Battlefield 2042’s Season 7is unfortunately its final one, but it has introduced a fresh wave of content to the franchise’s latest game. During Season 7,2042added two new maps, three weapons, the Draugr stealth bomber, and more, as EA hopes to endBattlefield 2042’s controversial run on a high note. Fortunately for those still enjoying the game, there’s another significant update right around the corner.
The centerpiece ofBattlefield 2042’s Future Strike event is Strike Team, which is a 4v4 and 8v8 mode that will probably remind fans ofCounter Strike’s classic format orCall of Duty’s Search and Destroy mode. In Strike Team, each player has one life per round as both teams battle to either capture an objective or eliminate all opponents. But unlikeCSandCoD, eliminated players can still assist their teammates by redeploying as a recon drone that can mark or harass enemies. The mode will be playable across 11 different maps and also has a “Shock Round” feature that forces all players to use predetermined, dev-made loadouts every third round. And Strike Team has even more unique features in store forBattlefieldfans.

In Strike Team, only one user per squad can play as one ofBattlefield 2042’s Specialists, and players can see the opposing team’s composition, which allows for strategy around picks and counterpicks. The newBattlefield 2042mode places emphasis on thought-out strategy as well as quick-thinking action, as each round only lasts 90 seconds, with six victories required for a match win.
Similar topreviousBattlefield 2042events, Future Strike will add new cosmetic items that can be unlocked for free by earning ribbons while the event is live or by purchasing bundles. These include a rare tag, epic weapon charm, epic RAH-68 Huron skin, and epic Rao skin. The Future Strike event runs from May 28 to June 10.
