Battlefield V (5) version 1.32 (update 6) is now rolling out on PS4, PC and Xbox One. According to the official Battlefield 5 1.32 patch notes, the latest update 6 added a brand new map – Solomon Islands. This brand new Jungle environment is made by the original creators of Argonne Forest, and Operation Locker. Solomon Islands features plenty of intense choke points and deep flanking routes, all seamlessly connected by a winding river that runs throughout the length of the map. Apart from this, the new BFV update 1.32 also added three new Weapons to Unlock – the Type 11 LMG, the Model 37 Shotgun, and the M2 Carbine. There’s also 2 new gadgets to play with – the M1A1 Bazooka and the long awaited Lunge Mine.
Previously, a major update 5.2 was released with a long list of quality of life improvements. Apart from this, the last update also added balance changes for weapons – including a specific focus on Pistols.
Unfortunately, since the last update, many players are still experiencing several issues when trying to play the game. Today’s BFV update 1.32 update is expected to fix a few of these issues.
