Battlefield 2042 danger zone would be inspired by Escape from Tarkov

Battlefield 2042’s new danger zone will be inspired by Battlestate Games’ FPS Escape from Tarkov, a datamine from the game’s private tech gaming test suggested.

According to details shared on social media by the community dataminer @Temporyal, the mode – which has not yet been officially detailed by DICE – will allow players to battle AI enemies and fight to reach extraction points without losing their loot.

In Escape from Tarkov, players are assigned an extraction point on the other side of the map and must fight against other players and AI enemies in order to reach that point and escape. with their loot collected.

In addition to these standard extractions, players also have the option of using optional extraction points but must complete certain objectives to do so, for example by acquiring certain loot.

Once mined, players can store their loot for future matches or sell it to other players. When players die in a match, they lose everything, including the equipment they brought with them.

“Expect to collect information from crashed data drives and satellites in the danger zone,” the Battlefield 2042 dataminer wrote. “After a briefing screen and insertion via Little Bird, it’s your turn to search The area. The danger of losing equipment can be countered with “cargo insurance,” one of the many tactical upgrades. “

They added, “The Battlefield Hazard Zone maps appear to feature various points of interest like ammo stations and uplinks.

“Here you can call in a Ranger (Robot Dog) or an HDT Storm (ATV). There are also links to a respawn sequence with states such as start, pause, resume, and quit.

“You might encounter AI soldiers like a patrol using a Jaguar EBRC or HDT Storm in the #Battlefield Hazard Zone.

“According to some data, they can get reinforcements and parachute (solo or in squads) on the map. AI ‘bosses’ will likely serve as additional objectives and grant rewards.

“You can leave the danger zone using an extraction zone (landing zones for helicopters which can be claimed and activated). An extraction can also fail if you miss the helicopter.

“Money bag” Dangerous Zone Currency “is probably the key to expanding your collection of weapons, gadgets and perks…”

Dice previously described Hazard Zone as “a whole new kind of high-stakes team-based game” that is “distinctly DICE” but “very different” from the Conquest or Breakthrough modes of All-Out Warfare.

The Battlefield 2042 invite-only tech test has been running on PC and Xbox since Thursday. DICE has canceled its Battlefield 2042 tech game test on PlayStation 5 due to a “critical issue.”

The tests will welcome “a few thousand participants” before larger tests in an open beta scheduled for September.

The Standard Edition of Battlefield 2042 is slated for release on October 22, 2021, priced at $ 59.99 for Xbox One, PS4, and PC, and $ 69.99 for Xbox Series X / S and PS5.
