Battlefield 2042 is an upcoming first-person shooter developed by Swedish game developer DICE and published by Electronic Arts. It is the twelfth main entry in EA's large-scale Battlefield FPS series, and is the first entry to take place in a modern/near future setting since 2013's Battlefield 4.
A direct sequel to Battlefield 4, the game is set in the year 2042 and features the United States and Russia as Earth's last two superpowers, after environmental disasters, economic crisis, rising sea levels, and resource shortages plunged the world into chaos. As the world recovers from a decade of crisis, the two nations use former military personnel from refugee groups, who call themselves "Non-Patriated", in Task Forces to fight each other in proxy wars for control of the new world that has emerged. These refugees are distrustful of the governments that exiled them and refused them safety in the previous years of hardship, but must choose a side to fight for their future.
The game features maps set in exotic locations, such as Egypt, Singapore, Seoul, and Antarctica, with weather events like sandstorms and tornadoes rolling in mid-match to affect the flow of gameplay.
The following weapons appear in the video game Battlefield 2042:
Overview
Battlefield 2042 foregoes the famous class system of all previous Battlefield games, instead using a system called "Specialists", who each have their own unique active and passive abilities, but they still resemble the old class system (Assault, Engineer, Medic, Support, and Recon). The rest of their loadout is fully customizable, allowing players more freedom in their classes and not forcing each class to use a certain category of weapon.
There are 10 specialists at launch (but only 4 are known at this point in time), each with unique abilities.
