Battlefield 2042 Season 4 – A new map

Season 4, known as Eleventh Hour, is set to launch on February 28. It comes with a brand new map set in South Africa known as Flashpoint. With both enclosed spaces that encourage hand-to-hand combat and surrounding rocky terrain, all play-styles will be catered for. Meanwhile, the previous Discarded map is set for a rework.

Battlefield 1 has a surge in players, kicking the ass of 2042

Additionally, Battlefield 2042 Season 4 will also introduce the CAV-Brawler. This is an armoured personnel carrier and mobile spawn point. 

A new recruit

No update would be complete without a new agent. Known as the ‘ambush expert,’ Camilla Blasco is the latest recon specialist. She has the ability to deploy an X6-infiltration device which prevents enemies from locking onto nearby teammates. Her unique abilities also make her able to evade motion sensors. 

As another recon, Camilla will join the recon class which was originally part of a new organisation change for Battlefield 2042. This change saw all existing characters being sorted based on their class: engineer, medic, recon and assault.

A new battle pass will also be available to players for the new season. This will include 100 tiers of content. Some cosmetics will be available to all players but those who want extra rewards will have to unlock the premium Battle Pass subscription. 

Players can level through this battle pass by completing weekly missions and gaining XP from simply playing. Both standard and premium battle passes are available with the further option to purchase 20 tier skips for a higher price.
