Summary
ABattlefield 2042player recently made an incredible RPG shot, taking out an enemy helicopter from nearly across the map. Following several years of post-launch improvement and a bettering sentiment surrounding the game, EA made the decision to end post-launch support forBattlefield 2042last year with Season 7 as developer DICE works on the nextBattlefieldgame, which just recently started closed playtesting.
One of the biggest waysBattlefieldhas stood apartfrom its multiplayer FPS competitors likeCall of Dutyis the franchise’s use of vehicular combat. One of the hallmarks of the franchise’s sandbox-style gameplay is giving players access to large trucks, tanks, helicopters, and more, while also giving players tools like RPG missiles and C4 to help take such enemy vehicles out of commission. Because of this,Battlefieldhas become known for its “only in Battlefield” moments: impressive and sometimes shocking gameplay clips that push the boundaries of what’s possible to pull off in aBattlefieldmatch.
On Twitter, Dexerto shared a clip ofBattlefield 2042player ryefry77 expertly placing an RPG missile shot to eliminate an enemy helicopter. The short clip shows the player running in pursuit of aBattlefield 2042chopperon a rocky hilltop before patiently going prone and carefully leading an RPG shot as the helicopter flies farther away over a distant harbor area. What’s impressive is just how far the user had to track the helicopter to make the shot, as the rocket took a good three full seconds before its date with the unfortunate enemy chopper pilot. Like a golfer holding their breath after a swing, ryefry77 confidently withheld from instantly reloading the RPG and instead sat there in ADS with an empty launcher waiting and watching for the shot to land.
Battlefield 2042 Player Hits an Incredible RPG Shot
In the comments of the Dexerto Twitter post, adebate amongBattlefieldfanstook place about whether ryefry77’s chopper takedown was all skill or just luck. The player seems to possess a ton of prowess, and this may not have been their first attempt at hitting such an impressive RPG shot inBattlefield. With that said, there is still a bit of luck involved, as the helicopter stayed the course after the shot was fired and didn’t deviate at all from its path in the time it took for the rocket to arrive. Any flight adjustment from the pilot would’ve very likely resulted in a miss.
It’s good to see that players are still enjoyingBattlefield 2042even after EA ended seasonal support for the game. Withthe nextBattlefieldseemingly around the cornerand playtests having recently kicked off,Battlefield 2042may still serve as the go-to game for fans of the franchise who are still looking for a slightly more futuristic experience, as the nextBattlefieldhas confirmed its modern-day setting.
