How to Swap Weapons with Battlefield 2042’s Plus System
Swap and shoot.
You can swap out your weapons in the middle of combat, but be careful. Here's how you can go about it.
If you're playing a lot of Battlefield 2042, chances are you've noticed how important weapon attachments are. They've been an important pillar of the Battlefield series for some time now, in fact, and sometimes the attachments you choose to take into combat with you can even make or break you. Battlefield 2042 approaches them in a different manner as well, where you can swap out your grips, barrels, sights, and other attachment options on the go with the new "plus system." But what does that mean, and how do you use it correctly? We've got everything you need to know about how to use the plus system within Battlefield 2042, so you can use it to your advantage.
How to use Battlefield 2042's plus system

Battlefield's plus system essentially means that you can swap between attachments while you're in the middle of a fight, rather than waiting to change things out via the Deploy screen. It's quick and easy to pull off, though you'll have to be strategic about how and when you want to use it. It's kind of like trying to heal yourself while right out in the open. That isn't a great idea, because you never know who's lying in wait to pick you off, obviously.
Here's how to go about it on console as well as PC:
-
Xbox: Hold the LB button, then choose your attachments with the A, B, X, and Y buttons. Release LB when you're finished swapping out attachments.
-
PlayStation: Hold the L1 button, then choose your attachments with the Cross, Circle, Square, aand Triangle buttons. Release L1 when you're finished swapping out attachments.
-
PC: Hold down the T key on your keyboard, then click on the attachments you want to equip with your mouse. Let go of the T key when you're finished swapping out attachments.
