Greetings !
We’re back with another Battlefield 2042 development announcement to tell you more about what’s to come later this year.
SEASON 6
We know you want to discover Season 6 and we can already confirm that it will be available in October. We don’t want to reveal everything just yet, but we can’t wait to give you a preview of the new map in the development announcement video.
Expect a unique new battlefield of dark secrets and prepare to feel the fear of the unknown. It’s one of our favorite maps, and we can’t wait to tell you more about it later.
WELCOME TO REDUX
As our eyes are on Season 6, let’s not forget the great gameplay moments we’ve shared with you over the past year.
We know you’d love to revisit some of your favorite Battlefield 2042 moments while having the chance to earn some never-before-seen rewards you might have missed.
So before we dive into Season 6, we want to bring it all to you on August 29 with Redux.
REDUX OVERVIEW
During Redux, you’ll discover new ways to play with your favorite modes and maps while earning new or returning weekly rewards. Chaotic Rush XL, Tactical Conquest, Chaotic Breakthrough, Assault Conquest or Neutralization… You will have many ways to play and earn rewards.
But these modes are not returning as they were before. We’ve taken your feedback on board, so expect tweaked versions of these modes every week, with new person count limits.
You will also find the limited-time events The Liquidators, Battle of Nordvik and Rise of the Leviathan as well as their modes.
EARN REWARDS
Redux will feature a dedicated progression that will allow you to unlock rewards by earning Ribbons, like during our limited-time seasonal events. However, getting these rewards will be easier and faster.
You will now be able to earn Ribbons to unlock rewards in all official All-Out Warfare and Battlefield Portal modes. In other words, during Redux, you will still be able to play the official modes of your choice and progress to earn rewards.
Rewards vary between new content like character, vehicle and weapon skins, and content previously available in the store now available to unlock. We have also planned several Double EXP weekends to speed up your progress!
We like to preserve the excitement of discovering the new rewards, but we’ve listed a few anyway:
- Precise Drill skin for the AK-24;
- The Vengeance skin for Charlie Crawford;
- The Cybernetic Apocalypse outfit for Dozer;
- The Cataclysm skin for the PBX-45;
- The Hacking Weapon Charm;
- And much more !
REDUX COMMUNITY CALENDAR
Many modes are available during Redux, now playable on more maps and with increased weather effects. We have prepared a general overview with our community calendar.
REVISED LIMITED TIME EVENT MODES
If you missed our previous limited-time events or need a quick refresher on playing their unique modes, here’s a recap.
Chaotic Rush XL
In Rush XL, destroy the relays to advance on the battlefield or protect the relays and stop the enemy’s progress. Parties available for 128 people.
Rush steps up a gear to accommodate up to 128 people and gives you maximum mayhem with new modifiers that increase character movement speed, projectile speed, and throwable weapons.
Tactical conquest
Tactical Conquest is an infantry-focused version of classic Conquest. Battle enemy squads to capture and defend three flags. To win the round, exhaust the enemy’s tickets.
You will need to work with the squad to maintain control of the objectives. Exploit respawn beacons and bypass routes and storm enemy occupied objectives with your team. The more of you there are on the objective while capturing it, the faster you will capture it.
THAT
In 32v32 Assault Conquest, the attacking team starts with more reinforcements and must take the territory occupied by the defending team, which they must defend their objectives at all costs.
The defending team’s HQ respawn is disabled, but they can still rely on squad respawns and the EBLC-Ram’s deploy beacon to survive and hold objectives.
chaotic breakthrough
Chaotic Breakthrough is a Breakthrough experience where movement, redeployment, throwing, and vehicle requests are accelerated, with the added bonus of up to 128 people. In a word: chaotic.
Neutralization
In Neutralize, the attacking team uses the Spear to destroy enemy data caches, while the defending team protects them. Each game is played over two rounds, giving each side a chance to make up for it…or get revenge.
- Play the Goal – The Lance: The ESA-500 Lance is a portable microwave device that deletes data from nearby hard drives. The attacking team can land it wherever they want in predefined objective areas, which feature crates full of hard drives. It scores points as long as the Spear is active and all the more so if it completely neutralizes discs. The defending team can deactivate the Spears via short interactions. Tactics and cunning are the key words in Neutralization. Place the Spear in an open location to bait your enemies, hide it in a corner and protect it with your gadgets and throwing weapons, or devise your own approach.
- Neutralization of the objective: when a Lance placed on an objective has earned a certain number of points, it is neutralized and disappears from the map. The more the objectives disappear, the more the confrontation with the enemy is inevitable.
- Claim victory: you will play one round on the attacking team, then another round on the defending team. When the first round ends, you change sides before moving on to the next one. In the attacking team, you win the victory by managing to score the most points. Expect frantic combat.
QUALITY OF LIFE IMPROVEMENTS
Along with improved modes and rewards, we’ll be releasing a small quality of life update during Redux, which will include balance changes for the Engineer class and a new Codex feature for those who love to learn more. about the story of Battlefield 2042.
We’ll give you all the details via the release notes shortly before Redux launches later this month.
That’s it for today! Our team can’t wait for you to relive the best moments from our first seasons over Redux, with the new content and improvements we’ve made to the game. We’ll be back in October to share more information about Season 6.
We wish you a great summer, and from everyone at Battlefield Studios…fight in style and play objective!
