The release of Battlefield 2042 is still about 2 months away and not all details about the latest shooter in the series are known yet. The data miner “temporyal” recently showcased some of his finds in the data of the new Battlefield on Twitter and MeinMMO presents you with his information.
What’s going on? The countdown is on: On October 22, the new Battlefield 2042 will be released and the promotion is in full swing. This also applies to leakers and data miners. Following the conclusion of the Technical Playtest, fresh information about the battle simulation has surfaced.
Especially the data miner “temporyal” (via Twitter) has revealed exciting new information about BF2042 in recent days, and MeinMMO summarizes what you need to know. The information mainly revolves around the mode “Hazard Zone.” But the data miner can also offer new weapons and a small preview of the first season.
However, keep in mind: The information presented in this article is unconfirmed leaks. There is no certainty whether or how the content presented here will be included in the game.
Update August 18, 2:00 PM: The data miner has now released another 5 secondary weapons on his Twitter account. We have added the new information to the section about weapons.
Hazard Zone – An adventure on the BF maps
What is there to know about Hazard Zone? The data miner has shown a lot of information about the new mode, and a fairly clear picture is already emerging of what could be coming your way.
Hazard Zone seems to utilize the entire range of gameplay mechanics in the game, and by collecting a “Hazard Zone currency,” you can buy gadgets, weapons, and equipment for matches. Thus, you carry progress into the next matches, possibly even equipment.
Currently, the data miner has only been able to find the map “Orbital” for the mode. This is the map with the rocket launch. However, there were no indications that the maps have a special designation – temporyal suggests that the mode runs on every map, but cannot confirm it yet.
At the start of the match, you enter the game via a “Little Bird” helicopter. temporyal leaves it open whether you search for a landing spot yourself like in a battle royale or if you start at a random location on the map. The data miner compares the structure of the matches with Escape from Tarkov and Hunt: Showdown. So you can expect a PvEvP system with NPCs and real players as opponents.
Once you arrive on the map, you will search for information, and NPC bosses are also part of the adventure. There are zones with enemies and locations where you can procure equipment. Through these equipments and also through “Tactical Upgrades,” you improve your soldiers. These upgrades include things like faster healing, more rewards, sighting supports, or reconnaissance data.
Due to one of these upgrades – Loadout Insurance – the data miner suspects that you can carry your equipment from one game to the next similarly to Escape from Tarkov. It would be possible to have a storage in the main menu of the mode, where you can store collected equipment and select it for a match if needed. This would mean the reverse that you could also lose your stuff in the match. It is also possible that you only collect the mode currency.
At the end of a match, you take over an extraction point and get flown out with the collected data. Another way to end the match seems to be death.
By the way, we at MeinMMO are currently looking for support for our “Multiplayer Shooter” team. Check it out if you are interested:
Data miner shows 22 primary weapons in a large list
What is there to know about the weapons? Through an analysis of the client data, the data miner has discovered a total of 22 primary weapons. temporyal has displayed a large list of the weapons on Twitter:
The data miner emphasizes that the weapons in-game will likely have different, futuristic names. In terms of melee weapons and secondary weapons, temporyal currently has no large list yet, but that could come soon.
Update: Here you can still find the tweet from temporyal with smaller handguns and a list of melee weapons:
A new map can be linked to Season 1
What is there to know about Season 1? With each season, the shooter is supposed to receive new, free content, keeping it fresh and exciting. Accordingly, each season could feature the following content:
- Class specialists (Here you can find all currently known)
- New weapons for the various game modes
- Maps for multiplayer and the nostalgia mode Portal
- Updates for Hazard Zone
- More vehicles for all modes
- A fresh battle pass with 100 tiers per season
The data miner temporyal has likely already found a hint about the new map for Season 1:
According to the statement of the data miner, a section for “Season 1” can already be found in the game. However, this raises the question of whether Season 1 will go live immediately at release or later. This would also mean that the first battle pass would not be available right at launch. Call of Duty does something similar, releasing the first season only about a month after the launch.
By the way, there are also new and official information regarding Battlefield. Check out this teaser of the latest specialist Kimble Graves:
The latest installment of the large shooter series Battlefield carries the hopes of the community. Many players are excited, and the hype surrounding the grand warfare of Battlefield 2042 is slowly building up.
