Battlefield 2042 is a first-person shooter developed by Swedish game developer DICE and published by Electronic Arts. It is a main series 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.
The game is set in the year 2042 and features the US and Russia fighting each other as the last two superpowers, after a series of devastating events have plunged the wold into chaos. They both use former military personnel from refugees groups, who call themselves "Non-Patriated", in Task Forces to fight each other in proxy wars. These refugees are distrustful of the government, 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. The rest of their loadout is fully customisable, 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.
Submachine Guns
LWRC SMG-45
The LWRC SMG-45 appeared in the initial reveal trailer.
Assault Rifles
AK-12
The proper AK-12 (unlike the 2012 prototype that was in Battlefield 4) can be seen in the reveal trailer, fitted with a tan handguard, stock and polymer magazine, as well as various attachments.
Machine Guns
Dillon Aero M134 Minigun
Dual M134 Minigun appeared mounted on a helicopter in the reveal trailer.
Browning M2HB
The Browning M2HB appeared on a futuristic "M1A5" Abrams tank in the reveal trailer. It also appears as part of the "SG-36 Sentry System" that Specialist Pyotr "Boris" Guskovsky has access to, fitted with a large muzzle brake.
