Upcoming Battlefield Hardline Patch Cushions The Drivable Couch's Impact
Battlefield Hardline developer Visceral Games is preparing a patch for the title that would, among other things, reduce the effectiveness of the Dust Bowl map's drivable couch.
The patch reduces the health and the repair rate of the drivable couch easter egg in the Dust Bowl map of Hotwire mode in order to make it "the one-off it was intended."
Elsewhere, the patch is full of various bug fixes and tweaks (including some not listed), so for more details be sure to head over to the Battlelog forums. According to the post from the game's lead multiplayer designer, the patch still has to go through certification, and thus, does not have an exact release date yet.
