In a few days, the winter update for Battlefield 1 will be released. These changes could be brought into the game by the patch.
There will be the next patch for Battlefield 1 this month. It’s about time, as the name “winter update” barely fits the current season. So far, players have speculated when this update would be released and what changes the developers have planned.
It has now been announced that the winter update for Battlefield 1 will be released on February 14, 2017, coinciding with Valentine’s Day.

However, the developers have not yet disclosed specific details about the changes in the update. You can already gather first impressions on February 13, as DICE LA will broadcast a first look livestream on the Twitch and YouTube channels of Battlefield.

In the stream, new features, changes, and improvements will be presented. Some of these have already been tested in the CTE and are now making their way into the game. As previously mentioned, the developers have not provided exact details about these changes. However, various features are possible that have already been tested on the test servers. These include:
Ribbons
- Ribbons can be collected during gameplay. There are initially 20 different ribbons to collect, each granting you 500 XP. They have been designed to reward team play and objective play.
Elite Codex Entry
- There are elite codex entries for eight of the available primary weapons in the game. To unlock them, you just need to make 500 more kills per weapon. As a reward, you will receive not only an Elite Codex but also 25,000 bonus experience.
Increased Class Ranks
- The highest rank of a class will soon be 50. As a reward, you will receive a nice kill card in the style of the corresponding class.
Vote Map
- After a match, you can vote on which map should be played next. You will have two maps to choose from, which consist of random maps from the server’s map rotation. This voting takes place during the victory screen and therefore does not require any additional time between rounds.
Vehicle Spawn
- Vehicles are now not present in the game from the start but will spawn only when the round starts. This is intended to make the vehicle choice fairer.
Keep in mind that these are changes in the CTE that could be part of the winter update on February 14. These are not confirmed changes by the developers. What exactly will change with the update will be revealed during the Battlefield 1 stream on February 13.
