While DICE has yet to deliver any new weapon in Battlefield 2042 since it launched in November last year, that doesn’t mean there’s none planned. Based on datamined info, it seems DICE is planning to feature (or planned to) a Battlefield 2042 crossbow weapon.

Spotted by reliable Battlefield dataminer temporyal, the unreleased Battlefield 2042 crossbow is called “The Ghostmaker,” and can be equipped with explosive bolts, EMP bolts, and even a red dot sight. This weapon was part of the Battlefield 3 DLC “Aftermath” years ago, which BF vets might be familiar with.

Another unreleased bit of content is a skin for the Specialist named Casper, and this is classified as a “Legendary” set, and can’t be mixed with other cosmetics.
Here is a preview of an unreleased soldier set for Wikus "Casper" van Daele in #Battlefield 2042.
It seems to be classified as "legendary" and therefore can't be mixed with other cosmetics. I'm pretty sure the Sand People would approve this outfit. 😉 pic.twitter.com/pP3w3XP726

Mind you, while these are still unreleased items spotted in the game’s files, that doesn’t mean we won’t see them at all. For all we know, the crossbow might be one of the new content planned for Season 1.
