EA Is Going to Let You Pay Your Way to Obtain Battlefield 6 Rewards in BF2042
Given how well the Battlefield 6 Open Beta was received, it’s perfectly understandable that EA and DICE would want to ride that hype train to Battlefield 2042. Just as the Open Beta ended, DICE released a title update to BF2042 that added a free Battle Pass that included rewards for Battlefield 6, which will be available once the game releases.
This tactic worked, as BF2042 saw an increase of over 500%, with many players jumping in to snag the BF6 rewards. This even drove sales of the game significantly, as it has been tallied; it managed to sell over 500,000 units in a week on Steam alone.
Unfortunately, not everyone is a fan of the grind. While DICE has initiated double XP weekends to make it easier, there’s a new way to obtain these rewards, and that’s by using your wallet.
EA Will Let You Pay Your Way to Obtain the BF6 Rewards in BF2042’s Road to Battlefield 6 Battle Pass
Today, DICE announced that a new title update is due for release for Battlefield 2042 tomorrow, September 9. Tucked away in the changelog is the following items regarding Weekly Missions & Progression.
Weekly Missions & Progression
- Fixed an issue where some weekly missions about doing actions with Vault Weapons would not track with the M1 Garand in All Out Warfare.
- Tier Skip functionality is now active on the Road to Battlefield 6 Pass.
As you can see, it states Tier Skip functionality is now active as part of the title update. While the Battle Pass is free, Tier Skips aren’t. There’s no word on how much publisher Electronic Arts will charge for the skips, but given how many items for Battlefield 6 are in the Battle Pass, it won’t be cheap.
While it’s easy to get outraged at this, remember: this is entirely optional, and no one is holding a gun to your head to pay for these Tier Skips or even to grind for the Battlefield 6 items, which are entirely cosmetic in nature.
In other Battlefield 6 news, leaked gameplay of New Sobek City has surfaced, showing us a good look at one of the launch maps. Not only that, but thanks to datamining, it’s mentioned that Season 1 of BF6 will feature three free maps, with one from Battlefield Hardline.
Battlefield 6 will be out on October 10 for the PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC, while the BF2042 update is out tomorrow on all platforms.
