Battlefield 2042 Season 6, “Dark Creations,” launched earlier this week and you don’t have to drop a penny to try out the new content. EA and DICE have announced there will be a free-play weekend from today (October 12) until October 16, during which you’ll have access to the entire game, with the exception of the Season 6 premium battle pass. All progress made during the weekend will carry over should you decide to purchase the game (which is a whopping 84 percent off on Steam and other platforms).
As a reminder, here’s some of the new content included in Battlefield 2042 Season 6…
New Map: Redacted
“Inspired by fan-favorite maps from like Operation Locker (Battlefield 4) and Operation Metro (Battlefield 3). This claustrophobic, close-quarters combat focused map takes place in the Scottish Hebrides where an ‘incident’ has revealed a hidden tech-research facility performing classified experiments.
Located within an underground subterranean environment, this is our first map in the Battlefield franchise that offers no outdoor environment. You’ll need to use the tight corridors and elevated areas to play the enemy into your hand - or risk falling into a trap yourself. This facility – with its biodomes and laboratories – hides more than its fair share of secrets for you to discover as you seek out your prey. Just be sure not to get distracted as the enemy will use any chance to turn the tables and ambush you.”
New Weapons: G428, L9CZ and VHX D3
- G428 - An all new DMR offering exceptional accuracy and substantial penetration power that can help you turn your enemies into prey.
- L9CZ - This semi-automatic, highly accurate sidearm is your new best friend in close quarters situations when your primary weapon runs dry.
- VHX D3 - This unique and futuristic assault rifle features optimized portability and performance, making it a valuable asset for close and medium-range combat. Portable. Powerful. And pulverizing to any enemy that comes out of the shadows.
New Gadgets
- Ammo & Medical Pouches - Support your squad by throwing them pouches that will let them replenish their ammo or health. A valuable lifeline when you find death creeping on you and your team.
New Vehicle
- YUV-2 “Pondhawk” - A dynamic two-person transport featuring flight capabilities, letting you and a buddy quickly provide support and rush objectives.
Of course, Season 6 also includes a new battle pass and some quality-of-life adjustments, including improved aim assist and vehicle handling.
Battlefield 2042 can be played on PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, and PS5. As mentioned, the free weekend runs from October 12 to October 16.
