Battlefield 2042's second season is starting next week, bringing new content alongside it. This season won't contain the big multiplayer class revision – that is being reserved for season 3. In the meantime, this season players can expect a new map, a new Specialist, and new unlockables to collect by completing challenges.
Named Master of Arms, Battlefield 2042's upcoming season was announced with a gameplay trailer to showcase the new features. Starting with the new map, Stranded is an infantry-focused map set in Panama. Most of the playable area is set in a lake without water, with a wrecked container ship at the centre. Renewal and Orbital are also getting tweaked with the new season.
In Stranded, players can travel using the new Polaris RZR off-road buggy, but that's not the only new vehicle coming. If you'd rather have something to defend yourself, the EBLC-RAM can be a nice option. This new heavy ground vehicle is quite mobile and armed, but its best feature may be the ability to drop spawn beacons.
Moving on to the new specialist, Charlie Crawford is the new addition to the line-up of playable characters in BF 2042. For their special skill, the upcoming specialist features a stationary minigun controllable by anyone on the battlefield. Besides the new specialist, the Masters of Arms season will also bring the AM40 carbine, the Avancys LMG, the PF51 sidearm, and the concussion grenade.
DICE is also introducing Vault Weapons, which are weapons once exclusive to Portal. However, they will now become available for you to use on All-Out Warfare after unlocking them. Initially, only the M60E4 and M16A3 will be available but expect more to come as the season progresses. Lastly, there are the Assignments, which let you unlock items from previous seasons, including specialists, weapons, gadgets, and vehicles.
Battlefield 2042 Season 2: Master of Arms will start on August 30th. Discuss on our Facebook page, HERE.
KitGuru says: Despite the bad start, Battlefield 2042 seems to be recovering, but there's still much room for improvement. Do you think Battlefield 2042 will ever reach the same heights of the previous entries?
