Changes in Battlefield 2042
How will the class system return? One change is the return of the class system in Battlefield 2042. The specialists of Battlefield 2042 will be assigned to the four different groups in Season 3.
- Assault – Mackay, Sundance, Dozer
- Support – Angel, Falck, Season 2 specialist
- Engineer – Lis, Boris, Irish
- Recon – Casper, Paik, Rao
This is the current distribution of characters into the class system. However, explicit feedback from players is desired, and the assignments are not final and can still be adjusted.
The change does not mean that the specialists from Battlefield 2042 will disappear; rather, they will additionally be categorized into classes.
This change was made based on player feedback. In the video, it is said: “When specialists were introduced in Battlefield 2042, it polarized. We heard you.”.
The specialists will receive a visual makeover and further improvements in their voice, posture, and facial expressions in Season 2 and 3.
What other changes will there be?
What new weapon innovations are there? With the launch of Season 2, Vault Weapons are set to be introduced in All-out Warfare. These are weapons that originally come from the Portal mode. They can be unlocked through a new feature: Assignments.
Initially, there will be two Vault weapons available at the start of Season 2. More weapons are planned to follow:
- M16A3 Assault Rifle
- M60E4 LMG
Which maps will be revised? Two of the maps, “Renewal” and “Orbital,” will receive a revision. The new Renewal map will be available in September, and Orbital in October. Further launch map updates are planned for upcoming seasons. There will also be a completely new map in Season 2.
What new content will there be? In Season 2, alongside the new map, a new specialist will be added. New hardware and a new Battle Pass will also be included. Portal will receive new content, and “new ways to play” are announced.
The video announces: Season 2 will start soon, and more information about it will follow throughout the month. Currently, the developers of Battlefield 2042 are working on Season 3 and beyond.
Upcoming seasons are expected to include a similar amount of new content and continue to grow Battlefield.
