The ability to adapt is important to survival in Battlefield 2042. That’s why the developers at EA DICE have implemented the so-called Plus system, which allows players to swap their weapon attachments on the fly. The whole process has been designed to be quick and intuitive. The only real catch is the button you use to change or add weapon attachments. Keep reading to learn how Battlefield 2042’s hot-swap weapon customization works.
Battlefield 2042: How to add and change weapon attachments
The Plus system in Battlefield 2042 makes it easy to change or add weapon attachments. Press and hold the left shoulder button (L1 or LB) or T on PC, then highlight the attachment you want to equip. Release the button to add the highlighted attachment to your weapon.
As you can probably tell, the Plus system was designed to make swapping weapon attachments simple. Each branch of the menu corresponds to a different type of attachment: sights, barrels, and so on. Naturally, each of these options will change your weapon’s potential — and the option to change accessories on the fly can give you an advantage in shifting battlefield conditions.
However, quick as the process may be, changing weapon attachments will leave you temporarily exposed. If you need to swap barrels or grips, you’d be wise to either find cover first or move quickly. Managing your gear ahead of the mission is one thing, but it’s very different when out in the field.
Luckily, the Plus system in Battlefield 2042 gives players a quick way to change out their accessories. The button to change or add weapon attachments is L1 on PlayStation, LB on Xbox, and the T key on PC. Press and hold it, highlight the attachment you want to use, then release. Just try not to get sniped while you’re browsing through all the available options.
