A weekend status roundup from the Battlefield team keeps Proximity Chat switched off in REDSEC and names four faults that earlier notices had not: damage figures above 100 printing wrong in the REDSEC HUD, armor-wearing players losing their hit indicators, sniper rifles missing their zeroing readout, and the Interdictor hitting too hard in Gauntlet. One entry did come off the list, with a server-side change clearing the lag in HUD notifications.
Update 1.4.3.1 is a small client-side hotfix for Update 1.4.3.0, aimed at a backend inconsistency that surfaced once that update went live. EA puts its scope at system optimisations alone, with nothing altered in gameplay or balance. It arrives client-side rather than as a patch download, so a session already in progress may not pick it up until the game is reloaded.
The Tidal Strike event guide leads with the Phantom Program, a limited-time REDSEC operation live from September 15 in which squads comb Fort Lyndon for access-code fragments and hidden easter eggs after its security network is breached. Finds pay out XP and Weapon Packages. The same briefing covers a September 15–22 free trial, the Deep Six Collection Event through October 12, and King of the Hill and Domination joining Portal's Verified Modes.
