In Season 3 of Battlefield 2042 , players will be able to battle in the Swedish wilderness on the new Beachhead map , featuring semi-automated manufacturing facilities for high-tech weaponry. New Egyptian-born Specialist and security expert Zain is adept at drawing enemies out of hiding with his XM370A Airburst rifle. Due to his persistence under pressure, Zain can instantly replenish his health after taking out an enemy.
Season 3 also includes several weapons and a throwable classic; these additions aim for high damage and more tactical hits. The Rorsch Mk-4 Railgun fires incredibly fast shells and has multiple fire modes - players who can control reload times will find versatility and power in this cutting-edge weapon.
The NVK-S22 Smart Shotgun double-barreled semi-automatic rifle is compact and agile enough for users to ambush in close quarters. The NVK-P125 Bullpup long barrel pistol is an ideal weapon for ranged engagements. In addition to weapons, the Battlefield 2042 arsenals will also receive throwing knives this season .
The EMKV90-TOR multi-mode tankoffers a versatile way to move around the combat zone, wreaking havoc. The EMKV90-TOR has two modes: Mobility Mode, which emphasizes speed, and Siege Mode, which slows the tank down to a streak, but allows it to inflict immense damage. Also, this tank is equipped with a special system that detects the source of incoming attacks within a certain radius and displays them in the HUD.
Players looking to advance further in Battlefield 2042 will find plenty to do this season. In addition to the Battle Pass, new Assignments will offer other Vault weapons, such as the XM8 and A-91 , and more to come with future Season 3 updates.
