As expected, DICE has announced a new mid-season Battlefield 2042 event, and this one is fitting for the holidays! Called the Battlefield 2042 “Holiday Protocol” event, it kicks off tomorrow, December 12!
Battlefield 2042 “Holiday Protocol” Event Details:
Schedule: December 12 to January 9, 2024
Four New Limited-Time Modes:
Rapid Strike – Rapid Strike brings hardcore home for the holidays with a community-built experience from SgtPuggle01. Rapid Strike is a faster, deadlier, more realistic Conquest experience than ever before. Can you stay alive long enough to bleed the enemy dry?
Attack of the Elves – The elves drank a bad batch of eggnog and are intoxicated with madness. Can the Santas outlast the elves and save the holidays before it’s too late?
Infantry Conquest Chaos – This holiday season, the stockings are stuffed with chaos. Conquest goes botts on the ground with no vehicles and faster objective capture, bullets, respawn, equipment throwing and max run speed.
Pondhawk Superiority – Conquest transforms into a pondhawk paradise. Equip your grappling hook, grab a handgun, and load out with C5 or your favorite rocket launcher – with infante gadget ammo. ‘Tis the season for pandemonium.
As one might expect, there are new rewards to earn during the event as well (and expect new ones for sale, too), which should add spice to the mayhem.
Rewards:
- “No Pain, No Cane” Weapon Charm
- “Gift Wrapped” Irish Specialist Set
Not a bad way to close out 2023, no? Of course, there’s a lot more to look forward to come next year, as DICE has confirmed that we’ll be seeing Season 7! Not only that, but the announcement seems to tease that we’ll be getting more than one new map in the new season.
If there’s a title update released for the event, we’ll be sure to let our readers know. We’re not expecting one, but if anything gets announced, we’ll be sure to have it up on the site.
