DICE is all set to deploy the latest season of Battlefield 2042 this month, as the studio has finally confirmed that BF2042 Season 7: Turning Point will launch this March 19! Players can expect a slew of new weapons, two new maps, and gameplay refinements to be part of the overall download.
Note that some of the new items won’t be available on March 19, but will be released as a mid-season update.
Battlefield 2042 Season 7 New Content and Overview:
NEW MAPS:
Haven – Brings players to a town in the middle of the scorching Atacama Desert called “El Alicanto.” Haven is an urban warfare-focused map with door-to-door combat zones. Haven has been described as a “labor of love” by the dev team and draws inspiration from some of the Battlefield franchise’s most beloved maps including Arica Harbor, Strike at Karkand and Amiens.
Stadium – Arriving mid-season, Stadium is an infantry-only, close-quarters level that was once part of the Hourglass map.
NEW WEAPONS:
AK 5C Assault Rifle – The rifle offers an excellent balance of firepower and accuracy, making it the perfect partner for close-quarters combat.
SCZ-3 Submachine Gun – This SMG is a devastating option for close-quarters combat that stings, especially when equipped with a drum magazine to increase time between reloading.
DFR Strife Light Machine Gun (debuting later in the season) – Get the best of both worlds with this LMG, as it’s compatible with belt-fed ammo to offer an LMG’s magazine size and suppressive quality while retaining the mobility of an assault rifle.
Predator SRAW – A wire-guided missile designed to disable and eliminate both land and air vehicles
New Vehicle:
XFAD-4 Draugr – Arriving later this season, the Dragugr is a cutting-edge aerial bomber that features precision-guided ordinance, including EMP bombs and radar-guided missiles.
Expected Gameplay Improvements in Season 7:
While the complete patch notes won’t be available until a later date, DICE has outlined the major improvements incoming this season.
- Weapon recoil improvements and animations across all platforms
- New enhancements to the deploy screen to make it more streamlined
