakthrough, TDM, Squad Conquest).

Additional Changes:

• Aerodrome – Removed the MG turret that was placed below the ground at the edge of the map.
• Aerodrome – Removed the stationary weapon fortification that was placed into the ground near Sector F.
• Al Sundan – This map has temporarily been removed from rotation whilst we address an issue with incorrect VO, following a change to the playable factions on this map. It will be returned to all rotations pending a Hotfix that we’ll be releasing as soon as possible.
• Marita – Fixed a hole in the wall by Zervos Farm which could be exploited.
• Panzerstorm – All standard modes now feature U.S. vs. Germany (except Grand Operations).
• Panzerstorm – German Army is now set as the defending force.
• Twisted Steel – All standard modes now feature U.S. vs. Germany (except Grand Operations).
• Twisted Steel – Outpost – Fixed the floating barrels and barbed wire near Radio Tower A.
• Twisted Steel – Outpost – Players should no longer be able to get stuck between the barrels and the bridge strut near tower D.
• Underground – Fixed an exploit that could disable smoke effects.
• Combined Arms – Fixed the missing tab on the end of round screen.
• Firestorm – Players will no longer enter a bleed out state when playing solo mode.
• Practice Range – Added the missing Panzerbüchse 39 & Boys AT Rifle bi-pod when using them on the range.

Weapons & Gadgets

New Weapons:

• Sjögren Shotgun (Support)
• Chauchat (Support)
• M3 Infrared (Recon)
• K31/43 (Recon)
• Welgun (Medic)
• M1941 Johnson (Assault)
• PPK/PPK Suppressed (all classes)
• M1911 Suppressed (all classes)
• Welrod (all classes)

New Gadgets:

• Doppel-Schuss (Recon)
• RMN 50 Grenade Launcher (Recon)
• Pistol Flamethrower (Assault)
• Shaped Charge (Support)
• Kampfpistole (Support)

New Grenades:

• Firecracker Grenade (all classes)
• Demolition Grenade (all classes)
• Type 99 Mine (all classes)

Additional Changes:

• Add-on Grenade Launchers for the Tromboncino and M1 Garand now try to switch to the main ammo type instead of the pistol when the player runs out of ammo. If no primary weapon ammo is available, a switch will be made to the pistol as normal. We think that this will lead to a better combat flow when the player ends up in these scenarios.
• The Breda M1935 PG’s fire switching sound can now be heard.
• Fixed a bug where smoke grenades would sometimes detonate in different positions for different clients, or not detonate at all.
• Unified the impact grenade’s trajectory with the other frag grenades for improved consistency of grenade throws.
• Slightly increased the time an impact grenade must travel, the amount it bounces off a surface, and detonation delay after bouncing. This won’t substantially change the gameplay of the grenade, but will improve the pucker factor of having one of these thrown at you.
• Fixed a bug with the Lunge Mine which would cause another knockback, when it had been selected again after a previous use.

Vehicles

New Vehicles:

• A-20 bomber (U.S. Faction)
• P-70 Night Fighter (U.S. Faction)
• P-51D fighter plane (U.S. Faction)
• P-51K fighter plane (U.S. Faction)
• M8 Greyhound (U.S. Faction)
• Puma Armored Car (German Faction)

Additional Changes:

• Improved the transition to ragdoll when players die in a vehicle and made it so the vehicle/wreck is followed for the victim to make it a more interesting experience.
• Fixed an issue with the Hachi that was causing it not to steer as well as intended when moving at higher speeds.
• Smoke screen weapons on tanks and airplanes now properly block spots, and name tags.
• Fixed a bug that would cause the vehicle UI to show an incorrect position of the cannon, if the player had used it, and then switched seats.
• AA guns now suppress on the same level as other vehicle MGs.

Planes

• 500lb bombs now have lowered blast damage, and increased irreparable damage to make it a two-pass kill.
