One of the big things incoming with Battlefield 2042’s new season is the all-new map “Haven” which will launch once Season 7: Turning Point starts this March 19. For those who want a head start on how the map will play, go read on for the Battlefield 2042 Season 7 new map “Haven” overview.
Battlefield 2042 Season 7 New Map “Haven” Overview and Points of Interest:
Here are the five capture points players will fight over on the map:
A: Gas Station
The gas station is heavily fortified, and claiming it secures additional fuel to try and seize control over the Guarani aquifer. The surrounding infrastructure will allow for vehicles to put their mark on the battle as well. Combined with the semi-destructible buildings, fortifications and rocky surroundings, it will offer you a lot of choice on how to assault or protect the area.
B: Crash Site
The crashed US transport in the heart of the battlefield serves as a grim reminder of the ongoing conflict. But it’s also a sign of how you can use your surroundings to strengthen your approach.
The rocky desert environment of the Crash Site is the perfect playground for battling squads, with the remaining buildings offering plenty of opportunities for cover. However, stay vigilant as these buildings are a prime target for vehicles to be torn down.
C: Town Center
In the midst of this desert warzone stands the once lively marketplace. Now eerily silent, the vibrant colors are muted by dust and smoke of the ongoing conflict. It might be a last reminder for the locals as to what they are fighting for. While offering plenty of cover, the buildings in this area are again ready for destruction. Best to stay alert, as a nearby tank might prove itself useful to clear the area.
D: Oasis
The Oasis could be considered the last location of respite in the Atacama Desert. As a capture point it’s not only vital because of the remaining water, but also because of its lithium pools that provide a vital resource for the winning faction. It makes the Oasis the lifeblood of El Alicanto, and the ultimate prize in this conflict.
E: Checkpoint
On the very edge of El Alicanto lies the last checkpoint. A reminder of what civilization in this area looked like not too long ago. The fortifications allow any controlling force to hold a significant entrance to the town and its resources. The barriers and large barricades between the outskirts of the town will require brawn and brains to overcome. Losing this area might mean losing the town and access to water.
According to DICE, Haven will continue the urban warfare players have been asking for. This new map focuses on infantry and vehicular warfare, and was made for 64-player combat. In terms of inspiration, DICE took ideas from Arica Harbor (Bad Company 2), Strike at Karkand (Battlefield 3), and Amiens (Battlefield 1).
