News about upcoming cosmetic items coming to Battlefield 2042 has been leaked online, and the community's reaction is mixed at best. Usually, fans don't care much about cosmetics, as they don't really impact the gameplay.

One noticeable addition in the leaks is the legendary skin for Casper. One of the members of the community mentioned that Casper already has several legendary skins while many specialists haven't yet got one.

Weapons have been a major crunch in Battlefield 2042 as older entries in the franchise have had way more options than the latest game. While the cosmetics might satisfy some, many players are just hoping that DICE will add more weapons to the game.
