While DICE just released a Battlefield 5 patch last week, the Battlefield 5 next update is set to be rolled out tomorrow, which is expected given the previous announcement by the studio. What’s in it? Not a lot, actually, but it will enable the Marita map, and two Elite soldier skins, and that’s pretty much it.

The Battlefield 5 next update is estimated to be around 500MB on Xbox One, 300MB on PC, and while there’s no confirmed file size for the PS4, I suspect it’ll be close to the XB1 file size.

Here’s the Battlefield 5 next update roll out schedule (no downtime expected):

• PC –       1AM PT // 4AM ET // 9AM BST // 10AM CEST
• PS4 –     2AM PT // 5AM ET // 10AM BST // 11AM CEST
• Xbox –   3AM PT // 6AM ET // 11AM BST // 12PM CEST

While there’s no expected downtime, players should restart the game in order to start the download and install. Those interested in playing the Marita map, DICE will have a playlist available.

Marita will then go live at 12PM CEST on all Platforms, and we will activate a Marita only playlist at this time. The playlist will rotate between 1 Round of Conquest, and 2 Rounds of Breakthrough (Attack/Defend) on this Map only. Marita will otherwise be included in the full rotations of Conquest, Breakthrough, and Team Deathmatch (appearing after Arras in Conquest, after Devastation in Breakthrough, and after Al Sundan on TDM) at this same time.

Starting August 8, DICE will launch a newer Marita playlist live for 32-player modes that switches from Domination, Frontlines, and Team Deathmatch (TDM).

DICE has also mentioned how there is a known issue while certain weapon skins are equipped in the Marita map.

Known Issue – Through testing on Marita, we’ve discovered a minor issue whilst certain Weapon Skins are equipped in the Receiver slot.  Under certain circumstances, an overly bright reflection from the Sun can cause an unintentional Glare effect that’s present with Aiming Down Sight. This is most prominent when a reflective skin is applied (e.g. Gold Plated, White Tiger, Blued etc.), and can be lessened by switching to a different skin in your Receiver slot.

Examples of the most extreme instances of this are shown below (under both of the maps weather conditions).

Same as always, once the patch is out, we’ll let our readers know ASAP.

With Battlefield 5 getting a patch this past week, it seems the studio not only brought in game fixes to the game, but also some prep work for what’s coming down the line as well. A couple of Battlefield 5 upcoming weapons, and something called “Community Missions” have been unearthed via the game files.

Leaked by reliable Battlefield 5 dataminer temporyal, check out the some of the Battlefield 5 upcoming weapons and other info below.

Battlefield 5 upcoming weapons:

M3 SMG (“Grease Gun”)

“The M3 is an American .45-caliber submachine gun adopted for U.S. Army service on 12 December 1942. The M3 was chambered for the same .45 ACP round fired by the Thompson submachine gun, but was cheaper to produce and lighter, although, contrary to popular belief, it was less accurate. This myth stems from a US Army training film portraying the M3 as more accurate than its counterparts. The M3 was commonly referred to as the “Grease Gun” or simply “the Greaser”, owing to its visual similarity to the mechanic’s tool.”(Wikipedia)

Type 100 SMG

“The Type 100 was a Japanese submachine gun used during World War II, and the only submachine gun produced by Japan in any quantity. It was made in two basic variants referred to by American and British observers as the Type 100/40 and the Type 100/44, the latter also known as the Type 100 (Simplified). A small number of the earlier version were converted into using folding stock, sometimes referred to by the Allies as the Type 100 Navy, which was made for parachutists.” (Wikipedia)

​

Type 99

Disclaimer: The title (“Type 99”) doesn’t really give away if we’re talking about the LMG or Bolt-Action Rifle so expect (at least) one of them to arrive with the Pacific theatre.

The Type 99 light machine gun was a light machine gun used by the Imperial Japanese Army in World War II.” (Wikipedia)

“The Type 99 rifle Arisaka or Type 99 short rifle was a bolt-action rifle of the Arisaka design used by the Imperial Japanese Army during World War II.” (Wikipedia)

Another thing that’s coming to Battlefield 5 is called the “Community Missions,” which is something that multiplayer first-person shooter will be familiar with. Usually, these things require the entire community to band together to complete a certain weekly/monthly rewards, and once it’s completed, a reward is given.

Community Missions

DICE seems to be working on an additional mission system, which will get the whole player base involved:

• The first “Community Mission” is called “Celebrate the Effort”.
• It requires us to earn a certain score in any game mode.
• You will be able to see your contribution in the menu.
• I don’t know anything about possible rewards.

Finally, it seems the Panzerbüchse 39 will not be the reward for Chapter 4 Week 7. It seems DICE has changed this and instead we’re getting the “Waterproof” weapon set for the M3) Drilling. The Panzerbüchse 39 will be available in late August according to the schedule for the next patch, though, so don’t fret.

Not a bad set of leaked info, no? Once we know more, we’ll make sure our readers know about it ASAP.
