Entwickler EA DICE hat jetzt das Oktober-Update für Battlefield 1 veröffentlicht, das für Onlineduelle benötigt wird und den Ego-Shooter in vielen Bereichen verbessert, erweitert und optimiert. Die englischen Patchnotes lesen sich folgendermaßen:

Specializations and Assignments

• The Concealed Rescue Specialization has been changed and no longer deploys smoke automatically on a downed squad mate. For smoke to be deployed on a downed squad mate, a squad mate with the Specialization must now spot the downed player.
• Fixed an issue with the Stimulant Syringe Specialization where the revived soldier would not receive the sprint boost.
• Fixed an issue with Healing Hands Challenge #1 “Heal 10 Different Squad Members”. It is now cumulative and tracks between matches.
• Fixed issues where Soldier Assignment progress was not being displayed properly.

Weapons and Gadgets

• Changed the Ottoman Standard Issue Rifle from the Martini Henry to the G98. This is more historically accurate, and should be a better matchup against the British SMLE.
• Increased Tripwire-HE blast damage from 80 to 85, enough to score an Assist Counts As Kill against an enemy with the Flak Specialization.
• Fixed an issue where throwing a smoke grenade would prevent the thrower from performing other actions for a short time.

Vehicles

• Fixed overly bright mane and tail on horses in Tsaritsyn cathedral.
• Both gunners of Ilya Muromets now show hit markers when hitting enemy players.
• The Assault Truck’s sensitivity is now affected by sensitivity options.
• Fixed an issue where 3P enemy footsteps could be heard too loudly when the local player was in a vehicle.
• Fixed an issue where the grenade throw emote from a soldier inside the Putilov-Garford Armored car could be heard from very far away.
• Selecting a friendly soldier or vehicle in the deploy screen will now show their current health as a circular bar around the selected icon.
