Battlefield 2042 “Circle of Hell” Event Launches Oct. 29; Brings Hardcore Mode, New Event Pass
While DICE might have said good bye to Battlefield 2042 in terms of new seasonal content, that doesn’t mean the studio is stopping from supporting the game altogether. EA has announced another new event for the shooter, and this one fits right in with the Halloween theme. Battlefield 2042’s “Circle of Hell” event launches October 29, and this brings hardcore mode.
What’s New in Battlefield 2042 Circle of Hell:

Battlefield 2042 Circle of Hell Event Pass
Play through 30 tiers in the Circle of Hell Event Pass to unlock Free* and Premium** content including the M1 Garand (coming from Battlefield Portal to All Out Warfare), and XP boosters. All gameplay-affecting items in Battlefield 2042 are free and earnable for all players.
FREE EVENT PASS REWARDS
Free tiers give access to the M1 Garand, cosmetics, and more.
Previously, the only way to play BF2042 hardcore was via the Battlefield Portal. While it’s debatable whether having this new event only available in hardcore settings is a good thing, at least those who do want the mode get to play it. Better late than never, right?
In other Battlefield news, the in-development Battlefield game will see the return of traditional classes, as 128-player matches are now gone. The complete patch notes for the event will be released tomorrow, and we’ll have it up on the site once EA releases it.

You can deny all of the cheating and hacking you want but the facts are that all Battlefield games are compromised and your anti-cheat is a pathetic joke. The servers are rampant with cheaters and frankly many are just fed up. I am an FPS gamer since 1998 and have seen everything since the beginning of cheating. You keep bullshitting everyone and telling them to prove what they know is true. Only the absolutely stupid will pre-order another flop sack of shit game from you,the rest are done.
