EA and DICE are showing a trailer about Battlefield 2042’s danger zone mode. In this relatively small mode, teams must obtain data discs and access the only two extraction options to leave the perilous battlefield.
The background of Danger Mode is a battle between the United States and Russia in the year 2040. There is talk of global black outThe event where the number of satellites is reduced by 70 percent. Temporary satellites in low Earth orbit have become the new way to gather intelligence. Satellites collect atmospheric images and data based on heat maps and other data. These temporary satellites are shot down in areas controlled by the United States and Russia so that the occupying forces can obtain intelligence information in a private form. data engines On board rickety satellites.
Hazard Zone has up to 32 players on Xbox Series X, S, PlayStation 5, and PC; On Xbox One and PlayStation 4, the limit is 24. The mode consists of four-member teams where only one of each type can be a soldier or specialist in a squad. Not only do these groups have to compete with other teams to get as many hard drives as possible, but they also have to fight with the “mortal occupation forces”. These are opponents separate from enemy teams trying to protect the data engines. It is unclear whether these are opponents of artificial intelligence. AI players are not supposed to be part of the teams, as computer-controlled soldiers can be part of the two warring factions in the All-Out Warfare part of Battlefield 2042. There are also hurricanes that can sometimes arise on the battlefield.
Danger Zone mode can be played on all seven available All-Out Warfare maps. At the beginning of the tour, you will be informed about the stadium, locations and where you will land on the map. Collecting most data engines does not automatically lead to success. There are only two temporary moments to extract, during which teams can leave the battlefield by plane. The goal is to successfully get out of the battlefield using as many hard drives as possible. the first extraction moment in the middle of the round; This is a few minutes after the start of the tour. A random location is chosen for the extraction area. The teams only have minutes to get here successfully. The second extraction area is at the end, about ten to twelve minutes after the start of the round. It’s about choosing to fight for the first extraction or not, or letting it come down to the second and last chance. So it is possible that two teams will successfully leave the battlefield, but it is also possible that neither squad will succeed. If one member of the team succeeds, the rest of the team will still be rewarded.
Players who fall during the round cannot simply return to the battlefield. They end up in spectator screen It can only be retrieved if a team member uses a so-called Reinforcement Uplink. These are available scattered throughout the stadium, but teams can also purchase such a pre-round uplink link. This is done using so-called dark market loans. It can be obtained by successfully exiting the folder containing the hard drives; Each hard drive translates to a certain amount of credits. This coin is specific to the danger zone and cannot be used for the Reinforcement Reinforcement Link alone. Money before the round can also be used to buy special weapons, upgrades, or tools that can only be used in the danger zone. There are also other actions that give credits, but the most popular method is to successfully obtain and remove hard drives.
The Intel Scanner is one of the tools available only in Hazard Zone. This allows to determine the nearly correct locations of satellites that have already crashed. These sites can be transferred to other team members. Data drives are always scannable, no matter where they are located or who holds them. In the middle of the tour, satellites containing multiple hard drives fall from the sky again, making these satellites extra valuable.
Recently, there was a two-day Open Beta of Battlefield 2042, which featured a large multiplayer arena called All-Out Warfare. This part revolves around stadiums for up to 128 players and different modes are available, such as the classic Conquest. In addition to All-Out Warfare, there are two additional parts: Hazard Zone and Battlefield Portal. The latter is a set of tools that allow players to create their own Battlefield experiences, including their own rules. As part of the Battlefield Portal, necessary old Battlefield maps will also be available, such as El Alamein, the Caspian Border, and Valparaíso. Battlefield 2042 will be available on November 19.
