Battlefield Briefing – Crimson Front
With the Crimson Front Event unfolding in Battlefield™ 2042, get ready to experience the unprecedented global assault by the Ground Forces' 4th Battalion of the Thousand Petal Coalition. Known as The Red Hand, this experienced and lethal battalion is reputed for pushing the front lines and never falling back.
Join us between April 16 and April 30, 2024* for our new time-limited event. An intense tug-of-war experience that will require everything you got to come out on top.
Push the Frontlines, destroy the M-COMs
Frontlines was a fan-favorite mode in Battlefield 1 and Battlefield V, and we're excited for it to return as a new time-limited game mode within Season 7: Turning Point.
As a mixture of Conquest and Rush, expect a strategic, intensive and fast-paced combat experience focused on relentless assault. You must secure each sector and advance into enemy territory to reach their ultimate defensive line.
Upon reaching the enemy's final line of defense, your goal is to arm and eliminate the enemy's M-COMs to secure a win. However, reinforcements are limited! And if depleted, you will be forced to retreat to the previous sector.
Frontlines is a 20v20 tug-of-war experience, playable on Haven, Reclaimed, Discarded, and Redacted.
Dominate the Frontlines
To ensure you have the upper hand, the team provides us with some tips to share with you:
1. Outflank the enemy: In all but the final sectors, Frontlines is played on one objective at a time. Capturing the objective is vital, but when your teammates are on the point, you can mount an aggressive offense by outflanking the enemy and blocking paths from their HQ to the flag, forcing them back and moving the frontline to your advantage. Adapt to your situation intelligently and respond to the actions of your teammates!
2. Capitalize on momentum: When you capture an objective and push the frontline, you can't afford to slow down. Push towards the next objective before the retreating enemy can set up a defense.
3. Staging a comeback: New to Battlefield 2042's iteration of Frontlines, the defending team in the final sector gets access to vehicles. Make the most of this vital opportunity and push the enemy back with your increased firepower. The longer the vehicle survives, the more damage you can do, even taking it with you into the next objectives if your M-COMs survive the enemy's final push.
Push Forward - In Frontlines, secure each sector and push into hostile territory to reach the enemy’s final defensive line.
Destroy the M-COMs - When you reach the enemy’s final defensive line, arm and destroy their M-COMs to achieve victory. Be advised: your reinforcements are limited. If they’re depleted, you must fall back to the previous sector.
Hold the line - Frontlines is a tug-of-war experience, where your enemy has the same mission as you. The enemy can retake sectors and will fight to push farther into your territory.

Year of the Dragon Event!
Year of the Dragon is almost upon us,
To celebrate this occasion, all players will be tasked with earning ribbons in order to unlock the “Harmonic Balance” Weapon Skin for the Super 500 as seen above.

Changelog
Squad Spectator Modifier for Battlefield Portal
You will now have the ability to enable Squad Spectating within Battlefield Portal Custom Experiences. This will allow you to spectate your Squad Mates after dying before entering the deploy screen once more to redeploy similar to the experience within Hazard Zone.
As part of this update we will also be introducing the ability to disable the button on this Spectator screen which will prevent you from redeploying, allowing for Custom Experiences to feature “One-Life” or “Tactical Squad” modes while still allowing for spectating your immediate Squad.
AI, Soldier and General Improvements
- Players will now see a Crossplay Status Indicator within the Main Menu if they currently have Crossplay as OFF.
- We have extended the Personal Player color functionality to include more HUD Elements. You can set your own color, which will be visible to yourself, within the Options > HUD section.
Gadgets & Specialists
- Fixed an issue where the head hitbox of a player mounted on Crawford's Vulcan could become misaligned.
- Fixed an issue that could cause a player to not see a successful SOFLAM lock-on against vehicles.
- The Penguins have applied extra glue to the C5 so they should now stick to vehicles with greater efficiency.
- The APS-36 Shootdown Sentinel should no longer intercept Smoke Grenades.
- Fixed an issue where if both an enemy and friendly fired Tracer Darts at the same vehicles, the “Target Acquired” prompt would sometimes be missing.
- Fixed the "Target Acquired" prompt to sometimes be shown on destroyed vehicles.
- Fixed the SG-36 Sentry Gun sometimes targeting destroyed vehicles.
Battlefield Portal
- Added math blocks for common used tasks that we noticed players were performing a lot within Custom Experiences. There are now math blocks for the following items.
- DegreesToRadians - Takes in an angle in degrees and outputs the same angle but expressed in radians
- RadiansToDegrees - Takes in an angle in radians and outputs the same angle but expressed in degrees
- Ceiling - Takes in a decimal number and outputs the value rounded upwards. i.e. 1.4 would be rounded up to 2.
- Floor - Takes in a decimal number and outputs the value rounded downwards. i.e. 1.6 would be rounded down to 1.
- Pi - Constant block that outputs the value of Pi for use in calculating circumferences and areas of a circle.
Weapons
- Fixed an issue that could cause empty magazines in the SVK to still contain bullets visually.
- Fixed an issue where the carry handle of the VHX-D3 sometimes didn't render correctly.
- Fixed texturing issues on the P90 magazine.
- Minor fixes to stats of certain low-magnification sights on the Collection Screen.
- Fixed an issue that resulted in some high recoil, fast-firing weapons from gaining vertical recoil after the angle exceeded a certain value.
- Fixed a discrepancy between the Collection Screen and ammo count ingame for the ACW-R extended magazine.
- Fixed a clipping issue when using the PSO-1 Scope on the SCAR-H.
- Corrected the pros and cons of the High-Power Magazine on the G428 in the Collection Screen.
- Corrected the Rate of Fire stat for the AC-42 in the Collection Screen
- Fixed the alignment of some scopes with the rail of the M416
- Fixed the alignment of the ACOG Scope on the M60E4 LMG (BC2)
Vehicle Changes
- Fixed a variety of issues related to interactions between Vehicle Systemic Damage and EMP. Including scenarios that result in a permanent vehicle disabled state after being EMP’ed.
- The EBAA Wildcat now has access to Air Radar. The range of this can be altered via Air Radar settings within the options menu.
- EMKV90-TOR Canister Coax can no longer be reloaded manually.
- Fixed issues where the replenish icon and weapon replenishment were not correctly matched on Battlefield Portal vehicles.
- Regular body damage to the MD540 Nightbird will no longer result in systemic failure. Players should target the avionics of the aircraft in order to disable it.
- Fixed an issue where air vehicles would not take damage when colliding with skyscrapers on Hourglass.
- Reduced the magnet effect that some helicopters may encounter while being close to the ground.
