Alongside finally announcing solid beta dates and details for Battlefield 2042, DICE also dropped another long-awaited piece of intel. That being an introduction to how the game handles progression systems, and what unlocks players can expect.
Battlefield games have often had a troubled relationship with progression systems, and many hoped DICE would revamp them for the upcoming game. In a blog post, the studio laid out the various progression systems in the game, and how they’re going to reward players.
For starters, Battlefield 2042 has 99 standard levels. Over the course of this journey, you’ll be unlocking weapons, Specialists, vehicles, gadgets and some cosmetics. When you’re done with that, you’ll get into S-levels, which reach all the way to S999. This is basically just a recognition of your time, so don’t expect any rewards as you climb through the ranks.
